When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for Schindler’s List he showed him an early cut of the movie. Williams stood up and walked out of the screening room. He came back in a few minutes later crying and said “you need someone better than me to write music for this.” And Spielberg said “I know, but everyone better than you is dead.”
there are also very few directors who understand the use of music as an integral part of the film experience the way that Spielberg does. put Spielberg and Williams together and if you don't get a masterpiece you STILL get a film that's better than 90% of what's put out there.
@@raymondxia228 while also saying he does in fact need someone better than him but given that the people he would prefer are dead, he is the best that will do
The lady wasn't crying over the music, she was crying because she never thought she'd be able to preform again because of a brain issue. She was not only able to preform but did so with her daughter watching on. I'm only pointing this out because a lot of people are missing out on this beautiful moment. (All this information can be found in the description of the video) P.S to the person who said my English is bad, thank you I guess? And to anyone else reading this I hope you have a wonderful day and life :)
@@Gismo869 Ja das stimmt. Zudem verpflichteten sich alle Sender den Film immer auch mit gesamtem Abspann zu zeigen. English: Yes that is true. The TV stations also agreed to always broadcast the movie in its entirety including the whole credits at the end.
The English Horn player has MS and her illness was progressing. This was the last time she was able to play with the orchestra. Her 18 year old daughter is the blonde girl in the audience. Totally moving and she put her whole life into this final piece 😢
I am crying for the first time in years after listening to this piece of art, I really cannot express the true scale of my appreciation towards all the musicians, especially the oboe player, I am so sorry for her loss, Godspeed to her.
When Steven Spielberg first showed John Williams a cut of this movie, Williams was so moved he had to take a walk outside for several minutes to collect himself. Upon his return, he told Spielberg he deserved a better composer. Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."
You really hope a story like that is true. Williams is a modern day master that simply isn't appreciated enough in the 'download' era. If Beethoven or Mozart or any of the greats had composed this then they would have been lauded.
@@anyoldironhammer8723 this is possibly the most well known piece of orchestral music written in the last 50 years, alongside all of John Williams' other work. There's literally nothing unappreciated about John Williams
This story IS true, John Williams told it himself on his AFI Lifetime Achivement Award. The truth is: Steven Spielberg couldn't take a better composer than JW for this movie!! A genius!
I watched Schindler's List twice in my life - once in the cinema with my school class (as a student, not as a teacher) - and the second time as an adult, because I wanted to make sure I could process the movie with the thoughts of an adult. When I watched it as a teen with my class, I felt ashamed afterwards - ashamed of being German. In the same month when we went to cinema to watch Schindler's List, maybe a week or two after we watched the movie, we got a visitor in school. His name was Alex Deutsch - he was a survivor of Auschwitz. He told us about it. I felt even more ashamed. Especially double so because my grandfather was a member of the Waffen SS. I asked Mr. Deutsch if I could shake his hand. I told him that I was sorry. He answered that it was his pleasure to shake my hand and that I had no reason to be sorry, because I wasn't even born when it all happened and had no part in it. I'm incredibly thankful to have been able to shake this mans hand. Years later, when I watched the movie for the second (and last time) I realized that it was up to me, up to us all who are adults today to make sure nothing like this could ever happen again. I made peace with myself. I made peace with my grandfather - even if he was part of that system, to me he was just my grandfather. And I loved him dearly and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I wouldn't try to find a reasoning for what he might have done in the war - IF he did something that goes beyond the duty of a normal soldier, then it is like it is and I'm not responsible for that. Because I wasn't even born at that time. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE anymore for what happened back then. But WE ARE RESPONSIBLE for what happens now. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE to make sure NO ONE EVER FORGETS ABOUT IT. We are allowed to live free from guilt - remembrance DOES NOT EQUAL guilt. It took me years to realize that. I do my very best every day to make sure it won't ever happen again. I can only hope that there are enough people left in Germany who think like me to make sure it never happens again.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me. "First they came ..." is the poetic form of a prose post-war confession first made in German in 1946 by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller. It's an extract. My father was shot in the Second World War at Dunkirk. He wasn't bitter and never spoke a bad word about the Germans.
I highly commend you for your conveying, in the most heartfelt and beautiful way, your thoughts over seeing this movie, being of German heritage and the impact it had on you. And if I may, you don’t have to capitalize your words to stress the importance of what your saying, your words speak volumes. Thank you!
I think this is exactly the way that chapter of human history should be viewed, especially for Germans. You're not at fault for what your ancestors did. Never forget.
my dad passed away yesterday. a minute after he died..I put this music for him..hoping he was still being able to listen to what is happening around him. i hope it made his passing away easier.
My son died because of the bloody war bigan in Ukraine. I always listen to this music and remember his smile. I remember how he was kind, smart and beautiful
when Schindler's list came out in the cinemas I went with my then Girlfriend to see it. I was about 19. The film really shocked me. At the end when the credits started to go up no one left their seats. Literally everyone was crying and couldn't stand up. Afterwards I told my girlfriend that I thought it was good the entire film was in black and white. She then asked me "was it in black and white". The story in the film was so strong that she never even noticed.
My grandfather died in the Buchenwald concentration camp. The pain of people who lost their loved ones in this nightmare is known to my family. And watching the movie Schindler's List, hearing this melody, we always remember our relatives. None of the dead should be forgotten. As long as we remember, our loved ones are alive. Excuse my English, please.
As a German it always deeply saddens me to see comments that deny what happened around 80 years ago. Its sad that our nation was and still is stained by these events, I'm glad to say that my great-Grandfather was himself not a Nazi but he killed, every man, woman and indeed child he killed had parents ,sons ,daughters ,mothers and fathers. He was always ashamed of what he did, never spoke about the crimes he committed to his children. As an example in 1944 his company had taken control of a Polish village, he was an Oberst (colonel) so a high field rank. His unit was meant to make the village defense ready. Around 3 weeks after his transferral here the Soviet lines were drawing closer. A Waffen-SS division entered the town around about then. They had received orders to kill any civilians who were deemed partisan worthy. Using his high rank he protested yet his protest failed as the order had been dictated by none other than Heinrich Himmler. The SS unit left the town but my Great-Grandfather had to complete his orders. Unfortunately he also had a large bond with the villagers, he spoke Polish, French, English and Russian fluently, and killing them would take a large mental toll on him. This occurrence would stay with him for years and according to my Great-Grandmother he would often have nightmares of it. During the ensuing battle in the village he would be hit by shrapnel and captured by soviet forces. in 1951 he would return home.
I want to share something with all of you that holds dear to me and my family. It's about my grandfather and his two best friends who went off to war. My grandfather served in Vietnam with his two best friends Rigo and Carlos. My grandfather didn't have any brothers but he looked at Rigo and Carlos as his own brothers. Not knowing English they were from a poor town in Puerto Rico. They grew up since they were 7 and would play outdoors daily, helping elders with their needs, from what my father told me. He mentioned they were always together. My dad was told by my grandfather before he left for Vietnam that he's going with Rigo y Carlos and to not worry cause they will all be back home together soon. When the war was over my grandfather came home by himself alone. My grandfather never talked about the actions that took place. He was hated called a baby killer, a rapist, a murderer. Years have gone by he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's' and had to stay in a nursing home. When I and my twin brother visit him opening the door, he's just staring out the window with his blanket over his shoulders. We would pull up by his side and greet him and kiss his cheek and He would just tear up sobbing saying "Rigo y Carlos estás aquí, ¿cómo estás aquí? (Rigo and Carlos your here how are you here) He doesn't remember me and my brother so we just pretend we are Rigo and Carlos. in 2020 of May he had passed away and when we went to his home to clean up we had found an old journal he had shared writing with Rigo and Carlos of what happened during in Vietnam. They took turns writing and 22 pages after Rigo wasn't writing anymore and Carlos stopped writing after page 37. My grandfather continued to write but his handwriting wasn't clear and the pages were wet from raindrops or tears and there was soo much pain through the whole journal. There wasn't any more writing but on the very last page with my grandfather's old childhood picture with Carlos and Rigo smiling when they were kids, it said "Nuestra bandera no vuela al viento, vuela con el último aliento de cada uno de los que hemos muerto y protegido por ella". (Our flag doesn't fly do to the wind, it flies with the last breathes of every single one of us who has died and protected it) Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I remember when my wife and I decided to see Schindler's list at the movie theater. We avoided seeing it for a while because we knew how difficult it would be, and how emotional we would get because our ancestors were from eastern Europe, and we had likely lost relatives in the Holocaust. So, we decided to travel far from our home to a cinema in a rural area where we wouldn't know anyone and most people likely had no connection to the Holocaust. The one thing I will never forget was right after the movie ended...you could hear a pin drop as people silently and slowly made their way out of the theater. There was no talking, no looking around, just people staring straight ahead and in deep thought. That was just the confirmation my wife and I needed; that we are all in this thing called life together, and that our ability to care for each other, to empathize with each other, and to help each other will be the glue that binds us and assures a future of peace and compassion for generations to come.
Your comment has restored faith in goodness of human spirit and shared positivity in these troubled times. I experienced this film many years ago. Tthere was a pin drop silence when the black & white shot of the Jews morphed into the present day ones walking to pay respects to Schindler. As the movie ended, the audience went on an ovation as if by an unseen switch while i could not hold back tears. How much one man and one small thing mean to so many!
Crystal clear to see (if you are able to see) that at this point it ment the world to her, i from a gypsy musician family so I see..., 😉😭 we say.... Es ist dass Leiden das schafft dass Leidenschaft entfacht.
The woman: Davida Scheffers has a painful neuromuscular condition which disrupted her career as a musician. Despite her fear that she might never be able to play with a professional orchestra again, Davida’s dream was to play with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra. And last year, she managed it. In a performance with the orchestra, Davida managed to play the entire cor anglais solo from John Williams’ Schindler’s List theme, before bursting into tears during Simone Lamsma’s violin solo. It was a powerful moment that affected both the audience and orchestra. Look out for Davida’s daughter in the audience, who had just turned 18 that day. Well done, Davida - what a remarkable achievement!
And here we all were, thinking she was crying for her Holocaust casualties... whne it was all really about personal ambition. And she's a hero for it. The world in a nutshell.
@@nilssundblad1637 We don’t know why she cried. It was emotional. Music is meant to stir emotions. I do have to ask though… why did you say her Holocaust casualties?
It doesn’t matter what kind of music you like; hip hop, techno, disco, country, salsa, whatever. You should always have an appreciation for a beautiful orchestral composition.
When I was a child I went to take an afternoon tea at my grandmother's friend home. Our host was an elegant old lady and thus I asked her with astonishment why she had a number tatoed on her arm. She tenderly answered me "You are too young to understand now, my friend, I'll tell you about the story of this tattoo when you'll be older". I never saw her again but when I learned what the tattoo was I cried. She probably has passed away now but I often remember her.
The lady playing the woodwind has a painful neurological disease and thought she would never play in an orchestra again. It was also her Daughter's 18th Birthday. Such beautiful and emotional music from such an evil time in history. I'm of Dutch background and have been to Europe to see where this evil took and lay testament to Dachau near Munich. It is real, it was real, the Holocaust really happened. I come back and listen to pay tribute to all the lives lost during this evil time in History. I cry each time I hear this music.
The thing about beauty is that it can be found anywhere you look even in places you might not expect. Even the most ugly thing can birth from it something of beauty.
Second time I've watched this, so I knew how it was going to end. Yet, again, I'm crying. Davida's emotion here, her daughters too, and that violin solo...you really feel the ultimate despair of not only the Jewish people, but the lives of the Roma, the disabled, the sick, the old, the gays/homosexuals, POW's, all the people the Reich fervently believed should die in the most depraved and sadistic manner all because they weren't "physically and genetically perfect/didn't fit into their master race" all of this is given words in music, when there are no words. Thank you for uploading this.
when Steven Spielberg encountered John Williams to score the movie, Williams said: I can't do it! You need someone better... Spielberg answered: I know, but they're all dead.
I'd say the violin is the cries of the children, the oboe represents the adults and the rest of the orchestra are accents of the millions. Each slightly different all encompassing into one horrible event, united by there faith eliminated because of it 😢. The event conducted by evil, mad men who required a scape goat to hide their own selfish deplorable actions behind, may they burn in hell. Should innocents warrant such hate, no. If you ever have a problem with an individual, resolve it with them. Do not tarnish others who resemble them or are affiliated with them. Look to Jim Jefferies Hate breeds Hate sketch.
Every time I listen to this music I feel like I’m slowly suffocating from how beautiful it is. The music makes my flesh feel like it’s burning to ashes and then smoked out into the heavens. Bravo John Williams. Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱
Молодцы девочки 👏 У многих в этом мире жизнь не "сахар". Пытался держаться , просто послушать , вновь , музыку , но не выдержал , расплакался . Умницы !!!! Браво композитору !!!!
“Who ever saves one life, saves the world entire." “I could have got more out. I could've got more. If i just... I could've got more.” “Oskar there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you, look at them!…” Absolutely amazing movie. now watching this, knowing the story of Davida and what she is going through during this performance…. I can’t help but get emotional.
Especially if you’re a wind player or vocalist.. you can emote all you want but if you actually start feeling it too much and cry, it affects your breath control. It’s hard playing emotional pieces like this. You’re making the audience cry but have to hold it in yourself for your best performance 🥹

