Prokofiev did such a good job of conveying cold aristocratic arrogance in the main theme of the Dance of the Knights, and quiet interpersonal discovery and growing feelings in the middle section. And the way the main theme comes back in slowly as a crescendo gradually picking up all former instruments at 4:40 is perfect for the overbearing nature of the Montagues and Capulets that intrude upon the quiet personal feelings of Romeo and Juliet.
@@spartan113ish even I, not speaking French, can understand that is said “this is good obsession, it’s normal”. Probably because this is common latin language ancestor to French and English.
I agree, that’s my favorite part of the whole piece. Out of all the other versions of this I’ve seen on TH-cam, this is the only one that doesn’t have notes weirdly collide at that part
One of the most incredible symphonic pieces ever composed. Yes, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms and others. This Prokofiev piece is often an overlooked masterpiece. So much emotion and dynamism.
That is because of the strong contrast of the high violins and deep bass horns im combination with the heavy drum sounds and the thunderous cymbals. Even the most ambitious guitarists can only visualize their emotions in the range their instrument can play. That is why some metal bands combine classical music and instruments with modern elements and styles.
Also most modern bands don't really take the time it needs to create the right mood and build an Athmosphere. Therefore mostly the emotional ranges of the songs are minimal. A good example for a band taking its time to bring emotion across would be the german gothic band "subway to sally". On their CDs they are rather mediocre because of the record label wants the songs to be rather short to be more profitable, but if you see them life, they play lutes, bagpipes, violins etc and stretch the song to be twice as long as the studio version. Here is an example to one of their songs about a child that grows up in solitude without friends or a living family. th-cam.com/video/BQJYwJKbrlg/w-d-xo.html
As I've been listening more and more to famous songs that get popular due to "that one segment", I've started humming and recalling other parts. This segment that you point out is perhaps my favorite from this piece.
I saw a Russian ballerina dancing to this section in an old film. She so embodied the music I haven't forgotten it altho I have forgotten her name! It was absolutely lovely to see. Ethereal.
@@smxkerings7678 I agree, in every single human civilization there is many forms of music, it is one thing that universally connects us all no matter the background.
Music is a universal language, doesn't matter if you speak English, Norwegian, or Spanish. Words will sound different to you but music is the same to all people
Am I the only one that thoroughly enjoys watching the conductor during orchestral performances? They always seem to emote the song's tone with their motions in a captivating way.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!🎉 After years of searching I've found the piece I heard once and never knew the title, I've found it. The melody of the brass and violins have haunted my ADHD brain at night. Couldn't sleep or do anything once my brain reminded me that I didn't know the title to that one melody yet! OMG I'm so happy to have found it!!!!!!!!! My conductor had no clue what I was humming and describing to him😅
I know this feeling ! I am so happy for you ! Thanks to technology, i too am discovering the symphonies whose fragments of music that dwell in my memory !
What happened to the music, poetry even cinematography? Why nobody can produce this type of music any more? Pick in 18,17,19 n very early 20th century. After that slowly but surely "we" started losing it
I prefer this slower, but the trombones are so good in this, particularly the bass trombone, that I can't not love it! Kudos to bass trombone extraordinaire!!!
Indigo Bone I agree! He (the bass trombonist you seem to enjoy the performance of) has a masterclass, you know. You can view it here: th-cam.com/video/-JKF526GGzc/w-d-xo.html
Yes - me too - listen to Chung conducting LSO here on YT Not only the tempo in the first 2 bars is all over the show. It seems the orchestra was expecting a slower tempo in the first bar then all of a sudden Gergiev pushes the tempo and the second bar is much faster. Either they rehearsed it at a slower tempo or they didnt rehearse it all
This symphony is such a masterpiece. I'll never get tired of it. Goosebumps every time I listen to it. Edit: English isn't my first language and I used the incorrect term "song" to refer to this masterpiece. And since people seem to be offended by that I edited it now. I hope you're all happy. ✌🏻
That sounded absolutely beautiful, especially in the low brass. I would've loved to hear some more bass clarinet, but that's more just my personal taste. A fantastic performance for a fantastic piece.
Jan III Sobieski my favourite thing about this piece is that the lower brass section pranked the conductor by playing Star Wars imperial march in another video
I have been searching for this song for years, everyone in my life never knew what this was called or what it was, neither did Google, so I just crazy till now
"Музыка должна высекать огонь из души человека", - как говорил Бетховен. Тут высекается не только огонь, а рождается новая душа. Светлая, прекрасная. Прокофьев, безусловно, полубог. Гергиев - его пророк...
I would venture to guess that every Russian soul has some of this masterpiece in their hearts. It has all the ingredients of being Slavic in Eastern Europe. Passion/ Culture/ Diffent mood swing for all seasons/ And best of all it typifies the best in classical music from this part of the world in my humble opinion. A classic to stand all time.
Only Prokofiev can create something like this!!! Children loves it, and adults love it too. The majestetic combination of simplicity and deep music in the same composing!
C'était justement ce que je cherchais, en voulant illustrer Leos Janack qui disait qu'il a été inspiré par le grand Prokofieff. Cet instant fameux du fameux ballet illustre bien la filiation Russe-Tchèque.
Ella Blun you don't think two young people who'd rather end their lives (mistakenly) than live without each other is a love story? Tragic, granted. But their devotion is undeniable.
So dramatic and powerful! The faster tempo gives it that push that it needs. Gergiev’s style of conducting is also very unique and efficient, it in itself adds a lot to the performance as well.
Ouch, those Russians! :)) I think that Western music has more order, system, school, and mind while Russian music has more melodies, emotions, expression, and soul. P.S. I'm Russian :)
Prokoviev, Tschaikowski, Rachmaninoff, Mussorgski, Schostakovitsch, Borodin,... just to name a few, but: Imho, their compositions always had and have a very special aura for me... Btw, many thanks for Your always excellent uploads, LSO!
Gave me goosebumps fist time I heard it. This is magical. It has so many amazing elements to it. I love the combination of aggressiveness and calm and serene. It's so chaotic in a good way. I am absolutely in love. I can't stop listening to this piece.
ZETH _27 I can relate, when one thinks how hard it is to get into a job like his. How long one has to struggle to get near something like that. Compared to his struggle, mine is almost a trip in a cushioned box.

