Why does no one write music like this anymore? Or if they are, why aren’t we hearing it? The music literally toys with my soul, I can genuinely feel my own emotions moving. I wanna smile, cry and laugh in disbelief all at the same time. Absolutely stunning.
For me, John Williams at his best - E.T. Orchestral Score - moves me like this.
@@KennettSymphony I was gonna say the same exact thing haha! The E.T. score (and especially finale) gave me the same chills and emotional powerhouse this piece did.
@@KennettSymphony I think the score from Schindler's List is better.
If you listen to movies score's you'll find the most beautiful and magical music. Some people list the music written by John Williams (a genius) but my favorite is Ennio Morriconi.....RIP! Listen to Marconi's "The Mission" (the best) or "Cinema Paradiso". Then there is always music by John Barry.
@@stanleyshelmire of course I have listened to both Ennio and John Williams, but nothing comes close to this. The harmonic mastery and ridiculous orchestration is beyond any film scores from today
If you have ever played in any orchestra, you cannot have anything but complete admiration for the hard work accomplished by this orchestra and conductor. Totally impressive!
I hope you are still on fire.....
Plus there is no better feeling, not only playing an astounding piece like this well, but having such an appreciative audience witness it.
Agreed! As a Clarinetist, to be surrounded, enveloped within these sounds is akin to living momentarily on a different plane..a different realm of existence.
At 14:38 we hear the 1923 recording of a real nightingale in the pines. That is 94 generations of birds ago, close to immortality, as is this exquisite dream.
Thank you for the time; I needed to find that place for a class I'm teaching!
that is a very moving thought ,in my opinion! thank you for that😍
I went looking for this piece of music because it was one of my fathers favorites. To my amazement I find he made this comment and how prophetic it was, as Chris passed not long after making this comment, but his love of classical music lives another generation in his eldest son.
I will do a cover of this lovely piece on my channel in the future as a tribute. Thanks Dad…. and the poster of this beautiful video.

@@switchedonbachunpluggedmpd2297You moved me to tears. Greetings from a director.
Absolutely incredible. My father introduced me to "The Pines Of Rome" when I was in my mid teens many years ago. I'm 76 now and listening to this version so many years later still gives me the same deep emotional thrill it always has. Very soul stirring and majestic. God bless these young musicians and their conductor for this breath taking performance.
This must be the best youth orchestra in the world. These young musicians are just fantastic. Slovenia might be a small country, but it has achieved big things with this orchestra. This performance is exciting - it sends a tingle down my spine. Well done to the wonderful conductor and the highly talented musicians.
well yes this is an exceptional performance, national "youth orchestras" aren't youth, they are 18-25.
as good as any other youth orchestra I've heard is the New England Conservatory . Check them out.
@@francissadleir9805 I am 81, anybody less than 40 is youth to me...
Orquestra Juvenil de Caracas is one of the best
@@francissadleir9805 That’s youth to me. 😎
One of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
Agreed.
@phil erup
I didn’t say it was THE greatest, I simply said ONE of the greatest.
@phil erup
Gladly accepted 🙂
Beh. Non esageriamo 😊😊
Nope Beethovens 6th symphony is a work of art
Having conducted many youth orchestras in my career, this has to be the best I have ever heard. The conductor is also absolutely fantastic. No overstatement, no unnecessary gesture "for the audience". It all about music, efficiency and beauty. Incredibly moving and simply beautiful.
The Pines of Rome finale never fails to reduce me to tears...
I agree - it is awesome!!!
Legions triumphant!
The last movement absolutely transports me 2000 years: I can see it. Roman legions in armor with pennants waving on pikes, returning from a foreign conquest. Elephants , tigers. slaves , prisoners, War booty of all descriptions marching in a tremendous dust cloud in the broiling sun on the Appian way to the cheers of citizenry lining the roadway.
This is a technical as well as musical masterpiece..
The Pines of the Villa Borghese 0:00
Pines near a Catacomb 2:47
The Pines of the Janiculum 9:06
The Pines of the Appian Way 15:30
thank you 😊
Thank you very much.
Today, July 9th, is Ottorino Respighi's birthday and I had to watch, for maybe the 100th time, this SUPER performance of The Pines of Rome! Hope everyone involved is doing well today! Best Wishes from a grateful listener in Washington,DC
Once again Nadja Drakslar proved her amazing mastery of the clarinet. I have never heard any clarinetist produce such a sweet sound, and don't let me get started on her control, it is a masterclass.
Nadja Plays as Beautifully as she is herself. I just discovered her 2 Symphony's ago. The Youth Orchestras are a WONDERFUL Thing.