She's not crying because of the music or what the song means, she's crying because she was finally given a chance to play in an orchestra despite her disability.
John Williams is a brilliant composer who can swing emotions with every note. His partnership with Steven has delivered sublime art to billions of humans.
@@agm9525 Greetings from Central Europe. I agree 100%. Recently I have been listening to Williams music for movies. As brilliant as Schindler's List is, the rest of it suffers from a certain fragmentation. By alternating tense and muted passages, which are impressive, but do not form an arc together, they do not form a whole. The compositions do not "hold together", they have a scattered architecture. As if Schindler's List was written by someone else.
What it actually was like in the end can only be told by those who actually experienced it. We don't know whether everything really happened like that at all times in every concentration camp. Because there were enough statements from the Russians claiming the opposite. Likewise, there were many American soldiers who said that the way it was told was not true. and also diaries and reports from guards in the concentration camps contradict what most claim. I don't want to say that it wasn't like that, but you can't confirm that it was like that, because the winners tell the story. Because there were also survivors who said that they had to live in barracks and only had enough to eat so that they didn't die, that the hygiene was a catastrophe, but that they were still treated well given the circumstances@@LaurentValette1234
Egyébként ;Többet is megmenthettem volna.. Azonkívűl igencsak sajnálatos, hogy az írott műtől(Thomas Kanally:Schindler bárkája) a film készítői jó néhány esetben eltértek. Azonkívűl nem mentegetni akarom a német nemzetet, de a világ simán benyeli(sic) a törökök által, 1915-ben másfél millió örmény legyilkolását, az USA atombombáját, az USA által, az őslakos indiánok, szinte teljes megsemmisítését, valamint 40ezer magyar, a szerbek általi meggyilkolását a ll.világháború végén. Ezekről a hallgat ez a mocskos, szemforgató hazug világ. Természetesen én mindet elítélem.
Pour la petite histoire, si Davida Scheffers est émue aux larmes c’est, d’une part, dû à l’émotion transmise dans la musique, mais surtout parce qu’étant atteinte d’une maladie neuromusculaire grave, qui avait mis fin à sa carrière musicale des années auparavant, elle ne pensait pas être capable de rejoindre un orchestre et encore moins de jouer un solo.
It’s the clarinet that gets me. The piece played and the player. You played magnificently. The beauty of music is that it lives on, this video will as well. 😢
The ending of the movie really got me, when he started crying saying that he could have done more. Legendary movie man, Liam Neeson did an amazing job.
I always thought that was the part where they screwed up! With Liam Nielsen overdoing it. It didn't seem to be in keeping with his cool, sober character. He just suddenly lost it.
@ED JOAQUIN S. CASTRO I mean I still think that we can try to educate ourselves first, then others as much as we can. But yeah, sometimes it’s too late. Cause people don’t realize that we aren’t educating enough and preventing enough until it’s too late.
well, it's definitely repeating again while we still clearly remember the holocaust we all ignoring the new holocaust that the Chinese government is committing against Uyghurs. It is just so pathetic, what happened to the NEVER AGAIN slogan? humanity keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again we learned nothing from it.
It just feels so unreal, that atrocity happened less than 100 years ago. I can't fathom the pain and suffering those folks went through, particularly the emotional and psychological pain. God rest them, and God bless Schindler and others like him. 🙏🙏
@jeremydann not jews. The killers that are committing the same atrocities that were done to their ancestors decades ago. And many jews do not condone the genocide that is currently happening in Gaza. There are jews and then there are radicalists. The ones committing murder are not jews.
@@yousefalshiekh4074 really? We brought this on ourselves? Try counting how many Nobel prizes in all the categories have gone to Jews. Try looking at all the inventions both technology and medical wise come from Jews and then tell me we didn’t choose to do good. Considering that Jews are one of the smallest minorities in the world .2% of the world population, you cannot accuse them of “not doing good”
I cannot remember now how many times I have watched this beautiful, poignant video stream - for both the exquisite music as well as Ms Scheffers artistry. This music, in the film obviously, as well as this stream, always evokes deep emotion. It is not often one can watch raw, powerful human emotion expressed so viscerally. The emotion on Ms Scheffers daughters face, her own face, and that of the orchestra is profound. Thank you for being one (of the many?) that posted it here for the rest of us.
The amount of emotion these people show while playing is arguably the best thing about this entire performance. The combination of the music and mostly the emotions just force me to cry, it's incredible.
@@cursed434 "Cor anglais player Davida Scheffers has a painful neuromuscular condition which disrupted her career as a musician.

