This is one of the best performances of the William Tell Overture I have ever heard. I first heard this piece at about age 12 in 1958 (of course back then our only exposure to classical music was the theme song for The Lone Ranger) and was lulled to sleep during the first 11:10 min. until the finale, then all us kids knew exactly what the piece was. How exciting to hear it over and over. Thank you.
My favorite has always been the one performed by the Berlin Philharmonic in the mid 90's with Claudio Abbado. It is only the part from the 9:00 mark here on but it is awesome.
I love listening to various high school orchestras doing this, but every once and awhile you have to come to something like this to be completely blown away
Rossini was the first great modern entertainer. He understood the ever evolving audience the way Tchaikovsky later also did. They remain the two most entertaining of the pre-20th century great masters.
In what way is he disheveled? It's certainly not with respect to his dress. Or could it be that you're referring to his directorial approach, and your need to play the pseudo-erudite, pseudo-classical musical aficionado.
c'est .....tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE !!!sublime association entre un violoncelle et .....un toothpick!!! je me le mets "de côté" pour écouter et réecouter ancore et ancore !!!!! c'est trop beau !!
Section 1: Prelude/ Dawn 3:00-6:19 Section 2: Storm 6:20-8:39 Section 3: Ranz des vaches/Call To The Cows 8:40-11:15 Section 4: March of the Swiss Soldiers/Finale 11:16-14:16
La categoria dei violoncellisti è rappresentata qui da un Grande Signore Sandro Laffranchini, dotato di qualità musicali e umane enormi. Bravo Sandro!!
Appello agli italiani: perlomeno in italiano chiamiamolo "violoncello". Cello è l'abbreviazione inglese che in italiano non significa niente, perché anche bricconcello o limoncello, per dirne un paio, abbreviati in questa maniera danno "cello"...
Yes - Gergiev famously conducts with his hands only, and is sometimes criticised for eschewing the baton. As a response, he took to conducting with the smallest possible baton, a tooth pick
In her defense the BBC Proms concerts are broadcast on TV to a very wide audience, much of which may not know much about classical music; therefore introductory comments might be helpful for such a wide audience.

Cercati l’Overture diretta da Toscanini e poi saprai dirmi?
I love listening to various high school orchestras doing this, but every once and awhile you have to come to something like this to be completely blown away
Strings were electric!
The whole orchestra - brilliant.
As exciting and precise as it gets!
I absolutely love the William Tell Overture by Rossini!!! This is grreat!!!
Oh, boy, do we/world need this for 2022... Play on, please, thank you
Rossini was the first great modern entertainer. He understood the ever evolving audience the way Tchaikovsky later also did. They remain the two most entertaining of the pre-20th century great masters.
Definitely agree. Who would you consider their counterparts post-20th Century?
I am blown away!!!! First tranquilized by the beauty then smashed by the power!
OMG, the trombonists must be robots!! The storm tempo is CRAZY!! 7:07
Honestly they are. Most of us hold on for dear life tho lmao, unfortunately this excerpt is a standard
Too fast.
1st piece of music I ever heard , at 6 , scared me , but I loved it , played it over and over .
ROSSINI WAS VERY GENIUS
Direttore spettinato ma bravissimo. Orchestrali bravissimi. Cello perfetto.
In what way is he disheveled? It's certainly not with respect to his dress. Or could it be that you're referring to his directorial approach, and your need to play the pseudo-erudite, pseudo-classical musical aficionado.
Meraviglioso ! Credo che il maestro V.G. ami veramente Rossini, Verdi e i grandi compositori italiani !+++++
c'est .....tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE !!!sublime association entre un violoncelle et .....un toothpick!!! je me le mets "de côté" pour écouter et réecouter ancore et ancore !!!!! c'est trop beau !!

rossini: another crazy visionary genius!!!
Bellissimo il solo del cello. Sinceri Complimenti.

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (GALAXY MUSICPLUS)

