"And what do you do for a living?" "I'm a percussionist for the Danish National Symphony." "Which instruments do you play?" "Well,, tonight I'm going to throw bags of bolts into a bucket, hit chimes with a claw hammer, crinkle bubble wrap, splash water in a bowl, and occasionally scream." "And how many years did you study at the conservatory to do that?"
I am just stunned and amazed by these cartoon pieces. I can't imagine how difficult this must be from a technical standpoint for these musicians to play these extremely complicated pieces. All the different chord and timing changes and weird sound effects. I used to watch these cartoons as a kid, and it is just WOW to see this performed by a world class orchestra. I never understood what went into making these musical pieces; which I used to call "cartoon songs". Highest praise to these talented people.
The studio musicians back then were from the most highest caliber. They had to perfect it on sight with no prior rehearsals. Not only that, but it was a very small sized orchestra compared to this one and yet they managed to fool us with their grand sound and performance! If I remember what Scott said, I think it was only 25 players.
Many of the musicians of that era were European Klezmer musicians who were to a large extent just jazzing up their repertoire. A large amount of cartoon music is also classical based, since there were no copyright royalties.
The presenter/host of this concert told that the musicians back then often called in sick when they had to record music for Tom and Jerry because it was often a complicated piece 😊
It's soooooo much fun watching these piece of music made for the shorts and to see an Orchestra while it's been played. Plus the whole like you said hearing and seeing those guys doing the sound effects and screams is is wild.
I can't believe such a jovial tune can make me cry. That opening theme was my childhood. 🥰 I and my late grandpa would watch Tom and Jerry together on weekends. Old man loved nothing more than Western movies and Tom and Jerry.
THIS IS MAKING ME CRY!!!! THE INTRO REALLY REMINDED ME OF HOW I USED TO ALWAYS GET EXCITED TO WATCH TOM & JERRY WHENEVER I HEAR THE INTRO STARTS PLAYING ON THE TV
This was arranged by John Wilson and first performed by the John Wilson Orchestra at the 2013 Proms. Fun fact: Lou Raderman, concertmaster of the MGM Concert Orchestra who performed all the music on the "classic" Tom & Jerry cartoons mockingly complained that ""Scott writes the most blank-blank-blank difficult fiddle music in Hollywood … He is going to break my fingers!"
My heart bursts with joy. I cry when listening to such a masterful masterpiece. It is wonderful to remember Tom and Jerry with such exceptional music. Applause for the entire Orchestra. Thank you very much for giving us this beautiful thing. 🤗🎼🎶🎶✨️👏👏
We have been following the DNSO for years thru RUclips. Last year we moved to Denmark, and precisely this was the first ever play we attended, the sole sight of the Koncerthuset brought us to tears. The show was magnificent and an emotional rollercoaster. I'm so grateful by the chance we had to be there
This is amazing! When I close my eyes when hearing this, I can see them running and sneaking around in my mind again! Thanks Koncerthuset, for bringing back a childhood memory!
What absolute fever dream this arrangement was, incredible! Props to the percussionists going a mile a minute playing the skillet, dishes, slide whistle and about anything else you can think of 🤯
It is such a bliss to hear you, I was a kid once again, watching mischievous Tom trying to catch smartass Jerry. I loved the snores and noises of Tom getting scalded, hit and who knows what else😂, this is incredible.
This is the first time I saw this Music being played in front of me, Usually I used to hear watching Cartoons ... I had to stand up, and Salute to all of guys in there performing .. What a difficult task .. A big "BRAVO" for all of them . Love you all, from Pakistan .
Was a flashback moment for me listening to this..... Another opus in the soundtrack of my life, heard every Saturday morning 50 years ago.... Thank you Danish National Symphony!!!!
Oh, to be young again on a Saturday morning... Let me wipe away the tears of joy. If a video of this amazing orchestra performed the Jonny Quest theme, I could die tomorrow a *very* happy man.