В первую очередь нужно сказать:,,Гениально!",- композитору Джону Уильямсу,который написал эту мелодию к фильму Список Шиндлера.Он один из двух величайших композиторов фильмографистов.Второй - Ханс Циммер.Это произведение исполняют многие музыканты,но эффект один и тот же, слёзы, слёзы и сердце сжимается в комок, потому что сразу перед глазами кадры из фильма.Да,и без фильма музыка потрясающая,но,видевший фильм страдает вдвойне...
My eleven year old grandson played this piece for his first recital on the violin. As young as he is, he got the essence of the piece and I can see him playing this piece with greater passion each time he plays it. I am indeed proud.
That violin cries and sobs in the face of that enormous tragedy and all the tragedies that afflict the world of yesterday and today. Thank you, John Williams, for this heartbreaking, soul-awakening music!
This incredible music score entirely left it’s genre and became true classical music of the highest standard. John Williams is an absolute master. This is so deep and beautiful. It makes my heart sad and glad at the same time. And the execution is so lovely.
John Williams is a genius. When Steven approached him to do the score for Schindler's List, he responded "You need a better composer than I for this film." And Steven replied "You're right, but they're all dead!"
@@rbweinbaum1 pretty sure that Morricone would have done a fantastic job, but I believe that Spielberg said that to Williams as a compliment since he is also one of the very best musicians in modern history.
Every time this tune plays.... I remeber my grandfather who has been prisoner in a german camp... The first time he heard it, started to cry.... He said something i'll never forget... "Don't be afraid of none but the human being. Human being could become as brutal as a beast. There ain't no creature in the whole world you must be afraid of"... He was right... That violin cryin', everytime bring back that words to memory..... So tears start to shed....
probably one of the most emotional pieces of music we will ever hear. This world is on a downward trajectory, I am so thankful to see and hear this. Thankyou. so much.
I have never seen the musicians so moved by what they were playing. This was literally breathtaking. I had to remember to keep breathing in the middle.
@@romanianhustler3309You do not have to be a soy to have a heart. The songs is about tragedy and loss, have respected, especially to the song and for the victims she represents

