If anybody needs reason to go beyond the famous introduction, I have six solid reasons: 1) 4:07 We're in the midst of this beautiful string section that already sounds like honey, and then we get this sweeping glissando from an E7 chord to an Ab chord. Beautiful. 2) 7:27 This section just sounds like a storm, and the melody adds to the chaos. Especially right here where the horns buzz around and help the cadence end with more storm. 3) 15:30 POW! We went through a creepy fugue, and then through another storm. Here, at the height of the storm, this C5 chord drops like a thunderbolt from Zeus. 4) 21:16 Strauss has got us in a dance mood, but here, the tempo goes out of control and the dance truly begins to whirl. 5) 26:19 This section is just so happy. It's heroic, but on steroids. Everybody in the orchestra is going insane, the feeling is ecstatic. 6) 29:20 The strings and woodwinds twinkle in the stratosphere here, shining and brilliant. Just listen to the whole thing.
Just go from 8:50 to 9:50. This section acumulates extreme tension offering us a fake progression with no apparent tonic, and goes to a massive climax in a massive CMaj chord coming from nowhere, perfectly reached from a Fmin that replaces the proper dominant by sort of a diminished seventh with a non-resolved supenison. The melody is specially dramatic and ambiguous as soon as it brings, depending on the notes we take as real, up to three possible considerations to this instant chord. To check it, exactly 9:30 to 9:35. This is my favourite moment of the whole tone poem, and should be your 7th reason.
Steven Naylor Listen. I know little to nothing about music and notes and stuff, what is the best way to learn it, if someone is prepared to dive into it an hour, or 1.5 a day, non stop ?
The second movement of this piece is my absolute favorite thing I’m the world. I’m a music major and was able to perform this piece right before the pandemic hit
I'm with you. There's such a deep rich sense of beauty and intimate self-expression, almost as if strauss was revealing one of his secrets through his music
Growing up I had a neighbor who was in his 80s who I became good friends with. We would go to the local park and grab food or just play cards and watch baseball. He kept this song on cd and would play it whenever we’d go somewhere. He passed away several years ago and I was actually his pallbearer. This song always seems to remind me of him as well as to be conscious of my own limited time on earth. A truly powerful piece of music.
@@matheusferraz486 Ironic that Strauss rejected god or more specifically christianity as he believed it represses the natural emotions that he wishes to convey in his music
Absolutely superhuman. Many years ago, when I was obsessed with Nietzsche, I searched for a reading of Thus Spoke Zarathustra in the original German and stumbled upon this video. That was the first time I cried to symphonic poetry. The memory has never left my mind, and my heart still moves to this beautiful music.
That’s for adding that comment. I fully agree. As a chamber ensemble of 6 string players begin it and gradually more and more players join in raising you higher and higher, brighter and brighter until that final exclamation where we are soaring high above!
The chord progression in the cadenza of this theme is repeated some other times during the music, but in 5:09 it is certainly the deepest version of it, I love the voicing with the strings going one octave higher
Dirigent je sa orkestrom uspeo da ostvari interpretaciju dostojnu Richarda Strauss-a kompozitora kojeg će više shvatati oni koji dolaze sledeće vekove iza nas. Fascinira me decenijama.
It's funny. It's probably Richard Strauss's most well known work (or at least the first 2 minutes is), but the opening is pretty much the most unStrauss like thing he ever wrote.
I'm afraid I disagree. Very much of Strauss's music has similar elements (the timpani, the strong brass and the pompousness). Although the music is not the same as other works, it is actually quite Strauss like. If you think of some of his work like Ein Heldenleben, there are very similar elements.

That Iranian prophet had the main axiom of his (way, philosophy....) is the differentiation between good and evil. So Nietzsche in that book used the name of someone who claimed that good is clear and good for all and evil is clear and evil for all, to convey his(Nietzsche) message which says that(this is my good and this is my evil, and there's nothing called good for all or evil for all)

