Very talented young orchestra, fine conductor. Isn't it funny to see a whole orchestra where everybody has a full head of hair?
Hahahaha very good
😊😊
Hahahaha yes baldness the final frontier of PC
This version of The Planets is magical. I am 63 and it is the most rousing, beautiful, powerful performance of this piece I have ever heard. The young orchestra are a wonder to listen to. Their youth gives the work a spontaneous vigour all it`s own.
I keep returning to this performance, after having heard so many other renditions. This orchestra gives it the raw energy especially "Mars" needs.
Mars is absolutely exceptional, I have also never seen an orchestra this size actually perform Holst`s masterpiece. Edward Gardner`s direction of the orchestra is so filled with empathy and care, and those young musicians, they literally bring tears to my eyes. The whole performance is miraculous So glad you, and many others, feel the same love for this performance.@@sjdpfisvrj
Definitely in the top 3.
See......this is why I love watching these orchestrational presentations. It's amazing to see the musicians "becoming" the music they are so painstakingly generating.
One cannot simply "play" the planets; you have to realize you "are" those planets you are representing.
Especially towards the end of Mars, you could feel the dedicated intensity needed to reproduce this outstanding finale. The god of War, turned these musicians into his own personal army of FEARLESS warriors!
GREAT!
At 81 i've discovered this performance. Thank you. Music at it's best!
Well keep discovering. How is it going?
82 now hopefully! 🙏
can't count how many times I came back to this recording and watch it from start to end. truly magical. ✨
I'm glad to see this back on RUclips. Gardner and these young musicians bring such vitality and sensitivity to Holst's work.
Agree. I used to have this on as I worked around the office and then it 'went away . . . " for the better part of a year and then today it's back!
@@alanloeper3953 Same with me--it's one of my favorite pieces of music to have on while I'm writing.
@@alanloeper3953 SO----CELIBRATE , YIPPPEEEE .
@@alanloeper3953 I HOPED YOU CELIBRATED, I DID.
Wow, that’s the best youth orchestra I’ve ever heard, the future of music seems safe in their hands
they are all parrots anyway. whats the difference.

Thanks for reuploading this. IMO the best version of Holst's Planets
With all due respect to your opinion, my favorite recording of the original suite is by Sir Charles Mackerras and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, with David Lloyd-Jones and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra taking the spot for my favorite recording of “Pluto.”
It is actually. Mars is relentless in this version. (Plus it elegantly features a Euphonium section.)
The dynamics and strength of this performance is what makes it so good. I always come to this recording for comfort, it’s my favorite rendition of the piece too:)
agrre
Boult is the best recording but this is defo second
Although I remain unconvinced by Matthews' 'Pluto' addition, this is hands down one of the best live recordings of the Planets you will ever see or hear. The depth and power is astounding, but matched with beauty and subtlety where needed too. Remarkable.
Only a genius can continue the work of another genius, which Matthew is not.
this video was super important to me. I am stoked to have it back
me too! i cant believe i found it
@@SuperHeliumboy If there is ever a situation where it needs to be removed (hopefully never!) make sure it's unlisted so ppl can still view it with the link! Thanks again for uploading it for us all to enjoy!!!
@@SuperHeliumboy thank you soooo much for reuploading!!!
Not only performed with precision, but with subtlety, energy, and emotion. This group put their own distinct stamp on a classic like I've never heard it before. Thank you for renewing and lifting this piece to a new level. Gustav would be very proud, I'm sure.
And, although the Royal Albert once had a negative reputation for poor sound, the new work AND BBC Sound technicians, AND Cameramen, did a excellent job.
This is a cosmic lullaby, and quenches the dryness of the earthling soul

Somehow I get the feeling that you're particularly a fan of Jupiter.
I realize there is no earth
@@ylimexyz or sun
Just the really famous planets
@@goldgamercommenting2990 sun isn't a planet
These fantastically talented young musicians under the guidance of Edward Gardner have produced in my mind the finest version of Holst’s Planet Suite, the potential in these amazing musicians is incredible, with this concert they have demonstrated what utter perfection can be produced regardless of age, their dedication and hard work in pursuing their dreams is totally appreciated in my house. Would loved to have experienced this live, I wish all of you, long and enjoyable musical careers.
Period!
I second your comment. What a wonderful performance. When I was younger, I used to take the LP out of the library and then an episode of Inspector Lewis reminded me how much I loved it.