My wife has MS and this disease is ruthless. She has had it now almost 30 years. Davida gave an awesome, tear jerking performance. I wish they could get a cure for this disease. The world needs beautiful music from her for much longer. Best Wishes, Davida. You play beautifully.
And all healing vibes to you, John Rose, the co-patient, and to your wife. You are both heroes in my book. Beautiful piece of music- thank s to you All.
The oboist’s tears are a testament to the genius of composers like Williams, Zimmer, Silvestri, and Steiner as well as the sorrow embedded within the notes of this score.
Her tears seem a mix of both joy and sorrow; joy that she is able, finally, to play this beautiful solo, and sorrow for both the topic and the years she was not able to play.
Ahhh, thanks Brian! I discovered this video only a couple of days ago, and have watched it several times, each time with tears in my eyes. But I had NOT caught the significance of the red dress till I saw your comment just now! Such a poignant, moving reminder! (Note to everyone: that significance will be meaningful only to those who have seen the film.)
Not sure of what's behind your "?Movie?" comment. Does it imply that you are not aware that Schindler's List is a Spielberg movie about the Holocaust? It was filmed in black and white. One extremely moving scene showed a very young Jewish girl who, with the only color in the entire film, was wearing a red dress. It was clear that she, along with many other Jews in the scene, was being herded to her death.
I love this piece. Is John Williams a treasure. the violin solo is very difficult. Expressing the correct emotion while not rushing it. She did a pretty good job. The English horn player had the emotional depth perfect 👌
My now deceased Dad fought in both WW11 and the Korean War. He witnessed the liberation of Dauhau Concentration Camp. He never got over the atrocities and cruelty of the treatment of millions of innocent people. He would never talk about it because it was too painful for him. When he did mention it to my sisters and I, he would tear up. What a horrendous time in our history.
My dad was a young boy when he sat on the tenement steps of his house and listened to his aunt, who escaped from Poland, and described the atrocities she saw. My dad never talked about what he heard, he was so deeply affected by it.
Time to get out that history book (hey, I just finished a 600 page book on the start of WW1.) I am exhausted. Anyway in ww2 it was Roosevelt/Churchill/Stalin who saved us from the Nazis (and the generals and the men, of course). As far as Stalin goes, he proved the old adage 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'. At least until the war was won.
Listening to this musical masterpiece is what made me feel what violinists would refer to as "When the violin cries out" because they really genuinely sound like the cries and wails of the souls of whom the music is captured in. Such a beautiful composition.
She's not crying because of the music or what the song means, she's crying because she was finally given a chance to play in an orchestra despite her disability.
You’re exactly right. The violin like no other instrument can sing. It can convey joy, romance, torment, suffering, and every other emotion that is in the soul!
This may be the most hauntingly beautiful music ever composed. The musicians did a wonderful job - especially the solo violin and the oboe. So beautiful.
I recently went to a string Quartet evening in London and this piece stood out a mile.The way it builds and the picture it creates is hauntingly beautiful.
@@usmanturnbull5216 Hitler killed more than 6 million Jews.

