    The fact that these two dudes literally converted one of the best orchestra pieces ever into something played by two melodicas is just amazing.

      @shostakovichistheshit7322 6 лет назад +22

      No it's horrible. All props for the playing part, but just no. The melodica version sounds like a shitty arcade version of the original Jupiter, because half of what makes it Jupiter is the orchestration.

    It's funny, even in this version the movement at 1:30 makes me tear up. In high school Every time we warmed up in band before a show/ concert/ Marching half time, we played that movement. It's such an amazing composition. Holst is amazing.

    I think I just about died at 1:56 where he does pretend hand vibrato as if he was playing a heartrending cello solo. It's a melodica; that makes absolutely no difference! 😂 A+ to you guys for tackling such a challenging piece of music and then proceeding to goof off the whole time! 😆

    My father had a radio show in the 1960s in New York City about classical music and Holst's 'Jupiter' was the theme music. Having grown up with Jupiter, I think I get most of the nuance of it. I think your duo has captured practically every nuance of it known to me. Thanks.

    The rhythmic tension is so excellent! There's nothing I don't love about this. I have played this several times from the cello section and I just adore hearing how you manage some of the orchestration with what I'm assuming is tonguing on the melodica. And I'm adding another 5000 points for the Tchaik 6 project.
