Yes, it is. Agree no more. A few day ago, I myself alone celebrate a local holiday and I searched this song and found this version. It raised my spirit up. What a enjoyable leisure activity alone!
It's so amazing watching people of all ages, people with classic education, playing Mission Impossible theme and really enjoying it! Cause it's all about music in the end..
I like to have a physical companion for chatting, engaging and also stay in touch with others may be blood relations, linked in members, through formal conversations and also through informal unconventional talks
The orchestra is just fantastic. I am beside myself in tears. It takes me back in time to the 70's when I watched the tv series. Folsum Lake Symphony, thank you so much. I cannot thank you enuf.
This is the best rendition of the Mission Impossible Theme song. I couldn’t help but think back to when we watched the series during its original run. Excellent job to all those involved. 👏😃
Nothing vamps it like 1960s spy music. Just as a genre, so much good stuff, and this is just a great piece, played with a lot of love and a lot of fun. Nice to see the conductor and musicians so into it.
So cool, you don't realize how many instruments are playing in this theme. The sense of urgency is this best best part of the theme the way it comes out. Hats off to Lalo. I grew up with this original series. "Good morning Mr. Phelps...."
The Orchestra is really, really into the music and you not only hear it, but feel it as you watch them throw the hell down. The Conductor is a whole show; right by him own self 🍾🍾🍾
Back in high school, (1970's) we had a battle of the marching bands. We played at the USC Coliseum in LA. Lalo Schifrin conducted all the bands (don't remember how many high schools were there, but there was a lot) on the football field. The echoing along with trying to keep the 5/4 time was really hard. A memory I'll never forget.
Utterly timeless. Still just as entrancing, as completely captivating as it was when I was a teenager watching the brand new TV series in its first season. Brilliant.
...originally it was Mr Briggs...Stephen Hill...and in the first episode Peter Lupus (allegedly) carried Wally Cox, concealed inside a suitcase, into a bank vault...
This was fabulous! I never understood why I didn't like the theme music from the movies, but after listening to the short lecture on its history, it became clear. Why would they "dumb down" such a great classic?
This theme was among the favorites at my junior high school...too bad our band didn't learn to play it! I give A+ to all musicians and the conductor in this video! This song/performance is really smooth/really rocks!!!
I dent a beautiful thank you to another video following yours...please forgive me. Your passion, energy, firm encouragement to your or hestra. I love this so much. My week was almost impossible, you bring my challenges into s form of sounds timing rythym talent specta ular combination of artists instruments...thank you so much. You made my week of umpossible work transformed into mysic...i loved the original mission impossible, im so glad you loved it too❤
My God, The most BEAUTIFUL performance I have ever seen and heard. An orchestra leader with all this feeling and an orchestra with so many good musicians. God Bless you ALL, You found a serious fan.
An under-appreciated irony of Lalo Schifrin's original "MI" theme Is that his inspiration may not just have come from Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" but from an earlier spy opus. In 1964, the TV series "The Man From UNCLE" began its first season. The series title theme was composed by the always innovative Jerry Goldsmith who used 5/4 although for episodic cues he sometimes went to 4/4 and other time signatures. Every bit as much as Schifrin's 5/4 MI theme, Golsmith's original "UNCLE" arrangement is quite a driving. ear-catching work. Nevertheless, for unknown reasons, the series producers chose to keep using the theme but likewise dumbed it down. Thus in the subsequent three "UNCLE" seasons (and the spin-off season of "Girl From UNCLE"), Goldsmith's piece was re-arranged by different composers. First up: Mr. Schifrin! He migrated the original score into 4/4. Thus in his later "MI" composition he may well have been influenced by both Brubeck and Goldsmith. Interestingly, the beats in Goldsmith's tune are different from those in Schifrin's MI theme. More than one way to skin 5/4 time -- as the Pathetique symphony by Tchaikovsky also demonstrates.
I was at this performance in July 2007 sitting in the first row behind the percussion section in the Sydney Opera House. The whole performance was amazing especially the very beginning. The first half of the performance was a movie scoring for a movie that was never made nor was ever intended to be made I guess. The Mission Impossible theme was the closing number.
This would have been great for the original t.v. series I saw in the ‘60s. Outstanding production! The original IMF cast must be smiling and dancing right now when they hear this. Qualified and charismatic Conductor, too. At the end-that’s using your head lol.
bravo !! la mejor version de este tema, de gran compositor Argentino, Lalo Schifring !!!!!!! es la version mas fiel al tema original y sin duda la mejor !!!!!
One of the best orchestras that can exist really good and of an excellent music quality (Mancini, orchestra, impossible mission, Peter Gunn, soundtrack, film music)
Yeah the live orchestra knocked it out of the park. Their signature rhythm was off the charts. Not an easy thing to do for odd time signatures where the beats aren't as easy to measure without a metronome.
Sensational. You brought a great deal of memories from my childhood. Lalo schiffrin was a genius. Tom Cruise crapped both on the essence of that show which was being about a covert action by a T-E-A-M and not an individual, and then changing the rhythm of that unbelievable Theme Song. Best seasons were the first Three (1966 to 1969) when Martin Landau as Rollin, and Barbara Bain as Cinnamon were starring in the show. ❤❤❤❤
Wow, thanks Mr Conductor for that introduction. Growing up in South Africa, jazz was a big music and we had a pleasure of listen to Dave Brubeck's music through his son Darius Brubeck playing piano and keyboards, a music professor at the University of KwaZulu Natal in Durban South Africa. Thank you for this Mission Impossible theme song as it takes me back to the good old days. Love your arrangement.
Im proud of this group of elderlymost peoples that can still play this type of hard to play music in a big number of talents that collides as one..very talented guys
Yes often older people are very talented. MIssion Impossible is a very simple song compared to most classical pieces. For a orchestral level player it is probably demeaning. It would be like making them play a Snoop Dogg song.
The MI theme was originally a throwaway piece that would be played at the end of the show as the agents complete their mission and leave. Bruce Gellar would sit in with the editor (as directors and producers would do) and decided to use this throwaway snippet as the main theme.
I think I saw Martin Landau , Peter Graves, Leonard Nimoy, Steven Hill, Barbra Bain, Greg Morris and many others dancing in the audience. Love the show love the music
The Danny Elfman theme in the first Mission: Impossible movie was in 5/4 measure. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th took a 6/4 approach. But the 5th, Rogue Nation, brought it back to 5/4 measure.
You may want to count again because I have certainly never heard any version of the Mission: Impossible Theme in any count other than 5/4. It's not possible to play it properly in any other time signature. You might be able to do the main melody in 4 or 6, but the signature baseline becomes completely derailed and deformed. EDIT: Oh wow, geez this is embarrassing. I was only looking at the intro themes and didn't even think about U2s version or Alan Silvestri's rejected score which I found immediately after posting this. I'll just show myself out then.
So much can be done in 5/4 that'll make it exciting to play. I LOVE drumming in 5/4 ! I have recorded in 5/4 and I'm surprised that there aren't more composers willing to take that leap. It's so much FUN !
Your mission should you choose to accept it.... Is to enjoy this music or workout or study to this...this was well played ....this message will self destruct in 15 seconds.....🎊🎊💥💥
Who doesn't know the theme from Mission Impossible? I loved the theme and the show. What had it every Friday night right after This Is Tom Jones. Both great shows!
Bravo!! They played the hell outta that!! “This message will self destruct in 15 seconds!”