@rach d It makes sense because the music is not that great. I mean I'm sure she knows a lot about classical music and this is not one of the songs that makes you cry. It is just one violin that sounds sad.
@@pepitobenegas what do you man not that great? It's absolutely wonderfully composed. All the dynamic, the way the parts lap over each other. Wonderful. I play in an orchestra and have I cried a few times as the feeling can sometimes overwhelming when you are just putting your emotions into the music.
@@tobieeck9676 This song is very simple. Sorry but it is not on the level of the greatest composers. Commercial Hollywood stuff that claims to be emotional for people who just listen to a sad violin played along sad images of a sad historical event.
And imagine this is the guy who composed the soundtrack to Star Wars (plus pieces for many, many other films). Holy shit. What variety. We are blessed to have him among us.
John Williams : “I said to Steven, ‘I really think you need a better composer than I am for this film.’ And he very sweetly said, ‘I know, but they’re all dead.’”
I read in an interview that John Williams feels the emotion from the scene before he composes the musical piece. That's how he's able to put it together so perfectly. Listen to the music from a lot of other movies he composed for. You'll notice he has that distinct style.
Just thought I'd thrown an english comment in here as well. Amazing that this piece has been heard and felt by people from all walks of life. Powerful.
Пока живёт эта музыка, пока плачут люди от избытка эмоций, жизнь будет продолжаться. Надо просто помолчать, слушать, плакать и молиться! Тому, кто поместил это видео - земной поклон!

