A Korean conductor leading a Japanese Philharmonic playing a song written by an Italian composer. This is how the world should be. Music unites all :)

My grandfather musician told me "you always recognise a piece from Rossini, he's always in a hurry because he has to go stir the tomato sauce". Rossini was an extremely enthusiastic chef, in addition to a great composer.

The best performance I have ever seen. The stand-up by the orchestra at the end was, and still is breathtaking!

Cant stop watching this .. jus the teaching of the body language ❤........2024???????????????

Thats the most chill conductor I have ever seen

One person sat down and wrote every note for every instrument in his head and came up with this.

One of my absolute favourite conductors. He deeply cares about the music and really brings its power out

I've probably watched this 100+ times and love it every time. Between the conductor's actions, the gray bearded cello player and the first violin the enjoyment they are all having with this wonderful piece makes it just a special video. Thanks to all of them for their performance.

If I played this in my car, I'd lose my license.

テンポ、スピード、強弱、素晴らしい指揮。

This conductors subtlety of movement really captured the spirit of this song. We are just along foe the ride. Not the show! Thanks bro, for letting the music shine!!!

素晴らしい、ほんとに素晴らしい、演奏者の皆さんの笑顔が、すべてを物語っていますね、ブラ-ーボー！！

Myeong Hun Jeong is legendary conductor

Fastest version I've heard. I love the standing at the end and the instruments up in the bleachers.

何度も見てます。本当に素敵！ かっこよすぎる！ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Mamma mia!!!!!!! Fantastica interpretazione di uno dei più grandi compositori italiani

This conductor is the ultimate best. Doesn't require sheet music. Knows exactly what section plays what and when. I watch this video at least once a day.👍👍

Excellent performance. Well done, Tokyo Philharmonic and Myung-Whun Chung.

Music has no borders. As an Italian, am so happy to see an Japanese orchestra doing Rossini such justice. Bravo !!

Estoy lejos de ser una entendida en materia musical, solo gustan a mis oídos y me llena de gozo con esta clase de música maravillosa. Que genios aquéllos que como Rossini, Vivaldi, Ennio Morricone y Vangelis, por nombrar algunos pocos, que tuvieron el DON de crear piezas increíbles que sacude el alma, el espíritu se eleva y nos trasladan ahí donde soñamos, embebidos de un profundo gozo que hasta se nos escapan unas lágrimas. Son grandes artistas que supieron llegar a nuestro corazón, gente apasionada por la buena música. Acá la combinación director-orquesta fue fantástica, el maestro dirige con pasión como hacen los grandes que aman lo que hacen. GRACIAS!! 💕💖🧡🙏

i was in my living room when this music playing, suddenly I'm riding a horse.

個性的な指揮者に圧倒され、最後まで見てみると、最後はめっちゃ感動✨

チョン　ミョンフンの若々しい、無駄のない、スピーディーな指揮が、この曲にぴったりです。

Just watch his subtle hand motions, his fingers and hands are directing the 90 piece orchestra. Amazing just to watch him conduct.

I love how they all stand up at the end, even the cellos

This used to be my morning alarm. Had to be out the door before last note fades.

Great Italian Music, my country is the land of music

Beautiful..! Yes..! Love this..! We are one..!...and WOW..!!!

At 80 yrs old it's a pleasure to say that this is the best ever. To Mr Chung and the Tokyo Philharmonic --- Thank you.

最後のパフォーマンスが素晴らしいし、オーケストラの皆様も笑顔で、指揮者の人柄に惹かれます。

너무 좋아요 자랑스런 한국인!!

Bravo! By far the best! You guys and gals are AWESOME! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

One of the best music ever. Glory to Rossini.

정말 멋지네요 특히 이곡을 하는 중에 단원들의 표정과 끝낸 후 뿌듯한 미소는 정말 인상적입니다.

Un grande omaggio al formidabile compositore Gioacchino Rossino, perla preziosissima della Musica classica italiana

This is by far and away my favorite rendition of this piece. The speed and power is very visceral yet refined - it's absolutely magnificent.

FANTASTIC!! Coming from an old mechanic who can't play a tambourine but appreciates those who can.

Semplicemente meravigliosi! Anche Rossini apprezzerebbe. Un abbraccio dall'Italia ❤️🇮🇹

My heartfelt thanks to the sound engineer(s) and the video editor and of course the musicians and conductor. I am not an expert in either but simply someone who knows enough to appreciate the end results. After watching this performance I was left with the overwhelming feeling that not one musician left anything on that stage that day. They gave everything to the performance and the sound engineers and video editor highlighted that perfectly. Thank you

Let only music rule the world friends & never let any evil dare to harm you guys, fans are always here to encourage you the best we can, visit gorgeous Korea during the Summer holidays, music happenings are the most beloved touristic atractions.. from my behalf 🎉❤🎉

FANTASTIC!!! Rossini would be proud!!!

And the end everybody smile and that makes me smile too

I can listen to this piece a gazillion times and the hair on the back of my neck stands up every time! Bravo !!! Magnificent!!

Incredible. This is what it is all about. The international sound of music.

this music plays in my head when i am in a damn hurry !!! am i the only one ??

My 8 month old granddaughter is mesmerized by this performance, which I play for her often! Magical!

Good music knows no borders. Music the peace, we all need to find.

東京交響楽団がこの指揮者の指揮で素晴らしいウィリアムテルを聞かせてくれた。オーケストラの人達も楽しそうに演奏していて、こういうパフォーマンスを日本のオーケストラがしてくれる事が日本人として嬉しい。

The musicians have a smile on their face when performing such an infectious piece of music. Wonderful orchestra, wonderful conductor.