I disagree I really like the end where the tuba blasts out of nowhere
It’s both the Trombones and the Tuba

Bro, that's your favorite part just becouse the imperial march fits in there. XD

You are correct❤ it!
Classical music can be very aggressive to a point that no other kind of music can do.
Maybe some metal music comes close
Metal
i was about to say metal but then i looked at the replies
That is because of the strong contrast of the high violins and deep bass horns im combination with the heavy drum sounds and the thunderous cymbals. Even the most ambitious guitarists can only visualize their emotions in the range their instrument can play. That is why some metal bands combine classical music and instruments with modern elements and styles.
Also most modern bands don't really take the time it needs to create the right mood and build an Athmosphere. Therefore mostly the emotional ranges of the songs are minimal. A good example for a band taking its time to bring emotion across would be the german gothic band "subway to sally". On their CDs they are rather mediocre because of the record label wants the songs to be rather short to be more profitable, but if you see them life, they play lutes, bagpipes, violins etc and stretch the song to be twice as long as the studio version. Here is an example to one of their songs about a child that grows up in solitude without friends or a living family. th-cam.com/video/BQJYwJKbrlg/w-d-xo.html

It's amazing how musicians speak many different languages across the world, yet all musicians can read the same kind of music.
in a way, music as a whole acts as a universal language, which is beautiful and very deep when you think about it
@@smxkerings7678 I agree, in every single human civilization there is many forms of music, it is one thing that universally connects us all no matter the background.
@@smxkerings7678 So does the math.
This is probably my favourite classical piece.
Music is a universal language, doesn't matter if you speak English, Norwegian, or Spanish. Words will sound different to you but music is the same to all people
I dont think you will feel the same listening to, for example, Sviridov's "Troika" or something as Russian people will
actually somewhat.. but there are other factors like culture for one. in how the music is played
Except if you're deaf
Not if you’re deaf

The solo fading into the full orchestra playing again is brilliant at 4:54 !

No, you're not the only one.
Watching the conductor and the musicians adds greatly to to event.
Certainly not. Conductor is another important layer in the music piece.

One of the most versatile pieces of music ever created. My absolute favourite.
Listening to the entire 10-hour version of this has completely changed myself.
So dramatic and powerful! The faster tempo gives it that push that it needs. Gergiev’s style of conducting is also very unique and efficient, it in itself adds a lot to the performance as well.
"music should strike fire from the heart of man and bring tears to the eyes of woman" [and vice versa] rightfully said beethoven👏🏾👏🏾
The night Prokofiev died, Stalin died too. Shame, nobody took notice of such a briliant composer that night.
Unfortunately, we human beings remember more tyrants than good people.

Almost feel as if John Williams may have been inspired by this piece when writing Vader's Imperial March. Many similarities. Food for thought...
This is a pattern, too. Need I mention Dvorak's New World Symphony Movement 4 and the Jaws theme?
Actually, John Williams kind of had to rip off a lot of classical music for the Star Wars soundtrack. George Lucas originally chose some specific classical songs for the soundtrack (I don’t remember which) because of Kubrick’s 2001, but later on he decided to have Williams compose it because he really liked the Jaws soundtrack. However, as the scenes were made with the classical soundtrack in mind, Williams had to compose similar sounding songs for the soundtrack.
Listen to Mahler 6 conducted by Sir John Barbirolli and you have the inspiration for all the Darth Vader themes.
Williams was also heavily inspired by Gustav Holst's The Planets for Star Wars.
Yes, at 1:13

I loved once I heard it for my first time, I told my wife this act is incredibl, later, I recognised that almost everyone listen to it felt the same, it is fabulous.😍
Whaou quelle émotion...quelle rigueur! Heureux de voir le 10 millions de vues...c'est bon signe pour l'avenir de l'humanité.
5:03 is amazing😮 it has so much power and emotion 🎉
I found it!!! Literally watched this years ago and randomly wanted to find it again. Not a classical music person but I love this song
I can't find the words to describe just how beautiful and carthatic this piece was to me as I had my first listen. From beginning to end, I was hooked. What a spectacular journey this took me through! I cried, and sobbed a little, just from listening!