Watched this performance today and I am absolutely engrossed in how such a tragic event in ww2 resulted in what must be the saddest music that was played with such emotion by all the orchestra especially Davida. Such an incredible performance
I've struggled all my life with anxiety and depression and am now on massive amounts of medication, this piece of music is so beautiful, but so sad. I've just finished crying after 20 minutes, and I felt better, like a massive relief of pressure. But.. I feel sad that I feel ok because of all the horrible things this piece of music stands for. I can't explain, but I'm just emotional. I shall watch again and again till I can get it into my brain that my problems are nothing compared to the horror and suffering that went on. Thanks for reading my gibberish, and may you all find happiness and love.
Can you identify what is that made you feel what you did? I have seen and known, witnessed, suffered and inflicted much pain, sorrow and Death without flinching. But this music and movie made even me weep. Not for the dead, they are beyond anything we do. But for the living and the children of those victims. The sheer volume of grief is almost unbearable for a single person only if we all carry that burden can we hope to end it so no one else ever needs shed those same tears again. My gibberish.
dear Tom, from my point of view, every personal problem is the biggest problem in the world. it`s no competition and your problems are not smaller or bigger than others. I wish you the best, take care of yourself.
Empathy can sometimes be a curse. Remember, it serves no purpose to compare your suffering to theirs. Your pain experiences and feelings are legitimate in their own right. Be gentle with yourself.
Dear tom I found myself in dark places many times for different reasons and then I would find situations were people have been in a worse place than me and I would try and feel their suffering and pain I would cry my eyes out for them and then my life didn't look so BAD . You have to feel the cold and the rain before you can enjoy the sunshine and feel sadness before you feel happiness.. I hope you find permanent happiness in your life TOM 🌿
I don‘t know who said it, but the quote: „nothing could suffer like a violin does“ is very right for this song. The perfect instrument for the musical message.
"I didn't do enough" "Why did I keep the car? Ten People Right there. Ten people... Ten more people..." "This pin. Two people. This is gold. He could have given me one, one more. One more person Stern... I could have gotten one more person and I didn't. I didn't..." - Oskar Schindler
Today my country went under military coup and our leaders were detained. I was listening this song for the whole day thinking about future days we're gonna pass through under dictatorship. I know it's not so related but I just want to say it. End all the dictators from this planet. Peace.
I was in an orchestra throughout the entirety of my high school career. I play violin. I shed a few tears during performances because it’s so loud and powerful and the vibrations travel right to the soul. The spotlights darkened all that lay beyond the stage and in that moment nothing else existed beside each note. It’s quite the experience and I miss it a lot.
I was able to watch the film twice, the second time there were parts when I closed my eyes, there were parts where I had to stop the screening because I was sobbing! Since I am very musically inclined, I couldn't even watch this musical production without tears. The solo violinist plays wonderfully.
we didn't click to watch this in 1080p I'll even watch it in 144p as a matter of fact. but why judge people? they're just performing to their best? what is there to judge about them. The only logical reason to view the video is to HEAR the Orchestra.
some people don't like to read; some people are not as empathic as the ones who liked the music; some might connect it to Schindlers List and dislike it, because they deny the Holocaust. Will we ever know why they gave a dislike and is it really important?
This is an absolute triumph of the soul. You don't have to be a Jew to be overwhelmed by the tremendous meaning of this magical piece, played expertly and meaningfully by world class musicians. L 'chaim. Shalom!
Every...note...of this piece is perfection. And usually the performances of it are focused on the violinist or cellist. I never had listened to it and noticed the oboe so much. This is just flawless-perfect performance from a genius of our time.
I keep watching this performance over and over again, coming back to to over and over again...and crying everytime (and I'm a guy! :-) Why? Becaude, John Williams' "Schindler's List" composition is genius, perfect for the movie's tragic melancholy story and also perfect for the cor anglais oboe performer, Davida Scheffers, tragic, inspiring story! Thank you for posting!
@Ididntdoit 1984 Liberalism is the same propaganda and lies that the Jewish Bolsheviks used in Soviet Union. The Bolsheviks murdered tens of millions by using the most brutal possible killing methods. Our sick malevolent Jewish leftist leaders support these kind of mass-murderers and their non-fact based ideologies.
“The darkness enveloped us. All I could hear was the violin, and it was as if Juliek’s soul had become the bow. He was playing his life. His whole being was gliding over the strings. His unfulfilled hopes. His charred past, his extinguished future. He played that which he never played again.” - Elie Wiesel, “Night”
When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for Schindler’s List he showed him an early cut of the movie. Williams stood up and walked out of the screening room. He came back in a few minutes later crying and said “you need someone better than me to write music for this.” And Spielberg said “I know, but everyone better than you is dead.”
A backhanded complement?
@@MrConsto He's saying he is the greatest composer currently living, lol.
there are also very few directors who understand the use of music as an integral part of the film experience the way that Spielberg does.
put Spielberg and Williams together and if you don't get a masterpiece you STILL get a film that's better than 90% of what's put out there.

When Steven Spielberg first showed John Williams a cut of this movie, Williams was so moved he had to take a walk outside for several minutes to collect himself. Upon his return, he told Spielberg he deserved a better composer. Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."
Omg that’s so sad 😞
You really hope a story like that is true. Williams is a modern day master that simply isn't appreciated enough in the 'download' era. If Beethoven or Mozart or any of the greats had composed this then they would have been lauded.
@@anyoldironhammer8723 this is possibly the most well known piece of orchestral music written in the last 50 years, alongside all of John Williams' other work. There's literally nothing unappreciated about John Williams

@@marcfranke4254 + It's masterpiece
I watched Schindler's List twice in my life - once in the cinema with my school class (as a student, not as a teacher) - and the second time as an adult, because I wanted to make sure I could process the movie with the thoughts of an adult. When I watched it as a teen with my class, I felt ashamed afterwards - ashamed of being German. In the same month when we went to cinema to watch Schindler's List, maybe a week or two after we watched the movie, we got a visitor in school. His name was Alex Deutsch - he was a survivor of Auschwitz. He told us about it. I felt even more ashamed. Especially double so because my grandfather was a member of the Waffen SS. I asked Mr. Deutsch if I could shake his hand. I told him that I was sorry. He answered that it was his pleasure to shake my hand and that I had no reason to be sorry, because I wasn't even born when it all happened and had no part in it. I'm incredibly thankful to have been able to shake this mans hand. Years later, when I watched the movie for the second (and last time) I realized that it was up to me, up to us all who are adults today to make sure nothing like this could ever happen again. I made peace with myself. I made peace with my grandfather - even if he was part of that system, to me he was just my grandfather. And I loved him dearly and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I wouldn't try to find a reasoning for what he might have done in the war - IF he did something that goes beyond the duty of a normal soldier, then it is like it is and I'm not responsible for that. Because I wasn't even born at that time. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE anymore for what happened back then. But WE ARE RESPONSIBLE for what happens now. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE to make sure NO ONE EVER FORGETS ABOUT IT. We are allowed to live free from guilt - remembrance DOES NOT EQUAL guilt. It took me years to realize that. I do my very best every day to make sure it won't ever happen again. I can only hope that there are enough people left in Germany who think like me to make sure it never happens again.
Thank you for your kind heart, this will never be forgotten.