I remember 1966 when this series debuted on CBS-TV and right away I knew that it will be a huge hit.
I watched it every Saturday night.
This is the best rendition of the Mission Impossible Theme song. I couldn’t help but think back to when we watched the series during its original run. Excellent job to all those involved. 👏😃
Great piece...everyone was on cue but the drummer was the biggest highlight for me...❤❤❤
Great. Just great. Sir, you are undoubtedly, a Master of the Art ! I am 64. I saw the first episode.
All the best. Trinidad & Tobago.
I'm the same age. Saturday night staple after the Jackie Gleason Show.
i still believe this is the best version out of all Misson Impossible theme musics
Nothing vamps it like 1960s spy music. Just as a genre, so much good stuff, and this is just a great piece, played with a lot of love and a lot of fun. Nice to see the conductor and musicians so into it.
that guy is awesome, he loves this music almost as much as I do ! LALO SCHIFRIN for the win ! ! !
Yes! The actual original... AND full version! Bravo!
When television shows were entertaining and great stuff.
Movies better
So cool, you don't realize how many instruments are playing in this theme. The sense of urgency is this best best part of the theme the way it comes out. Hats off to Lalo. I grew up with this original series. "Good morning Mr. Phelps...."
This version "lights the match" for me.
This give me goose bumps every time I hear it. What an amazing job they did!
Big respect for everyone in the orchestra AMAZING ART MUSICIANS 👏🏼
The goosebumps means your brain enjoys the music.

Top remark , Ivor. Do comment again.
Our Tv channel was black and white then.
Always
Yes!
The drummer at the drum set kept the perfect beat for a very difficult song, that's why he was singled out at the end.
Amazing and timeless theme. One of best of all time! Thank you Lalo Shifrin.
I absolutely love it all. The trombones, the percussion drums. even the most important girl who is ticking the hollow beats. love it.
As always Mr. Phelps, this tape will self destruct in 5 seconds.

I agree! The original theme is SO much better! Why mess with perfection?
Lalo Shifrin... still going strong at 90! 5 grammys ... what a great version!
Flawless execution, outstanding performance and incredible arrangement. Congratulations.
The original theme is the only one that matters. Period.
I love this tune since I was 10 ! Mission Impossible is a legendary!
Mission: Possible. Impressive arrangement and performance!!!!! It's pretty blow-minding!!!

"Wow!" What instrument did you play?"

Such an intense score for such a short piece of music
You should hear The Simpsons theme.
Considering that was written and recorded in one day is amazing to me.
R.I.P. Dave Brubeck one of the great jazz pianist of the 20th Century.
Thank You for music❤❤❤

Great video. Loved oboe man wetting his double reeds. Learning more about difficult time signatures is very interesting for me.
Wow, a very well play masterpiece, bring back memories, thank you for your music.
I am a music lover. Now I have found a piece of music with Five 4 Time. How wonderful it is! He even explained how it works. Fantastic!
Now go get Brubeck's album. In vinyl if you can, CD if nothing else.
Trumpeter and bandleader Don Ellis also explored unusual time signatures, in particular 7/4.
I can just see the match being lit and fuse running across. Loved the old series.
Excellent! One of my top 3 favorite TV theme songs of all time!
Am amazed how they teamwork without confession and how the coordinate am really speechless. It's just wow, wow, !!!
