@@zemylaIf true (and I have no reason to doubt you), that's off the scale of sad. It's one of only about ten pieces of music that almost always brings me out in goose bumps.
@@arthurpewtey It's true. If you listen to it with the mindset that it's all a sarcastic mockery of common music tropes at the time, it's pretty great. Grieg himself wrote, "For the Hall of the Mountain King, I have written something that so reeks of cowpats, ultra-Norwegianism, and 'to-thyself-be-enough-ness' that I cannot bear to hear it, though I hope that the irony will make itself felt."
I first heard it in trollhunters from nomura the changleing on netlfix when I was like 6 and became obsessed with it but I didn't actually know the name until I was like 10 because nomura told the legend of the song and the name in the second season (I think)
At 1:28 the orchestra starts to sound like a heavily breathing human. And the dirigeant controls the breathing of this"living music"... truly amazing..❤
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YEARS TO FIND OUT THE ORIGINS OF THIS SONG....I hear it in so many hardstyle/tecno songs for so long and couldn't find the original.... You have no idea how happy I am 😂
Peer Gynt is a Nordic farce like Don Quixote where much of the content takes place in imagination land. If one can truly smell the muck in the stalls, it's any story that pits a small band against the might of the world
Amazing how it's the same notes over and over again but the tone of it makes it so good that you can watch it for 2 and a half minutes without getting bored.
I really liked the way the conductor interpreted this piece. Especially his use of horns and drums for creating an interesting soundscape, even more than other interpretations by other conductors. The slightly-prolonged and brassy horn at the beginning (0:13, 0:21 and 0:29) really evoke that sense of echoing empty space. You can also see him calling for louder drums at 1:42 and 1:56, and the percussionist steps it up immediately, which really gives it the sense of the troll king's footsteps slamming hard on the ground chasing after you throughout the entire climax.
When I was a kid, my dad would play this on his 1970s Yamaha stereo system, on vinyl, with 12" speakers. My brother and I went nuts. That was my first taste of classical music, and I've loved it since.
Nobody should ruin this 111likes and by the way when I was a kid too my dad would play this but with one Boofer and 25 speakers the whole neighborhood went nuts
My first taste of classical music was when i started watching TwoSetVoilin. All the credit of my musical knowledge and appreciation goes to TwoSetViolin. Anyone else?
I had the great fortune to live in Norway for many years. As a teenager I lived in a small place, Stryn, which lays at the base of the beautiful Nordfjord. I have had many rides along this fjord, with the dark, awe inspiring water at one side, and the dramatic, absolutely stunning mountains on the other. I can tell you, that Grieg captures the atmosphere and the core of the place incredibly well. He really was a genius. Even now, 50 years later, listening to this piece, I can see, hear and feel the trolls coming, first at a distance and finally arriving at the climax. It still moves me to tears of excitement.
I had my elementary students watch this after watching the Line Rider-Mountain King video. All their eyes were on the conductor (told them to observe) and everyone gave a fortissimo applause after the performance. I love the conductor's energy!
The conductor reminds me of my beloved grandpa. He used to teach me and my brother music when we were kids, with the same passion. Absolutely beautiful.
@@MattG-wp8ub Its a bit complex but simply put, they are, they watch him for tempo and pacing. That why he moves the baton, each little movement means something to specific parts of the orchestra.
We did this in band practice in the 80's. Our first heavy metal band.13 years old and jacked up on jolt cola . We'd play faster and faster until we messed up. Never heard of this song until the other day and a buddy was gonna play with the TSO, and sent me a link knowing i watch jeopardy when i visit someone with a TV. I almost went to a production of the play once, wish i had. Cool song and the conductor is a total trip!
