I think the conductor has successfully taken us beyond the real into the surreal, as Offenbach would have wanted - well done, to the conductor.
You have to love how everyone looks so happy during the cancan section.
I love the little smile on the violinist's face at 7:45.
@@courtneysimpson88 No one is having more fun than the conductor
Especially the guy with the triangle. 7.05 was his time to shine.
That's the music of the burlesque Can Can dance.
Always brings a smile to my face.
I absolutely love how the conductor is so happy and into what he's doing
Thats the best part of these videos, is watching the Maestros conducting the music.
I agree... you should love what you’re doing.. this piece should bring a smile to everyone’s face😀❤️
Music Brilliant the Conductor is the Cherry on Top of the Icing on Top of the Cake
O
7:37 is so cute!
That conductor, he is a very cool dude.
Great
The epic conductor
Absolutely I fully agree.. does his job so well...

hell must be the happiest place ever with music like this
Estou cómple
g
Orpheus went to get his loved one out but then it all went wrong; but Offenbach could make almost anything fun!
Gdziekolwiek był Orfeusz muzyka na pewno nie oddaje atmosfery, tego miejsca , no chyba , że to bajka.
Cant be worse than the one were in.
@@msjanegrey 100% edge
That kid at 7:38 is so eager it always makes me smile. Smash those cymbals, young man, you're on top of the world!
the life of a percussionist... being awesome!
yea, 7:00 is where the fun starts
Enthusiasm is contagious.
One could almost feel & see the definition of the word “Phew” from that pretty & passionate oboist chick when finishing her solo @ 1:43.
my 20 person viola section got drowned out by the cymbals
Musica e orchestra Meravugliosi!!!
This is the best rendition of Orpheus available.
Favourite moment is at 8:31 when you see the conductor realise that this entire thing will just keep on happening no matter what he does. I swear he shrugs.
+allurrennvotur I think it's sweet how happy he looks while he's conducting.
It is fantastic! He realises that the enthusiasm of the orchestra is such that there is nothing he could do to hold them back! Seriously though I think that he and the orchestra do a great job!
@@minatsukidw6473 especially when he starts getting into the Rythm and almost dancing, you can tell it's the best times he's had in a while, this whole video is so wholesome when you pay attention to the people in it
First chairs could technically lead the whole thing which I would love to see with this song
What appeared to me is that he isn't just conducting with his arms. He's shrugging in time with the music and bouncing on his feet and singing to himself he enjoys it so much.
Huh, the underworld is surprisingly jolly.
Esp since they added the Can Can dancers
It's because of Orpheus, it has to do with the Greek mythology
Eurydice refused to leave it was so awesome
@@djanitatiana that's not true. She was gonna leave with Orpheus but he turned back and looked and she was trapped there forever
@@grognorg If you believe the Offenbach version she was not really happy about leaving with Orpheus.
I’ve been watching this video for seven years and honestly my favorite part is still watching the conductor.
2:51
2:51
That clarinet solo at 0:54 had me screaming in pride. I hope she's doing well
So do we all! A real artist!
Such nice low tones too.
The second trill sounded off to me, like I remember it having a more minor tonality and it sounded bright and major here.
@@isidoreaerys8745I think it could be either G or Gb there, since the trill doesn't have a flat and the key signature is still 2 flats (1 sharp concert)
Its nice to see young persons playing this kind of music. There is hope classical music won't die.
***** You say that as if rap is a bad musical genre.
Lunam Gallus No genre is "bad", but almost every #1 rap song in the past 15 years has been incredibly lazy. That's a fact. Now my OPINION is that rap is, indeed bad. But that is contrary to the fact.
MisterBigBlunts I mean, if you keep looking at the charts and what the biggest hits have been, of course you're only going to find bad stuff. You need to look for the good stuff, as you need to do for pop, rock, and everything else. Also, that's not a fact.