This conductor is brilliant. He gives the ensemble exactly what they need... nothing more, nothing less. And he is able in part to pull a fantastic sound from the ensemble with such simplicity in pattern beating.
I hear most of the great orchestras here in NYC. This orchestra is second to none. Great job.
How do you define a musical masterpiece? Simple. When you hear it for the 500th time it still thrills and enthralls you like the first time.
Question: How does one sustain a 20 minute goosebump? Answer: Listen to this performance!!
The Roman Legions marching through the Pines of Rome.....best performance I ever heard!
Heroin... Heroin... Fabulous... Magic... Divine... PERFECT...
It is impossible to watch and listen to this without being totally moved. I have seen this any number of times and it never gets old. I am usually crying at the end and I think I go through that final movement without breathing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one... but I do keep breathing!
You sound like me!
It's incredibly moving and powerful. The Via Appia gives me goosebumps every time, whether listening or performing.
Clarinet lady is divine! This is now one of my favorite performances. THANK YOU for including the ovation. The ovation is really a part of this great work and should be listened to until the last clap. Congrats. 7 years later.
Beyond my words but not my tears. Thank you everyone.
For me, this song is among the 10 most incredible.
How can you not have a standing ovation after this piece? A very loud, sustained major chord, with full orchestra AND organ, will do it every time. Add a choir, and you'll get people jumping over their seats. Respighi knew what he was doing. Wonderful joie de vivre.
Listening to this music is the most emotionally exciting "natural high" I've ever experienced in my entire 77 year life! I consider it nothing less than a gift from God.
one of the longest standing o's i have ever heard, remarkable and well deserved
What glorious music, what a glorious orchestra, what a glorious conductor and what a glorious audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The conductor's eyebrows at 20:20 and the concertmistress's smile at 20:31 ... sum this up pretty well. Spectacular performance!
I also love the conductor's enthusiasm
THE YOUNG LADY ON THE CLARINET, IS TRULY AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible. I hope she's doing well.
I had the opportunity to play this as a teenager at music camp. It was, and always will be, one of my most cherished memories. It's my favorite piece of all time.
I would play this in my 1970 car going thru the red woods on our way to beach. Every time we turned a corner this music blended to the greatest moment ever
What amazing creatures are orchestras. How fortunate we are to share in this wonder of cooperative human creation.
These were high school students? Amazingly talented! One of the best performances of this tone poem that I've heard. Great camera work, too!
For certain one of the finest productions of "Pines of Rome". I'm delighted to see such a youthful orchestra creating such a refined sound, usually heard by groups with older members. The credit must definitely go to the very talented director! And, of course, to the dedicated, desciplined Slovenian students committed to good music. I wish American high school students were, but I don't believe so.
From Indiana USA. I am clapping as well. This is one of my most favourite pieces and you folks took it to the absolute top of the mountain and then some. Peace and good will to you.
Spectacular performance ! I love the name of this piece "Pines of Rome with Standing Ovation." Yeah...if I were composing a piece of music I would include a standing ovation as well. I heard his other composition "Pines of Rome with half-hearted applause" It wasn't as good
Two live performances of Pines, two different orchestras, two different venues, and two VERY different audiences. Each got an "S.O." and so help me also shook the chandeliers.
That's a good one! :-)))
johcafra: If the venues had pipe organs they were probably shaking the floor too.
Ha ha ha! Nice one Jim.
That's one of the best replies I have ever read!
A very fine example of the Slovenian orchestral tradition, a performance full of style and spirit.
+Darrell Jones Yes, indeed. I heartily agree. But, I would widen it to an eastern European tradition.
+Marv Luse Slovenia was always part of a Central Europe. We were part of Austro-Hungarian Empire for a 1000 years. But I still hope, you like our music.
Outstanding performance by these young folks!! The 133 who voted "dislike" are complete idiots! That run through was exceptionally clean. Well done!!
Ever since we played "Pines of the Appian Way" a few years ago in our community concert band, I've absolutely loved this piece. I don't recall hearing all four up until now, but I swear, "Pines Near a Catacomb" is quickly edging its way toward the top as my favorite movement of the entire piece.
And what's more, these musicians are all so young-looking! This is some amazing talent.
I like near a catacomb too. I'm in high school and I want to play in an orchestra like this. (I'm a clarinet).
I wish music like this was appreciated more.
+Michael Pfahler It is. More than you know, by quiet and thoughtful folks.
@@michaelpfahler1022 I'm just listening to this for the first time and saw your comment. I do hope you were able to follow your dream and are playing with a brilliant orchestra such as this one. God bless.
Good 👍 Michael McClary
The ovation always has me in tears. Magnificent!!!!!!!!!
