"This is where the operatic section comes in." -- Freddie Mercury
Jymm ah, the operatic section, yeah
Lau you don’t get it do you
I don’t think the movie is accurate
@@GTXTi-db5xu Still, Freddie would definitely say that
XD I love you
I believe that when Queen wrote this, they didn't fully realize that they created a masterpiece.
Yevgeniy Shcherbakov no, i’m pretty sure they had a good idea.
Yevgeniy Shcherbakov Freddie knew, everyone else thought he was going mad
Freddie wrote it.
Roger San Gabriel, and Freddie was part of Queen, as well as sang and worked on it with Queen, so technically Queen wrote the song, though Freddie started working on it before everyone else.
douglas carpenter nah he didn't. The opera section it's Freddie, Brian May and Roger Taylor singing over and over. They had 100+ tapes of them singing the part.
That trumpet tho. He had his chance and he took it like a boss. Cuts through everything. Lovely tone.
he’s actually my assistant band teacher! mr. patrick hunninghake! great guy, and he definitely owned that solo
@@corpocrimby Amazing. Give him my regards.
For real tho. He can play
Oh GOD! That was massively impressive.
so true! that was so sexy omg
Funny thing is that if you showed this to someone who’s never heard bohemian rhapsody they would probably think this is some kind of classical music from the 1800s
Honestly I'd love to see that. Someone who's just never heard Bohemian Rhapsody hear this, get their thoughts, and then listen to the actual song
Hahahaha,...you are damn right...😄😄😀
@@nahuelma97 the original is very disappointing against this one, I can ensure you he would be disappointed
Is there someone who still didnt know bohemian rhapsody nowadays?
@@nativeafroeurasian what?
Finally, RUclips is starting to get my recommendations right.
The NyanMudkipz SAMEEE
The NyanMudkipz sameeeeee
sameee
you made me laugh sir! get yourself a cookie!
The NyanMudkipz yop happened to me too
I hope Freddie has Wi-Fi in heaven
Tomas Medina fuck off 😂😂😂
wh-what rtepsutlaf
Cuntaur Stroke He helped with the world's evolution with masterpieces like this, so i guess he must be in heaven
Cuntaur Stroke STFU you troll!
MichaelGaribaldi Not trolling just a realist
My god, Freddie Mercury really knew his shit. He literally wrote a classical piece then transposed it into a rock masterpiece. Classy, classy guy.
well he was classically trained on the piano... as was Elton John
@@evieaddy9580except not being able to read music would kinda mean he (mercury) wasn't very classically trained
obviously not necessarily an important skill when it comes to a musician's talent, but it definitely comes as a part of classical training, regardless of what you play
Freddie: what is this noise?
Freddie: * Looks down and smile *
yeah, it was an amazing performance. boyy, it sounded so splendid up here :)
You call that as noise lol
Or looked up lol
@@freddiemercury2075 Hey, thank you. They couldn't have done it without you. Bless.
FaceApp: "yes"
Dear Freddie Mercury .. you know what?
"YOU MADE IT, DARLING!"
your comment made me cry ❤️
Dude why did you have to make me cry like that, shit
I actually felt this comment too...right in the feels.
¡Estoy llorando como bebé!
From a song that was originally meant to be a flop. Freddie must be chuffed.
Freddie would be proud 😢😭
Nicolly May definitely😭😭😭😢
Nicolly May my god would he be :)
this sent shivers down my spine, but my body's aching all the time unfortunately because I'm sick AF
Nicolly May yes he would. Brought tears to my eyes. So glad the genius of Freddie and Queen will always live in their music.
Nicolly May 😭😭😭😭😭Yo estoy llorando💔
Can we appreciate the solo viola? Because dang! She has perfect tone and is very good with dynamics !
A real harmony among the string instruments violin, viola, cello etc... I love this kind of instrumentals played by an orchestra... An extra efforts for music lovers...
Heavenly like sounds.
@@franciscodizon4078 totally agree!!
At 0:34.. & 5:42 ?