Lunam Gallus The main thing wrong here is the second half of your first sentence: "of course you're only going to find bad stuff." This was not the case from the 1970s going well back to the 1660s. Why is this ok now, when for the previous 300+ years of printed/recorded music, this wasn't the case? What music do we learn about in our history books? The #1 hits. Mozart was like the Lil Wayne of his day. Bach was the Drake of the 1700s, Liszt even had screaming fans that would go hysterical when he walked in the room, known as "Lisztomania" which was similar to "Beatlemania". Do you think that in 100 years anyone is going to be talking about Brotha Lynch and Immortal Technique? No, they are going to be talking about Lil Wayne and Drake. And this is why rap sucks. Because it should have stayed as an underground thing and not blown into the mainstream for producers to make puppets out of actors.
MisterBigBlunts It's not okay, but it's what the people like today. Times change, and so do people's tastes. Also, those won't be the only people remembered. There are many great rappers who are still making music, releasing it, and getting the recognition that they deserve on the charts. Wu Tang released an album not a year ago, and it was great. We're going to be learning about them and every other good rapper who made it and is making music that the people like, as well as Drake and Lil Wayne
It is hardly to believe that it is a school orchestra. The violinist is extraordinary!
Tadeusz Brukwicki wow
More impressed with the triangle player
This looks like a youth orchestra, but not a school orchestra!
The Gimnazija Kranj Symphony is not a school orchestra. It is a semi professional orchestra associated with and sponsored by a school, containing a mix of professional and youth musicians. Some of these are indeed very talented kids from schools. Others are professional musician graduates of music schools. I believe that the only specification for membership (besides great musicianship) is that you must still be considered a "Youth". (broadly speaking that is)!
@@imapaine-diaz4451 everything you said is correct. Greetings from concert director.
Wonderful good music. Bravo merci beaucoup.
I FOUND IT. THE PIECE THAT HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR LITERAL Y E A R S.
Same here
Dude it's can can, you really didn't know it?
Bruh, only partly
Simply OUTSTANDING! I am a music educator over nearly 30 years and this is really well-played! Loving the expressions on the conductor's but also the intensity of the young kids! GREAT JOB!!!
Love how the conductor doesn't allow the young folks' exuberance to get out of control, reining in the volume of different sections when neccessary.
To me this is one of the greatest classical pieces ever.
From those of us whose ignorance of classical music is surpassed only by their love of it, GRATITUDE for showing us which instruments are producing which particular sounds.
Bravissimo il primo violino, la solista oboe, la solista violoncellista, bravi tutti i solisti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am very proud to be a french fellow with this kind of music
"Because you have the most marvellous youth, and youth is the one thing worth having". O. Wilde
"Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children." - George Bernard Shaw
Andrea Brizzi 👏
What a Fiddler, no spoof!
Can’t believe he wrote the invincibility theme for Super Mario Land. Such an iconic game.
Father got me this on a classical compilation LP. Got into it very quickly and it's now one of my favourites.
I just love this Especially the conductor who is just dying to dance with the music! He makes it even more fun!
By far the best rendition I have heard in 70 years.
the smile on conductor's face was all worth it
I love the sigh of relief when the young lady playing the oboe finishes her solo. Like she had anything to worry about. She's really really good. And that Bassoon player is pretty darned awesome too. I'd buy this on DVD if it was available. Along with most if not all their other music. All their soloists are superb. I need to mention that guy playing violin, as good as any violinist I've ever heard. OMG, The dour looking guy in percussion is even smiling during the "can can". Wow!
I lost the time of how many times I have watched, so beautiful!❤
Jacques Offenbach est un des plus grands musiciens français.
L'interprétation de cette ouverture iconique et qui fabrique à elle seule l'image indémodable de Paris et du Moulin Rouge est ici très réussie.
Sonorités magnifiques.
Happy 200th birthday Jacques Offenbach. You are being heard today and will be heard forever.
Magnifique OFFENBACH ! Bravo l'orchestre ! + le conducteur ! viva French Cancan !
Played this 22 years ago, and I can still play Trumpet 1 from memory. Very few pieces had that effect on me.
Beautiful- enjoyed every second listening to these talented musicians and watching the brilliant conductor- thank you!
I love this orchestra! Wonderful job, great energy. Awesome!
Happy 200th Birthday Jacques Offenbach. Your music has made the world a happier place. Thanks to you even hell is a merry eternity.
