I guarantee my daughter could match his talent. She is amazing at the oboe and I’m not just being a proud mother. She has had professional oboe players comment on how well she plays for only being 18. The head of a well known college in our state is trying to convince her to major in oboe.
Twenty six years ago, I lost my 16yr old daughter Ellie to meningitis. At her funeral, her music teacher arranged this haunting melody to the words of the Lord’s Prayer. Ellie’s choir sang this so beautifully with tears streaming down their faces.
Madame Sue Worthington forgive me, english is my second language ! Amazing, because i just listen and see the vidéo and i cry. As RC, i serve 20 years as acolyte for the funeral mass. I don't read comment. I share with emotion that so nice musik on FB and comment in french: I could use it in entry and walking slowly to the altar, or after the Gospel or after the communion and may be for the exit of church to go to cimetery, at left of our church. 26 years !!! i share my tears for Ellie because i think, that musik could be so important for the death of a teenager ! Today, 24 of Aug.2024, i will pray in koinonia with You and Her with honor ! Big kisses of gratitude from Gatineau, QUÉBEC ... XOX
Ellie is a guardian angel 😇😇😇 …. watching over her loved ones forever…. Ellie inspires us everyday…. To be better people…. This music evokes wonderful memories…. This music lifts our souls…. It eases the pain that never goes away…. ❤❤❤
Some people said "shame on them, they never tributed Ennio Morricone any Oscar for his music themes".... Well, i'm sure in the next centuries, no one will remeber who won the Oscar for this movie or that movie, but everyone will remember Master Ennio for his music.
Correction: Morricone was nominated for an academy award for this music in the film "The Mission." He won 2 academy awards in total for other areas of recognition.
Absolutely! I never will understand how Ennio Morricone could create such a lovely piece. Gabriel's oboe is my favorite. Nothing like it. I learnt to play sax 50 years old to play this masterpiece. Ennio, thank you for the giant gift you gave to human race with your celestial music.
Non-oboe players will NEVER truly understand how noteworthy it is that he can make the lower and higher notes sound so effortless and blend so seamlessly together. That is SO hard to do. It’s like singing, it’s not easy at all to smoothly and softly go from low notes to high notes without straining or having a noticeable break in your range.
yea, i play the oboe and was actually just searching up what it sounds like since I'm currently learning it. His control and technique is unbelievable, I'm gonna have to practice a lot to get it like this
My son plays the Oboe and my wife asked him to learn to play it and then play it for her. He did....it was pretty good. She got to hear it before she left us. Played that same piece at her memorial service. So beautiful.
As I sat and played this version to a sufferer of dementia, I saw her entire posture change. She closed her eyes and her face was beaming with a loving and peaceful smile. It was so beautiful and heartwarming... Such a beautiful piece and such peace
Near the end of my dad's life from Alzheimer's there were certain hymns or pieces of music that I played and his breathing would slow and steady and he'd squeeze my hand. I wish I would have played this for him. He would have loved it.
That is what wonderful music is for. My mum passed a week after her 97th birthday in October 2019 before all the madness started. Thank God as my old Dad could not have visited her and the Dementia took her so peacefully. I took dad in December to see the Marriage of Figaro in the ROH and as we all loved that Opera it was so moving. Love to all music lovers especially Mozart operas which my Dad introduced me to. Andrew from Belfast
It is December 5th, 2024. I saw this movie and heard this music when it first came out. As a musician, this is one of the most haunting yet incredibly beautiful pieces of music I have ever experienced. I am 62 years old and when I am tired of fighting the world around me.... I sit and turn this in repeat....close my eyes and sink away into the emotion and clarity of this music. I remember always, the oboe as it was trampled at the end of the movie... I am sitting here with tears in my eyes.... Wow... Music soothes the savage beast....
Every time I listen to this magical song,i am transported to another world where there is not so much hatred, pain,malice and injustice. Congratulations to the performer
I wholeheartedly agree. There are those pieces which drive you to another level of beauty. This is one such. I will (eventually) get the fingering right on my clarinet. But never will I get this level of perfection. Sheer musical glory.
Of all the songs you could have happened upon… I’m glad it was this one. Beautiful indeed. Also, well done introducing and bringing music into your child’s world. Parenting A+
My mom played oboe for years while I was growing up. She’s still alive and well as of me writing this comment, but I know that when she eventually passes, I will always connect this song to her. She showed me and my brother the movie “the mission” when we were children and she played the solo for us once. Such a beautiful piece.
Totally agree. Truly amazing. Listening to this I actually feel the wave of notes washing over me. I have never experienced that with any other piece of music.
For those young enough to not know this piece was made by Ennio Morricone (who passed away today) for the film 'The Mission' in 1986. For me, one of the best of all time.
I had an OST vinyl record of this film but lost, once you've heard this music, you will never forget, what a master piece, sad for today's children, they've never knew what they've missed....
Many years ago (in 1998, I believe), I worked at the K-Mart in the small Tennessee town I lived in. I worked with one of the most fascinating (and kind) people I've ever known, a man named Wayne. He was a former concert pianist of 20-something years. He had worked at half a dozen opera houses around the world over his career. We talked about music in many, if not most of our conversations. At the end of that year, he gave me a Christmas present of a handful of CDs of his favorite recordings of much of the music he had shared with me. My one significant contribution to our many discussions of classical music, was when I told him about how "Gabriel's Oboe" was one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I'd ever heard. His response was to gently correct my pronunciation of "Ennio Morricone," and to tell me that he was in a New York bar one evening, many years earlier, talking music through the night with Mr. Morricone. I'll never forget the year I spent having those many conversations with a man named Wayne.
It's been 40 years since I last played my oboe. After hearing this I am so inspired to drag my oboe out and play again. This performance was "perfection".
one of the absolute best performances of this I've ever heard....such a rich, lovely, and sonorous sound with perfect intonation and finesse! thanks for posting1
My father died in 2020- so, in the midst of all that silliness in that year, he requested for my brother to play this song at his funeral- it was banned, because it was deemed dangerous - he recorded it instead, and as our father planned and wished, it was played- and both of them got to rejoice that this piece of music absolutely represented the two of them x