The timpani at the first crescendo was PERFECT!
Agree totally!
Wow! The vigour and vitality this orchestra brings to Holst's Planets is a wonderful thing, and such sensitivity too. It's the best.
ABSOLUTELY, AND I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO MANY FAMOUS RECORDINGS TOO. NO DOBT ABOUT IT, SOME PRO'S MAY FIND FAULTS, BUT TO THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENJOY THE PERFORMANCE, LOOK NO FURTHER.
To all the youth out there. Hopefully you'll see this comment. What a magnificent performance
Yes, it is wonderfully presented, emaled it to my brother, a physics person to enjoy. One can almost feel themselves. out there, viewing the planets in all their presence.
I love classical music!
OMG ...THOSE ARE YOUNG PLAYERS ? OMG OMG OMG ~~~ MAGNIFIQUE. AMAZING !!!! BRAVOOOOO
WELCOME ABOARD, THEY ARE ALL TEENAGER'S.
This is probably the best rendition I’ve ever heard what an absolute display of talent! Probably the most energetic and clear rendition I’ve seen.Kudos to the conductor also
Those bones at 4:23 are tearing it up. Love this performance, thank you for reuploading it.
Jupiter at 22:00 somehow gives the strength to go forth. Played by such a wonderful orchestra of young people revives in me the magical feeling I experienced 60 years ago hearing The Planets for the first time.
My dog's name is Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, King of the Solar System because it's the perfect name for a big dumb golden retriever
and that's exactly why the Catholic church borrowed it too.
Is he the bringer of the mail, from the hallway ?@@hettbeans
@@MrDaiseymay more like bringer of dog hair
@@hettbeansI haven't even met the dog and I love him already
I have watched in awe at the wonderful talented orchestra and director. I have listened to this at least 25 times. One of my favorites. Thank you.
Clearly---mine too.
Okay but can we take a moment to talk about the absolute mystery and enchantment in Neptune? From the magic the woodwinds and piano brought to it, to the indescribable way they did the choir. And the conductor’s face! Even he felt that.
Pluto should be demoted to a sparkling celestial body.
Neptune is my favourite movement.
I just found out over the weekend my planet is Neptune, never knew I had one. This was an amazing piece by this orchestra, I am very impressed.
both neptune and jupiter are the best
@@saidtheactress Mine, too! The Intro from 41:22 bis 43:08 so fucking inspired the "Alien" Theme and "Anakins Dark Deeds/Birth of the Twins" of course
I have heard many recordings of this work on discs and in live concert, and this is, to me, the best performance of all! Amazing musicians, excellent conductor.
This performance of Holst's masterpiece is quite simply second to none.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to make this observation, but...this suite is so dang cinematic. I hear Star Wars (and Die Hard) in Mars, Braveheart in Jupiter, Raiders of the Lost Ark in Saturn...
I can only imagine that many film score composers were influenced by Holst's work. The Planets suite is so gripping and visceral.
What a pleasure to have the entire suite in one performance. Thank you, uploader.
It's undeniable that a lot of film composers take inspiration from classical music. Often films have classical music as "placeholders" for sound in scenes before the score has been composed so the composer often ends up making something very similar. In 2001: A space odyssey (apparently) Kubrick (director) liked the placeholder music in the opening scene (Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss) so much that he ended up putting it in the movie instead of what his composer had made. Another interesting example of obvious inspiration is star wars main theme inspired by King's Row by Korngold (ruclips.net/video/QKOYgr-gWZE/видео.html)
Every musician is inspired by some other music, but I do personally dislike how blatantly film composers often "copy" classical music and end up being much more known, while the classical piece gets lost in obscurity.
OTOH, have you ever noticed that there is *always* a dramatic “classical” segment in the credits of almost any major movie you can think of? Sometimes it’s the totally final music, oft times it’s not. But it’s always there somewhere at the end. Nothing seals the gravitas of the drama like the classical style.
@@kerrycanfield332 this is often the 'showcase' for the composer's work, where he/she is allowed to sting together a version of the theme(s) that flow musically uninterrupted (without having to match action). If you go back far enough (in the days when the majority of the credits rolled at the opening) there were even overtures that played entirely before the film even started i.e. Lawrence of Arabia (which also has a musical intermission if I remember correctly).
It's not coincidence . Lucas planned to use this pieces. But in the end was the main source to the original soundtrack of star wars.
