To me, the mood of this piece isn’t pure joy and celebration; but also has a suspenseful/warning undertone in it. It seems like it is heralding a time/event that was long anticipated and everyone is optimistic, yet it later turns out to be a disappointment or disaster. It would have been an appropriate piece to play at dawn on New Year’s Day 2020.
@@rebecca8525 Interesting comment considering this piece is based on a work by Friedrich Nietzsche. Also, if you are not aware, the full piece is actually over 30 minutes long, you should listen to it sometime if you haven't, it has everything you mention in it, but does not end in disaster. Also, the introduction you are hearing here depicts a sunrise, the low rumble of the opening measures is clearly the darkness before the dawn.
I was a trumpetist for ten years when I broke my arm. To still be part of the orchestra, I joined the percussion for the next concert to do some simple things. I can tell you, waiting two minutes to smash a gong or symbal was the most stress I ever had during a concert.
nah-uuh, Mahler's Brass Choral. It builds throughout the entire symphony, but the Brass Choral itself (at 5th movement of the 2nd Symphony) is like 3 minutes.
Except that this is just the opening section, and the whole piece lasts a good 30 minutes! This part is the only section most people know, thanks to 2001.
@@dan-us6nk Thanks for tipping me off to this piece, I wasn't familiar with it before. I've tried getting into Mahler before but it's never really reached me. This Brass Chorale reminds me a bit of Pines of Rome/Appian Way by Respighi.
1:33 It may seem to many people that the participation of the cymbal guy is something simple and easy but I say that their participation is of extreme importance and it takes a lot of sensitivity and precision to beat the cymbal at the right time. The perfect cincronism of cymbal explosion with metals is that it puts all emotion in the end. If the beat is anticipated or delayed, it puts everything to waste. It was cold and accurate, like a sniper.
Yes! I've seen another performance of this piece, and they don't seem to focus on - or emphasize - the cymbals as much. I love how the spotlight is on the cymbalist as well as the very deserving timpanist. 😊❤
The percussionist was in a band from the age of 5, youth orchestras all through primary and secondary school, a performance major as an undergraduate, then a PhD in music theory. So yes, he was prepared for that moment.
One of the most awe-inspiring openings to a work of music ever written. Kubrick always made impeccable choices in his soundtracks and this one for 2001 is indelible.
I've listened to dozens of versions of Also Sprach Zarathustra, and this one is by far the best. The timing is perfect, the timpani spot on and the enthusiasm of the cymbalist is incredible.
1:26 The way Dudamel pitter-patters a bit and his face that says "Now lets fuck this up!" ... Beyond that amazing performance. What a crystal clear sound. Amazeballs.
...This is the kind of performance that every human being has to hear live at least once in his lifetime. Thank you M. Kubrik to let me know this masterpiece when i was 8 years old.
Ich leide an schweren Depressionen aber das ist so geil einfach, dass ich bei dem ganzen Stück Gänsehaut und Tränen hatte!!! Danke Richard Strauss, Danke Orchester!!
Imagine how much better weddings would be if people walked down the aisle to this. Graduations, weddings, every instance where we typically play classical music would be so much better.
Wow. Gänsehaut pur - und es geht richtig unter die Haut. So viel besser als Nietzsches Textvorlage. Toller Dirigent, tolles Orchester. 7 Sterne von mir!
The percussionist really has to nail it with his final cymbal splash. He is up against a 75 piece orchestra and organ pulling out all the stops, pun intended. A masterful direction, from pianissimo to fortissimo with the diminuendo and crescendo on the final chord. I wonder what Strauss would think seeing his music under the movie's opening. ( Gotta feel for the trumpeters in front of the cymbals! )
My Father was a huge fan of 2001 ASO and when he wasn't on duty at the base or working in a hardware store.....on Saturday mornings he'd sneak out to the living room and BLAST that piece of music to wake everyone up!
This have also been one of my favorite pieces of music. Also brings tears to my eyes. I always have random points in my life where i feel the need to search snd listen to this so I can rejuvenate myself
The conductor is on fire, the composition is flawless. Herd this for the first time on an elementary school field trip to the symphony in '79. Later when seeing the opening of 2001 a space oddessy.
You really don't appreciate how well recorded this is until you're right infront of a capable sound system with a flat response and the right power amplifiers behind it to give the "oomph". It gives you goosebumps. Can't even imagine how this sounds performed live.
@@totolias2010 well…i am a Chrsitian and I don’t think so (dispite the fact that i do not agree with Nietsche; He has not all the truth about God; it’s only an atheist man thought)

That organ in the end, lasting solo when percussion cease... by that bit you can clearly see Zimmer searched deep into this piece when working on Interstellar. And with good reason, the whole thing payed a giant hommage to 2001.

Do you not see the precision skill with which the cymbalist angles his instruments to diffuse the sound properly into the air after making such precise contact? He's more skilled at the cymbals then you'll ever be at anything in your life. He's PAID to play the cymbals, and he's worth the extravagant cost. I'm kind of serious.
