I've been a huge Yngwie fan since the late 80s, and in December 1996 I went to one of his guitar clinics and met him afterwards. I was lucky enough to be invited back to his hotel, and even luckier to be invited to his room "to listen to a demo he's been working on". That demo was called simply "Millennium", and it was his demo of the Concerto Suite, with all the orchestral parts played at that point on keyboards. I'd love to be able to hear that demo again to hear how it changed between then and the final album. Glad to see some Yngwie love here, excellent stuff.
Fantastic. The New Japan Philharmonic are a phenomenal orchestra. I saw them at least a half a dozen times whilst living in Ota Japan they have the ability of literally reducing a grown man to tears.
Great performance i have seen him in another reaction video. A conductor analyses his style i thoroughly enjoyed the great performance. Love your choices and commentary.
Yngwie (Ing-vay) gets a lot of hate, but he's one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He's basically the father of the neo-classical metal movement. I realize he loves to play fast and has an ego the size of Texas, but his talent is incredible. I've been listening to his music since the mid-80s and I'm still blown away by him.
One of my favourite videos. The adagio is beautiful. I don’t think he plays a wrong note. I told friends I thought an electric guitar would substitute for a violin in classical music for years….then I found this.
He plays so many wrong notes. I've been searching for people reacting to the "studio" version with the Czech Symphony Orchestra because it is nearly technically perfect and the live with the Japanese Orchestra is so far from accurate it grates my ears.
Hi guys, that was off the chart ! Pretty incredible without a doubt. Lex said, it's amazing how Yngwie kept up with the orchestra....I was thinking how amazing it was for the orchestra to keep up with Yngwie !!! Nuff said ! [ mike drop ! ] Byeee Jim X
Masterclass from yngwie malmsteen we called new genre Neoclassical heavy metal because he add some pieces from classical to own song,and a little piece from own song to another pieces,for example in 05:09 he add intro from album fire and ice,next request from this concert too acoustic played " toccata and prelude to april "
Someone recommended yesterday "Whaling Stories"... Procol Harum with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Lex will love it! Oh, add in "Conquistador",... great stuff.
The section you were taking about coming from For and Ice actually originally came from the Alcatrazz song Jet to Jet. Yngwie has recycled several of his older licks.
Very impressive, my wife liked it, too - the hair 😆 Concerning Dream Theater, I would love to see you react to Score, no matter if it is Metropolis, Sacrificed Sons or Octavarium ... it's too long ago since your last DT reaction
my personal dream as a guitarist is to guitarize Rachmaninov Concerto op.2....that's impossible to play on the guitar due to it's limitations even using tapping technique...who knows?)))
I think he must have matured somewhat since my first impressions of him through guitar magazines. After being told by an interviewer that John McLaughlin had jammed with Hendrix, he said "John McLaughlin is entitled to MY opinion! ". When asked about S.Vai as his replacement in Alcatrazz, he said that he couldn't stand his note choices. To Vai's credit as a diplomat, he must have worked on developing a friendship over the years, so that Yngwie now plays on Vai's Generation Axe tours. There is also Vai playing "For The Love Of God" with an orchestra (but that's not classical - and I like the G3 version better). Two other former Zappa guitarists, Mike Keneally, and Adrian Belew also have collaborations with orchestras. Then there's the 20th century orchestral music Zappa wrote and financed with his rock music. Lack of expensive rehearsal time made his London Symphony Orchestra recordings not that satisfying to him, but the later performances like "The Perfect Stranger", with the French orchestra The Ensemble Intercontem- porain, and "The Yellow Shark" with the Ensemble Modern were better. Like much 20thC orchestral music, there is a fair amount of dissonance in "The Perfect Stranger". There is a piece recorded in the mid 70's that he plays guitar on called "Revised Music For Guitar And Low- Budget Orchestra - RUclips" that might be a good place to start for that stuff.
Hey Nick, Let's not forget about one of the first hard rock & or metal bands back in the day that ever did a live album with an orchestra and that was Deep Purple and you need to find it and show that to Lex as a #nicknlexrequest reaction asap!! Please give Lex a hug for me and can't wait to hear from you soon!! Thanks & Stay Metal!!, Walter - 🤘🤘🤘🤘🙏
Esta maravilla, la complementáis con el solo antológico de Rick Wakeman (Yes) en Live at Montreux 2003 , ruclips.net/video/x8lEsCyzutU/видео.html. Saludos
This was great! I do like some of his music (first album and half of the second, pieces here and there), but overall he's just too flashy. He has definitely mastered the guitar, but playing fast without class (which I feel he often does) isn't impressive to me. Just my opinion!
That's what makes Yngwie "Yngwie", he's over the top. He's the Paganini of electric guitar. Even though Yngwie plays fast much of the time there's still a lot of substance behind what he plays. His critics often overlook his vibrato and bending, both are top notch. If you get a chance checkout songs like Crying, Brothers, Icarus Dream Suite, Overture 1383, Black Star, and Marching Out just to name a few. You'll see Yngwie plays with a lot of heart and feeling. Those songs are the epitome of inspiration.
Too many notes. Lemme go back and count before disqualifying them publicly though. They mean well, and are actually very good at the music, for non-Americans. Eight dollars says they practiced this.
You sound like the guy in Amadeus. Which notes did you particularly have in mind? Non Americans. Yes! Yngwie Malmsteen is from Sweden. As were most classical if not all Classical composers like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Haydn, Liszt, Debussy, Shubert etc All non-Americans
@@NicknLex Good ear! Yes, I was pretending to be that jerk in Amadeus. As a prog and classical nerd, I tend to default to non-American artists, but no Swedish artist jumps to mind, except ABBA, which immediately gets pushed back out. Strangely, I've met several of the American composers I respect, like Philip Glass, Steven Reich, Morton Subotnik, Pauline Oliveros (last two were electronic music pioneers)...all of whom came to Harvard, and then some others at other venues, like Yehudi Menuhin and Alberto Ginastera, who along with his cellist wife, graced an audience across the river. Some of the newer "classical" music would be a great product extension to your show, I think. Some musical FB friends worth the listen are Fred Frith, Marc Mellits, Evan Ziporyn, Christopher O'Riley, Bright Sheng, Jennifer Higdon, Jim Mobberley, Charles Wuorinen, Laurie Spiegel, Toby Twining, Roxanna Panufnik, Steven Mackey, Tony Kaye, Adrian Legg, Alex di Grassi, David Lanz, Elizabeth Geyer, Oystein Sovag, Ellis Paul, Bob Franke, Dar Williams, Garrison Starr, John McCutcheon, Roy Zimmerman, Tom Chapin, Si Kahn, David Grisman, David Hykes, Don Preston, Muriel Anderson, Preston Reed, Tim Farrell, Will Ackerman, and the Funky Geezer. Every one of them are genius, in my books. I['m sure you know most of these.
@@TomClark-Futoura I'm not puritan but I do like my music to have some substance. This is empty note spinning designed only to show how fast Yngwie can play. Mixing pop and rock with a symphony orchestra is nothing new and it can be done brilliantly, like the Deep Purple Concerto for Group and Orchestra, to mention only one example.
@@thomasroth4533 Well, I guess the works of Paganini have nothing to do with classical music either then... And where in this piece you hear pop and rock influences? This is classical music with electric guitar as the solo instrument - unlike those collaboration with bands and classical orchestras you mention. Also, there can be both substance and virtuosity in a piece, they are not mutually exclusive.