Around 8:55, you can almost hear the conductor thinking, "Guyyyyyyys, you're nailng it!!! You're nailing it!!! I'm so proud of youuuuuuu!"
It is thrilling having a conductor give you that look as you approach the end of a performance. Yes, it is a break in focusing only on the music to focus on each other experiencing the music, but to me, isn't that the point?
I love to see how many young people come together to play classical music. I can see how much fun everyone has and that makes me smile too.
Hervorragend
Großartiger Dirigent
you know that feeling when you learn the name of an instrumental song you knew forever?
What I like is the great chemistry between the conductor and the orchestra... Congrats to all
I only hope, they know how much JOY they give to us with this BRILLIANT performance!
MANY, MANY THANKS,!🌹🥂🌹🥂🌹💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆
I've watched this, start to finish, twenty times at least. Everything about this performance is perfect: The orchestration. The musicianship. The enthusiasm. Even the camera work and editing. The only part I can't understand is why the audience did not leap to their feet at the conclusion.
I'm right there with 'ya on everything you've said.
Audiences are funny critturs. Some are just introverted and unable to express themselves openly. I'm reminded of watching the Calgary Stampede parade, and they whooped and holered like crazy, byt the wathcers did just that, watched on in near total silence. Funny critturs, as I say.
One of my favorites since 1951.
Mine too,
althoug born 1967...
😇🎶❤🎶😎
Long life to all that give so much enjoyment musically
I love Offenbach so a big thank you to the wonderful orchestra and conductor for playing this overture. Simply gorgeous!
I love conductor Nejc Bečan. Most conductors I find impossible to understand. Nejc Bečan talks directly into my head! Bravo!
le premier violon ......... C'est le diable en personne !!!!!! Ce sourcil levé ce petit sourire en coin .....Sublime interprétation !!!!
This touched my heart and soul in so many ways. I wept tears of joy.
Because of the internets love for using classical music for memes, not only are younger generations like myself appreciating and recognizing the compositional masterpieces of classic music, but the triangle instrument is now a sign of impending chaos!
It's not just internet memes. Classical music pieces are used everywhere, in cartoons, movies, TV shows. I grew up listening to many of these in shows like Tom and Jerry. Years later I found out where they were from.
I am so amazed at the quality of the young people in this orchestra! I live near Palm Springs in California and I am consistently watching this orchestra on the other side of the world. There's nothing better in between!
Che bellezza vedere e ascoltare le note dei giovani..un mondo di entusiasmo!!! ❤❤❤
It's nice to see so many young people take an interest in cultural activities instead of wasting time on video games, drugs n other garbage. Even though this was 10 yrs ago.
Was für ein wunderbares Orchester, und der Dirigent einmalig, der erste Dirigent bei dem man die Leidenschaft zu seinem Beruf endlich mal erkennt. Ich habe mir alle verfügbaren Stücke angesehen, und hoffe dieses Orchester besteht noch sehr lange.
Great conductor. I like the way he made sure his orchestra stood for recognition before he bowed.
Offenbach: "I'm going to write the most tragic "comic" opera possible, with a libretto about a desperate lover descending to hell to search for his loved one"
A French cabaret owner: "Hey girls! The party music we were looking for!
That is simply superb! Sans pareil. Most definitely in my choices for Desert Island Discs.
Great jumping jack music from where the "can can" actually starts-about 7:36 to the end! Amazing rendition! I used to dance to this as a kid and now at 71 am "dancing" to it again!
Perhaps this kan kan will be interesting too th-cam.com/video/o4sBjfVpBcI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ZHZOXgS9ON0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/AJ7yveFDewY/w-d-xo.html

Feels so good when this song finally explodes in climax at the end! Such a build up :)
Best CONDUCTOR 💥💥🔥🔥 THIS IS THE BEST 💞💞💞MUSIC MUST WATCH WORTH IT
I usually write my comments in Spanish, but this time, I'll make an exception. I have seen several of your videos, and I love all of them. This is the kind of music that I enjoy soo much. Keep up your excellent work, it brings peace to my soul, congratulations!!!
Hibike! Euphonium made me watch this.