This is absolutely extraordinary; the composition itself and this performance are beyond any known adjectification. My deepest gratitude to DR Koncerthuset - the musicians, the Maestro Christian Schumann, and the audio/video professionals (and, of course, Mr Scott Bradley) - for this unparalleled streaming.
I can't believe what I just saw and heard. For those of us of a certain age this is such an amazing treat. It's absolutely brilliant. THANK YOU for this!!!
This arrangement was created by Peter Morris and John Wilson for the John Wilson Orchestra, featured here on youtube for the 2013 BBC Proms. There is an extensive description for the video. The music was taken from 8 different epsiodes: Smitten Kitten, Sufferin' Cats, The Framed Cat, Cat Fishin' Just Ducky, Jerry and Jumbo, The Cat Comes to Dinner and Mouse for Sale
Danimarka Ulusal Senfoni Orkestrasını saygıyla alkışlıyorum. Sürekli dinlediğim bir orkestra. Burada çizgi film müziklerinin karmaşıklığı çok farklı enstrümanın aynı anda zamanlamalarını tutturması, parçayı hiç akışı bozmadan çalmalarını ağzım açık dinledim. Ne kadar zor bir işmiş çizgi film müziği devam ettirmek. Hiç bu açıdan görmemiştim. Çizgi film diyerek geçtiğimiz eğlencenin arkasında aslında ne büyük sanat ustaları varmış. Hepsini tek tek saygıyla selamlıyor ve alkışlıyorum. Umarım bir gün sizi canlı izlemek nasip olur. Harikasınız emeğinize sağlık umarım değeriniz biliniyordur.
I keep coming back to this, every couple of weeks and love it even more each time. What makes it so enjoyable is watching the members of the orchestra, who seem to be having the time of their lives. This is 100% perfect! Thanks so much! 😹👍🏼🐭👍🏼
One of the reasons I love going back and watching the classics is because of their scores. They tell the story without the characters even having to speak.
Oh my God I'm crying!!! This was fantastic! ❤❤❤ I wish I could see them live!! Maybe some day they will come to the US? I would listen to anything they play. They give me goosebumps! PS: The percussion guys are outstanding!!! Bubble wrap??? 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I doubt they will ever travel since they are the Danish National Symphony. I enjoy all their videos so much that, after years of watching them, I traveled from Ohio to Copenhagen just to see the "Raiders of the Symphony" concert last month. It was awesome. The inside of the venue is so much nicer than you can see in these videos. I don't know if the experience was worth the cost of international airfare, hotel, etc. just to see a concert, but I'm glad I did it. PS. We did stay an entire week in Denmark, went to Legoland, saw the sites, etc. So, DRK was not the only thing we experienced, but it was the reason we went.
@@nanorider426Thank you! Yes, I really, *really* enjoyed Denmark. The people are so friendly and happy! The land is nice, and the politics are smart (at least to my perception during a short visit). You seem to actually care about climate change, you provide your citizens with health care, you pay students to attend free university, you provide for the homeless, etc. Returning home to USA felt like arriving in a third-world country.
@@nanorider426 "Visit Norway, Sweden" - Thanks for the suggestion. I want to do that. "We try." - Ah, yes. That is what I like. In the USA, corporations, wealthy elite, and [most] politicians just provide excuses on why we should not even try. It is sad.
For those curious, in the 1980's and 1990's, the division of the Danish National Broadcaster that handle kids and youths didn't have that much in their budgets, so they either improvised the shit out of amazing madness or they grabbed the cheapest licenses available on the market, which just so happens to be old classical American cartoons, so there's an entire generation of Danes that watch the shit out of Tom and Jerry and the rest of the old MGM/WB cartoons, because at that point, they weren't expensive to show at all.
Quando a gente vê a apresentação que só depois se dá conta do trabalho e esforço de sonorização e a diferença que isso faz em um filme, desenho, animação etc.
This music is incredibly difficult and was perfomed flawlessly by these fine musicians! But hats off also to the original composers, arrangers and orchestra members who played this material "live" during the MGM scoring sessions which very likely did not allow for long rehearsals and expensive retakes. "Done in a studio" does not give them enough credit, I believe.
me sacaron risas y lagrimas. recordando mi niñez, a pesar de que tom y jerry lo vieron hasta mis padres.... un classico que marco muchas generaciones, la musica maravillosa

