3:53 That. That RIGHT there is what many, if not all of us musicians shoot for while we play in our orchestra. The moment where your conductor is in pure AWE of what he is hearing his orchestra play. That moment, where ALL of you are playing downright perfectly, not just that, the moment where all of you are connected, where every single human being around you is together. This, right here, is why we have music, why we cherish and love it more than imaginable. Music brings us together.:)

Best version of Jupiter. EVER.

I love this conductor how can you not love him hahahaha

I was told that a conductors job is not to be a metronome. But to extract the right sound and emotion of the moment from his musicians. He uses the tools at his disposal to get it. Crescendos, de crescendos, accents, tempo, volume, etc. this conductor knows his job well. He has such high quality musicians which afford him the opportunity to focus almost entirely on sound and emotion. In some places he doesn't even conduct some of the beats in the bar, instead you see him expressing his emotions through his movements to engage the orchestra, "this is what I'm feeling, the sound coming to me is having this effect, keep it up".

I've heard about a dozen or so renditions of Jupiter from different symphonies/conductors over the years, and I have to say this one is my favorite. I've never heard the middle part of this movement played with so much expression. I'll give almost all the credit to the conductor, Eiji Oue. This is his piece.

The theme at 3:06 is the most beautiful piece of music ever created. Chills every time. It exemplifies every emotion.

I've searched for years to find another recording that captures the central choral part correctly. This is the one...

大植さんの気持ちよいテンポとメリハリ　そして大阪フィルの優れた表現力があいまった最高のジュピターですね。この演奏を生で聴けた皆さんがうらやましいです。

Best version ever, both aurally and visually. If this does not move you to tears, you must be dead!

Seen this hundreds of times now, totally in awe of the talent in the Osaka Orchestra and Oue. I wish there were more people on earth like Oue, a conductor filled with passion and reverence for Jupiter. I always tear up at the mid portion and can feel this work is bigger and greater than myself, a gift from God.

Sitting in a room, no lights, pitch black, all by yourself. The pain you feel is second to none. After listening to this piece, however, I have felt a new level of pain. It hurts, but it hurts brilliantly. It's like nothing I have ever felt before. It resonates deep within my body, through my bones on so many different levels. I can feel my stomach churning and my heart skipping a few beats every couple of seconds. I can safely say that nothing has ever affected me like this piece in my life time. The room is all of a sudden getting less dark, and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I've have escaped that dark room, which was but a metaphor for the dark times in my life. Thank you Holst, I owe my life to you.

I think most musicians reach a point where it's hard to remember why we're doing it. I know I have. Six hours a day in a tiny practice room in the basement of a conservatory building. Going home with bleeding lips or blisters all over your hands. Is this really worth it? And then there are performances like this that bring it all back. Sometimes, rarely, there are moments when you lose yourself in a perfection, and it's all the more perfect because it's shaggy and swelly and everyone's sweating and barely holding on. (Well, the Osaka Philharmonic is a bit beyond the shaggy stage.) It's an out-of-body experience, only you aren't looking down on the scene, you're floating above it in a swirl of lights and sounds. And you truly understand what it means to be a part of something bigger. In 13 years, I've felt this way twice. And it's enough. Oue-sensei gets it. The world needs more people like him :)

What’s lovely about him is his impish humor, which shines out of his eyes, with child-like enthusiasm. No proper musician could dislike such a man!

Did you all notice that this was performed as an outdoor concert? It seems, probably at Osaka castle park. Yet amazing!! Best performance ever!!

To this day the best performance available on KZfaq still absolutely one of my souls favorite pieces

This is testament to the idea the music is nationally, internationally and worldwide an understood language irrelevant of what language you speak simply amazing xxxx

Whenever I want to hear Jupiter, this is the version I play, super.

I love it when conductors get involved in the music. Amazing job, Eiji Oue

The Conductor cries feels all the emotion in the piece- beautiful. and performed beautifully..

Such brisks tempos and yet the light parts were light, smooth was smooth, etc. Excellent. Well performed.

今から４２年前に高校の吹奏楽部（トロンボーン）で演奏した大好きな曲です。素晴らしい演奏で、何故か涙だが出てしまいます。

This is the most brilliant performance of Holst's The Planets I have ever heard. I first heard it as a child and everytime it's just as exciting as the first!

This version is a masterclass in conducting. I come back to it time and time again and the connection to the piece from everyone involved is pure magic. Chills and tears every time. Bravo.

I can see in his gestures what Holst wanted to convey .