@@anabellecorrigan-musicteac5120 I don't think the song itself was banned, it was just that a live performance of it would have required the brother to take off their mask if they were going to play the oboe, which would have risked the spread of COVID.
Of all the videos of this beautiful piece there is no better than this by this gentleman. Ennio Morricone will be remembered for this piece for centuries to come!!
Same. And I incorporated so much Henrik's version that when I listen to another one and there's no glissando (not sure this is the correct term, I mean the switch from a lower note to a higher one) at the end I'm like?
I agree with you. Beautiful sensitivity, awesome sustain on the notes that are just begging for it and a complete engagement with the orchestra.. Music is a wonderful and mysterious thing.
Bruno Z . Agree, often wonder if folk give a thumbs down for the heck of it.. This particular rendition is .. absolutely brilliant .. As another comment mentioned CDs, I also have this one too..
Okay I came across this video about a year ago by accident when I was doing my school homework. I was in complete shock of how beautiful and breathtaking this song was and instantly I felt a connection with it. A few weeks later I mentioned the song to my band teacher. She said she had heard of it and that it was beautiful. A few weeks after that I had a lesson with her (I play oboe myself) and she was stressing about the music selection for our concert. I (without thinking) offered the idea of performing this piece... she loved it. She told me we would perform this piece and I was over the moon exited. That was a year ago and now in three days I will be performing this beautiful work of art as an oboe soloist accompanied by my middle school band. This song, this oboist, even the conductor and the band sparked something within me so strong I had no idea I could even feel. I love this song with all I have and I hope to do it justice on our concert.
I, like you, played oboe once when I was in middle school. However, unlike you, I didn't love the instrument, I thought it produced the most annoying sound ever... The only reason I played it in middle school was because my band teacher told me I had a talent for it. Apparently not everyone can play this instrument, let alone produce a sound from it. The reason I'm telling you this is because just recently I listened to this piece and it made me shed a couple tears. Believe me, I am not a person who cries, I usually surpress my emotions, but something unexplainable happened... Hearing the beautiful sounds of the oboe took me back. It was as if the instrument want to prove to me just how wrong I was. This is a beautiful instrument, difficult to master, yes, but just be patient. It is one that requires patience, only then can you unlock it's heavenly sounds. I regret putting the oboe down 10 years ago, I was simply a naive little boy. I can see that I'm about a month late on this reply, sorry. I hope your concert went well. Don't forget to cherish these moments and believe in your self. Don't give up on oboe as I did. Best of luck buddy. I sincerely wish you the best.
Testimony: GOD uses us in many ways.Out of all the instruments Oboe is my heart.I picked this instrument up in the 8th grade.Though I tried piano,cello,and for marching band and other ensembles I played clarinet.But nothing like the obeo.During a rough time in my life .This video came up.I was so intuned with this piece GOD used my gift and appeared Gabriel.He delivered me a message.I was so in disbelief because how can an Arc Angel that GOD speaks about thought I was worthy of comfort and peace.I still cry The gifts GOD has given each and everyone of us is so real.Music is so powerful.GOD bless those who this touches.
I Am just a country boy from Southeast Alabama USA first time hearing this instrument played. But my god what a wonderful sounding wind instrument. Thanks so much for sharing this with us out here in Southeast Alabama, USA.!☮️❤️
@@ritamccarthy1850 thank you so much for replying with this info . I am going to take your suggestion and try to find the movie right away . I hope all is well with you and your family .☮️❤️
@@christophermichaelson9050 war eagle . Auburn university is one hell of an academic school. As an old meat processor i attended several classes at the on campus meat processing plant. There is truly first class . Bham is not a. Safe place to be in the down town area . I lived in west Jefferson community for about eight years. That was nice. I would attend the Greek orthodox church downtown. We had A armed guard at the door because it was necessary and you know what I mean that was truly sad that they put up with that. I was really glad when I got away from Birmingham. Hope this finds you and your family doing well.
I was a freshman in college, majoring in music, when my professor played this song for us. The first, and one of very few instrumental pieces to move me to tears!
If humanity just stopped and we all listened to this beautiful piece of music maybe we would appreciate how incredible and blessed we are to make such music and maybe we could stop killing eachother
You ain't the first my friend, you won't be the last, I've cried buckets at this composition, although the morricone conducting morricone version with full choir gets me every time
Such a simple tune that is yet the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes. That man, the myth, he created so many 'sounds' that haunt you for years.
My uncle faithfully served his country in the Air Force for over 20 years. Sadly, he passed away from a heart attack recently, and this song was played at his funeral. I’m so thankful for the times that I had with him and that I will always have this beautiful song to remember him by.💔
In school I played the oboe too. I felt the same way you expressed. I went to a huge school and remember there being so many that played the snare drum, saxophone, clarinet and flute... We used to perform a mini solo for a grade and I'd get a little embarrassed because my instrument (sound) was so different than everyone else's. Over time I learned and realized this is a beautiful sounding instrument and not the easiest to learn and master. I encourage you to keep at it, if you enjoy playing. Look up oboe orchestra solos for inspiration.
I had the same experience. I wish now that I had the maturity to take it more seriously. All the violins and cellos and french horns all exist mostly to serve the oboe.
His control of the upper register is incredible. He'll make the high A sound completely warm and beautiful, even though it is very difficult to give high notes that type of texture and sound. They don't sound stringy or out of tune like every other oboe player including me would make them. You really have to appreciate his skill.
Aniarable Channel part of it has to do with the reed. If you scrape it just right you can make a reed capable of doing that. But you also have to practice a lot to be able to play like that.
I just started playing the oboe, and I know it will take me years to reach his amount of skill, practice, and hard work but I hope I can one day sound as good as him.
You will! With dedicated and humble practice, you will be rewarded with the means to produce this magical sound on your instrument. Faith, practice, and taking joy in the process!