A FANTASTIC performance and, yeah, I missed it while it was gone. The only problem with this video is that I can't have it on just to listen as background. The videography, the musicians, the conductor ... all so enthralling to watch.
Magnificent otchestra, you'd never know just by listening these were all young ! A brilliant performance I've thoroughly enjoyed. Well done, hope they've all got fabulous careers !
ALL IN THEIR TEENS
To my mind this is the best version I've heard. Very talented talented young people. Thank you for sharing.
THEY WERE ALL TEENAGERS
Its great to see this video again, after the other one got taken down for some reason.
it was taken down because it was monetised and this is copyright content
@@SuperHeliumboy I'm performing in this - Planets is out of copyright, so how could this happen?
@@StuartBramwellMusic I dont know the whole story but when i uploaded this video youtube immediately recognised the music and said this is a copyright claim so you cant monetise it but the owner allows the content to be uploaded so i guessed thats what happened with the last video
@@SuperHeliumboy Have a look at Article 10 of the Rome Convention on Performer's Rights. The WTO TRIPS Agreement is also relevant in some jurisdictions. Essentially the performers and recorders have a right to a fair share of your profits.
What a joy to see and hear these talented young musicians. I keep coming back to watch this fabulous video when ever I need a reassurance that the future of classical music is in good hands.
For a youth orchestra to achieve this level of excellence is unprecedented. Bravo!
Spectacular version and performance, Bravo Maestro Gardner and all the Orchestra, your performance is historic.
This is, this is, this is, i have no words
GOOD ?
TAKE A RUN AT IT.
This is my favorite ever recording of this piece, thank you for reuploading it after the original got taken down
Glad the full version is back. I missed this!
Музыка фантастическая....большой,мощный,сыгранный оркестр...достойный ведуший по таинственным планетам...отлично.....
Every musician in this concert was superb, as was the conductor. Wow, very impressed.
WOW! Just, wow! What an amazing group of musicians.
Thank you so much for bringing this back. An amazing performance that l have listened to and watched many times! I couldn't believe it had disappeared! THANK YOU!!
For all the wonderful recordings of this work over the years, I'm not sure I've ever heard a more vibrant performance than this. Quite quite magnificent. For anyone who has come bored listening to 'The Planets', this will astonish you. Utterly fantastic.
I Agree with you 100% . I'd add Incredibly brilliant . These young musicians have managed to capture the true spirit of The Planets which I'm absolutely certain Holst himself would agree! Most listening would undoubtably agree as well that this performance may be second to none.
I'm rediscovering the Planets with this video, and it's quite exhilarating. What a masterpiece !
The music of the future.....
Thank you Mr Holst.
INCREDIBLE ! Listen to it on full volume !
SO DO YOUR NEIGHBOURS EH ?
Goosebumps... This is awe-inspiring!!! I loved it, BRAVO❤❤❤
Thank heavens it has been returned to us
Fantastic! Exquisite! And the conductor is beautiful to watch to. Relaxed and into it
🤗🙏
Yess!!! my favorite recording is finali back on youtube!!
Wow! We're gonna play this piece in the Netherlands too, so I'm very happy for all of this inspiration. And Neptune... what a performance!!😍
Great music, is INTERNATIONAL , Best wishes.
Best Perfomance of Holst's the Planets out there, very talented young Gen Z musicians and the performance blew the roof off. I bet it sounds very powerful live 👍
Wow. Wow! As many different versions that I've heard of this...and wait: there's Pluto too? Omigosh, what a treasure! And I'm thrilled for these young musicians who are really feeling the majesty of these works as they perform. Bravo!!!
It’s called the Planets. Not dwarf Planets. Also, Pluto hasn’t been discovered until the 30s I believe
An amazing performance from some incredibly talented young musicians. The closeups of Maestro Gardiner show just how much he is enjoying working with them. But his expression at 48:46 = You know you've done something bad and hear your mother call you by your full name from two blocks away! Thanks for uploading this again!
You made my day (night)!
Neptune is one of the most difficult music in term of tone, especially because winds are almost every time on ppp nuance and it is very very hard to maintain accuracy at this low level.
I love this concert but winds had some trouble to find the accuracy on this part.
@@drwuu596 I think Mercury is harder (definitely a finger twister). Mind you, I'm thinking of this a as a string player (specifically a cellist).
Pretty sure that's not what's behind his expression at 48:46...