lol - until today i had no idea anything like this ever existed - now we know what Mozart would have done with an electric guitar
Exactly...
Wow!!! Just nuts!! Seen him before, but not in this context. No clue what if any was off-the-cuff. That was unbelievable!!!
Amazing and enjoyable. A great outlet for his talent. Thanks ✨🤪
There's a four-legged interloper in your midst. Love Malmstein's very progressive sound. Great pick
My favorites movements of this composition are Fugue and Sarabande. They're just beautiful.

Yngwie really enjoy it so much that own musical theme jaja
Great reaction 👍🏻
I've listened tp Yngwie since back in the mid 80's. He used to like to swing his guitar around his neck by the strap.
I bet that comment about him being remembered in the far future was from me 😂
Is that a Paganini piece?
The section you were taking about coming from For and Ice actually originally came from the Alcatrazz song Jet to Jet. Yngwie has recycled several of his older licks.
malmsteen its my top 5 guitars in the world of history.
Wow!
He is an inventor of the entire neo-classical metal. (you can disagree that Ritchie Blackmore was the first, but Yngwie made it Bach-n-Roll)
Very impressive, my wife liked it, too - the hair 😆 Concerning Dream Theater, I would love to see you react to Score, no matter if it is Metropolis, Sacrificed Sons or Octavarium ... it's too long ago since your last DT reaction
I was expecting it to be a cover of the UK track.
me too. Can't wait until they hear the entire 13 minute Suite : )

He looked like Lestat playing guitar. 🧛♂️
Ahh... First Man Malmsteen - and - his Signature playing.
🤘😈👌
Great! Who was the composer? Yngwie? Sounds Mozartian, and just the right number of nots.
He composed the entire Album. But I am sure he borrowed a lot of ideas haha. Great Album !!
Reaction yngwie - icarus dream version orcestra pleasee
Lo de este tío es increible
People like to talk shit about Yngwie, but the reality is he's that guy. He's the final boss.
I totally agree
Your t-sirt is Allan Holdsworth😇😇😇😇

Smoking 🔥 🥵 Hot

For me this is empty note spinning and it has absolutely nothing to do with classical music.
It's a showpiece using Classical themes and orchestration as the foundation, Tom. So maybe take it more like that and not as a puritan. ;-)