@@zawwiUtubeso sorry bro, I can't like it more than once, exquisite spotting
Years of expensive music lessons.
Years of mind-numbing practice on your instrument .
Years of tolerating being labeled as a "Band" nerd.
Finally getting to play something really cool in Orchestra Class.
PRICELESS!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am going to put the this on our 3 yr old's wall. F kicking or throwing a ball. Hahhah
And featuring VIOLA! 🎉
The viola was great, but can we give that trumpet player a medal!
it was good but not perfect.
Vats a viola, is it the most under appreciated string instrument?
He looks like Gordon Ramsey
@@dariolamela2231 no. It was perfect.
@@invaliddylan8766 but fatter
I wish Freddie was still alive to see this
+Ihab Layth Freddie's voice in this video would be the most beautiful thing in the history of music. Or in the history in general.
More of this, please!
+Ihab Layth He´s hearing it allright...somehow, somewhere
+Daniel Alves Yep I agree
+R MCosta Actually I made a mashup with this and the original accapella. :) Sounds awesome! :)
CocaColaLimee share with the world, dude!
When you hear this played by an orchestra, you realize what a brilliant piece of music BH is.
I went to IU(1968-1972). Their music school always had great musicians. BH is becoming a masterpiece and IU ‘s rendition is part of the process. The composers understood music theory and this piece is a rhapsody. Beautiful performance and a nice mixture of young men and women .
Why is this not available on Spotify, it is the best orchestral cover I have ever heard, the arrangement is a masterpeice.
I'm pretty sure this what Freddie Murcury was hearing in head.

I think so too!
Beautifully...song
also me 😭
Only an extraordinary mind could imagine a such piece of art like this
Why am I sweating from my eyes?

This interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody, illustrates what a brilliant song writer Freddie Mercury was. The Beethoven of the 20th century. RIP
Another Great artist who left too soon !
@@georgerivera1161 yet will always be with us.
Here in Tanzania 🇹🇿, we also recognize Freddie Mercury. He was born in Zanzibar...
Didn't know he was behind this masterpiece too. Such a legend
5:38 is perhaps one of the most heartbreaking moments in contemporary music. He needed no words to say it.
I got goosebumps.
“i sometimes wish i’d never been born at all” THIS 🥹🥹🥹🫠🫠
@@grylltheonion i was getting goosebumps as i read your comment about getting goosebumps
I would buy a ticket to watch and hear this live
Me too. I’d love to see this live.
That solo Viola was fantastic!! Such an underrated instrument.
Violas sound beautiful and better than a violin
Potato Burger It's not about sounding better, it's about sounding different. As a doublebass player, I don't like violins because they're too high-pitched and I prefer the grave sound of the viola more but they're both beautiful
It's all about emulating the vocal range. Viola is like a tenor
I love viola more
suburbanindie not tenor, alto 😉
Imagine playing this while showing a montage of Freddie's life.
There would be tears.
Actually, while listening to this, I was in tears. This amazing orchestral performance paired with the memory of Freddie really chokes me up. Thank you, Mr Hersh!
3:01 that trumpet solo *NEVER* gets old. I get chills every time I hear it. 🎵🎶🎺
6:31 he has been waiting his whole life for that very moment....
😂😂😂😂
bahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
LMAO
I cried a little
Rosalee Garza I cried a lot ;)
650ford ha ha I wish I could play this (I play the viola) :)
Rosalee Garza me too. I started 6 months ago!!
Rosalee Garza Mi penis cried too
Rosalee Garza i teared up
2:47 gave me chills omg 😭
I think that the best part about full on orchestras playing amazing songs like these are that, despite there not being the actual lyrics, we can all hear the lyrics in our heads. That’s how memorable this song was to us as humans
Who else was singing this in their heads?
meeee!
Beelzebub has a devil for a son, Scaramouch can you do the Fandango
I see a little silhouette of a man

Bohemian Rhapsody is great because if you had never heard the original song before, you would think it was an original orchestra song, particularly during the operatic phase of the song.