@@johnpay8796 You never know. His Mom might not have been happy with his tempo for Jupiter...
Wow. I just watched Jupiter. What a beautiful assembly of talent and skilled expression. Holst would have been proud! So glad to see a youth orchestra of such mastery. The future looks more bright thanks to you.
In the 11 years that I’ve lived I never heard such magnificent pieces of music
Bro there's so much good classical music out there you have no idea
Shostakovich 11 and rite of spring are good ones to start with. More eastern and arythmic
You're lucky to be so young with so much yet to discover in this wonderful and infinite world of classical music.
And so lucky to have RUclips to help you discover all of it for free, when at your age I had to buy my own records...
You're absolutely right. I always liked classical music even as a child, but I'm in my late 60s now and still remember vividly the day a friend and I discovered his mother's recordings of The Rite of Spring, Petrouchka and Firebird. All three (but especially the Rite of Spring) made a huge impact on both of us. It was sounds and rhythms that we didn't even know were possible. I discovered Shostakovich a little later, and it also blew me away!@@finniananderson2007
@@69EBubu I HAD TO BUY SECOND HAND, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.
Music at it's best , wonderful collective effort!
Really wonderful, Edward Gardner is a marvelous conductor; so lively and obviously enjoying the performance.
The camera work is equally amazing, as the performance~!
The BBC, has lost much of it's high eminence in recent years, but 'THE PROM's', re-awakens those skills. thank goodness.
VERY TRUE, UNFORTUNATE ABOUT OTHER ISSUES, BUT SELF INFLICTED.
This will quench the thirst of the souls of earthlings
Such and inspiration, and a delight, to see the talent and dedication of these young people. They are LEANING INTO this piece, from start to finish. Bravo!
Dang, 7 years later and I'm still watching this. Absolutely amazing performance. Well done.
I’m not your dad but you might want to consider moving on with your life. This piece is freaking amazing but 7 years is quite a long time to watch one video…
@@aaroncrnkovic1398 You're right. No one listens to music for more than a few months, at best. Oh, wait, Holst wrote the Planets in 1914 - 1916, yet we still listen to it.
Ik I meant that as a joke. I intentionally misread your comment as meaning you were sitting at your computer for seven straight years. Sorry I worded it poorly. As for the music I totally agree it’s as good now as it was back then. I’m seeing the Chicago S.O. play it live in a week so ig I kinda have to agree!
Thank you so much for uploading this. This version with this fantastic youth orchestra are the reason I got into The Planets two years ago. They bring so much energy to it and it tops every other performance
The Wonderfulness and Greatness and Splendor of this masterpiece cannot be overstated and beyond description
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING!!!
This is the best recording of The Planets I've ever heard. I love how fresh and young it sounds. They really go for it! Glad it's on RUclips again! Thanks!!
SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS---there are thousands of depressed fans of this concert, who would be THRILLED to learn of it's revival.
@@MrDaiseymay?
Love Gardner's conducting. I wish the camera had stayed on him a tad more.
I was so confused when I couldn't find the original video in my playlist! Whatever be the reason for it being taken down, glad to see it back here! Edward Gardner leads the youth orchestra so well!! Thanks for the reupload ❤
I noted on the original upload of this video how well Gardner's facial expressions match the tenor of the particular section he's conducting: stern on "Mars, Bringer of War", soft and gentle on "Venus, Bringer of Peace", roguish and mischievous on "Mercury, Messenger of the Gods".
My favorite will always be his face just before the climax of Uranus and toward the end of Neptune.
Einfach super dieses Junge Orchestra ,gänsehaut pur.
So glad this is back!!
21:50 I CAN NOT HELP BUT CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SECTION BECAUSE OF BLUEY. I miss my mom dearly. ❤️🥹
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Its back and I cannot wait to listen to this again!
This music allows for so many beautiful images. I've stumbled across this composer by chance and I am intrigued
Holst is pretty much the reason we have band programs in this country.
Perdi as contas de quantas vezes eu ouvi esta obra prima. Sou apaixonado, principalmente, na música Mars, The Bringer of War.
i FIRST HEARD 'MARS' ON THE RADIO, IN 1949. I WAS 8 YEARS OLD., IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. IT WAS USED FOR THE OUTRO OF A RADIO SERIES, BASED ON H.G.WELLS BOOK, '' WAR OF THE WORLDS''.