Just performed this piece in concert yesterday with my state's youth orchestra. It was incredible, and this is a great recording of it!
The fourth movement of this piece has to be my favorite ending of any piece ever written. Just absolutely awe-inspiring, especially when you're on stage in the middle of it all.
I can only imagine! Only in my wildest of dreams!
The GONG is unforgettable if you're there 😊
Not to take anything away from "The Pines of Rome," it is wonderful... and for a couple more examples of great endings, catch Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite," and the incomparable Mahler Symphonies #2 and #8 (and also the third, but there you're transported to heaven in a different way ).
Wow, such young artists - wonderful!
The trumpet solo in the second movement gets me every time.
wow! I'll bet Respighi would have loved hearing these young people performing his music so very well!
Special... Spectacular... Best... Beauty... BEAUTIFUL... PERFECT...
Great fan of Ottorino Respighi. This is a magnificent performance. Thank you so much for sharing.
seriously, respect to the clarinetis soloist.
You haven't lived until you've heard this piece in the manner performed here.
Simply superb.
I got goose bumps and tears in my eyes when I heard this!
Me too!
Glad to know it's not just me.
I was driving home late at night in traffic and almost pulled over because I was so moved by this performance!! I heard nuances in your interpretation that I have never heard in over 40 plus years of listening to this amazing piece. Bravo!!
I don't know how many times I have listened to this piece but each and every time I'm thrilled by the mastery of this orchestra.
english horn starting at 16:28 and clarinet throughout...wow, just wow! Kudos to this fine orchestra!
This performance brought tears of JOY to my eyes!!!😭😭
I just attended a symphony concert last night where they played this piece and it got me revved up because I am playing this next semester in orchestra!!
Same here!
Pines of the Appian Way is now officially my favorite song ever, thanks, no doubt, in part because of the incredible performance showcased here. It just has everything: a slow, subtle beginning that builds up, memorable themes, an epic crescendo, a full and engaging main part that sounds incredible, and an ending that is a both satisfying and show-stopping experience that brings everything together so well. It truly is a piece like no other I have ever heard!
I've heard several versions of Pines of Rome and that standing ovation was very well deserved.
It is utterly joyful. An ideal tonic for a spell of depression.
Exactly! And that’s why I have become an addict. I am planning a trip to beautiful Slovenia to hear it live in a concert
I think a video like this is way more transparent than the best stereo system, because you can see what instruments are playing and how the composer did the orchestration. There's lots of stuff I've just noticed that I never hear in recordings.
Today is the first time I ever heard this (in my long life) on radio and I am so glad I located it! Spectacular !!
I feel better about the world, seeing these young professionals play in concert. With young people who can play like this, the earth has a future.
Thank you, Kirsten. You definitely have a good grip on reality!
They’re not professional. Most of them are in high school.
This performance allowed me listen to so many different textures and colours that are normally drowned out by the orchestra-namely, the piano and the auxiliary percussion. Beautiful way of allowing the audience to hear the piece in a different way
I am glad, you like it. Music connects us in different ways. Greetings.
It is nice to be able to hear the piano and harp
One of my favourite pieces, and they performed it excellently.
Magnificent !!! These are the best young musicians I've ever heard, and I'm a retired symphony musician.
A great performance! I have seen the band transcription of The Pines of the Appian Way myself. One day I heard the recording of The Pines of Rome by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony, another unforgettable performance. That said, I hope these young people keep going.
These young musicians are AMAZING! Such a thrilling performance from start to finish! Very, very professional and polished. I've never seen a live performance so did not know about the extra brass in the balcony- blew me away!
Under the baton of Maestro Nesj Bečan all the instruments of the orchestral canvas acquiere a touch of magic and enchantment to make the orchestra vibrate and resound with a torrent of tonalities and colours unequalled in the musical world. Particularly in this score where the musical ideas of Ottorino Respighi seem to be imbued with an atmosphere of mystery, conjuration and wizardry. Players and conductor honor Respighi's score. Maestro Nesj Bečan you are an unqualled shaman, genius and brujo of the orchestral palette.
Wow!!! Wasn't expecting this...I even shed a tear. You all have just revived my hope in humanity because you are a High School Orchestra! This was beautifully done and truly amazing...thank you from the bottom of my heart...Blessings to all.
I love that you can hear the Organ really clearly here
Every time I listen to this I love it more. The final movement is simply magnificent, and the playing is phenomenal. Well done, folks.
This is such a master rendition. All very gifted young boys and girls. Wonderful.
Absolutely thrilling and the standing O is what a conductor and orchestra live for.
