As a 5th-grader, our class was given the opportunity to see & hear the esteemed Cleveland Orchestra. This was one of the selections they played, and the only one that stuck in my memory!
Congrats to W. A. Mozart, its composer & greatest musician ever!
Great ❤
To those who disliked this... I'm disappointed. Seriously guys, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. This is probably the best composition in the history of music, not just classic music... music in general. Long live, Mozart.
A feeling of revelation and enlightenment....
This is a magical rendition, definitely my favorite.
wow, what a great version of this, so crisp and precise, but not dry either
so awesome!!! Thats How I always wanted to hear it, I can hear every string, every note and chord. Just great!
Excellent!!!! Thank you
The pace @ 3:10 on is awesome. Those guys were cookn'!!
Simply amazing.
At last - With some raw drive, that's the spirit!
fantastic,absolutely beautiful.
My favorite piece of music by Mozart. Its almost like a mini symphony on its own.
Incroyable !!
Une version d'une telle intensité ...!
So awesome
😊
This is one of the cleanest, most precise renditions of the overture on RUclips. No muddy instrumental work. Bravo.
I played this song for concert band. I play the clarinet and I was second part on this piece!And let me tell you, it wasnt easy haha! By the end of the piece I was out of breath, happy and sad that it ended! To this day I still finger my part when i get the time to! GREAT PIECE!
This is played at a superb pace - fast, verging on a frenetic pace which makes the piece sound superb...I love this.
I cant even begin to describe the genius of this song!
Mozart on period instruments...Bellissimo !! :)
i was 6/7 years old and loved this, this remains one of my favourite pieces
Still my favorite rendition.
Thank god i still play the violin, at times i wanted to quit but now i'm super motivated :D :D
greetings to all you mozart fans
A most excellent performance. IMPRESSIVE!
Impeccable.
Good morning Mr Duke......Good morning Mr Duke......
this honestly the hardest piece ive ever tried playing. those notes are RIDICULOUSLY fast omg
Wow, the woodwinds (oboe?) is so very crisp with the runs like you hear in 0:27 and 0:52. Bellissimo!
Not at all too fast. Also, so wonderfully precise, and the baroque instruments resonate the perfect amount and it's just beautiful.
Trading Places! great film , great tune Mozart me Lad!!!
I truly enjoy this every time I hear it. When I am in rush hour and this is on our local classical radio station that makes my ride home even better for the 4 mins or less. LOL Excellent.
Wonderful! So exuberant!
Brilliant!
the beauty of music, of Mozart.
phenomenal is the right word
outstanding performance. brilliant piece
Fantastic
I like the use of period instruments more and more. It enables the music to be played at the tempos that Mozart (in this case) designed for it. Modern instruments are more resonant - they play louder and fuller and sustain longer. This causes the conductors to slow down the speed because, otherwise, the sound becomes a bit muddy at times. It sounds better a bit slower. But, with the period instruments, the faster speeds make perfect sense and sound right.
This overture is really one of the BEST peaces of all time but nothing CAN'T BE BETTER than 9-th symphony of Beethoven!!!
Music is the language of the whole world, especially this classical masterpiece. I am from China. 莫扎特永垂不朽
very beautiful classic music :)
nice tune... i like it.
GREAT.... BRAVO..... !!
Exactly! I can hear more things that I wouldn't normally hear with a modern orchestra playing this, little subtle things in the music that actually made me chuckle a little bit, such as at 1:28 and 2:49. It's amazing for that effect to happen.
amazing!!bravi!!!
Master Piece
wow that was prestissimo, very nice performance...
this song is soooo dam FUN!!^0^
My music camp played this and a lots of fun pieces I LOVE THIS PIECE good time
fantastico
Great music.
i love how they use instruments of the classical era
All the greats will survive, when the trash has long been forgotten. They've been recognised as singularly special, for the last 200 years, I don't think they'll be going anywhere soon. They're part of human history, not just a single nations' they're so well known.
played this in high school band way back in 2004!
Good performance!
so beautiful!!