8:30 honestly one of my favorite low brass moments in music history, to be honest this recording doesn’t do it enough justice but still an incredible moment none the less. Its the climax of this super long intense crescendo and the release of the tension that’s been building up for bars and bars, it needs to be big, it needs ro be powerful, like a volcano erupting. If I was the trombonist this would be the reason I was born.
I don't know how but from 6:20 beyond it makes me think of my soul in the most desperate moments of my life trying to raise up, for example from a break up or founding yourself in a terrible situation no matter of what nature. The raising from that terrible experience takes a huge amount of courage and to abandon some of our usual beliefs is needed. The music in the minutes 6:20 to 8:00 and beyond are something crazy. My soul feels there is a hope. I have to fight myself negativity to finally free myself. Then I realize that the terrible experience I lived actually had a reason, to take another step towards consciousness. This Opera makes me soo emotional. I imagine my past interior experience of how I managed to overtake terrible experiences. Here Strauss, for me, manifested under the form of music the act of a human soul raising from terribly difficult moments. I know this isnt probably the message of this track. Sorry for my English I really hope I managed to transmit you what I mean.
You make a good point. Since I am a classical music aficionado, I listen to and appreciate the entire composition but I forget that some people only appreciate pop culture related stuff. It's too bad because they are really missing out on some great music.
Strauss' masterpiece...the fanfare, the lyricism, the flights of fancy that take the mind and soul on journey of discovery...AND NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE GODDAMN COMMERCIALS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUSIC! Shame on you, RUclips!
+Ethan Reuben (Reubinator999) There's more to this than just the intro, but you would have to like the sorts of Mahler or Rachmaninoff to enjoy it. I consider myself lucky to be part of that group :).
+Ethan Reuben (Reubinator999) Eh...I do think the intro's the best part. But the rest is still good. Except for the part right after the intro...it's so, I don't know, mopey, I guess?
First time hearing this in its whole (I only knew the Einleitung from 2001 ASO of course)... Gorgeous piece of music... it suprises me that this was made already in 1896, due to the book's very moderate success/reception in the decennias that followed it's release. Anyhow, well done mr. Strauss, I'll be listening to more musical works by this composer!
Listening to this ENTIRE work for the first time today: there's a remarkable similarity to the kind of soundtrack music you'd have heard in Old Hollywood.
There are titles to each segment of this piece, each with reference to Nietzsche. One reads "Von der großen Sehnsucht (De l'aspiration supreme)"... So wonderful.
I will have to admit, this is beautiful. One of my favourite movies, 2001: A Space Odyssey had the Einleitung at the beggining of the film. A magnificent opus, just like the book by Friedrich Nietzsche. I think even the grumpy Fritz would be proud of the compositions in this tone poem.
I love the comment about this music describing the celestial plain of the universe! Seems there are some quotes from Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration" also. Beautiful work.
Thus spoke the prophet Zarathustra - bringing forth the first revealed religion or insight. "A reflective, contented mind is the best possession." Thank you for the light you have brought the world.
I just got through listening to the whole piece for the first time.ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!Of course I always loved the first two minutes.But I can't believe it took me so long to listen to it in it's entirety.I have listened to a lot of classical music from all periods during my life.There were passages in this piece the likes of which I have never heard before.Anyone who claims to love classical music but has not listened to this should.
If only one relic survives that shows the human race existed, I want it to be this brilliant piece of music. The beginning encapsulates the affinity our species has for discovery and grandiose displays of accomplishments. This music perfectly sums up what it is to be human.
I like how many comments refer to the first two minutes...the crazy awesome beautiful section featuring the strings not long AFTER that is where it's at...

La mas fiel traslación de la literatura a la música, es el momento cuando Zarathustra habla al Sol desde su ventana, allí esta caligrafiada musicalmente toda la grandeza pensante y la grandilocuente oratoria de Friedrich Nietzsche,el inmortal filosofo alemán paradigma de las juventudes rebeldes de todos los tiempos. Es un verdadero banquete espiritual. Salud! Alberto.
"Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" Composed by Richard Strauss (1896); it's inspired by the philosophical treatise "Also Sprach Zarathustra", written by Friedrich Nietzsche (1883); the play was conducted by the first performance on 27 November 1896 in Frankfurt Frankfurt am Main and lasts approximately thirty minutes; famous for being in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Stanley Kubrick, 1968); diverse artists like Elvis Presley, Eumir Deodato and Ric Flair used it as opening themes.
Disliked by 587 people who obviously have no idea or appreciation of what tremendous musical art this is.. Why did you bother to even listen? Go listen to the sound of passing traffic
La hermosa y espectacular introducción hasta el minuto 1:40 aprox, la he escuchado desde que yo tenía unos 6 a 8 de edad (1949 más o menos), y esa música me quedó gravada para siempre. El resto lo he aprendido a asimilar siendo ya adulto. Desde luego, para los que somos únicamente oyentes, es necesario un proceso de maduración de todos los sentidos y con ellos poder valorar la belleza de esta gran obra. Muchas gracias.
it is not a coincidence that Elvis used that opening as opening for his shows. It's trully impacting and impressive, and shows the great things that will be coming next. First time i hear the full version....and it's trully emotional and meaningfully, as only Strauss was capable of making! May forever his Opus lives! And remind us of our lost humanity
Echt majestätische Aufführung dieses außerirdischen Tongedichts mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher und brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser. Einfach wunderbar!
That's okay :) The whole score is taken from existing concert music (especially Ligetti). There was to be original music, but Kubrick fell in love with the classic excerpts so much that he scrapped Alex North's score written for the movie.
@@jeanderbar ikr he must've thought the composer was mozart reborn walking the earth or something. Imagine thinking a modern composer wrote that score.
No matter how many times I hear a good rendition of this fanfare, it never ceases to thrill me and give me goosebumps. It is unbeatable. But I also love what follows. Like other people here, I highly recommend listening to the whole piece. Its genius and magic Strauss. :-)
Shawn Uplaznik They ruled music in 1800s. But with modern music they are not as main stream as they used to be which is fine by me I am not into modern music i like classical.
I think what really makes the music comes to live and become meaningful is the imagination of the listener, the more he can imagine and feel the different places the music is trying to reach the more he can enjoy the music. I am saying this because that what got me to stay till the end and enjoy it.
La migliore esecuzione ascoltata. Solti e la CSO sono una coppia formidabile e difficilmente superabile.Qualita' e suono perfetti per questo capolavoro di Strauss . Gran bel post.