;)
"this is where the operatic section comes in!"
Jigglypuff bl
Jigglypuff God how i love your comment.
How many Galileo‘s do you want??😂
Petition to make this the Earth Anthem
Agreed! Followed by Sweet Caroline. 😁
Lennon : Hold my Imagine!
Nope
@@adityahendriawan2709 yass that would honestly be better
Practically, Echoes by Pink Floyd should be the Earth Anthem
I didn't think Bohemian Rhapsody could sound any more beautiful than it already was; this version put tears in my eyes.
I think Freddie Mercury really made it for a symphony.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.
More Beta He made it, the álbum is I Night at the Opera
More Beta I don't believe so. It's more that Symphonies can make anything sound 100000000x better
More Beta ikr it sounds like something that Mozart or Bach would make
@@granarchives yea, id think so bro
That trumpet solo was beautiful!
agreed
He's actually my band teacher 0-o
+Legend of Flygon27 same
M'lady
I think Dr May would be proud :)
I just love instrumental versions of modern songs and this one was amazing. Viola and trumpet solos were so beautiful.
Close your eyes, listen to this marvellous piece… and imagine the voice of that angel singing the lyrics… ❤️
If I made my own country, THIS would be the national anthem.
Can I join your country?
No it would be mine
Everybody can sing it. 👍🏻😉
Anyone can join 😇
If your Country and Germany should Play a Football Game against each other. I even would sing your Anthem
Mozart, Bakh, List, Bethoven, Rakhmaninov, Freddy
*bach
Freddie*
Boom grammar roasted
*Liszt
*Rachmaninoff
Reported for misconduct.
As a trumpet player the solo touched my soul
Worth my last 1% of battery 🤷♀️
I am now tempted to listen to this until I have 1% battery... with my phone plugged in.
My phone is at %1 hahah 🤣🤣
Not
This is what you hear when you get in heaven
I like this music, but hearing it for all eternity is a hellish prospect
ushoys ???
2:48
ushoys applies to any and every song
With Freddie singing, of course.
Mozart would be ecstatic hearing over Freddie's masterpiece..
JOHN GOUZOUASSIS Actually, I think Mozart would have a heart attack from hearing how much it's bent outside of the classical style.
Mozart could make it better. Can you imagine Mozart to day?
Bohemian rhapsody really was a marriage between Classical and Rock n' Roll..
as it is and also is It's a Hard Live or Innuendo or even Somebody to Love.... we cannot forget that Freddie was an opera addcited
The Viola sang the melody so beautifully!
It is not often that you hear a viola do a solo. This was a great performance of Bohemian Rhapsody by this orchestra. I'm sure Freddie Mercury is smiling from above and enjoyed the performance.
But like any other musician he's probably disappointed that they made the viola so prominent.
Violas are so underappreciated! Lovely instrument.
Do that manic was a viola....always thought they were simply small violins. Beautiful sound. Beautiful piece.
@@Keithustus Idk what is wrong with violas. It is probably one of these things that less intelligent people just keep parroting without actually thinking about it.
@@LadyMngwa It is beautiful. Just like a voice singing.
WAS IT JUST ME OR DID THAT BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES?
I was surprised that I got a little damp in the eyes. The piece really shines with this treatment.
Just u I guess 😂
I was crying too and I didn't know why 😂
Cried a bit as I sang the last verse
Roger Chess me too...
December 2022. Great, great , this song is a work of art and Frieddie Mercury was a genius. This amazing!
4:36 That conductor was really feelin himself😂
Fuck the formality, I'm going to dance.
2:47 - 3:30 is the best part . gosh what a beautiful song
Abby Stott I like it more from 0:11 but everyone has an opinios
To think only 4 guys did this
Yes it always strikes me when listening to Queens music but it's an amazing sound coming from only four people.