@@bigk4026 💜🌸💜…..
As a German it always deeply saddens me to see comments that deny what happened around 80 years ago. Its sad that our nation was and still is stained by these events, I'm glad to say that my great-Grandfather was himself not a Nazi but he killed, every man, woman and indeed child he killed had parents ,sons ,daughters ,mothers and fathers. He was always ashamed of what he did, never spoke about the crimes he committed to his children. As an example in 1944 his company had taken control of a Polish village, he was an Oberst (colonel) so a high field rank. His unit was meant to make the village defense ready. Around 3 weeks after his transferral here the Soviet lines were drawing closer. A Waffen-SS division entered the town around about then. They had received orders to kill any civilians who were deemed partisan worthy. Using his high rank he protested yet his protest failed as the order had been dictated by none other than Heinrich Himmler. The SS unit left the town but my Great-Grandfather had to complete his orders. Unfortunately he also had a large bond with the villagers, he spoke Polish, French, English and Russian fluently, and killing them would take a large mental toll on him. This occurrence would stay with him for years and according to my Great-Grandmother he would often have nightmares of it. During the ensuing battle in the village he would be hit by shrapnel and captured by soviet forces. in 1951 he would return home.

You bet it is such passion
I want to share something with all of you that holds dear to me and my family. It's about my grandfather and his two best friends who went off to war. My grandfather served in Vietnam with his two best friends Rigo and Carlos. My grandfather didn't have any brothers but he looked at Rigo and Carlos as his own brothers. Not knowing English they were from a poor town in Puerto Rico. They grew up since they were 7 and would play outdoors daily, helping elders with their needs, from what my father told me. He mentioned they were always together. My dad was told by my grandfather before he left for Vietnam that he's going with Rigo y Carlos and to not worry cause they will all be back home together soon. When the war was over my grandfather came home by himself alone. My grandfather never talked about the actions that took place. He was hated called a baby killer, a rapist, a murderer. Years have gone by he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's' and had to stay in a nursing home. When I and my twin brother visit him opening the door, he's just staring out the window with his blanket over his shoulders. We would pull up by his side and greet him and kiss his cheek and He would just tear up sobbing saying "Rigo y Carlos estás aquí, ¿cómo estás aquí? (Rigo and Carlos your here how are you here) He doesn't remember me and my brother so we just pretend we are Rigo and Carlos. in 2020 of May he had passed away and when we went to his home to clean up we had found an old journal he had shared writing with Rigo and Carlos of what happened during in Vietnam. They took turns writing and 22 pages after Rigo wasn't writing anymore and Carlos stopped writing after page 37. My grandfather continued to write but his handwriting wasn't clear and the pages were wet from raindrops or tears and there was soo much pain through the whole journal. There wasn't any more writing but on the very last page with my grandfather's old childhood picture with Carlos and Rigo smiling when they were kids, it said "Nuestra bandera no vuela al viento, vuela con el último aliento de cada uno de los que hemos muerto y protegido por ella". (Our flag doesn't fly do to the wind, it flies with the last breathes of every single one of us who has died and protected it) Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I remember when my wife and I decided to see Schindler's list at the movie theater. We avoided seeing it for a while because we knew how difficult it would be, and how emotional we would get because our ancestors were from eastern Europe, and we had likely lost relatives in the Holocaust. So, we decided to travel far from our home to a cinema in a rural area where we wouldn't know anyone and most people likely had no connection to the Holocaust. The one thing I will never forget was right after the movie ended...you could hear a pin drop as people silently and slowly made their way out of the theater. There was no talking, no looking around, just people staring straight ahead and in deep thought. That was just the confirmation my wife and I needed; that we are all in this thing called life together, and that our ability to care for each other, to empathize with each other, and to help each other will be the glue that binds us and assures a future of peace and compassion for generations to come.
Thank you for sharing this!
Your comment has restored faith in goodness of human spirit and shared positivity in these troubled times. I experienced this film many years ago. Tthere was a pin drop silence when the black & white shot of the Jews morphed into the present day ones walking to pay respects to Schindler. As the movie ended, the audience went on an ovation as if by an unseen switch while i could not hold back tears. How much one man and one small thing mean to so many!

The woman: Davida Scheffers has a painful neuromuscular condition which disrupted her career as a musician.
Despite her fear that she might never be able to play with a professional orchestra again, Davida’s dream was to play with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra.
And last year, she managed it.
In a performance with the orchestra, Davida managed to play the entire cor anglais solo from John Williams’ Schindler’s List theme, before bursting into tears during Simone Lamsma’s violin solo.
It was a powerful moment that affected both the audience and orchestra. Look out for Davida’s daughter in the audience, who had just turned 18 that day.
Well done, Davida - what a remarkable achievement!