Going a bit further to your appreciation ("the highest form of Art), I would undermine this: This music is far away from being governed by RYTHMIC LETHANIES (as Pop music suffers) and definetivly doomed by fundamental binary rythmic forms. Contrary to this, classical music often is structured upon ternary rythmic forms (three strokes), which incidentally turns the intellect into uprising circles, thus, keeping primitive impulses apart from intellectual ones. Example: The VALS will never induce sexual (luxurious) feelings upon humans . . . .
@@froehlicherelter Mein Herr, i fully agree, it's a tragedy for human mankind that pop-rock-rap sound overflew worldwide from Anglosphere spread by overwhelming mainstream media, it looks like that mainstream owners would drive people back to the caves.

Hey RUclips: you don’t interrupt a classical piece like this with over four ads for soap, mustard, pickup trucks, and the president.

If anybody needs reason to go beyond the famous introduction, I have six solid reasons:
1) 4:07 We're in the midst of this beautiful string section that already sounds like honey, and then we get this sweeping glissando from an E7 chord to an Ab chord. Beautiful.
2) 7:27 This section just sounds like a storm, and the melody adds to the chaos. Especially right here where the horns buzz around and help the cadence end with more storm.
3) 15:30 POW! We went through a creepy fugue, and then through another storm. Here, at the height of the storm, this C5 chord drops like a thunderbolt from Zeus.
4) 21:16 Strauss has got us in a dance mood, but here, the tempo goes out of control and the dance truly begins to whirl.
5) 26:19 This section is just so happy. It's heroic, but on steroids. Everybody in the orchestra is going insane, the feeling is ecstatic.
6) 29:20 The strings and woodwinds twinkle in the stratosphere here, shining and brilliant.

Brilliant.
Just go from 8:50 to 9:50. This section acumulates extreme tension offering us a fake progression with no apparent tonic, and goes to a massive climax in a massive CMaj chord coming from nowhere, perfectly reached from a Fmin that replaces the proper dominant by sort of a diminished seventh with a non-resolved supenison. The melody is specially dramatic and ambiguous as soon as it brings, depending on the notes we take as real, up to three possible considerations to this instant chord. To check it, exactly 9:30 to 9:35. This is my favourite moment of the whole tone poem, and should be your 7th reason.

Listening to this ENTIRE work for the first time today: there's a remarkable similarity to the kind of soundtrack music you'd have heard in Old Hollywood.
this is amazing. you stop paying attention for like fifteen seconds and you've lost your place. music is so diverse, even within itself
There are titles to each segment of this piece, each with reference to Nietzsche. One reads "Von der großen Sehnsucht (De l'aspiration supreme)"... So wonderful.
I will have to admit, this is beautiful. One of my favourite movies, 2001: A Space Odyssey had the Einleitung at the beggining of the film. A magnificent opus, just like the book by Friedrich Nietzsche. I think even the grumpy Fritz would be proud of the compositions in this tone poem.
I love the comment about this music describing the celestial plain of the universe! Seems there are some quotes from Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration" also. Beautiful work.
Thus spoke the prophet Zarathustra - bringing forth the first revealed religion or insight. "A reflective, contented mind is the best possession." Thank you for the light you have brought the world.