People! I'm a child again! Thank you very much!
I feel the same. Makes me believe in people and kindness :)
Reminds me of the special time with my father, blissful childhood memories.

This was when a live orchestra actually played the theme songs and not the synthesized , green screen stuff of today.
I hadn't realized how intense that accompaniment music was until now.
How many of these artists were glued to their TVs watching this show as kids? How many of us?
Infinite
I can't believe such a jovial tune can make me cry.
That opening theme was my childhood. 🥰
I and my late grandpa would watch Tom and Jerry together on weekends. Old man loved nothing more than Western movies and Tom and Jerry.
Breaking dishes and screaming made me fall in love hahaha
Immediate flashbacks to every Saturday morning of my childhood in front of our black and white TV….Thank You!
THIS IS MAKING ME CRY!!!! THE INTRO REALLY REMINDED ME OF HOW I USED TO ALWAYS GET EXCITED TO WATCH TOM & JERRY WHENEVER I HEAR THE INTRO STARTS PLAYING ON THE TV
I can imagine the chaos!!! This must be so difficult! I wouldn't be able to hold me laugh😂😂
I visualised almost every scene from its music ❤

We need to salute the composer Scott Bradley. Its incredible how much wonderful music he has composed for cartoons

Aw❤ I am so happy for you and your family.
You can tell they were all having fun playing this piece.
This is amazing!

Thanks Koncerthuset, for bringing back a childhood memory!
You can tell they all were having fun performing this!
Recordar es vivir, maravilloso!!!!!! 😊
And this, ladies and gentlebeings, is why I STILL LOVE CLASSICAL MUSIC
I remember the Saturday morning cartoons well. I’ve passed this link onto all my grandchildren 😀❤️👍

Unforgettable music theme of a legendary cartoon.
I love it!
Thanks, DNSO.
This music takes me back to a happier time.

I can see every scene with perfect clarify just by listening to this music and sound effects!
Omg! Just fantastic! 😍
Glad you like it!
Stunned amazement. That is my present state. What a cavalcade of sheer musical talent. Truly world class and unmatched in the present day. Bravo.

One day, I will go to one of these shows and hear the magnificent oechestra orlf my beloved childhood cartoon♥️
One of the reasons I love going back and watching the classics is because of their scores. They tell the story without the characters even having to speak.
Man, there's so much George Gershwin vibe in this music! Tom and Jerry had some of the most insane big band jazz music ever!
Long live the legends who made it.
The incredible Scott Bradley!
Looks like they enjoyed playing that music. I enjoyed it also.
Anybody got emotional hearing this its so many people’s childhood 🥲
It sounds AMAZING!
ALOT of RUclips vids of orchestras doin the soundtrack..
None that I have found yet that sound this good...
Crystal clear..!!
Great performance and an impeccable recording.
I smiled and laughed the whole time BRAVO!!!!
Fantastico !! Bravissimi !! Percussionisti incredibili +++++ Un saluto dall'Italia !!
This is exactly like the cartoon! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 well done!! Brilliant performance! Thanks for sharing!!!

When someone ask how a orchestra and a musician should be show this video, what satch amazing skills.
The legendary Tom and Jerry 🥲🥲❤
Loving all the things the percussion section were doing 😅
Absolutely brilliant you really would think that your watching Tom and Jerry 💕💕👍
This gets me so emotional!❤
So characteristic themes from the cartoon.Our childhood music .❤
Oh my God I'm crying!!! This was fantastic! ❤❤❤ I wish I could see them live!! Maybe some day they will come to the US? I would listen to anything they play. They give me goosebumps!

A Piccolo snare drum! Fabulous 🙂 Amazing Orchestration and audio mixing too. This is one impressive group of fantastic players.
the sounds make me picture what tom and Jerry would do in the show.

Beautiful!
Awesome performance and sound. Listen with headphones Beyerdynamic 1990 pro and DAC Fiio K7. Thank you.
To realise that cartoons were all about music too.. 😮 ❤
Thank you for keeping our childhood awesome
Amazing! Worderfull!!
I love Tom and Jerry ❤❤❤
I'm amazed how it was made 😨❤️
Absolutos genios totales!!!! Amo la DNSO ❤❤❤❤❤
if you close your eyes, you can watch the episodes, even if it is multiple episodes
The sound of childhood
Magnifique!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent !!!!!! ❤
This shows how everything can be used for music.
Tom and Jerry definitely approve ☝️🥰
I've waited for THIS!!
This is so brilliant. Love it.
I am glad to be subscribed. Missing this would have been a big mistake.
Omg magic
Very good decision friends, spreading good vibes is never enough, you are saving lives indeed❤
Reminds me of my childhood!
Close your eyes and you can watch the cartoon in your head with the music
Very cool i could picture the cartoon thru the music
Remembering my childhood and seeing how drawings were made
Just the video I've been waiting for!