La categoria dei violoncellisti è rappresentata qui da un Grande Signore Sandro Laffranchini, dotato di qualità musicali e umane enormi.
Bravo Sandro!!
Great performance Maestro Gergiev, and wonderful solists!!!
Props to the trombones! That is NOT easy.
not at all
@Elias Poe why would switch instruments
Especially at such speed
La migliore interpretazione! Grandioso il 1°Violoncello
Secondo me la migliore interpretazione di questa splendida ouverture...
bence de
Ascolta la versione di Toscanini e poi mi saprai dire?
Che violoncelli ! Il signor Laffranchini , semplicemente grande.
Appello agli italiani: perlomeno in italiano chiamiamolo "violoncello". Cello è l'abbreviazione inglese che in italiano non significa niente, perché anche bricconcello o limoncello, per dirne un paio, abbreviati in questa maniera danno "cello"...
CoeliLux Finiremo per dire " bravo " anche al plurale😢
Ma calmati su
From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver...
very beautiful!
I`m glad to see Dusty Springfield hosting! Great video, thanks for posting, Sandro Laffranchini!
Excelentes y finísimas piezas clásicas, gracias.
Just beautiful!
Valerie is great hope to see him New York soon.
Almeno nell'arte cultura opera e meraviglie naturali l'Italia non la batte nessuno Made in italy rossini Pesaro
Pardon Gianluca....non dimenticare il cibo.....
Awesome version; quickness with melody being brought out fully; usually it seems, in my opinion, often there is a trade off between these
BRAVO!!!
Complimenti.Bellissimo il solo di violoncello.
BRAVO!
Per semplicità ... SUBLIME !!!
L’esplosione del minuto 7:07 è fantastica!!
La obertura de Tell es sencillamente impresionante.
Bravo Sandro!
2:50 to skip the woman babbling about nothing
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone loves the finale, but personally I find the flute/oboe (cor anglais?) duet just before even more beautiful
but the finale isn't meant to be beautiful
They play it so beautifully
11:15 is probably what you're looking for :)
Esto es maravilloso!
Mr. Rossini ringrazia.....
Ladies and Gentlemen the James Brown of Conducting.
The Price is Right game Hurdles.
Grande Sandro!!!
The music possessed the conductor
Excellent
Well played, but I feel like I'm in a race.
11:30 the chase music.
muy buena (Y)
A beautiful piece brilliantly conducted. Not that is matters, but what is Maestro Gergiev using to conduct? A toothpick?
Acme No 5 toothpicks, when only the best will do.
Para mi esta es de las mejores versiones en youtube
after Toscanini
@@antoninomarullo8468 of course
Gergiev is holding a toothpick?? Gergiev just finished his dinner probably...
perfektní
is the conductor using a toothpick ?!?!
Awesome
Rossini era un genio assoluto.
Ascoltate la musica sacra che ha scritto, lo stabat mater prende a schiaffi anche la missa solemnis di Beethoven.
En iyisi.
Jesus the coughing... get a hold on yourself damn!
OMG, the tempo...almost as furious as the Tokyo Symphony...Why?????
Grande Sandro!
Ma perché il flauto accentua le crome nelle note lunghe?
Lá vem o TORNADOOO segurem se nas cadeiras kakakak 🐮🐴🐷
Mickey..
Is that Higgins on the timpani?
Who is the 1st flute? Love his tone!!
11:18 though awesome
Nabil Shaikh I use this as my phone's ringtone! #truth
Tony Bidwell good for you. For i have been searching for this song for years, finally found it.
Is that guy conducting with a toothpick??
What is going on? The cameraman is seriously undercranking for nearly a whole minute starting at 7:00. ;-)
Why does't that woman shut up?!?
lmao
Hi yo silver away!
Why he is using a toothpick?
maybe he had a snack before he came onto the stage.
Saquen al de la tosferina
👏
OH! MR. PUTINS SECRET LOVER
Admit it, you are mostly here just for the Swiss soldiers part.
8:39 :D:D:D
hahahahaha i see you x)
Starts 2:40
Gergiev is not a conductor, but a lackey in power!
The intro is very long an is the conductor holding a tooth pick ???
Yes - Gergiev famously conducts with his hands only, and is sometimes criticised for eschewing the baton. As a response, he took to conducting with the smallest possible baton, a tooth pick
Working within Doing
Thought she would never shut up. Great tune
7:23 --> "La civilisation !"
Georg Solti :gee-ooh soh-tee
Small bobble for english horn player at 10:19. Otherwise, impeccable.performance.
Virtually everyone in the comment section is a classical music "expert." Don't waste your time.
That's a some tempo at the end.
Is the concert master Rainer Küchl ?
Yes he was!
Always someone coughing throughout...
11:16
who is first cello?
11:17
11:16
Conducting with a toothpick, uber star
Será posible que siempre hay uno que tose????!!!!!😡😡😡
2:59-14:17
Could you please cut the introduction? It's very distracting! In classical music, we don't need any intro. What counts is the music.
In her defense the BBC Proms concerts are broadcast on TV to a very wide audience, much of which may not know much about classical music; therefore introductory comments might be helpful for such a wide audience.
First piece could easily have been by Bruch.