I play this while at work during out trial breaks. It seams to calm every one down and puts everyones head in the right place while the fight continues...
+777atmyplace RJM: Brought to the conflict... the everlasting Mercy of G_d and the short-lived Mercy of man... (Plucked from the Mission narrative) Thanks for sharing this touch of heaven - Henrik's solo is both passionate and imposing... jp\o/
My dad played this every night to almost perfection on his flute when I was a small child late into night. Makes me smile and tearful in equal measure . Beautiful piece .
I find it strange but it is correct it reaches your soul ,it makes you happy and sad in equal proportion .This is special,I have listened to several players but this man is better in my opinion.
@@briansephton8777 I have come to believe that the essence of this song is beauty. And beauty is God... and that's why it goes straight to our souls... it speaks to the hunger deep within, for beauty, for love. And the beauty of this melody is such that it pierces the veil of noise and distraction that is this world... leaving us pining for God, for Beauty and Love Itself.
This playing by Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt is, in my humble opinion, absolute perfection! Such beauty, control, emotion, warmth, truly incredible, and a million times better than the playing in the film's soundtrack. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yes, it is a fantastic piece of music. I lost my mom a few days ago. While driving with my Spotify on random this fantastic playing of a uknown to me great music. I got goosebumpsI, broke in tears and had to pull aside full of emotions unable to drive for a few minutes.
Adam Denman : Adam I agree with your comments. Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt plays it with such feeling and control - I love this so much and have it on my regular playlist. Brilliant!
9/11/2023, such an anniversary; earthquakes, firestorms, floods, all recent. Sometimes only music can bring me back to this good place. May this beautiful piece wash over you like gentle rain and fill you with hope for better days.
OK ... I often listen to this piece, played by this man, and almost always, it reduces me to a blubbering mess. I'm not going to analyse why. I'm just going to keep enjoying the tone, the soul, the dynamics and the intimate camerawork of this performance. One day, I want a make friend who is an oboist. Whoever it is will have to be a good friend ... one who doesn't mind if ask ... please play that again! Being Ennio Morricone is sublime ... Being Henrik Goldschmidt is a gift. Thank you.
You wrote everything, Sir. You are perfectly right. This piece is a blessing, it is so well played here and the conductor really helps to make the sounds fly...
This was played at my mom's funeral afterparty, or whatever the correct term is, and it was just right. Her guardian angel was Gabriel and this piece just made sense. It will follow me to my own end. Bless you, mom, wherever you may be and thank you for all your support, kindness and for being you. I will miss and love you always. May you be forever surrounded by whomever you always desired to be surrounded by, and may they appreciate your company at least half as much as I have always done and ten thousand times as much as I love and miss you.
When a piece of music can allow you to close your eyes and feel your soul elevated so you want to stay in that moment, you've been blessed. This rendition of E. Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe preformed by Mister Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt and The Faroe Islands Philharmonic Orchestra takes me there. THANK YOU for making this piece more than music.
If you are interested in ethnic music, I played Gabriel's Oboe with my traditional Korean instrument. lol Please come and listen to my instrument. There are so many instruments in the world. Thank you. ruclips.net/video/FGt5XUPFZmU/видео.html
Yes! I put the theme to the mission at the top of my list and listen to it daily. I also like Yo-Yo Ma's rendition as well. I want this to be the last thing I hear as life slips away in my time. I swell with emotion every time I listen.
The only explanation for 1700+ to “dislike” this musical piece is that they were in war and lost their hearing capacity due to grenades attack. Love from Kuwait.
I think Mr Ennio Morricone must have experienced something supernatural, divine, when he started composing this beautiful and unique piece of music. It's so special! Each time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes, not of sadness, but of something so special that I cannot describe it. God bless him.
+j parks The Church is not evil. We humans are the ones who let evil work within us if we let it. Are you perfect? Have you never committed any simple errors deliberately knowing that you could make a better choice, even if you knew it for a second? Have you ever experienced joy when someone forgave you for something? I am glad to know that even with my imperfections I am called to convert and become a better person, a better Christian every day. Because of the mercy that I know has been granted to me, then I can be merciful towards others. If you really saw the movie, you would see it portraits reality as it was... with it's good side and bad side and how wonderful it was that many Jesuits gave their lives to protect the indigenous people of that region, how they respected their believes, how they respected each other. I would invite you to see the movie with an open heart and mind. Anyway, music is a gift and, indeed, beautiful when that talent is well used. Take care and happy new year 2016. :-)
mr. parks im an agnostic but i have to disagree with you the roman catholics and jesuits have done a lot of good things but its not pure because it has humans behind it. there are no such things as evil unless one human has no intention of being good .
Listening to this for the first time I realised I was familiar with the peice and was expecting the high note to sing out really powerfully, so when it softly floated out like that it was just this beautiful surprise that brought me to tears.
To me, the most beautiful instruments are oboe and euphonium. In fact, there is a version of this piece on RUclips played on euphonium, by David Childs. Check it out, it's beautiful.
+Justin Liu perhaps not the most beautiful instrument, I have tried for years to play it, but certainly beautiful playing. My teacher said, "it's just a tube, the beauty comes from you"
Justin Liu We can make some music with anything.. Then, the wood which is used ( the ebony) to make an oboe favors its beautiful sound. (and sorry for my bad English :/)
A dear friend played this at her father's service last month. He played the oboe and listened to this and other classics as he faded over his final days. Now I play this on a loop as I paint. So inspiring. Thank you!
I feel very blessed to find this in 2024. I am 91 and needed to hear this in troubled times. Thank you.
Bless you
Me too, 78. World is a mess, country a mess, husband has dementia. Such a soulful calming piece of music. xx
@@howardbarnes3714 My husband had dementia, too. My heart goes out to you.
How right you are. I find the world increasingly cruel and unthoughtful - l have retreated into music such as this too.