The last 5 mins. brought me to tears. Movingly heroic performance by young people of the ultimate heroic score. Kudos!!!
the textures in this are incredible--its like hearing piece for first time--esp. percussion--had no idea so many--and piano --all right there--kudos to conductor--he brought them out--usually drowned out...every thing is so crisp and clear..best I've heard like so many commentators here.
Also, excellent work by the sound technicians to make sure that all was captured.
Heard the Pines of Rome in person at Segerstrom Hall in So Calif, a few years back with the Pacific Symphony. It was absolutely spectacular, they used there Huge Pipe Organ. I have never been so moved by an orchestral performance. They too had a standing ovation. The Orchestra was so full and loud at the end, it easily exceeded the volume of some rock concerts I have been too. But in a good way. Wish they had made a video available of that performance. This video brings back those memories.
I love Pines of Rome especially in Fantasia 2000 they should play in the Tucson Convention Center someday.
My son was 1st Trombone in a youth wind ensemble that toured Europe. At one of their concerts prior to the tour, they played Pines of Rome. Absolutely triumphant. After that incredibly loud and marvelous sustained chord at the end....in one movement, the conductor ended the piece with a big arc of his baton and never stopped the motion, walking from the podium to off stage. The standing ovation was THUNDROUS, sustained beyond 5 minutes. It was in a church with fantastic natural reverb. That performance cemented this piece as one of my absolute favorite top 5 of all time. The conductor also made use of brass placement around the room.
This is how it should sound.
Great. Amazing. Emotional. Heartbreaking. I was crying during listening. I think I've seen young people that are already high professionally skilled and which have not lost their enthusiasm yet. Perfect sound, too.
I love this song! It's beautiful!
Grand performance of mighty evocative music.
Amazing composer and amazing country!
Yes, and I hope to visit one day. Wow. Grazie.
Excellent tone from the clarinetist. Great energy for the final mvmt. No one expects perfection from so many young players at once....this was very well done and a pleasure to hear.
The pines of Via Appia is a main theme music of the invincible and glorious Roman Empire‘s Military
Fantastic performances of this young orchestra
I first heard this son on a radio station and I loved it so much I looked it up and this is the best performance I've heard so far! Great Job!!!!
Hello from Australia. Beautiful music, beautifully played. Thank you.
Very very well done! Beautifully played by all young talented people. Well conducted, produced, and edited. I loved the dynamics and many camera shots. Thank you for posting this performance!
This simphonic poem is so very lovely, I can't be spiteful at anything at all, such beauty, such incredible sounds of nature...you just feel in Rome...enjoy!
Magnifique intreprétation de Respighi, mon compositeur préféré!💙💟❤☮☯🏳🌈!
This was an incredibly moving performance! I was brought to tears several times. BRAVO!!
I ran across the clip quite by accident a few months ago & I have been back almost daily to hear this piece. It thrills my soul. All the cares of this world just seem to float on by when I hear this piece, especially the chirping birds and the magnificent ending. I have since listened to many other orchestras play this same piece but this is absolutely the best ever!
Siete un patrimonio della musica europea! Viva!
One can smell the pines through the conveyance of the notes.
Do you also imagine them with snow on them?
Pines of Appian Way is simply the best movement in musical history. As a trombone player, I hope to one day to play this. Amazing that these were high schoolers.
I play trombone and have performed this piece. It does not disappoint.
If you haven't yet played it, you will! (Your grandma speaking here.)
Amazing! I spend half of my You Tube time listening to this orchestra. Thank you Zevnikov. I appreciate you not ending abruptly and allowing us to see the audience and the recognition of the soloists at the end. Keep posting!
Esecuzione eccezionale perché suonata da giovani bravissimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is wonderful!!! I love pini di Roma and this is an excellent performance. The quality from the image is also great... Great conductor and musicians!
I stumbled across this performance of "The pines of Rome" today on RUclips, listened, and was stunned! It has been probably twenty years since I have listened to a recording of "The Pines of Rome,' which is strange considering that in my days as a hardcore audiophile, it was one of my favorite demonstration pieces for a new piece of high fidelity equipment. This is a superbly played and recorded performance, and to put it simply, I was near tears by the end of this performance. Just one of the best performances
I have ever heard! (Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra is excellent, with conductor Nejc Bečan!)
A well deserved standing ovation. Wonderful performance.
Absolutely spectacular!
I've watched this often before yet still tears streaming down my face by the end, the majestic power of music-so evident in this orchestra-never ceases to amaze and inspire. wow... and thanks big to Zevnikov for this post.
It's comforting to know other people feel the same way about this powerful music. Music composed by, performed by and loved by like minded people.