Watching the musicians trying their damndest to hold it all together is just so warming. It really shows how much they feel it too.
Especially if you’re a wind player or vocalist.. you can emote all you want but if you actually start feeling it too much and cry, it affects your breath control. It’s hard playing emotional pieces like this. You’re making the audience cry but have to hold it in yourself for your best performance 🥹

The last days of by Hans Zimmer is much better
@@agm9525 Greetings from Central Europe. I agree 100%. Recently I have been listening to Williams music for movies. As brilliant as Schindler's List is, the rest of it suffers from a certain fragmentation. By alternating tense and muted passages, which are impressive, but do not form an arc together, they do not form a whole. The compositions do not "hold together", they have a scattered architecture. As if Schindler's List was written by someone else.
And partnership with George 😉

When I think than some horribles persons says in 2024 that was a lie I have a sort of hate.
What it actually was like in the end can only be told by those who actually experienced it. We don't know whether everything really happened like that at all times in every concentration camp. Because there were enough statements from the Russians claiming the opposite. Likewise, there were many American soldiers who said that the way it was told was not true. and also diaries and reports from guards in the concentration camps contradict what most claim.
I don't want to say that it wasn't like that, but you can't confirm that it was like that, because the winners tell the story. Because there were also survivors who said that they had to live in barracks and only had enough to eat so that they didn't die, that the hygiene was a catastrophe, but that they were still treated well given the circumstances@@LaurentValette1234

She deserves the applause. Her play is just amazing, full of emotions from the bottom of her heart.
Pour la petite histoire, si Davida Scheffers est émue aux larmes c’est, d’une part, dû à l’émotion transmise dans la musique, mais surtout parce qu’étant atteinte d’une maladie neuromusculaire grave, qui avait mis fin à sa carrière musicale des années auparavant, elle ne pensait pas être capable de rejoindre un orchestre et encore moins de jouer un solo.

I cannot remember now how many times I have watched this beautiful, poignant video stream - for both the exquisite music as well as Ms Scheffers artistry. This music, in the film obviously, as well as this stream, always evokes deep emotion. It is not often one can watch raw, powerful human emotion expressed so viscerally. The emotion on Ms Scheffers daughters face, her own face, and that of the orchestra is profound. Thank you for being one (of the many?) that posted it here for the rest of us.
The amount of emotion these people show while playing is arguably the best thing about this entire performance. The combination of the music and mostly the emotions just force me to cry, it's incredible.

John Williams is an absolute master. This is so deep and beautiful. It makes my heart sad and glad at the same time.
And the execution is so lovely.
John Williams is a genius. When Steven approached him to do the score for Schindler's List, he responded "You need a better composer than I for this film." And Steven replied "You're right, but they're all dead!"
That’s like the best quote ever.
Wow
Morricone was still alive at the time.
@@rbweinbaum1 pretty sure that Morricone would have done a fantastic job, but I believe that Spielberg said that to Williams as a compliment since he is also one of the very best musicians in modern history.

Not sure of what's behind your "?Movie?" comment. Does it imply that you are not aware that Schindler's List is a Spielberg movie about the Holocaust? It was filmed in black and white. One extremely moving scene showed a very young Jewish girl who, with the only color in the entire film, was wearing a red dress. It was clear that she, along with many other Jews in the scene, was being herded to her death.

My now deceased Dad fought in both WW11 and the Korean War. He witnessed the liberation of Dauhau Concentration Camp. He never got over the atrocities and cruelty of the treatment of millions of innocent people. He would never talk about it because it was too painful for him.

Listening to this musical masterpiece is what made me feel what violinists would refer to as "When the violin cries out" because they really genuinely sound like the cries and wails of the souls of whom the music is captured in. Such a beautiful composition.
She's not crying because of the music or what the song means, she's crying because she was finally given a chance to play in an orchestra despite her disability.
You’re exactly right. The violin like no other instrument can sing. It can convey joy, romance, torment, suffering, and every other emotion that is in the soul!
I never understood how people could watch a video and cry for random people…..now I understand……
This may be the most hauntingly beautiful music ever composed. The musicians did a wonderful job - especially the solo violin and the oboe. So beautiful.

@@tobieeck9676 This song is very simple. Sorry but it is not on the level of the greatest composers. Commercial Hollywood stuff that claims to be emotional for people who just listen to a sad violin played along sad images of a sad historical event.
How John Williams can create such music to reflect pain I can never comprehend.
Absolutely. It sounds really cheesy but even a "non-musical" person would be able to feel the emotion in this piece.
From God
And imagine this is the guy who composed the soundtrack to Star Wars (plus pieces for many, many other films). Holy shit. What variety. We are blessed to have him among us.
John Williams : “I said to Steven, ‘I really think you need a better composer than I am for this film.’ And he very sweetly said, ‘I know, but they’re all dead.’”
I read in an interview that John Williams feels the emotion from the scene before he composes the musical piece. That's how he's able to put it together so perfectly. Listen to the music from a lot of other movies he composed for. You'll notice he has that distinct style.