No oboist even comes close to this performance. The clarity and control and emotional quotient is sublime. ❤

I’m afraid it’s a weak performance. The crescendo is lacking
Well, no soprano or equivalent instrumental soloist pays much attention to the accompaniment -- rhythmically they're a law unto themselves.
Iperoxo! This performance is so emotional! Me kavei na kleo!

My father died in 2020- so, in the midst of all that silliness in that year, he requested for my brother to play this song at his funeral- it was banned, because it was deemed dangerous - he recorded it instead, and as our father planned and wished, it was played- and both of them got to rejoice that this piece of music absolutely represented the two of them x
Un abrazo.
Hoe beautiful.
I dearly hope you're doing better now xxx
Banned? Dangerous? Goodness... This is some of the most light-embodied music out there. I am sorry for your circumstances.
@@anabellecorrigan-musicteac5120 I don't think the song itself was banned, it was just that a live performance of it would have required the brother to take off their mask if they were going to play the oboe, which would have risked the spread of COVID.
Ennio Morricone. Passed away today at the age of 91. May he Rest in Peace, and may his music live on. Gratitude for his awesome music.
I didn't know that. thank you
Our goal in this life is to leave the world a little better than we found it . Mr Morricone succeeded …
This rendition of Morricone's piece brings me to tears. Goldschmidt plays it to perfection.
Yes yes...
It's the best rendition in my opinion! Have watched it so many times.. 👏👏👏❤️🇦🇺
Of all the videos of this beautiful piece there is no better than this by this gentleman. Ennio Morricone will be remembered for this piece for centuries to come!!
❤
I have listened to many versions of Gabriel’s Oboe, and out of all of them, this is the most beautiful. Thank you.
Same. And I incorporated so much Henrik's version that when I listen to another one and there's no glissando (not sure this is the correct term, I mean the switch from a lower note to a higher one) at the end I'm like?
I totally agree beautiful ❤️
I agree with you. Beautiful sensitivity, awesome sustain on the notes that are just begging for it and a complete engagement with the orchestra.. Music is a wonderful and mysterious thing.
Yes, he and the orchestra are absolutely sublime. So breathtakingly beautiful beyond words! 😢😊
This is a beautiful version, I recommend the Ryan Anthonys performance of it on a piccolo trumpet for his own concert CancerBlows.
Heavenly music - how can it be that 2374 people don’t like it? Even if it’s not everybody’s style you can’t deny the quality. People...
There are millions of tone deaf people.
Mostly because they think "proper" music sounds like