映像も音も綺麗でオーケストラの迫力がすごく伝わってきます。 最後の指揮者のChungさんをはじめ演奏者のみなさんの笑顔が素敵です。

As a trombonist, I would have loved the opportunity to be directed by this man. His animation and motions are marvelous.

This music will always be known to me as the theme song of "The Lone Ranger" which was one of my childhood heroes. Go in peace.

My one year old boy loves this performance and he swings his arms with the music. He is in daycare now, I miss him so much, I can't work

Quel loro alzarsi in piedi nelle ultime battute è semplicemente fantastico! Equivale ad una standing ovation nei confronti dell'immenso Rossini! Il popolo giapponese è un popolo meraviglioso!

I never get enough. Magic Rossini ❤️🇮🇹

Precision, speed, musicality, and pure joy. I cannot stop listening to this. My family thinks I'm a little crazy.

Japanese orchestra, Korean conductor, Italian composer...and in harmony, they all ROCK. Bravo, Bravo!

The smiles on the Orkestra show the pleasure they had in giving us that performance. Bravo

When they Stood Up, I became Overwhelmed, Totally Overwhelmed. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

연주자들의 저렇게 행복해 하는 모습...지휘자 정명훈의 카리스마...정말 최고의 보배!!!!!

Il suono è stupendo, il gesto magnifico, il ritmo ed il piglio è assolutamente perfetto... vive questa musica come un altro genio italiano... Toscanini !!!

The crescendos send shivers down my spine. This orchestra is extremely talented!

I love how the conductor has complete control of the orchestra. His movements, eye contact and attention to detail is superb. The ending is so powerful as the entire orchestra stands up. This is how such a great piece should be performed, with a powerful orchestra and conductor. Bravo!

정명훈 오케스트라 지휘자는 우리의 큰 자랑거리 입니다 세계적인 지휘자 입니다 서울사랑

The conductor does a dance at 2:09.

I just love watching this guy...he's fantastic.

What a great orchestra and conductor too.

From his incredible movements, I'm pretty sure that conductor was just a tai chi master who accidentally walked on stage and still pulled it off.

One of the best renditions of William Tell I've ever heard!! Awesome, fabulous!!

I could listen every day for remainder of my life and never tire of it. It's thrilling to hear and to know such talent exists not just in the composition but the musicians of course as well.

Love how they all stood up! Exceptional performance! ❤️🏆

素晴らしい!何回も観てしまいます。トライアングルがど真ん中にいる。

한국의 자랑입니다.최고의 지휘자!

As soon as the concert master rises, so does the entire orchestra! A delightful finale!

Always like this piece of the overture, well orchestrated, well conducted. Like the humour at the end.

Almost forgot...that flourish at the end, with the orchestra standing! That's more than just good musicianship. That's showmanship! Totally delightful! This is the kind of visual and aural gem you want to watch and experience over and over again.

Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra is just out of this world - listen to that full sound! Wow!

Trully what can you say!? An orchestral piece that lives eternal!!

never heard something so perfect. They're impeccable.

In all my years of listening to the great classical works, THIS IS THE BEST performance of "The Gallop" that I have EVER heard! You could not only see and hear...but also FEEL the emotion of the orchestra! Rossini would be VERY proud to have heard this splendid rendition. And how about that ending where all the musicians stood up for those last several notes?

Nel preciso momento che la musica non è ancora terminata ed iniziano gli applausi si compie la magia. Quello è l'istante esatto che tutti i presenti diventano Italiani.

Absolutely brilliant. I actually spent as much time watching the conductor as I did the orchestra.

My 3.5 year old runs around the house to this song a minimum of 6 times a day! he imitates the conductor too and it’s one my favorite things😂

this is the best version and this is what the speed i want!!! amazing!!!

fckin hell the dude with the triangel was killing it!!!! respect

Best version of the finale ever played by any orchestra. Period. And the conductor walks off afterwards so casually. The ultimate mic drop.

Assolutamente meravigliosi! 💖💖💖

Maestro Myung-Whun Chung is one of the Wolrd's best conductors!

By far, the best version of this piece, one of my favorites.

Debbo dire che non mi stanco mai di ascoltare tanta bellezza di musica e di conduzione orchestrale. Bravissimi

I love the slight eyebrow raise and smile the concertmaster gives the conductor at 0:42. It's like saying "alright, here we go!"

Great job by Chung and the TPO. Quick tempo, precise articulation, highly energetic performance. Rossini would approve.

The conductors direction was as precise as an A380 pilot landing in a storm. Brilliant.

Oh my God I love this conductor!! And the orchestra is truly amazing!! Such a fun piece…BRAVO!!!

원곡보다 빠르면서도 힘있고 절도 있는 교향악단의 노련한 연주실력 청중을 압도하는 카르스마와 더불어 여유있고 품격있는 지휘자의 포스 연주가 끝난 후 지휘자가 박수치면서 악단분들께 예의를 표하는 완벽한 피날레까지 완벽함

Myung-Whun Chung for me one of the best maestros!

I can't stop viewing this video... Simply awesome... Excellent level of musicians

At 0:14 understand you are watching a marvelous composition, at 0:25 you realize it's a masterpiece

The splendid finale of the GUILLERMO TELL Overture, impeccably executed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, under the masterful conduct of the South Korean Myung-Whun Chung. Japanese excellence is demonstrated as always.

Bravo Best version i have heard Great gutso performance 👏👏👏👏
