I like how the guy is assembling his bassoon in the middle of the performance
When? I didn't see it.
You limed it, like a rum and cola?
I can´t see it! please tell me when?
They zoomed in on him in the bggining of the video xD
2:10 to 2:18, in the upper right hand corner .. contrabassoon guy is making sure everything is just right
7:48
I smiled when i saw his face. He knew what part was coming :D
I'll just take my time assembling my bassoon. No big deal.
GREAT JOB. I LOVED IT.
darling ... he is just cleaning the spitt from the mouth piece
Sharkattackguy you can see, at 0:25 he has his bass and bell joints disconnected from the bassoon. He was probably cleaning out the spit, but he was, by definition, assembling the instrument
that guy got so much air time!! they could have used a different shot!! Hilarious!!
Looking past the fact that I absolutely adore Fantasia and Sorcerer Mickey, this is one of my favorite pieces of music. It's such a gorgeous piece and has always spoken to me.
what's it say
i love the movie fantasia so much. it’s such a shame that it didn’t make as much at the box office as it should have. i really wish disney would make another one, although they made one in 2000. i believe there are so many more classical pieces that should be represented.
@@keyaunna.
Given how Disney has jumped the shark as of late, the result would probably be underwhelming.
I remember watching this on TV as a child! I can see the brooms marching
I LIVE for everything that happens after 7:40.
God, I know. That part is just pure and powerful chaos, magic and madness and I LOVE IT
And the whole piece is just beautiful catastrophe
Congratulation to the orchestra. I know this music is a nightmare for the musicians.
Eliane R. Why is that?
@@S255fjrbr Because a lot of orchestral audition excerpts are in this piece for a lot of different instruments - that would suggest that a lot of the parts are technically challenging. Also the way the music is notated is not so easy either. The story goes that Dukas was being paid by the bar (measure for Americans), so instead of writing the music in 9/8 he wrote most of it in 3/8, so each measure is one of three making a super bar. This makes it difficult to count the rests too.
@@lipkinasl thank you!
@@lipkinasl Dukas is an absolute troll then
It sounds difficult. It's difficult for me to even analyze all the parts while listening to it...which is one reason why I love it! I love the complexity!
All of the songs from Fantasia are proof that masterpiece stories can be told without words.
Paul Dukas himself could not have any complaint about that performance. Simply wonderful. (But no doubt it's ten minutes of just about the most frantic music an orchestra ever has to play.)
I heard that from Super Solvers Midnight Rescue.
If the rest of his work was like this, then what possessed him to destroy so much of it?
Died
This piece is incredible. The music by itself tells the story:
Motif introduction for the water: 0:10 expanded in 2:32
Motif introduction for the broom 0:17 Expanded in 2:10
Motif introduction for the Apprentice 1:03 Expanded in 3:13
Motif for the Sorcerer 1:29.
Its interesting listening how the motif for each character interacts with each other.
7:10 is a brilliant struggle between the Apprentice and the Broom which explodes at 7:50 with the broom overpowering the apprentice.
"i do not think the prudent one hastes to initiate/a sequence of events which he lacks power to terminate" -- Archy the Cockroach, "prudence"
7:53 , man shreds that triangle
That is the Glock
They played it so fast. The glockenspiel player rose to the challenge though ! Then again, they're Russians so they're among the best in the world when it comes to classical instruments
You know, Vladimir Putin night have the whole Orchestra on steroids, like the Olympians! But it ain't cheatin', coz they're not competin'.
This glockenspiel part is one of the most challenging pieces in all of the standard repertoire for a percussionist. This lady played the part very well! The entire performance was amazing, bravo!!!!
She was def playing it Neil Peart-style.
holy shit as a middle schooler i gotta play this for auditions im scared
The piccolo part, especially the last excerpt that is played with the glockenspiel is pretty impossible to play.
Besides the fact this piece got famous with Fantasia due to its enigmatic theme, this is such a tour de force in many ways. The harmony is absolutely brilliant and powerful, and it perfectly shows the skills Dukas acquired in that precise matter all along his career.
6:34 is one of the coolest bassoon parts maybe ever written
Hell yeah :)
@@aurel9197*contrabassoon
I assume you refer to the double bassoon part...? Yes, contrabassoon.
I actually play it for the tuba
In a marching show ofc
For those learning the glockenspiel excerpt
3:12 [17] - [20]
3:35 [22] - [24]
Not me using the time stamps to see the absolutely insane glockenspiel playing
4:07 the director when full Italian there
Aquaman me.
conductor*
Yeah good joke😒
good one. Coming from an Italian. :D
Lol
I can't be the only one completely entranced by that glockenspiel!