Bruno Z . Agree, often wonder if folk give a thumbs down for the heck of it.. This particular rendition is .. absolutely brilliant .. As another comment mentioned CDs, I also have this one too..
Okay I came across this video about a year ago by accident when I was doing my school homework. I was in complete shock of how beautiful and breathtaking this song was and instantly I felt a connection with it. A few weeks later I mentioned the song to my band teacher. She said she had heard of it and that it was beautiful. A few weeks after that I had a lesson with her (I play oboe myself) and she was stressing about the music selection for our concert. I (without thinking) offered the idea of performing this piece... she loved it. She told me we would perform this piece and I was over the moon exited. That was a year ago and now in three days I will be performing this beautiful work of art as an oboe soloist accompanied by my middle school band.
This song, this oboist, even the conductor and the band sparked something within me so strong I had no idea I could even feel. I love this song with all I have and I hope to do it justice on our concert.
Music is magic. Enjoy your performance with your friends!
Maria, can someone record this so you can post it to You Tube? We would love to hear it!
I'm sure you did.
so how did it went?
I, like you, played oboe once when I was in middle school. However, unlike you, I didn't love the instrument, I thought it produced the most annoying sound ever... The only reason I played it in middle school was because my band teacher told me I had a talent for it. Apparently not everyone can play this instrument, let alone produce a sound from it. The reason I'm telling you this is because just recently I listened to this piece and it made me shed a couple tears. Believe me, I am not a person who cries, I usually surpress my emotions, but something unexplainable happened... Hearing the beautiful sounds of the oboe took me back. It was as if the instrument want to prove to me just how wrong I was. This is a beautiful instrument, difficult to master, yes, but just be patient. It is one that requires patience, only then can you unlock it's heavenly sounds. I regret putting the oboe down 10 years ago, I was simply a naive little boy. I can see that I'm about a month late on this reply, sorry. I hope your concert went well. Don't forget to cherish these moments and believe in your self. Don't give up on oboe as I did. Best of luck buddy. I sincerely wish you the best.
Testimony: GOD uses us in many ways.Out of all the instruments Oboe is my heart.I picked this instrument up in the 8th grade.Though I tried piano,cello,and for marching band and other ensembles I played clarinet.But nothing like the obeo.During a rough time in my life .This video came up.I was so intuned with this piece GOD used my gift and appeared Gabriel.He delivered me a message.I was so in disbelief because how can an Arc Angel that GOD speaks about thought I was worthy of comfort and peace.I still cry The gifts GOD has given each and everyone of us is so real.Music is so powerful.GOD bless those who this touches.
Rest in peace Mr Morricone, may you rest forever among your fellow artists and with your divine music.
same - the reason why I'm here, the world has lost an incredible gift