3:08-4:52 is the heart and soul of this piece. Oue is directing until 3:50 when he is being pulled by the orchestra and he is in awe of both the orchestra and the music. I can't think of any other version of Jupiter that has this much feeling to it. Oue reflects something alot of people lack, passion. He and the Osaka orchestra joined together to create this great piece of music and they should be very proud of it.

That performance was absolutely incredible.

this conductor is a hero... He plays the song with his heart and with so much expression...people who are clearly blind should have at least a little respect for this spectacular conductor...

Bravo Eiji, miss You and our time together, greetings Jörn (Trumpet NDR Hannover))

Man that conductor is so passionate..

This is outstanding... No words to describe the talent of the musicians and this conductor Eiji Oue... It makes me cry. If perfection exists, then it has been achieved here. So much precision in the sound scope, in the crescendos, the volume... so much balanced, so much close to the inner emotion... If you go to Japan and can listen him, please do it for me.

i nearly cry while listening too this.... i played this this year for my middle school band competition... we won, and i just love this song. my favorite song, not only classical, just overall, hands down.

この演奏は本当に何度も聴きに来るけど、 最近は指揮者見に来る。

I like this conductor. Each conductor have their own style of conducting. I think his moves are more direct and enthusiastic compared to others. For example, Maestro Bernstein is very limited but sounds really clear and beautiful. Maestro Gergiev has really a lot of motions but also limited in some point; still makes GREAT music that many can't do. They are my favorite conductors because of their unique style. However, I think Maestro Eiji Oue is also great conductor because of his powerful and non-limited actions, and his direct conducting that everyone can easily comprehend.

The guy obviously feels and loves the music.

I love this piece, and I really treasure the passion of the conductor. He's clearly understood the universality of the composition.

This conductor is truly phenomenon, the passion in his movement is sublime. And this is the best rendition of this composition.

My heart was quivered by this song and play . This song gives me comfort and solace , and heals my tired mind and sorrow , and melts away my suffering and grief and pain， and purifies my stagnant soul .

This peice has the single best chorale in any orchestral piece of music. There are no words how to describe the amount of beauty in it. It brings grown men to tears. I love Gustav Holst! :)

when i am sad feeling blue i listen to this and my spirit flys and my heart lifts and i think you know what ? its not that bad

Brings tears to my eyes, absolutely beautiful.... 3 minutes onwards gets me every time...... Plus I have an overwhelming need to sit and relate to the conductors Emotion in this video...... In my opinion this is the best version of Gold Jupiter by far ... Holds down 100%

Best performance of this magnificent music I ever heard.

I love conductors that show emotion throughout a piece! This makes me happy :D

one of my favourite pieces of music - beautifully performed

One of the best performances I've seen or heard, fantastic!

A wonderful, very expressive, animated performance, no doubt inspired by the the conductor!

I come back here to see him.

Never mind the music... this guys passion for it is just something else....and who can blame him....one of the greatest pieces ever composed.... Conductor, orchestra, music in perfect harmony......it doesn't get much better than that

I'm nearly 50 now. My parents played me the whole Holst Planet Suite as a kid and I always loved it. Though what I really love about this clip is - apart from the beautiful music - the heart and soul that Eiji Oue puts into the conducting.

・・・すごい ! ! 木星の演奏では、今まで聴いた中で "ダントツ" のナンバーワンです。 特に中間(2:48) ~ のホルンの 入り は何度聞いても感動します。 指揮者のテンション、一糸乱れぬ演奏と美しい音色、この曲が持つ魅力がすべて詰まってます。

I'm English & this is the best rendition I've heard/seen on KZfaq.

Jupiter is so calm, and slow and just my favourite

I feel like I should be paying to watch this. Incredible!

3:05 Goosebumps every time.

A great British patriotic anthem, - nice to see it so well played and conducted with passion.

the thing about this, is that you can tell how much effort was put into playing this piece and arranging it. After knowing it, they are just enjoying the preformance altogether. The conductor feels like a part of the players, since an orchestra is basically his instrument that he carefully has to identify each section, and to the others the conductor would literarly be lost without him. It's like an instrument in itself. It is so good that even the conductor is entertaining.

such passion in their playing, and the aggressiveness and enthusiasm of the conductor. It is so enjoyable to see people who commit so much to something they love. Reminds me of the talented young people I used to play with

曲に対するリスペクトを感じる指揮と表現ですね。 3:25ジュピターをもっとくれくれ禁断症状が出ていますw。 豊かな良い曲ですね。

指揮者が楽しそうで何よりです

The love and pure emotion that go into this performance literally brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I watch it. I hope to someday witness something of this magnitude.

