Every single Easter since we were small children, our parents would us wake up with this! Mum passed in '97, Dad in '17, and now the grandchildren do the same. Pure Joy! ❤️🙏❤️
That is amazing! What a great tradition. Maybe i'll start doing that!
What a wonderful way to wake up on Easter Sunday! One of my favorite pieces....
I usually play it sometime Easter morning
preparing a chocolate milk has never been so profund
Rimsky-Korsakov is underrated among classical music composers as he composed from his good, strong Russian heart. Russian Easter Overture takes one on a journey of reverence. faith and happiness. Fabulous!!
The greatest gift the Russians ever gave to the world was their composers. Plus my mom!
Plus Vladimir Putin.
@@nemanjaras Vladimir Putin is another scourge of the Russian people.
Rusians + Music = A Good Thing
it is interesting that in Russian the concepts "world" and "peace" are denoted by one word - "мир (mir)".
And when Russians say “Любовь правит миром (Love rules the peace/world)” or “Красота спасёт мир (Beauty will save the world/peace)”, then they always mean both meanings of this word in their minds =)
@@Yekaboka Not certainly in that way - before 1917 we had two worlds - "мир" and "мiр" - sonds the same, but diffrent meanings.
“Hi, this is Johnathan Pageau, and welcome to the symbolic world.”
👍🏻🌺👏🏻
Ohh "I got that reference"
"Hi, dit is het Adriaankindje; welkom tot mijn wereldje :)"
Robin Kok Hi, dit is Robje uit het Noord-Macedonische Skopje, en welkom tot mijn onderdanigheid aan de waarheid. JA VLERK, JE LEEST HET GOED!
00:05 - 00:30 : zo smeert het Sanderkindje een sandwich!
No one who listens to this piece can doubt the emotional power of classical music.
One of the world's greatest composers, and very possibly THE greatest orchestrator of all time.
Well, Ravel and Respighi also were really great (hmm, rare but actually I am Russian, hmm!😅 True!)
I just love Russian music.
Thank you❤
Jonathan Pageau sent me here
this music is so evocative....the priests chanting, the congregation responding, the birds singing, the sun rising....all the things that happen on Easter morning so beautifully captured in this piece of music!
This is a most wonderful summary of a most wonderful liturgical celebration. The Orthodox Church has the best understanding and the best theology of Easter or, more properly, Pascha.
@@Starward-I know that I'm replying to an old vomment, but I think Russian Easter joy, light, happiness can be explained by our weather. The cold long winter us over and you survived it. Pure joy)
I literally burned all the food and got distracted on this
12:00 to the end is perfect music for outdoor Easter Sunrise Services, finishing right at sunrise.
Written in 1887-88, the overture premiered in late December 1888 in St. Petersburg. As triumphant as any Russian music could possibly be.
I thank my father for having a boxed set of 12 classical records in our house. I started listening to them when I was about 10 years old. From them I was introduced to Rimsky Korsakov and the "basic 20 great composers." That early foundation served me well later in life.
Dear Noe, same here Sir. My first exposure to classical music was when I was 12 and I have been a fan of that genre ever since. Best Wishes during this Holiday Season!
***** Thanks for the good wishes.
We have much to be thankful for.
+Noe Berengena Who were the other 19?
+Omar Esquinca -- I used quotation marks because there is no general agreement about who the 20 great composers are. But the other 19 in this boxed set were: Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Bizet, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Johann Strauss, Richard Strauss, Liszt, Cesar Franck, Schubert, Schumann, Stravinsky, Wagner, Rossini, Dvorak, Brahms and Mendelssohn. Obviously there are many more great composers. But this was a place for a young lad to start. I just realized that Sibelius was also in the set (Finlandia and Swan of Tuonela).
+Noe Berengena Thank you! I was just curious. But, yes it is a great place to start as a child with such a selection. I think those kind of compilations work very well for anyone. Painting and literature complitations also apply.
I have asleep at my feet, a small terrier who has the best life a dog could ask for, a human that caters to his every whim, etc. While he has this great situation he lacks the capability to appreciate the wonders of the Russian composers as well as other Slavic talents as well as the drive of performers to take the music from paper to sound with skill and passion. His passion is to chase the cats out of his yard. I am so grateful to be a cognitive human and able to rise above the opportunistic life of animals. I am also gratefull for the passionate skillful people whose creativity sparks my passions.
This music is Ethereal. A gift from the Gods
Thank you Rimsky-Korsakov
@geoffreyjohnston6483 -
Well said - thank you.