From the BBC " Ten Pieces: In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg" "Grieg's music drew on the Norwegian folk tunes of his homeland. He wrote many songs and piano miniatures. He was a leading composer of the Romantic era and brought the music of Norway to an international audience. Grieg's 'Peer Gynt Suite' tells the story of a young boy - Peer Gynt, who falls in love with a girl but is not allowed to marry her. He runs away into the mountains but is captured by trolls who take him to their King. Peer Gynt tries to escape but is chased by the trolls and runs into the troll King but eventually gets away. Listen out for: The strings that play the sounds of Peer tiptoeing and running to escape. The tiptoeing sound is an effect called pizzicato where string players pluck the strings of their instrument rather than use a bow."
oh wait, that's what it means? I see myself climbing a mountain, then the violins playing then wind gusts, seeing the sun when reaching the top and all the mountains at a distance, some greener than others but I don't see the troll... Like, at all. I guess I just don't get it. This music makes me feel like a giant that can climb a mountain in 2 minutes, which is extremely frustrating actually. I wish the climb was longer. I think I'll stick to my version, I really can't picture the troll. I've never climbed a mountain so to me, this is the next best thing. I don't want to trade that for a troll chasing me, that's kind of disappointing... Do we know what compositor meant? By that I mean, what the BBC wrote is an interpretation or they just state facts? I find it weird to be able to see something so clearly that I could paint it but being so wrong ^-^ I really can't see a troll. At all. I don't even sense the emergency, only determination. I guess I just don't get it. A guy climbing a mountain for me it is. I like it like that.
@@SLRModShop I suppose that you stumbled across the fact that fear and determination can be seen as inverted emotions to one another. Just depends imo if you listen to it as feeling like the music is coming from you or from your environment. What might be scary in a foe might be the coming across of his determination, if id have to tell it in another manner. I might even have a good enough clue to say why you feel that way when so many feel it in the other fashion, but that's not my place to say out of the blue. Interesting but not damning. Have a nice one
@@SLRModShop You can find the prelude to this piece in this video and more info about the composer in the description : ruclips.net/video/dyM2AnA96yE/видео.html
LOL - this cracks me up because I remember this music being in an episode of Astroboy when I was a kid - there were these big robots skating along in unison and it had this music playing and for bloody years I didnt know the name of it either. It's one of those things where you know the music in your head but how do you search for it? Dun nun nun nun nunun nun, nununh etc etc :)
Incredible piece of music, one of the greatest ❤️❤️ Chills still even after the 10,000th listen. Love the 2nd violin bloke during the intro who’s digging the bass beat and grinning before he plays!! How could you not experience euphoria being part of an orchestra playing this…..
i was smiling the whole time because that conductor is just so animated. if i could play an instrument in an orchestra i would love that guy as my conductor.
I love how this piece’s brevity, its build, and its familiarity makes it one of those wonderful pieces for underscoring all sorts of things. This is why classical music will never die.

Also at 2:00 to 2:26, finals are around the corner and you are exhausted from EVERYTHING. You must cram as much as you can, to get your grades to their best, and at 2:26 to end of the video (2:41), you've finally escaped the pain and suffering... Or did you?
Same!! I First fell in love with the tune after watching Disney’s Mickey Mouse Three Musketeers when I was 7 😂 Actually I think that’s when I also fell in love with the Habanero theme and a few others.
There's a lot of videos nowadays with programs doing mad things, playing all kinds of notes you'd never have in real life or playing it insanely fast. But nothing beats a real orchestra playing it how it was meant to be played. I'm not the most knowledgeable or even interested in classical music, but this might genuinely be one of my favourite pieces of music.
i was in band for 6 years and all of my conductors told us to follow the lead of percussion. it doesn’t matter if they’re off, if percussion is off and the band is following the conductor everything gets thrown off 😂
@@mikip282 Having been in 5 or 6 bands as a bassist (stopped playing now) I can tell you that the most frustrating thing in the world is a drummer who can't keep his pace/keep the rhythm proper... ..... and how the worst thing you can do is trying to fix it because if he already fucks that up, there's no way he hears _you_ keeping the pace lol A bassist is heavily reliant on/producing the beat in cooperation with the drummer and you won't notice if it's on beat but you most certainly will hear it when a bassist is out of sync with the drummer... not all people listen to the full soundscape but everyone (well mostly everyone) will notice something is off. It's the heart while the drums are the veins and the strings are the limbs.
I'm here because today I was practising on the guitar, trying to advance beyond the "beginner" phase I've been stuck in for 20 years. All of a sudden I started playing this melody spontaneously. Happens a lot recently when I let my mind wander when I'm practising. I start spontaneously playing pieces of classical music my recently deceased grandfather played me on his record player when I was a child.