There is truly first class . Bham is not a. Safe place to be in the down town area . I lived in west Jefferson community for about eight years. That was nice. I would attend the Greek orthodox church downtown. We had A armed guard at the door because it was necessary and you know what I mean that was truly sad that they put up with that. I was really glad when I got away from Birmingham. Hope this finds you and your family doing well.
The most beautiful piece of music ever. Thanks you
Ennio Morricone was a true genius. This is some of the most beautiful music ever written.

I cry every time when ever I hear this. But especially today.
I cry too.

:(
Me too. But just because it reminds me of my Grampa
Mr Goldschmidt’s rendition, this powerful emotional song was very helpful in my overcoming the emotional suffering of being wrongly divorced…
An Orchestra is probably the greatest collection of brilliant people to be in one place.Perfect pitch musicians in harmony.
If you hear anothèr oboist play this piece you realize what a magnificent musiciañ hè is
I was a freshman in college, majoring in music, when my professor played this song for us. The first, and one of very few instrumental pieces to move me to tears!
I tear up every. single. time. It’s just so beautiful.
I would like to know...which are the other pieces?
Like now😢
The oboe really is truly amazing.
agreed.
10 out of 10 ducks agree
its a pain in the ass to play, though
coralasinthereef try playing with your mouth instead?
Thierry Dussuet HAH!
If humanity just stopped and we all listened to this beautiful piece of music maybe we would appreciate how incredible and blessed we are to make such music and maybe we could stop killing eachother
So sad and beautiful. It makes me cry . Yet, I want to listen to it over and over again. I’m so in love with this music!
Me too, Su, completely agree!
Moves me to tears also.
Same here
Yes
This. Music makes me so at peace and happy that why I love to here over and over.....
One of the most beautiful melodies ever created. Thank you Mr. Morricone.
I just curiously typed oboe on search and now i'm here crying because of this music, i wasn't ready for that...
Serendipity!
You ain't the first my friend, you won't be the last, I've cried buckets at this composition, although the morricone conducting morricone version with full choir gets me every time
Same😂
The same happened to me! It brought me to tears! Such a wonderful music!
Such a simple tune that is yet the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes.
That man, the myth, he created so many 'sounds' that haunt you for years.
This is the best rendition I've ever heard of Gabriel's Oboe. It lifts your spirit to a beautiful place.
Also we should not forget Mr. Goldschmidt's masterful rendition of this.
The power of this piece, the purity of Henrik's playing, his exquisite timing and sensitivity all combine to bring reflective tears to this old man.
Maestro Morricone has created a masterpiece for mankind to celebrate for centuries! Rest in Peace Sir, and thank you for your beautiful melody!
It sounds directely from heaven

My uncle faithfully served his country in the Air Force for over 20 years. Sadly, he passed away from a heart attack recently, and this song was played at his funeral. I’m so thankful for the times that I had with him and that I will always have this beautiful song to remember him by.💔
This song is played while he's reaching heaven... Rest in Peace, Maestro. Your music touched me so hard....