I discovered this masterpiece because of Jonathan Pageau and i love it! Looking forward to Easter to play this all day long. My neighbors will love it as well!
Russian’s music stands among the greatest of all time.
he he he ha
Indeed.
It's by far my favorite style of timpani to perform.
All Russian composers seem to have more passion than others.
Great brass here! Great tuba player !!!
Ha! More than Beethoven? Mozart? Give me a break. I love the music of several Russian composers but bringing nationalism into any conversation about music is illogical.
@roberthill799 it has nothing to do with nationalism. It s to do with time. U can't compare Beethoven Bach with Tchaikovsky or Rimsky-Korsakov. Totally different music forms.
Aside from comparisons, Russian composers have a passion in their music that draws me too. I love this piece!
Fell in love with Russian Easter Overture many years ago, and keep coming back to it. It's one of the best compositions, and the St. Louis Orchestra is one of the best. Thank you for featuring this inspiring and passionate music.
Leonard Slatkin surely hits the mark with this splendid recording of the Russian Easter Overture. All the passion and reverence is here plus very fine recorded sound of Rimsky's superlative orchestration.
This is the piece that turned me on to classical music, that was over 50 years ago and every time I hear this it sounds just like the first time, I could never get tired of this.
it was one of my favorites when I was a small boy.
Those trombone solos are canticles from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. There is a very old RCA recording of this piece conducted by Stokowsky in which those passages are sung hauntingly by a Russian bass-baritone vocalist.
That is the Paschal Troparion.
Христос воскресе из мертвых, / смертию смерть поправ / и сущим во гробех живот даровав!
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!
смертию смерть поправ / и сущим во гробех живот даровав
эта тем присутствует!!!!!!
They call that guy who sings so low, sometimes solo, an Octavist. Generally able to sing in the range an octave below the normal Bass-Baritone register. Impressive!
One of the most underrated composers ever, as his student Respighi
You're kidding, right? It's like saying the same about Grieg or Liszt😅 Now, Mussorgsky was quite underrated in his time, but that too passed since 1900-1910s. Composers from the "Mighty Handful" are ones of the most famous in the world.
@@charmswordmost famous in the world? In which world you live? In the one I live in, almost nobody knows about Rimsky Korsakov. Usual people (not musicians) knows something about Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and that's all...
@classicalmusicat432hz I live in Russia and we know him. They still teach music theory with his book Практическое пособие по гармонии (Practical book on harmony). I guess, I translated it in a wrong way, though
@@elenahalcyon5775 Yes, I know It, but I find the way he explain concepts a bit too much complicated... There are many Harmony manuals that are way easier to understand 😁
@classicalmusicat432hz well, the Russian ed has been reviewed many times and I guess it's much easier now. I'm not a musician and can't judge it but they still used it in music colleges.
And Shaherezade ballet is still staged, Sadko is still staged, but, again, I'm talking about Russia
Easter is absolutely joyous in Russia, another painful winter is over, the advent of spring promises hope. (My Russian mother was clear about the history of Easter in Russia.)
This sounds like the opening line to a great novel.
Yeah, the only Indian lore I got was about my grandmother, not my mom
This has to be there among the most powerful compositions ever
It's on the short list. I have to put it just behind Dvorak's Stabat Mater and Rachmaninoff's Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.
and deutsches requiem - brahms, and 1812 - tchaikovsky
and pictures at an exhibition
It's been in my top 10 classical pieces since the first time I heard it.
Excellent combination of composer's mind and his nationality.
The artwork is "Russian Easter" by Nicholas Roerich.
Thank you!
This is one of my favorite russian musical works.
The Nicholas Roerich museum is at 319 West 107th Street New York NY, close to Riverside Drive .In that area he had a large art deco apartment building for an art colony. His style is mostly a type of mysticism with paintings in areas near the Himalayas. www.roerich.org/
Thank you so much!
It is beautiful, I wish I had it in my house.
Possibly my favorite piece of music all time. So devout and inspirational.
Rimsky-Korsakov should be estimated more.He is real genius ,no less great than Tchaikovsky.
No less great? Rimsky-Korsakov is WELL beyond Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky had a gift for melodies, and was a good arranger, but Rimsky-Korsakov could take you far away and pull your emotions into deep places that make other seem shallow in comparison.
I would say a little less. I still like Tchaikovsky a little more. But for sure Rimsky-Korsakov is under appreciated and a musical genius
I love his work.