I remember the exact day I heard it the first time. In school. I was about 8-9 years old. 30 years ago. Still love it. First day emotions were POWERFUL 🥰
When i played this with my orchestra, we bopped our heads up and down when we were resting to add spice to the music- oh we were such talented dancers Lol
This is probly the only classical sort of music ill ever like and I will forever vibe with it, also the conductor is just having a blast through the whole thing

You must cram as much as you can, to get your grades to their best, and at 2:26 to end of the video (2:41), you've finally escaped the pain and suffering... Or did you?
Good for you, hope you pay your student loan off because I sure don't won't to pay it for ya.
Spot on!
Yep
Underrated comment 😂🥹
Definitely one of my favorites. Grieg would be proud.
Omg, you’re vids send me immediately to the floor in laughter and this was like none other! ❤😂😂❤
I fvking love classical music! How tf can music deliver certain emotions so neatly!?
Wow what a great conductor he is. Makes himself, the orchestra and us really enjoy this great piece
I don't mean to sound crass, but this is one BAD ASS SONG! I have loved this since I was a kid!
Same!! I First fell in love with the tune after watching Disney’s Mickey Mouse Three Musketeers when I was 7 😂 Actually I think that’s when I also fell in love with the Habanero theme and a few others.
@@fandomgoddess we watched the 1940 something version of 'The Pied Pipers and I was hooked
If I were the conductor I would have gone even crazier with such a classical masterpiece
There's a lot of videos nowadays with programs doing mad things, playing all kinds of notes you'd never have in real life or playing it insanely fast.
But nothing beats a real orchestra playing it how it was meant to be played.
I'm not the most knowledgeable or even interested in classical music, but this might genuinely be one of my favourite pieces of music.
2:11. My teacher when the class noise
Absolute masterpiece. Ive been trying to look for this for years
Yo thats me!!!
Iv watched various orchestra,s plays this wonderful piece BUT, This is quite simply as good as it get's.
Best version anywhere. To any and everyone involved in producing this. Be proud... This is amazing!
The drummers were definitely timing the beats based on the conductors instruction. Amazing.
i was in band for 6 years and all of my conductors told us to follow the lead of percussion. it doesn’t matter if they’re off, if percussion is off and the band is following the conductor everything gets thrown off 😂
@@mikip282 Having been in 5 or 6 bands as a bassist (stopped playing now) I can tell you that the most frustrating thing in the world is a drummer who can't keep his pace/keep the rhythm proper... ..... and how the worst thing you can do is trying to fix it because if he already fucks that up, there's no way he hears _you_ keeping the pace lol
A bassist is heavily reliant on/producing the beat in cooperation with the drummer and you won't notice if it's on beat but you most certainly will hear it when a bassist is out of sync with the drummer... not all people listen to the full soundscape but everyone (well mostly everyone) will notice something is off. It's the heart while the drums are the veins and the strings are the limbs.
I'm here because today I was practising on the guitar, trying to advance beyond the "beginner" phase I've been stuck in for 20 years. All of a sudden I started playing this melody spontaneously. Happens a lot recently when I let my mind wander when I'm practising. I start spontaneously playing pieces of classical music my recently deceased grandfather played me on his record player when I was a child.
i love watching this conductor.
1:36, man conductor is having a fantastic time
Who the HELL disliked this? They should face the Mountain King! Incredible performance!
I remember the exact day I heard it the first time.
In school. I was about 8-9 years old. 30 years ago. Still love it. First day emotions were POWERFUL 🥰
Woo I love it thanks I needed to know for weeks!!!
When i played this with my orchestra, we bopped our heads up and down when we were resting to add spice to the music- oh we were such talented dancers Lol
2:02 RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
When my music teacher asked what song this is I said 100 digits of π (pi) 💀
So true
Uno dei primi brani di musica classica che mia mamma mi fece ascoltare da piccolo...
The definition of "That escalated quickly".
What a magnificent piece of art, It gives me chills everytime I listen to it.
I loved this. Cracked me up. The emotion°
I hope someday I could listen to this live because it is such a powerful piece
This is probly the only classical sort of music ill ever like and I will forever vibe with it, also the conductor is just having a blast through the whole thing
I’ve been whistling this song for an hour, so I came here to shut myself up. Remarkable performance. So much better than my pitchy whistles.