3:35 Get it, girl!
Close your eyes, and try listening to this without thinking about Mickey Mouse and all those broomsticks. It's pretty much impossible!
Actually the broomsticks are correct - see a translation of Goethe's poem here: germanstories.vcu.edu/goethe/zauber_e4.html - but I do try to picture it with a boy rather than a mouse. Not easy.
Nah, not me. I never saw the Mickey clip, so instead I’ve mentally inserted a completely different scene of my own design whenever I hear this piece.
I personally think it’s cooler than whatever the video might have had in store.
@@ethangenz5254 Honestly, it's probably not >< that scene in fantasia is a masterpiece itself.
Marco Zepeda Dream Drop Distance, but yea
No, I don't. Is there anything wrong with me?
I remember this from Fantasia when Mickey's conducting the brooms :D
+Talez Prower : My favorite disney ever!
me too.
Fantasia was a masterpiece of 1940 which was a Classic, but there is the more recent film with How To Train Your Dragon star Jay Baruchel and his mentor is Ghost Rider actor Nicholas Cage.
Everyone does
@patrick leahey I'm not sure about the entire piece, but there's a single measure between 8:06 and 8:14 that's not in the film. (I only noticed because that's part of my favorite sequence in the piece and I've been watching that part of Fantasia a LOT. Lol)
THE song for Sunday morning chores!
The best Sorcerer's Apprentice I have ever heard. Bravo, bravo, bravissimo! Very good conductor, very good orchestra.
no comment, yet a comment
(p.s im on this video for school)
Mhm.
well said!
@@greenetomphson6164 Brought me to tears :(
he's spitting straight facts tho
Although it's the telling of a cautionary tale, what a joyous, brilliant piece of work.
I always remember Mickey Mouse when I listen to this piece.... Thanks for the memories
Me too.
Brandon Cummings Why? It's not our fault that Mickey Mouse is associated with this piece.
@@catluvr2 Yeah, it's Disney's fault.
We are playing this in High school band. It’s a really fun piece.
@Miles Chacon I used to play trumpet, now I play horn
We played this as the closure for our halftime show last year.
All hail!.!Congratulations to this fantastic russian orchesta!
Always makes me smile.
The chaos out of order.
Malevolence is wicked, but such fun.
That's a Bingo!
Watching a professional musician - who is supposed to be stoic and reserved during his performance - bob his head along as he plays his opening jingle is the best visual depiction of the essence of music you can have.
A curious fact about this masterpiece: is that it belongs to the programmatic genre, one that strives to create evocative music able to tell a narrative. Most of these pieces are either based on oral tradition/ legends and myths or literature itself. The sorcerer's apprentice is a prime example of this genre, but we can make an interpretation of the music ourselves. For me this music also perfectly conveys what having psychotropic episode could feel like in music, with Its heights of euphoria and hallucinations but that slowly can sink into a very unpleasant state of mind, manifesting tortuous scenes from the past of even imagined nightmares. It can be bound to many different interpretations, and that's what makes this piece, and in general music, so great, because each person puts its own feelings and experiences when listening to music.
Night on Bald Mountain has a similar effect.
oh god 4:09 through 4:30 to is some of the most beautiful and psychedelic sounding music I have ever heard. so incredibly ethereal
try Bela Bartok Concerto for Orchestra
My favorite part too. Those cellos tho...
Parece o HINO DO BRASIL
I love Dukas' effect created by the passages in 8:19 to 8:23, and 8:25 to 8:28, where each woodwind instrument has a substantial part, and yet it sounds like tinkling glass altogether. It's genius.
And no, it's not just the glockenspiel. Listen to the ending of th-cam.com/video/VIot9JTkhwE/w-d-xo.html, to hear the winds more clearly.
This piece certainly puts the orchestra in good use! And the performance was flawless.
HOLY CRAP that’s absolutely incredible.
An absolutely great rendition.
Everytime I listen to this I perceive new sounds, such nuance!
One of my favourite pieces there's something so nostalgic for me in it. Amazing
I have a 18 months toddler who demands every day to watch this video (she likes both to watch an orchestra playing and the Disney animated version). When the videos finish she claps her hands and shouts bravo!
She accidentally pressed the dislike button. So now I know who are those grumpy snobs who mark the thumbdown :D
That's adorable😂
Ask her which instrument she likes best, and get her one. Cultivate her talent. Hope it's not the glockenspiel
@@dadacratwhat did the glockenspiel do lol
The BEST rendition I have heard in my 67 years on earth!
Sure.