Hear this with every footstep and breath. Live an authentic life. Honor the great liberator, Friedrich Nietzsche.
Don't know if I'd call him the "great liberator".
Praise Nietzsche
@@funkyflames7430 ok and
Long live the Liberator of Egomaniacs.
I just got through listening to the whole piece for the first time.ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!Of course I always loved the first two minutes.But I can't believe it took me so long to listen to it in it's entirety.I have listened to a lot of classical music from all periods during my life.There were passages in this piece the likes of which I have never heard before.Anyone who claims to love classical music but has not listened to this should.
Oh my gosh, I've never listened to this whole song before. It's so beautifully composed, I love it!
piece
it's a piece and indeed, it is beautiful
@@a.a.2573 I hate it when they call a piece a song. Since when? 😑
@@dianamarcekova9615 You shouldn't hate people for not knowing something. That's a very stupid thing to say. At least teach them.
@@a.a.2573 I don't hate them but it just annoys me when they call a piece a song.
I always just knew this for the opening, I had no idea it was a half an hour long piece. It's amazing all the way through
I know the opening section so well... decided to give the whole piece a listen... so here I am... enthralled.
If only one relic survives that shows the human race existed, I want it to be this brilliant piece of music. The beginning encapsulates the affinity our species has for discovery and grandiose displays of accomplishments. This music perfectly sums up what it is to be human.

You are right!
As a classical music listener and as a Nietzsche fan this is all I need.
@@factoryman28 I agree, Nietzsche bad.
@@factoryman28 because I am so amazed by his stupidity that I became a fan of him, no one has ever been so stupid, it requires a genius actually to be that stupid, hence my admiration for him.

La mas fiel traslación de la literatura a la música, es el momento cuando Zarathustra habla al Sol desde su ventana, allí esta caligrafiada musicalmente toda la grandeza pensante y la grandilocuente oratoria de Friedrich Nietzsche,el inmortal filosofo alemán paradigma de las juventudes rebeldes de todos los tiempos. Es un verdadero banquete espiritual. Salud!

Definiu perfeitamente, é um banquete espiritual!
Señor Alberto Valdivia,
What a lovely expression of self. Left for the world to experience, while we’re listening to this musical poetry. Andréa
The intro always make me cry...
This is the song I will play once the quarantine is over and I am free to roam outside!
Wonderful piece of music, amazing at 19:22 when the solo violin comes in, truly heart touching.
The simplicity, power and majesty.......says so much with not one word spoken
15:30 is possibly the most epic thing I have ever heard.
"Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra"
Composed by Richard Strauss (1896);
it's inspired by the philosophical treatise "Also Sprach Zarathustra", written by Friedrich Nietzsche (1883);
the play was conducted by the first performance on 27 November 1896 in Frankfurt Frankfurt am Main and lasts approximately thirty minutes;
famous for being in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Stanley Kubrick, 1968);
diverse artists like Elvis Presley, Eumir Deodato and Ric Flair used it as opening themes.
Disliked by 587 people who obviously have no idea or appreciation of what tremendous musical art this is.. Why did you bother to even listen? Go listen to the sound of passing traffic
The beginning to one of the greatest movies ever made...
And the entrance to some dude who shouts "WOOOO" allot.

WHOOOOOOOO
Richard Strauas is my favorite composer. His orchestrarion is truly unparalleled.
Never knew there was a whole piece behind the infamous intro! This will be a fun listening experience.
I have always loved this music. I think the addition of the pipe organ adds greatly to the orchestra :)
16:55 = one very brave trumpeter
La hermosa y espectacular introducción hasta el minuto 1:40 aprox, la he escuchado desde que yo tenía unos 6 a 8 de edad (1949 más o menos), y esa música me quedó gravada para siempre. El resto lo he aprendido a asimilar siendo ya adulto. Desde luego, para los que somos únicamente oyentes, es necesario un proceso de maduración de todos los sentidos y con ellos poder valorar la belleza de esta gran obra. Muchas gracias.

the opening should be earth's anthem
Which is funny because the book the song is named after is a critique of people Nietzsche saw as not being true to the earth.
I'd prefer Copeland, but Strauss would be OK