I love his work.
I find some of Tchaikovsky's pieces too maudlin really.
This songs tickles my brain in all the right ways
The last part with the trombone chorus always gives me goosebumps!
me too
Me too!!
That's the part that is the Pascha theme (Tropar) " Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life" !
Honestly same. Looking at the Violin music for that part just makes chills run up anddown my spine lol
Me too!
Amazing I’m playing this right now. How could 25 idiots dislike this. But the ration of likes to dislikes is inbeleiviblle
The thing I love best about Rimsky-Korsakov's music is that it really challenges the orchestra. Almost every section has a solo for the lead player. This piece in particular has a major trombone solo. I'm not a fan of that instrument, but I really love it here.
That must be the part I mentioned
Not a fan of trombone!? Get out.
You should see the Double Bass part. Nothing ever challenges us - especially Toscanini.
It’s a fairly easy solo though. Very pretty, but any player who has good tone/ears and rhythm will be able to play it well no problem.
Stokowski's 1940 recording with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, on RCA Victor, he substituted a solo bass voice for the trombone. Unfortunately, he shortened the end a few measures (the solo bass voice on this one recording only; the changed ending was on all of his recordings).
I often played this at Easter!
Me too 😊
Played this in high school. Hard to find words to describe it other than beautiful. Love the tremolo and the pizzicato throughout and how it builds up into a heroic crescendo of awesome
this gives me chills.
Yes definitely
I heard this today and cried so beautiful.
This is one of the greatest pieces I have had the privileged to play. We did this in Regional Orchestra in eastern PA in 2002ish.
Same but for us was in 2013ish
What section?
I played this in college...it is truly beautiful. I'm a violin and some of it was pretty difficult 😂
Central nj played this is 2023
This literally took my breath away! So gorgeous! It makes me wish I was in St. Petersburg...
One of the first pieces of music my father introduced me to in childhood!
This music is just amazing!
Very uplifting music to the glory of Our Saviour Jesus Christ!
Indeed! ❤
Actually, Rimski-Korsakov was an atheist, and this overture is his tribute to very ancient Slavic pagan traditions.
Amen
An elegantly written celebration piece, which is one of the masterworks of Rimsky-Korsakov.
Happy Easter 2024
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered!
I'll bet you are just a joy to be around
Let those who hate Him flee from before His face!
Oh, cut it out!
@@ltlarrow1 It's a quotation from a psalm .
@@bronxboy47 Psalm 117?
this is one of the most beautiful piece's of music ever written by RIMSKY-KORSAKOV. love it , AND ZUBIN MEHTA , great conductor. OF OUR TIME
Ouvi essa peça pela primeira vez há sessenta anos. Ela nos transporta a uma época e ao povo da época. É difícil não se emocionar com ela. É impactante, de uma sonoridade de um grande mestre. Um arranjo magnífico.
Easter is a major holiday in the Orthodox Church because of their strict lent. They can actually eat all they want. This music depicts of the spirit that is Russian Easter. It is a revelation. To me this music is truly inspirational. Its use the melodies of the Russian Easter Liturgy is awesome.
+Koloth2000 Very true sir. We fast for 7 weeks, then proceed to feast on Easter Sunday, or Pascha.
Easter (Pascha in Russian) is a major holiday for the Orthodox because it signifies the resurrection of Christ. It's the feast of feasts, holy days of holy days
I assume there is big Easter fast,and after taking the communion person can eat all sorts of food….
It’s like this in the Serbian Orthodox tradition which is very similar to the Russian
Rimsky-Korsakov is very formidable!!
Magnificent music! Right up there with Rimsky's "Procession of the Nobles"!
Great piece by a great composer
¡Qué clase de obra! La orquestación es ABSOLUTAMENTE genial. ¡Me consta! ¿Es otro genio de la música clásica?
I put this on my workout Playlist and now I'm shivering
I can relate. To the shivering part, that is. Not so much the workout part.
Sounds like something would play in the beginning and/or end credits of an incredibly awesome movie.
And tomorrow is Palm Sunday, once again, a holy week begins.
Remarquable travail d'orchestre; justesse d'ensemble hallucinante.
The chord progression at 13:51 is one of the pinnacles of music in my estimation.
Christ is risen from the dead,
trampling down death by death.
And upon those in the tombs
bestowing life.
Christ is risen!
Indeed he is risen!
what?