That was brill!!!!! I used to listen to this as a toddler. I'm 41 now. It's my favourite piece of classical music ever. And this version is exactly how I remember it. Note for note. So many memories listening to this again after so long. Eeeh they don't write 'em like this anymore! :o)
***** Yep. I used to put this on and listen to it wearing headphones. I was literally 2 or 3 years old. I remember seeing it performed live for the first time by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra aged about 10 and it was like they were playing it just for me! :o)
+Andrea Llewellyn I'm currently in highschool working to become a composer; this piece is the best I've ever seen at telling a story note for note. It makes me feel sad for Paul Dukas as many of his works were destroyed after he died. I wish I could be even close to this level of musicality when I compose in the future.
Dukas destroyed his own works. He was a very self-critical man, but an absolute genius!
This reminds me so much of Fantasia....oh the memories
Stunning performance. Moscow City can be proud to have an orchestra such as this
You bet
Go bassoons! :'D
+Jharmainyack We are doing this in our band(Lake Charles Community Band in L.C., LA) on Halloween Day for a concert. We have ONE bassoon, who is the director's daughter, a teenager in high school who made All-State band) in an outdoor concert on Halloween Day. Heaven forbid she gets sick or for some other reason can't make the performance! It's a lot of fun to play, BTW.
+Dale Andrews how did it go?
+Saturn It got rained out. And since it was to be an outdoor concert, that was it. It was a "gulleywasher" too.
Anyhoo, we're on to Christmas music - and it's easy d/t familiarity.
Thanks for asking.
p.s. I play trombone(2nd part) and notice you have part of what looks like a French horn on your home page. Do you play as well?
Dale Andrews Sorry that it got rained out, that kinda sucks. And yeah, you were right, I play horn. I think my youth orchestra is playing this piece sometime soon.
BASSOON=BEST INSTRUMENT CREATED
Legend has it they all transformed into brooms at the end of the presentation
Happy Birthday to Paul Dukas REST IN POWER Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I really like the conductors expression right here.
It's at 7:45.
Me too. And I get that same expression on my face during that part. Love it! 😄
My god what a wonderful performance. Every tempo perfection, every note crisp - I'm breathless!
No matter how many times I hear this, I see Mickey with his hat and dancing brooms
I try not to. It's hard, though.
2:00
Let me tell you a story
When I was 5 years old, I got this cool Mickey Mouse snow globe that played music and I played it nonstop in my living room, shaking it and twisting the knob on the bottom. My parents eventually got tired of constantly hearing it and they decided to hide it away from it. I missed that globe, but as time went on, I forgot about it, then 7 years later I remember it and I tried looking for it but somehow never found it,
After all these years, this truly makes me shed a tear
The musicians put a lot of emotion into their performance.
I had to listen to this after the awful movie with the same name I watched. My childhood memories along with the story came back and did in 11 minutes more than the 2 hours waste of time of the movie. Thank you. Brilliant.
Do you not associate it with the segment from Fantasia (with Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice)? Was your first exposure to this really that awful movie?
2:08 я вспомнил детство) так как этот фрагмент был в мультике и в игре Fantasia😋
this is an amazing performance - love the glockenspiel player - such an incredibly difficult part.
It's music like this that makes me love classical.
I simply and from my heart love this music and the performance.
Bassoonists were the best!!!
I love hearing the glockenspiel, haven't heard or played one since I was at school.
I used this video to teach my students about the Bassoon this week. It was a hit, thank you for posting such an amazing performance!
Fantastically played, I love the Oboe, and this piece of music in particular.
Locharald Johansson
Locharald Johansson, the oboe has a beautiful and unique sound. Sadly, it's quite hard to play.
"i do not think the prudent one hastes to initiate a sequence of events which he lacks power to terminate" -- archy the cockroach
An enchanting piece of music and a stunning performance... really fabulous.
6:26 I love contrabassoon
Bro this sounds so good you can’t even tell a difference from the original song 😄
Totally EXCELLENT, Great Orchestra, Great rendition, BRAVO BRAVISSIMO.
Spaciba bolchoi e 👍👏👍👏👍👏👍
This masterpiece makes be proud to be french.
Toujours, Vive La France.
@@dadacrat Pour moi, le compositeur le plus important en France est Hector Berlioz... "La grande messe des morts" - Extraordinaire!
You shouldn't be
@@piefaceapl1210 ? EXPLAIN AND GIVE YOUR NATIONALITY AND REAL NAME LIKE ME, MAN WITH NO HONOR!
I was waiting for Mikey Mouse to appear.This is a lovely piece of music.It is a splendid performance!
@Final Paragon Did you mean Mighty Mouse? And Mickey's got nothing on Mighty? Poor Dukas is peeing blue ink at all this upstaging him by mice.
My favourite piece of Classical Disney Music.