I’m the only one and in my band class that plays the oboe.I feel left out lol but watching stuff like this makes me feel like I’m not alone, you know?
In school I played the oboe too. I felt the same way you expressed. I went to a huge school and remember there being so many that played the snare drum, saxophone, clarinet and flute...
We used to perform a mini solo for a grade and I'd get a little embarrassed because my instrument (sound) was so different than everyone else's. Over time I learned and realized this is a beautiful sounding instrument and not the easiest to learn and master. I encourage you to keep at it, if you enjoy playing. Look up oboe orchestra solos for inspiration.
I had the same experience. I wish now that I had the maturity to take it more seriously. All the violins and cellos and french horns all exist mostly to serve the oboe.
Would not have expected the Oboe to be such an unpopular instrument. It's sound is just incredible.
Left out? Bruh, you're in a band, lol
@@skinnysnorlax1876 people said I sounded like a dying chicken 💀
The man has accomplished his mission.
His control of the upper register is incredible. He'll make the high A sound completely warm and beautiful, even though it is very difficult to give high notes that type of texture and sound. They don't sound stringy or out of tune like every other oboe player including me would make them. You really have to appreciate his skill.
Aniarable Channel, years and years of practice! And did I mention years of practice? Beautiful playing!
Aniarable Channel part of it has to do with the reed. If you scrape it just right you can make a reed capable of doing that. But you also have to practice a lot to be able to play like that.
Most likely he has played this hundreds of times over an over. Practise makes a master.
His instrument is also fully automatic. A puchner i remember, very rarely
Play with yourself.
I just started playing the oboe, and I know it will take me years to reach his amount of skill, practice, and hard work but I hope I can one day sound as good as him.
You will! With dedicated and humble practice, you will be rewarded with the means to produce this magical sound on your instrument. Faith, practice, and taking joy in the process!
Morricone must have been in Heaven just before to write this masterpiece. Simply the best composer of our times, he makes me proud of being Italian.
Maestro Morricone's legacy is a great gift to all of us.
I play this while at work during out trial breaks. It seams to calm every one down and puts everyones head in the right place while the fight continues...

As a Simi professional oboist, I'm envious of this man. That last note is something most can't pull off and he nailed it.
Reduces me to tears. Every time. Straight to the soul. Gah. How can such a beautiful sound exist in this world?
Oboes player, Goldschmidt, had to hold his tears while playing;i feel
@@maramarxx2431 Incredible understanding 👏 playing it over and over..
I find it strange but it is correct it reaches your soul ,it makes you happy and sad in equal proportion .This is special,I have listened to several players but this man is better in my opinion.
@@briansephton8777 I have come to believe that the essence of this song is beauty. And beauty is God... and that's why it goes straight to our souls... it speaks to the hunger deep within, for beauty, for love. And the beauty of this melody is such that it pierces the veil of noise and distraction that is this world... leaving us pining for God, for Beauty and Love Itself.
The human voice is the most beautiful-sounding instrument. The oboe comes a very close second.
And the violin too, sometimes it sings...
The Theremin is very similar as well
He is gone, now he became music.
It is but an echo that remains ! Alas no more disgust at humans!
It's true, transformation of person to music