Pefection
@TheStevenOoi i play the viola, but im only a 9th grader in high school orchestra, and i have played a version of tchaivosky's 1812 overture-which which was a blast
Yes, Yes and YES!
Nice!
Thanks for the info, I did not know that :)
@iamthesuperbran .... Salieri actually could not help but to really admire Mozart's music. Remember the great scene in "Amadeus" when he is looking at Mozart's manuscripts, hearing the music in his head, and just being totally captivated by Mozart's genius? Love that scene in the film!
I aways felt that B's 9th was the most wonderful piece of music mankind has composed.
But this little overture squashes it like a grape.
It is hard to have fresh ears on this piece - as it has been used so much for so little.
But still, imho, The Overture of the Marriage of Figaro is the greatest composition of all time.
"Its effect on the mind is out of all proportion to its impingement on the senses." - J.D. Turner
EPIC
so profestional
Thanks I am playing this for our chamber and I play the cello.
@keetner HAHA same the Cherubino hiding behind a chair part was pretty funny lol
The Treble Chorus of New England actually SANG this piece. We sang every single bow movement, with a different word (do buh do buh do, pah pah, bah bah, etc.) It was really hard, but worth it at the end!
This is music :)
sweet...
you can really hear the quality in this rendition as opposed to the various generic ones that don't do mozart justice. thank you for posting.
Simply put, Mozart was the greatest musician of all time. What he accomplished in his 35 years far exceeds the rest...
It is!
awesome. I'm trying to learn this on electric guitar right now. I don't have "flying fingers" though so it may take awhile. Timeless stuff.
It's in period tuning :)
@Supermassively Keep in mind that you're not seeing him 100% of the time in the video. Also, a conductor practices extensively with his orchestra, they learn to read his movements, and he is keeping very good time, if a little fast. There's more to conducting than meets the eye ;)
GOOD ONE
I keep thinking about when this was used in Trading Places
@4:01"Your breakfast, sir"
scottythegreat1 hmmm pork bellies...
scottythegreat1 Outstanding Trading Places ref.
@aquaboy386
Exactly.
As Tad Allagash says, "Taste is a matter of taste."
3:11-3:23
best. crescendo. EVER.
This is how it actually sounded in Mozart's time... Epic! :)))
si, la verdad que es fenomenal esta obra de mozart y muy bien hecha
not one of mozart's more demanding pieces (Violin), but one of his more satisfying ones to play
From what I can hear, it is in a Cut Common Time played with a Presto tempo.
Brilliant! I so love hearing rep played by period instrument groups, it adds so much more to the music. Too bad there's only one close up of Lesley, though. Sorry, I'm a clarinetist.
Mozaaaaaaart!
@XxRockxTomxX its a flute traverso....its what they used during the baroque period
❤
@gnrfreak808 YES HECK YEA!!!
wow. Go Moz .
At My Intemediate School Were Playing A Simpler version It's Exciting!
Every year has produced great music. Many pop songs have gone on to become popular light classic, such as the Can Can, the Blue Danube Waltz, O Sole Mio and Away in A Manger. All of these were pop music at the time, definitelynot Classical.
am i the only one who gets reminded of trading places when hearing this?
ZOMG I PLAYED THIS IN MY ORCHESTRA 8D
lol i love this song =3
@bobthejimmy
in his channel
its called Guitar: Impossible (stop motion music short by MysteryGuitarMan)
@TheStevenOoi
It has a score for the concert band version. Not the orchestral piece
@Animefreakazoid234 oh, i see. thanks for the info
marriage, "marriage of figaro", there is an opera about this. Just search on youtube. :D
Enjoy the speed! This is Mozart on amphetamine (but in a good sense).
Well, Mozart himself made a comment that this Overture "cannot be payed fast enough." Have you heard the anecdote from one Mozart rehearsal of this Overture when the desperate musicians finally achieved the desired presto and Mozart said: "That was beautiful. But this evening, still a little faster!" ? Mr. Gardiner probably tried to follow this Mozart's wish :-).