Insane the tempo... ohh my god, amazing players... Dukas... a master composer & orchestrator.
3:57 Yoda: "Sooo....Count Dooku! Mastered the art of orchestrational manipulation, I see. Hmm. Hmmm. Clever!"
My favourite piece of music, first heard on the B side of Ravels Bolero, bought by my sister in 63, saw it performed live by an orchestra at a Leeds school in 66, never heard a bad version.
Always a wonderful Treat. Thanks again.
Love the contra bassoon and bass clarinet !!!
Super Stück. Ich mag Klassig auch jede andere Art von Musik
I'm enjoying this a lot!!
all I've read in the comments are just wholesome, and currently with the pandemic just reading them just made my day.
The videographer or the camera director should have studied the score so he could have his camera on the appropriate instruments at the appropriate times.
While live retransmissions of concerts, there’s actually a music specialist who tell the technician which instrument to film
I personally think that there is not enough use of the cymbals, nor tipani, and there are times where the brass section can't even be heard over the other instruments.
It's still a wonderful recording but I personally think there are more than 3 times where the orchestra is unbalanced when it comes to sound for certain parts.
Any time the video shows a musician resting is a waste of video. 😄 Still, I'm grateful to have this to watch and listen to. 🙂
I regularly find this to be a problem with live performance videos
yep they never give us a good look at the percussion. It's disappointing
just a timeless masterpiece, love it! Bravo Maestro Michail Jurowski and his wonderful team. THANK YOU!!
this is composition on a level so high there are very few people who have written at this level. That's a human achievement on a grand scale.
Вот это и есть настоящие темпы Дюка, Браво оркестр！👍👍👍
Hardest glock part I've ever seen in my entire life lol
Agree....
it is
Glock excerpt is used for symphony orchestra percussionist auditions...guess she passed!
well theyre made of polymer and steel ;-P
IKR?!! I haven’t mastered it yet. Concert in two days...
I'm litterally in love with the glock player. I could marry her for the 3:35 part
I play the glock too
Back to enjoy this Masterpiece again. Thanks.
Wow, so incredible. I hear similar characteristics in the music of Bernard Herrmann, John WIlliams and Danny Elfman. They surely must’ve drawn some inspiration from Dukas.
Well this music genre is known as programe music, The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an ancient tale. This is Dukas's musical adaptation of it. Film scores are also musical adaptations of stories, essentially the successor to programe music. So essentially, this is the same genre as composers such as John Williams. Other examples of Programe Music would be pieces such as Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet and Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra, based on existing literary works.
@@WillCMay Specifically speaking of the notation. 🎶
@@richmoreno9938 Pieces based on stories have meaning. In this case, the vague meaning would be magic getting out of control because an inexperienced user is wielding powerful nagic. Film composition often involves a "Temp track", which the director will use to get certain stylistic qualities from the composer. Knowing that John Williams has composed for several series in which this theme is present, I can totally see it being a temp track. To be clear, that doesn't make it plagerism (this piece is public domain, if they wanted to use it they'd just use it outright).
@@WillCMay I was referring to inspiration. Not plagiarism.
Rest in peace Michail. Thank you for bringing us this wonderful rendition.
Oh my... this is probably the best performance I've heard of this piece. WELL DONE ❤❤
FENOMENAL...i love it! thank you so much
По-настоящему волшебно :) Приятно слушать классику во время работы , особенно ученика чародея , особенно в вашем исполнении . Браво
Many thanks!
Thanks again. Just Wonderful.
Must Watch/Hear again Tomorrow.
A beautiful piece of music. Compliments to the orchestra for playing it so well.
Love watching the string section in an orchestra, the movement of the bows practically in unison is hypnotic!
Mad respect to the bassoonist setting up during the song
What a wonderful Performance😘
Great music by all means, full of joy and mystery. Very good performance, and a pleasure to see Jurowsky's conduction.
Dukas and Disney an impossible disassociation
That glockenspiel excerpt at 3:36 tho
She rocks that glock!
She did AN AWESOME JOB!
I love the special glock you need for this piece, such a cool instrument.
Oh my god Thankyou for the time mark I have to play this excerpt 😂😭
YES, thank you for the time mark - I went back to play it and now all the hairs on my arms are standing up straight.
Such an excellent performance!
Just superb.
Five years wow! Incredible performance, well done!
ah the magic of disney, i miss those days. now a soulless corporation.
Just finished watching Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 on Disney+, wonderful piece of art perfectly synced! So much nostalgia... now I'm almost 23, and it's been more or less 15y since I enjoyed Fantasia.
Glad I got this in my feed, so I could enjoy such good music!🔥