Gameboy23 actually it was just written by freddie, the piano melody too, he created this
@@vbl915 Freddie didnt alone, all the members are important, QUEEN created Bohemian Rhapsody
xDOTSx BLINDER freddie wrote the entire song and melody, i know brian made himself the solo guitar melody but apart from that i dont know about any collab from other member. As a disclaimer i did not mean to sound like other members from queen aren’t talented etc, i consider all of them extremely talented, every single one of them have written wonderful songs, i just wanted to give freddie his credit in this one
@@vbl915 Yes, but for example i am impressed that four (or more mainly three, since John Deacon didnt sing very much) ppl's voices can create such great operatic effect and volume.
Also the 'Deacy amp' enabled Brian's guitar to sound like a trumpet, adding to the orchestra like effect. Of course Freddie's songwriting here is pure genius, a poignant expression of the human condition, and we should give him full credit for that!
The trumpet guy understood the assignment
It's extraordinary to see that all of this came out of one man's brain. Not just a man, a legend!
It was a group effort like most of their songs. (But yes, apparently, mostly Freddie, especially as to structure.)
Mama, I don't wanna cry..
Die*
I’m not even a Trumpet player but that solo gave me the chills.
I'm a trumpet player and I've tried to play that solo many times, but it's r e a l l y hard
The entire song gave me chills
The trumpet player was heart ripping. Wow !
gordon ramsay really good at playing the trumpet
😂
Rockin' out on a C trumpet. LOL.
😆
Pardon the pun but that trumpet blew me away
I legit laughed at this
😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
Took me some time
5:39 There is something particularly beautiful about the sound of those violins sliding down
Ikr🎶
Yes, goosebumps 👍
There slur was on point supper satisfying
Exactly the same!
that slur is so much harder than it looks 😭😭
This is such a beautiful orchestration that viola is so very emotional
Listening to a symphony perform the song make you recognize, to an even greater extent, how phenomenal the melody of the song is.
Queen is the only band in the world which will be heard forever. Queen will never die out. They're legends.
Fede Cimbaro88 There are a few others - all from the same era!
Pink Floyd too
The beattles also.
Queen, AC/DC, The beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley , Metallica, Michael Jackson and so on
Queen and the Beatles also
6:31 my man did the final touch. Thanks dude
Respect!
That trumpet gave me chills!
They all were brilliant!
whoever decided that this orchestra should do bohemian rhapsody needs a raise
i want this to my funeral. how indescribable the beauty of this...
Who the hell could possibly dislike this!? What is wrong with people? This is absolutely beautiful!
It's the young generation my friend
DJ Gamer That's good. Don't change. Stray away from shitty music. Stay true to the real music that pleases the soul.
+DJ Gamer I'm 13 but some of my friends are like what is this shit, good thing I go to a performing arts school so most of the people there know what music actually is
We're bad guys ! That's what we do !
+The french Timelord I see what you did there!
Never thought I'd applaud for a youtube piece
THIS HAS CURED MY DEPRESSION. THANK YOU.
Freddie Marcury wrote this piece as a symphony and after fiishing he was like "damn, forgotten i have only 3 guy in the orchestra. Well, what's the big deal, i'll do it with 3 guys" :)
😂😂😂
Your comment made my day👍
Marcury
Simultaneously:)))
i wanna do it with 3 guys too ;)
"This is where the operatic section comes in" - Rami Malek, 2018
I heard that Freddie really said this :v
I love that movie soo much, he played Freddie so remarkably well!!
Rami introduced Freddy to this generation as a legend in a beautiful way
Got reminded about this while looking up my middle schooler’s band arrangement. Never gets old, glad to have been a part of it!! Thanks Nick, hope you are well!!
Esto es demasiado hermoso, siento pena por la gente que no tiene el suficiente sentido de apreciación para no gustarle esta maravilla.
This was real art. Only showcases the genius of the four men of Queen. You brought me to tears. Thank you for this.
Caleb Ricketts Freddy wrote it all by himself.
topneorej not the guitar solo tho
Jargalhurts true
This shows that Freddy was pure genius. And Queen in general. They wrote MUSIC.
topneorej Wasn't it written externally?