I is anthem of czech TV series Česká soda. Ask for rights.
it is not a coincidence that Elvis used that opening as opening for his shows. It's trully impacting and impressive, and shows the great things that will be coming next. First time i hear the full version....and it's trully emotional and meaningfully, as only Strauss was capable of making! May forever his Opus lives! And remind us of our lost humanity
Echt majestätische Aufführung dieses außerirdischen Tongedichts mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher und brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser. Einfach wunderbar!
I'll be totally honest, I always assumed this song was written specifically for A Space Odyssey. Shows what I know.
That's okay :) The whole score is taken from existing concert music (especially Ligetti). There was to be original music, but Kubrick fell in love with the classic excerpts so much that he scrapped Alex North's score written for the movie.
Shows what you could know :)
@@jasonenosart supposedly Alex North only found out about this when he watched it the first time.
You must've thought the composer did a really good job!
@@jeanderbar ikr he must've thought the composer was mozart reborn walking the earth or something. Imagine thinking a modern composer wrote that score.
Whoa! There's more to this tone poem than just the two minute intro!
No matter how many times I hear a good rendition of this fanfare, it never ceases to thrill me and give me goosebumps. It is unbeatable. But I also love what follows. Like other people here, I highly recommend listening to the whole piece. Its genius and magic Strauss. :-)
Genius, yes, without a doubt!
@@jonashasageremtkjrjensen The whole work is a marvel. :-)
That feeling when you read "Also sprach Zarathustra"!
MAGNÍFICO, EXPLÊNDIDO, ESPETACULAR E MUITO MAIS.
Hermosa esta composición! No hay descripción a algo tan bello! 🙏👏
When you really think about it, the whole piece is music played along to a lifetime. From birth to death.
A reflective, contented mind is the best possession. - Zarathustra
Von den Hinterweltlern is my favorite section. I always get shamelessly choked up.
It's midnight and I'm bawling my eyes out listening to this masterpiece. I don't know what it is but it evokes very deep emotions in me😊
Realization is like a train, it left me in pieces, only to be reformed.
Magnifique , sublime orchestration !
Have to encounter 6 ads for such a great 30-minute masterpiece. One every 5 minutes.

They ruled music in 1800s. But with modern music they are not as main stream as they used to be which is fine by me I am not into modern music i like classical.

You're gonna end up hating it. That's what happens when you set something as your alarm tone.
I don't always set alarms. But when I do, I use Also Sprach Zarathustra. Stay Strauss, my friends.
I think what really makes the music comes to live and become meaningful is the imagination of the listener, the more he can imagine and feel the different places the music is trying to reach the more he can enjoy the music.
I am saying this because that what got me to stay till the end and enjoy it.
Es la primera vez que la escucho completa, es sublime
One of the greatest pieces of music ever written!
La migliore esecuzione ascoltata.
Solti e la CSO sono una coppia formidabile e difficilmente superabile.Qualita' e suono perfetti per questo capolavoro di Strauss .
Gran bel post.
Thumbs up if you continued listening after introduction...

DustBGD89 thumbs down because there is always someone doing this in the youtube comments section.
+DustBGD89 YES YES YES!! This work conveys so much more than what it was made to fit to in the film 'Space Odyssey'!! Thank you so much for your comment, it's fantastic to know there are more people out there who don't submit to cultural junk.
The ending is absolutely gorgeous!
I won't be reading your Comment by the End of it but do believe you said the Truth!

The opening is just iconic, absolutly fantastic!
Classical music is the highest form of Art and the most important thing us humans will ever leave behind.
Highest form of art in terms of what? Relative to what?
Going a bit further to your appreciation ("the highest form of Art), I would undermine this: This music is far away from being governed by RYTHMIC LETHANIES (as Pop music suffers) and definetivly doomed by fundamental binary rythmic forms. Contrary to this, classical music often is structured upon ternary rythmic forms (three strokes), which incidentally turns the intellect into uprising circles, thus, keeping primitive impulses apart from intellectual ones. Example: The VALS will never induce sexual (luxurious) feelings upon humans . . . .
@@alejandrotellez2962 To your questions, just look below!
@@froehlicherelter Mein Herr, i fully agree, it's a tragedy for human mankind that pop-rock-rap sound overflew worldwide from Anglosphere spread by overwhelming mainstream media, it looks like that mainstream owners would drive people back to the caves.
@@massimobattistin9958 By all means: Even if you are a longlife precious listener of good music, you could fall into the "Cave Music". as I did in young years, facing luxurious activities, once upon a time . . . Nevertheless, culture and long studies of piano interpretation and furtheron, learning how to teach this instrument, you´ll find new arguments to explain dynamic human attitudes with different rythms and above all WHAT MUSIC REALLY TELLS US ...
