It’s nice to hear the complete suite rather than just the overture
I feel RVW is underrated among composers; this man was a genius.
Yes - I've started listening to u-tube music recently, & I'm appreciating RVW even more than before . There is so much lovely music to hear . I could just sit and listen to RVW and so many others in so many fields of music forever .
How can one put into words how incredible is the ability of so many musicians. So beautiful .
Quite so!
R.V.W. is considered a GIANT in the whole of British musical history, not at all underrated.
yes, a genius
@@TheProsaicCult Maybe in Britain he isn't underrated, but outside of the UK his music is played way less often than it should be. Unfortunately for me. (I don't live in the UK)
I am a HUGE Ralph VAUGHN WILLIAMS FAN!!! Wonderful and just Grand!!!His Music is indeed a Gift to us all...the universe gives us such amazingl Gifts...
This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards 🧙
I have adored this music since the '70s. I remember hearing it while on my first date with my spouse of over 40 years! I wish I could have seen the performance of this work way back when. Oddly, the final movement sounds like it is derived from some sea chantey.
Wonderful! Really buzzing - sorry, couldn't resist it...
When I was a 16-year-old cellist back in 1971, I attended Symphony School of America in Wisconsin USA, a summer music camp. This was the very first piece we read through at our first rehearsal. I have loved it ever since.
Wow fantastic
Thanks.
Such wonderful harmony. You can hear where he studied with Ravel, achieving such clear, delicate textures.
True.
Most have forgotten that he studied under Maurice. I just listened to daphnis and Chloe followed by a few selections from Miroirs (e.g., Oiseaux tristes), and was pleased by your apt comment.
Adrian Boult and RFW met as young men at Oxford and became lifelong friends. Boult and RFW often discussed the music as it was being composed and at rehearsals before the public ever heard a note. No one knew RFW’s intentions better than Boult.
Had this on LP.
Always preferred the bee side.
Got this on Vinyl LP etc
"A wasp is a bee without a job!" (Milton Jones comedy) This was one of my late husband's favourite pieces of music. It is beautifully and dramatically crafted, but Tom always said the slow and peaceful middle bit always reminded him of a theme from a Hollywood western! I so miss him and his quips.
Lovely post! Made me smile and cry a bit too, just like RVW's beautiful music.
Wasp's the matter ?
@@lucreziia100 I agree with Tom. A big budget Hollywood western. Maybe even a Clint Eastwood western
Brilliant piece !!!
I've always found this suite most fascinating in the various forshaddowings of his "A Sea Symphony" which was to follow this work within 4 years.
An amazing piece of melodic music
Full of beauty.
It is so good to hear the whole of The Wasps. The overture is often broadcast, but not the rest - which I have not heard for years (and I cannot play my old LP any longer). Items 2 to 5 deserve to be heard.
Wonderful, wonderful and Wonderful.
+keith turner - what a pleasant comment, haha... :-)
What a wonderful comment ;)
So beautiful!!
In August of 2015 I was clearing out bushes at my brother's house and was stung by two wasps; one sting each on the top of each hand at the same time (I was not wearing gloves.) . There was a small nest in there and I never even saw it. Later that night we returned with a flashlight and a full can of Ortho bee/nest killer and completely drenched the nest in seconds, and continued to do so after it fell to the ground. We could see them crawling out but the jet spray and toxicity of the chemical was too much for them, as not ONE wasp got away. Love RVW by the way.
26 mins 1 sec of pure heaven love this so much
Played by one of our own greatest and world greatest orchestra s
No conductor has ever performed the British repertoire better than Sir Adrian Boult - and we are indeed fortunate that he lived into the stereo era to make these fine recordings with the London Philharmonic. There is also fine posting of all the Vaughan Williams symphonies on RUclips conducted by Boult - not to be missed! Thanks for posting!
MAGNIFICENT !!
Great Composer !!!!
Really amazing thia piece by Vaughan Williams !!!! Terrific
beautiful .......... thank you :)
I hadn't heard the complete concert suite for many years, so it was a joy to re-visit it. I've often wondered about the significance of the March Past of the Kitchen Utensils and what connection its title has with the play.
Wondered about that myself. Utensils are called upon as "witnesses" at a trial involving dogs (you read that right) in one scene from ONE translation into English of the play. I don't doubt that all concerned were portrayed by people. I should re-read the play in its entirety.
Brilliant pieces down together Just great and inspiring
I meant down together
RVW's works use and evoke the full palette of emotions, but his Aristophanic Suite never fails to cheer me. Sir Adrian Boult and the LSO show how it's done.
If you evaluate the mentality of a period trough its music, then people of 1909 had a greater hope in the future and were happier than us...Decided rythms, Colorfull orchestra , fresh major feeling.
Good statement....You just can't imagine this music being written now. I think people were much more in tune with their environment than they are today..
I would disagree from a historical perspective and a musicological perspective.... but ok.
Interesting comment. The Edwardian era witnessed many new inventions and technology. Also, the British Empire was most likely at its height then (not fashionable to say that now, but true nonetheless). The Great War was still in the distance and there was feeling of great optimism as you noted.
Adrian Boult's recording of this music is probably the best - and how nice to hear all of it, rather than just the overture, brilliant though that is.
Try Handley's performance also. It's absolutely wonderful
pointreyes6. Well said. RVW also served as an ambulance driver during WW1 - too old for trench warfare though very close to it. Britten, as I remember served his country during WW2 in the USA.
Thank God for his age at the time.
Maurice Ravel also served as an ambulance driver during WWl.
Music is geweldig ! ! Picture beeldschoon, hat off
3 Cheers for RVW, LSO, and ACB!
RVW was streets ahead of Britten as a composer! Miles ahead. The best bit: 04:05
I'm a faithful fan of RVW but I must disagree with you. Ben Britten was a brilliant composer, and performer...