Freddy was just a genius musician... Because I'm really sure Bohemian Rhapsody would never be forgotten
"Forget"
Jay Torres I will never forgotten this song
Forgotten*
@@vijhunofficial4598 hell yeah!
Freddie have left his legacy

Osborn V.L Hriatpuia vc encontrará poucos brasileiros assistindo orquestras no RUclips. Rssss
nigga shut the hell up and eat a cinnamon roll.
This is probably the most well done symphonic rendition of Bo Rhap that I've ever heard. It made me ugly cry.
That trumpet solo brought me to tears, and the musician on the harp! Girl, you ate that up! Definitely well-balanced and I heard everyone so clearly! This does not sound like a School of Music, but a National Symphony!
The viola is beautiful and all but can we just give it to THAT TRUMPET PLAYER 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Carly King He makes me proud to play trumpet 🎺
That was probably the BEST rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" I have ever heard by an orchestra!! I think it was even in the original key(s) all the way through!
BRAVO everyone!!
apart from they didn't finish it with the gong.
God damn, it amazes me that this translates so effortlessly from Freddie Mercury's original song, it just melds together so unfathomably well, and i could very well see this as one of if not the best rendition i have ever heard of this song. Bravo!
Incredible
I’m not crying!
You’re crying!
Ok, maybe I am crying.
We are crying
I cried once... it was a waste of sad tears.
I didn’t think I would. I did
Y r u crying😆
DUDE THAT SOLO TRUMPTER IS REALLY MIND BLOWING
GG BRO
Jane Cooper yaass! it's really cool :D
That’s my band Director
GGWP 😂
Was That a C trumpet
Holy cow! Fantastic! What a performance.
i literally stopped doing my work and drowned into this beautiful cover.
Oh wowwwww the trumpet. And the viola. I’m dying
That trumpet solo!!
I think this was like Mexican mariachi musics, but this is Queen, I like the noises of violins, cellos, I would like to play guitar, violin, I am from Brazil, I have a flute here.
Freddie would have loved this ~ such theatre , congratulations all.
true
i dont get it why a lot of musicians hate viola, it sounds soo heavenlyyyy
Wow, almost 10 years later this is still the best cover of this song. Sitting at my desk getting misty eyed...so beautiful
This is the best orchestral version of a rock song I have ever heard.
You should have heard the Boston Philharmonic the first recording...
You should have heard the Boston Philharmonic perform it for the first time on a live recording.
Is it just me or does it sound like it was originally composed for orchestra 😂
It is a rhapsody so maybe.
Darragh Bacon ofcourse .. Freddie knew about opera even tho he never explained the true meaning of the song I know from where he got the ideas and what it means 😎 Mercury was a genius .
Its no longer a secret cause his lover revealed it after he passed. U can literally just google it
I hate dust What is not secret anymore?
Emine Cinar it was him coming out as gay to his mother. Mama just killed a man=killed his old self. (No longer straight) I always thought the lyrics “pulled MY trigger” wierd but this explains this. “I see a little silhouette of a man” is him being haunted by what hes done and what he is
Wow goosebumps! Literally goosebumps.
That is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, and I know nothing of classical music.
I will now though.
Freddie would have given them a “Fabulous Darling“ for this.
Perfect way to get the viola some respect!
Jacob Bahr Yas! I'm a violalist myself, and no one respects Viola's that much ;-;
I know, that's sad. I've had numerous people call my bass clarinet a saxophone and ask if I use my bassoon for drug related activity. Tsk tsk
Jacob Bahr Gosh seriously? That's disrespectful honestly
Yeah well. That's just the life of a musician. I sometimes just have fun by lying to them and saying 'the bassoon was invented as a bong, but a conductor who smoked decided to use it in his orchestra'. And people believe it
@@jacobbahr9316 you are so funny 😂
4:37 The cello players just went ham, I love it. Much respect lol
When they finally picked a song you enjoy.
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN
About time to show off the viola. The human voice in an instrument.
Long live the Viola!!! Splendid performance.