This playing by Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt is, in my humble opinion, absolute perfection! Such beauty, control, emotion, warmth, truly incredible, and a million times better than the playing in the film's soundtrack. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yes, it is a fantastic piece of music. I lost my mom a few days ago.
While driving with my Spotify on random this fantastic playing of a uknown to me great music.
I got goosebumpsI, broke in tears and had to pull aside full of emotions unable to drive for a few minutes.
Adam Denman : Adam I agree with your comments. Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt plays it with such feeling and control - I love this so much and have it on my regular playlist. Brilliant!
9/11/2023, such an anniversary; earthquakes, firestorms, floods, all recent. Sometimes only music can bring me back to this good place. May this beautiful piece wash over you like gentle rain and fill you with hope for better days.
OK ... I often listen to this piece, played by this man, and almost always, it reduces me to a blubbering mess. I'm not going to analyse why. I'm just going to keep enjoying the tone, the soul, the dynamics and the intimate camerawork of this performance. One day, I want a make friend who is an oboist. Whoever it is will have to be a good friend ... one who doesn't mind if ask ... please play that again! Being Ennio Morricone is sublime ... Being Henrik Goldschmidt is a gift. Thank you.
Well said
Thanks guys ...
Same here.
It always brings back the entire movie and all the bittersweet emotions that film raised.
Me too. And I've never seen the movie. It's just that this music reverberates in my soul.
You wrote everything, Sir. You are perfectly right. This piece is a blessing, it is so well played here and the conductor really helps to make the sounds fly...
This was played at my mom's funeral afterparty, or whatever the correct term is, and it was just right. Her guardian angel was Gabriel and this piece just made sense. It will follow me to my own end. Bless you, mom, wherever you may be and thank you for all your support, kindness and for being you. I will miss and love you always. May you be forever surrounded by whomever you always desired to be surrounded by, and may they appreciate your company at least half as much as I have always done and ten thousand times as much as I love and miss you.
Very touching words ❤
You were very lucky to have had an obviously wonderful mum.
When a piece of music can allow you to close your eyes and feel your soul elevated so you want to stay in that moment, you've been blessed. This rendition of E. Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe preformed by Mister Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt and The Faroe Islands Philharmonic Orchestra takes me there. THANK YOU for making this piece more than music.

Magnificent version and it will always remind me of him. Bravo

I think Mr Ennio Morricone must have experienced something supernatural, divine, when he started composing this beautiful and unique piece of music. It's so special! Each time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes, not of sadness, but of something so special that I cannot describe it. God bless him.
Yes it's heavenly music.
+j parks The Church is not evil. We humans are the ones who let evil work within us if we let it. Are you perfect? Have you never committed any simple errors deliberately knowing that you could make a better choice, even if you knew it for a second? Have you ever experienced joy when someone forgave you for something?
I am glad to know that even with my imperfections I am called to convert and become a better person, a better Christian every day. Because of the mercy that I know has been granted to me, then I can be merciful towards others.
If you really saw the movie, you would see it portraits reality as it was... with it's good side and bad side and how wonderful it was that many Jesuits gave their lives to protect the indigenous people of that region, how they respected their believes, how they respected each other. I would invite you to see the movie with an open heart and mind.
Anyway, music is a gift and, indeed, beautiful when that talent is well used. Take care and happy new year 2016. :-)

When you get chills from music like this, you know you're real.
Listening to this for the first time I realised I was familiar with the peice and was expecting the high note to sing out really powerfully, so when it softly floated out like that it was just this beautiful surprise that brought me to tears.
I always cry when this song plays.. I have no idea why!
It reminds you something inconciously. Might be good or bad. But when you cry it is your soul crying, of joy or sadness. Look very deep inside you.

To me, the most beautiful instruments are oboe and euphonium. In fact, there is a version of this piece on RUclips played on euphonium, by David Childs. Check it out, it's beautiful.
That, my friends, is the most beautiful instrument on the planet. The OBOE!!! =)
+Justin Liu perhaps not the most beautiful instrument, I have tried for years to play it, but certainly beautiful playing. My teacher said, "it's just a tube, the beauty comes from you"
+Doug Delaney Exactly, the music comes from the heart and not from the instrument in himself
Doug Delaney So if you grab a tube on the street and start playing it, it's gonna sound beautiful by itself?
Justin Liu We can make some music with anything.. Then, the wood which is used ( the ebony) to make an oboe favors its beautiful sound. (and sorry for my bad English :/)
+Justin Liu Hell yeah it is
A dear friend played this at her father's service last month. He played the oboe and listened to this and other classics as he faded over his final days. Now I play this on a loop as I paint. So inspiring. Thank you!
Oh. My. God. Tears running down my face. I heard this as a teenager watching "The Mission" with my youth group at the theater.