Cj Vaans Hahaha i came here cause of that also!
LoL me too😆
Cj Vaans Well, I already knew the song but Hibike Euphonium reminded me of how nice it was :3

Bravo, Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra ❤️.. Godfather waltz.
Waltz?
Wow, the clarinet solo ist wonderful, gratulation at the young lady!
We’re playing a shorter version on this song in eighth grade. I’m the clarinet soloist, our concert is in December. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
Dude playing the cymbals during the Can-Can part was having the time of his life!
OUTSTANDING!!!
I love the conductor!!!
I love the orchestra!!!
Unbounded JOY and every time I see-hear this piece, my receding hair rises up on end. I LOVE this !
Every time I hear this orchestra it's better
I'm playing this piece in a community band right now. I'm a freshman in highschool, so my chair isn't high, but I hope I can play the clarinet solo in this someday. The whole slow section with the cello, flute, oboe and clarinet solos is so beautiful.
I hope you kept it up!
Have you completed your wish?
This video never gets old. It reminds me of my days in Wind Ensemble. What an amazing group of musicians.
great seeing youth orchestra hav fun 🙂
This conductor is so good that he can conduct and play the violin solo at the same time. Great man.
Another fantastic performance by an orchestra that says,YES!...Classical music is here to stay and be loved and enjoyed by children of ALL ages,when played with such youthfully energy,conducted with such passion,and enjoyed with such relish by knowledgeable and appreciative audiences!Big THANK YOU to all for this gift of a musical experience...😀
Loved it, loved it, loved it! Beautiful work!
OOOH DE a karmester is fantasztikus!!!!!!!!....OFFENBACH ....ajaj a régi szerzok ...csoda emberek voltak!!!
Everybody is having a good time! Excellent orchestra.
Damn, I don’t know how I lately discovered this pearl despite I’m addicted to the classical music, this masterpiece should be saved for the next generations ❤️
Gee loved the soloists especially the violinist. such a beautiful piece of music and so well played. Bravo!
Perfect. Just Perfect 😮

The conductor really love his job.
I love how much this conductor gets into his music. Notice how he's silently singing along with it.
When I listen to this symphony, I have more study spirit
They are equal to any world class orchestra. There is still hope for good classical music brilliantly played.
Sometimes I really don't know who has more fun with these pieces, the musicians or the director. It really is hard to tell, especially here.
SphericThor1 trust me. As a former musician, a fun director, a director who feels the music and express his/her joy while directing, is the best that can happen to you. I used to play alt sax, and my first director was my sax teacher, and seriously, that man LOVED directing: he would jump to introduce the crescendos, do this thing with the neck like hens do to point out the picatto... Definitely a show, and we the players followed him with proper performances. It was actually fun to go to rehearsals with him. Later on I had the complete opposite: a director who didn't show much feeling, it was like he was angry with the sheet and the group. Needless to say, performances were never that good.
That beautiful young lady at around 0.55 has been mildly criticized for her moving forward so much. That's because she is partially blind and has to get close to her notes in order to see her music score. NEVER judge a book from its cover.
Huh, I just thought she was being very expressive of the solo so I didn't mind it. Good to know tho, thanks!
...I somewhat question why or how you know any of that.

horrendous triangle playing and i mean this from the bottom of my heart
wow, applause from Indonesia 🇮🇩 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bravo! Wonderful!
I never get tired of praising this brilliant orchestra of young musicians from Kranj, a small town in Eslovenia, in the heart of Europe. Bravo Matjaz Bagotaj (Spalla), bravo Nadja Drakslar (first Clarinet), bravo first Oboe, bravo first flute, bravo maestro Nejc Becan and greetings from Brazil!
I hope one day I can attend a concert of this wonderful orchestra!

Another sparkling piece from this orchestra!
School orchestra. Gimnazija Kranj was established in year 1810 and is one of the oldest and most respected schools in Slovenia. Every year we perform above average results in the national examination (matura) at the end of grade 12 and at knowledge or skills contests on the national and international level. Gimnazija Kranj is a four-year grammar school (gymnasium) enroling 1.000 students from 15 to 18 years old, who had above average results at the primary school.