This piece is gorgeous and very moving. I love the conductor. So much emotion radiating from him I can't stop watching.

Que versionaza. Qué pasión. Qué fuego y que deslumbrante exposición de energía. Luego dirán que los japoneses no demuestran sus emociones. Esto es MARAVILLOSO.

This is one of the brightest moments of our specie!

Great rendition of a beautiful piece of music. Also, a fabulously passionate conductor! Love it!

just watched this again for the umpteenth time. This has still got to be the best version of this anywhere on you tube. Love it

Oue-san, arigato gozai mashte! Today I discovered this wonderful conductor and became an instant fan.

I think the conductor is the best part.

Jupiter (and Holst in general) always amazes me, but the passion in this performance... it's beautiful. Good music can amplify emotions; great music can change and alter them completely. And I'm thrilled that technology has reached the point where it's possible to share this with people the world over. I just wish more of the general population held an appreciation for music such as The Planets; even without words, music has a myriad of lessons to teach us.

I feel so humble watching Oue and the Orchestra, a truly incredible, moving performance.

This is incredibly moving. That conductor LOVES music and you can tell that he is living out his dream at that VERY moment. Beautiful. Especially at 3:07 to 4:55.

I love the conductor's facial expressions lol

What an amazing performance on behalf of the conductor. His energy is awesome and he gets into it enough that his musicians pick up on it too.

So much emotion from Oue Eiji, conductor. perfection. Brought emotion deep inside, and tears to my eyes. 💓

いつ見ても圧倒される物です。

また聞きに来た。名演奏だと思う。

thankyou so much. feeling and pace of this rendition is wonderfull

there is absolutely nothing like hearing this live. It is one of my all time favourite pieces and this is BEAUTIFULLY done but hearing it live brought me right to tears, I'll never forget it.

This may be 240p and 14(+) years old, but I still love coming back to this rendition, just to see the conductor at 3:08. I can't help but share that emotion he brings to it, and I cry a bit each time.

この場にいた人がうらやましいでです。現代に比べれば宇宙の知識は限られていましたが、『木星』はスピリチュアル性にあふれ、特に曲の中間部分はかのダイアナ妃が愛した英国の宗教曲・愛国歌になりました。

One of my favorite pieces of music of all time. I was a French horn player. and the middle of the piece was my favorite part. The conductor did an awesome job of letting the horns take over that section of the piece and making it soar. What a wonderful job. Usually pieces performed by ensembles from asia and japan, while technically perfect lack emotion. This however had both. I got goosebumps.

I love this performance so much-- the conductor is also fun to watch ❤❤❤

この指揮者さん、ものすごく楽しそうだねww

Fantastic - he almost gives it a Mahlerian feel.

大好きな曲なのにこの頃は、何度聴いても涙があふれてきます。

The best Jupiter recording of all. Top quality orchestra. Tempo neither too fast or too slow and the intensity is subtle and just right in all the right places.

交響樂與能劇的完美闡釋

3:07 実家のような安心感

Oh my gosh. The emotion of this conductor is so great. I can only hope to have the privilege of being conducted by someone half as good. No wonder the orchestra is so great... it’s all because of this man. Chills. Literal chills

This is what I listen to when i need to remember what passion and greatness is all about. Oue's reactions make me feel humbled and always makes me tear up. Great conductor and orchestra, hope he is doing well. I hope he knows what a gift he has given.

I agree, this is PERFECTLY played. Bravo and Brava to everyone!

Excellent !!!

歌声も聴きたくなるほど素敵でした♪

the people who I got to experience this great music with may no longer be around me but through these melodies I can never forget them. I only wish I could go back to the days where we filled the auditorium with Mr. Holst's amazing sounds...

3:38, look at me guis! 3:45 No don't look at me

I was looking for Mozart`s Jupiter Symphony, But I have found this! :D

Brilliant, definatly one of my all time favorite pieces, and definatly the most notable in all of holst's planets

I have goose bumps. I'm blessed to have this as our school song.

何パターンかの演奏を聞いてますが、究極のjupiter（僕の考えるjupiter）とか求めたくなりますね。例えば、これは、トランペットが鳴ってたりするのは好みです。曲調が変わるところなど、指揮者によって違いますねー

I love this so much. Jupiter is fantastic! I want the conductor to be my boyfriend. He's the best.

Amazingly original (look at the date of composition), imaginative, and memorable music which is the basis of most Hollowood film music ever since, especially John 'Holst' Williams. And what a fantastic performance! Thanks for posting.

The best conductor I've ever seen in my life!!!! Just great! o.O