I think although the addition of "Pluto" is an interesting experiment, it completely screws up the quiet almost silent ending that Holst clearly intended the piece to finish on.
Yeah, maybe it should be after Uranus
I agree. I'm sure they mentioned it before or in the program.
A very good point. Almost as bad as playing, knees-up- mother brown, after ELGARS NIMROD
Fabuleux !!! Magnifique !!! Vénus, en particulier, est de toute beauté.
I am so happy. The music is amazing but watching these wonderful young performers makes it very special.
I LOVE Proms. They are a spectacular occasion to cherish youthful brio. DO IT !
This is moving through space and time as we venture around the core of the Milkyway Galaxy.
These kids brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful talented people.
Finally its back

Probably has to be my favourite suite... looking forward to seeing the NZSO perform this in November
HAPPY DAYS
2023 Where are they now 7 years later? Excellent performance.
Most likely scattered about the world in all the famous Orchestras.
@@MrDaiseymaythis is true! I see a lot of similar faces in LSO, LPO and elsewhere.
@@user-cx8mz2xx2y Yes, I'm not surprised. In the NYO, the age range is 13 to 19 , so, Teenager's. The places are filled every year, one by one.
@@user-cx8mz2xx2y GOOD TO KNOW, THANKS.
What a performers, delightful,exciting and well amazing work. Thank you.
The recording is So good. Useful to see an Orchestra perform, to see which instruments were used to create what.
THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL, ONCE HAD A REPUTATION FOR POOR SOUND. MORE RECENTLY, ITHAS BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED. OBVIOUSLY.
Thx for posting this- one of my fav recordings ❤
Cheers and b safe!
This is a cosmic lullaby
I wonder why this video doesn't have as many likes as it should.
The original upload had 1.5 million views. It was then taken off for a year or two. I've only just rediscovered it, as many more will when word gets around.
Absolutely the best rendition of the Planets performed. Strength in numbers as some orchestras are thinner in their ranks, depleting the depth, and in part, this is where this performance shines. The precision and flow is to the credit of the Maestro, but also, his connection with the whole orchestra.
Não canso ver e ouvir este vídeo. Minhas músicas preferidas são Mars, The Bringer of War e Venus, The Bringer of Peace. Adoro esta orquestra. 😊
This was by far my favorite recording of this suite, tysm for putting it back!
AMAZING.
These fantastically talented young musicians under the guidance of Edward Gardner have produced in my mind the finest version of Holst’s Planet Suite, I've always marvelled at how an orchestra can concordinate their notes. Today, I've seen they don't but modulate their tones to meet their fellow musicians to create a pleasant harmony.......how else are they to play?
When you think about it, musicians can't play the exact same note at the EXACT same time multiplied by that number by ten or more. Swure, after lots of practice maybe two or three people could play the same note at the exact same time but more than than that, you're into the realm of fantasy.
i'M NOT, A TRAINED MUSICIAN BUT--IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PRINTED MUSIC SHEETS, WHICH THEY ALL HAVE. SO THEY ALL WORK FROM THE SAME MUSIC SHEETS, EVERY NOTE IS IN VIEW. tHATS WHY THEY ARE TRAINED AND ADVISED FOR SO MANY YEARS'
AND SO IS THE CONDUCTORS LEADERSHIP, WITH HIS BATON.. I THINK YOU'LL AGREE, THE SYSTEM WORKS.
Bravo to every person involved, Honest, heartfelt bravo.

Thats what they must have thought back in 1918 sept 29th, when the first performance was played , in London.
I've been listening to this in preparation for going to a performance of this piece in a few days by the US Marine Band. This is one of those gems that must be fabulous when experienced live.
and was it ?
@@MrDaiseymay I couldn't believe it when I got a last minute email saying that the concert had to be cancelled because of a water main break. Such is life.
My word . One of the best renditions of this work I’ve heard in a longtime !
Holst is a great cosmic Alchemist
That was a great performance. Nine French Horns! Great! 💓
Finally!!! A good modern orchestra!!
Thank you for reuploading this
Thanks for putting it back up!

Ahhhh, I just discovered the original missing from my playlist. I see everyone saying it disappeared, why? Either way, glad to have it back. Thank you!
Same me too! Had me doubting whether I had saved the original video in my playlist or not. Glad to find this reupload, saved in the playlist! I still remember some of the comments from the og one, this version is really good!