I agree with thombotomb and can appreciate Britten and RVW in their own ways. Anyway, _de gustibus non est disputandum_ ... Some of the opening passages in the overture remind me strongly of Walton's dramatic 'Battle of Britain' film music where, in similar vein, he conjures up the buzzing of aircraft about the skies.
As a purely orchestral composer RVW certainly was ahead. Britten wrote too many boring operas.
why can't they each be great in their own right?
You are not comparing like with like..
... herrlich witzige und brillant instrumentierte Suite - kongenial britisch interpretiert von Sir Adrian mit dem London PO ...
PRECIOSO
We did this song in marching band are theme was symphonic evolution
I like RVW’s Fantasy on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.
God originally planned for wasps to pollinate the plants. Then he went with plan Bee.
Happy birthday to Ralph Vaughan Williams his birth verse is Hosea 10:12 rest in peace ✌️ WASP Buzziest hero of the Avengers team Birthday June 12,1963: Janet Van Dyne was with her scientist father, Vernon, when he visited Dr Henry Pym to ask him to collaborate on a project. Vernon wanted to use an energy beam to detect signals from extraterrestrial civilization Pym decline but was attracted to Janet who reminded him of his late wife Maria. Van Dyne went ahead with his experiment but a criminal from the Kosmosian race tracked Van Dynes'beam to Earth 🌎 and murdered him. Janet told Pym she was determined to bring her father's killer to justice Pym revealed his dual identity as Ant 🐜 Man and offered to grant her superhuman abilities and make her his crimefighting partner Janet agreed and became the Wasp. Pym taught her to use"Pym Particles"to shrink herself and regain normal size. He also implanted cells beneath her shoulder blades that enabled her to grow wings at insect size. Pym and Janet also fell in love. It was Pym who suggested that he, the Wasp, the Hulk, Iron Man and Thor band together, and Janet who suggested the name"THE AVENGERS".Pym adopted other costumed identities, Giant- Man and GOLIATH, and then an alternate, aggressive personality named YELLOW JACKET.Realizing that he was still Pym,Janet married him anyway, and he soon regained his true personality. Pym later had a nervous breakdown, and he and Janet they divorced; however time healed the rift and they became friends, and eventually lovers again. After the CIVIL WAR, the Wasp joined Iron Man's team of pro - registration Avengers.She fought the SKRULLS during the SECRET INVASION and was stunned to learn that a skrull had been posing as Pym for months. After Queen 👑 VERANKE was killed, the Skrull Pym turned the Wasp into a fast-growing bio-bomb, and Thor had to kill her to keep her from detonating. The Avengers later discovered she was alive in the Microverse and rescued her. She joined and helped fund the Avengers Unity Squad. Janet then fell in love with teammate HAVOK (Alex Summers). In a future timeline they had a child, but were returned to the past with only her memory. She and Havok split up after a spell changed his personality for the worse As part of the Avengers she fought ULTRON several times; most recently they banished him and Hank Pym into space, only for Pym to return under Ultron's control. Nadia is the daughter of Hank Pym and his first wife, Maria Trovaya. She was raised in Moscow's Red Room. Nadia created her own Wasp suit in Pym's lab and sought out the Avengers.She didn't know her parents, so she took the last name Van Dyne, to honor Janet, her new mentor. Blessings and hugs 🤗💞💓😊❤️💕🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!
I’d love to see the score at the beginning to see how the buzzing is notated!

Many thanks for the t.o.c!
Seems a little chipper for a bug that carries the scorching aggression of a thousand suns...
Also interesting to note that RVW was (if I remember rightly) a mere undergrad when he wrote this...
Well beyond undergraduate. He was about 37 in 1909
@@erp1293 Thanks for correction - I did say 'If I remember rightly' - obviously I hadn't!
Strange - this definitely isn't the Boult recording from about 1968 that was first coupled with the Sea Symphony on EMI
Aristophane !
Sorry to see negative comparisons. Say what it is that you like not what you don't like. I like the lark but wish we heard this more. Was theme music for a BBC programme about the Yorkshire Dales.
Exactly right about all these nitpicking a__holes " It's not this, it;s not that- It's too fast, it's too slow" It's beautiful on its own merits, just enjoy it. But I must say, I'm not crazy about wasps
You say that your channel is "exclusively dedicated to divulgation purposes and not commercial", but this video is being monetised by pre-roll adverts. Perhaps you should consider turning off monetisation on content which you don't own?
Sometimes the video is monetized not by the owner of the channel, but the by the owner of the music.
@@emmaaxelson7821 Too bad the owner of the music died in 1958
Surely you mean Britten sounds like R.V.W. as RVW preceded Britten by about 50 years chronologically and eons musically.
Wasps are among the meanest creatures to find on this planet (notably after humans of course). Just look up what an Ichneumonidae, an Emerald cockroach wasp, (etc), does to reproduce...
Japanese wasps is very dangerous and scary and fierce and invincible and cruel and big .
From chaotic and invincible Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun.
This guy should have studied with Paul Dukas not Maurice Ravel.
PROBABLY THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL.-- NOT A GREAT ILLUSTRATION THOUGH
Fussy, Fussy, Fussy! I'm just grateful that someone put this underrated piece of music on RUclips
No need for such a waspish comment
Very British music. Parts have been used for patriotic films and TV programmes. I suppose . Not like Ancient Greek theatre at all !
Wasps aren't depicted as nice. Honey bees are better. Sounds good.in the cartoon movie, Tall tales a magical garden Antoine Krings.Wendy the wasp is evil, she takes over the hive and drains the garden's resources. Also threaten to take the bee's children🐝