Korsakov was a Russian Orthodox Christian - this piece has elements from the music we use in the Orthodox Pascha (Easter) service. A version of Xristos Voskrese (Russian "Christ is Risen") is included in here. You can hear it at 11:16 and 12:33.
The words to this ancient hymn (6th century) are what Stephen Clarke posted above.
AedinCinema Korsakov was an atheist, but you are correct on the rest.
Your "Christ"--if there ever was one "Christ"--was a narcissistic con artist who was full of shit, as the residents of his own village knew.
still, we die. still there is no peace. still does man ignore the gospels and yet goes to church
The 1st theme is the hymn, "Let God Arise, let his enemies be scattered, let those who hate Him flee from before his face!
This is such a moving peice! I listened to it last night being performed at our local college and it was astonding. I just had to listen to it again.
he's so good in his melodies, love to listen
This is NOT Zubin Mehta! I bought this CD years ago and it is indeed Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. It's a high quality Telarc recording too. A great performance and recording like this needs to be played on a good stereo system. TH-cam can't do justice to this recording.
Also presened to me by my father by a box collection of vynil when I was almost 8 years old, Korsakow was my preferred listened long years. His Easter Russian wondered my hours.....
Truly Inspired and Spiritually graceful. A real work of the finest musical kind and a gift to those who listen with open minds and loving hearts. One of the best pieces of music ever composed.
Estremecido con tremenda obra de arte!!! Espectacular!!!
Marvelous performance. Magnificent. Just as it would sound in the Czar's Russia.
I've played this before. It's amazingly fun to play! I love the simple, yet captivating arpeggio theme.
Simplemente fantástico
Such a clear joyful rendition! Lovely. Great team orchestra work (brass are splendid but all are!)
Almost unbearably beautiful. What a glorious composition.
Beautiful music.
If you love this you should hear the original Telarc LP from 1978 of this performance. Slatkin pushes where he MUST! You can feel his passion for this piece. It is overpowering, as music should be. As Harry Pearson once said, music is a spiriyual experience.
spiritual
Rimsky-Korsakov palyed a very important role in my musical life in my early teens. The Russian Easter is special to me.
Ten ten-ten-ten ten-ten-ten ten-ten-ten ten ten. This beautiful line reminds me of the intro to Rachmaninoff’s etude tableux op 33 no (4 or 5) in D minor. Love it!!!
Я не понимаю,что,русские не слушают,эту чудесную музыку или дыхание спёрло от восторга?
Ребята?!
4%,Воронеж.
Конечно слушаем. Санкт- Петербург.
Просто молча. Москва
I listen in memory of my father 💗
Thank you WMHT for playing this triumphant song!
Orquestrador de primeira, cada passagem uma lição, um jogo de timbres; além da beleza dos temas russos. Música é invenção que conduz o espírito numa viagem prazerosa.
O maior compositor russo de todos os tempos
God I love this music.
JPGold.
Happy Orthodox Easter!
Russian music, literature, culture, women, SAMBO and unbreakable spirit makes us to be proud of being who we are...💪🇷🇺
You ignore the murder more Ukranian children, the slaughter at Kotyn forest, etc, etc. Just a bunch of animals.
Exciting performance. Slatkin is a top notch conductor and a really decent guy!
Goosebumps!
beautiful.
Absolutely lovely piece!
Eastern Orthodox Easter celebration of Easter. Easter has a way different meaning to me. Creation is just about beginnings. But as Paul Harvey use to say in his radio commentary about news of the day: Now, for the Rest of the Story!
Going to hear this and Pictures At An Exhibition at the Sidney Opera House! Reminds me of Vaughn Williams.
boy did he write some great stuff. I read he was an agnostic, but he was so revered by the British that he is buried @ Winchester Cathedral....
Who gives dislikes to music like this ?
CapsLockinger Philistines
Only the deaf
People who didn't like it. It's not rocket science.
It was rhetorical
People who don't like 4 and a half minutes of exposition.
It's so fun to play Korsakov as a first clarinet player
a supernatural sound to be shared
I've used this as a lullaby and to calm down my kids when they're angry for the past 7 years. I've loved this piece since childhood. Thank you so much for uploading it, so I can pass it on to the next generation!
Amo a.Rimsky
Masterpiece!!!
remarkable performance....along with Matacic
Que lindo.🤗
undoubtedly a work of genius.
One of my favorites ❤
Such a powerful beautiful piece
I was born on Easter and I don't remember any of this! Thank you winkle for marvelous music.
este concierto es maravilloso,!!!!
