Hahahaha very good

😊😊

Hahahaha yes baldness the final frontier of PC

I keep returning to this performance, after having heard so many other renditions. This orchestra gives it the raw energy especially "Mars" needs.

Mars is absolutely exceptional, I have also never seen an orchestra this size actually perform Holst`s masterpiece. Edward Gardner`s direction of the orchestra is so filled with empathy and care, and those young musicians, they literally bring tears to my eyes. The whole performance is miraculous So glad you, and many others, feel the same love for this performance.@@sjdpfisvrj

Definitely in the top 3.

Well keep discovering. How is it going?

82 now hopefully! 🙏

Period!

I second your comment. What a wonderful performance. When I was younger, I used to take the LP out of the library and then an episode of Inspector Lewis reminded me how much I loved it.

The timpani at the first crescendo was PERFECT!

Agree totally!

Only a genius can continue the work of another genius, which Matthew is not.

Agree. I used to have this on as I worked around the office and then it 'went away . . . " for the better part of a year and then today it's back!

@@alanloeper3953 Same with me--it's one of my favorite pieces of music to have on while I'm writing.

@@alanloeper3953 SO----CELIBRATE , YIPPPEEEE .

@@alanloeper3953 I HOPED YOU CELIBRATED, I DID.

And, although the Royal Albert once had a negative reputation for poor sound, the new work AND BBC Sound technicians, AND Cameramen, did a excellent job.

With all due respect to your opinion, my favorite recording of the original suite is by Sir Charles Mackerras and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, with David Lloyd-Jones and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra taking the spot for my favorite recording of “Pluto.”

It is actually. Mars is relentless in this version. (Plus it elegantly features a Euphonium section.)

The dynamics and strength of this performance is what makes it so good. I always come to this recording for comfort, it’s my favorite rendition of the piece too:)

Boult is the best recording but this is defo second

me too! i cant believe i found it

@@SuperHeliumboy If there is ever a situation where it needs to be removed (hopefully never!) make sure it's unlisted so ppl can still view it with the link! Thanks again for uploading it for us all to enjoy!!!

@@SuperHeliumboy thank you soooo much for reuploading!!!

Somehow I get the feeling that you're particularly a fan of Jupiter.

I realize there is no earth

@@ylimexyz or sun Just the really famous planets

@@goldgamercommenting2990 sun isn't a planet

ABSOLUTELY, AND I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO MANY FAMOUS RECORDINGS TOO. NO DOBT ABOUT IT, SOME PRO'S MAY FIND FAULTS, BUT TO THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENJOY THE PERFORMANCE, LOOK NO FURTHER.

My dog's name is Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, King of the Solar System because it's the perfect name for a big dumb golden retriever

and that's exactly why the Catholic church borrowed it too.

Is he the bringer of the mail, from the hallway ?@@hettbeans

@@MrDaiseymay more like bringer of dog hair

​@@hettbeansI haven't even met the dog and I love him already

Yes, it is wonderfully presented, emaled it to my brother, a physics person to enjoy. One can almost feel themselves. out there, viewing the planets in all their presence.

I love classical music!

Pluto should be demoted to a sparkling celestial body.

Neptune is my favourite movement.

I just found out over the weekend my planet is Neptune, never knew I had one. This was an amazing piece by this orchestra, I am very impressed.

both neptune and jupiter are the best

@@saidtheactress Mine, too! The Intro from 41:22 bis 43:08 so fucking inspired the "Alien" Theme and "Anakins Dark Deeds/Birth of the Twins" of course

Clearly---mine too.

ALL IN THEIR TEENS

GOOD ?

TAKE A RUN AT IT.

WELCOME ABOARD, THEY ARE ALL TEENAGER'S.

It's undeniable that a lot of film composers take inspiration from classical music. Often films have classical music as "placeholders" for sound in scenes before the score has been composed so the composer often ends up making something very similar. In 2001: A space odyssey (apparently) Kubrick (director) liked the placeholder music in the opening scene (Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss) so much that he ended up putting it in the movie instead of what his composer had made. Another interesting example of obvious inspiration is star wars main theme inspired by King's Row by Korngold (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F_jMqjks27ink.html) Every musician is inspired by some other music, but I do personally dislike how blatantly film composers often "copy" classical music and end up being much more known, while the classical piece gets lost in obscurity.

OTOH, have you ever noticed that there is *always* a dramatic “classical” segment in the credits of almost any major movie you can think of? Sometimes it’s the totally final music, oft times it’s not. But it’s always there somewhere at the end. Nothing seals the gravitas of the drama like the classical style.

@@kerrycanfield332 this is often the 'showcase' for the composer's work, where he/she is allowed to sting together a version of the theme(s) that flow musically uninterrupted (without having to match action). If you go back far enough (in the days when the majority of the credits rolled at the opening) there were even overtures that played entirely before the film even started i.e. Lawrence of Arabia (which also has a musical intermission if I remember correctly).

It's not coincidence . Lucas planned to use this pieces. But in the end was the main source to the original soundtrack of star wars.

I Agree with you 100% . I'd add Incredibly brilliant . These young musicians have managed to capture the true spirit of The Planets which I'm absolutely certain Holst himself would agree! Most listening would undoubtably agree as well that this performance may be second to none.

I'm rediscovering the Planets with this video, and it's quite exhilarating. What a masterpiece !

it was taken down because it was monetised and this is copyright content

@@SuperHeliumboy I'm performing in this - Planets is out of copyright, so how could this happen?

@@StuartBramwellMusic I dont know the whole story but when i uploaded this video youtube immediately recognised the music and said this is a copyright claim so you cant monetise it but the owner allows the content to be uploaded so i guessed thats what happened with the last video

@@SuperHeliumboy Have a look at Article 10 of the Rome Convention on Performer's Rights. The WTO TRIPS Agreement is also relevant in some jurisdictions. Essentially the performers and recorders have a right to a fair share of your profits.

THEY WERE ALL TEENAGERS

SO DO YOUR NEIGHBOURS EH ?

Great music, is INTERNATIONAL , Best wishes.

i FIRST HEARD 'MARS' ON THE RADIO, IN 1949. I WAS 8 YEARS OLD., IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. IT WAS USED FOR THE OUTRO OF A RADIO SERIES, BASED ON H.G.WELLS BOOK, '' WAR OF THE WORLDS''.

Bro there's so much good classical music out there you have no idea

Shostakovich 11 and rite of spring are good ones to start with. More eastern and arythmic

You're lucky to be so young with so much yet to discover in this wonderful and infinite world of classical music. And so lucky to have KZfaq to help you discover all of it for free, when at your age I had to buy my own records...

You're absolutely right. I always liked classical music even as a child, but I'm in my late 60s now and still remember vividly the day a friend and I discovered his mother's recordings of The Rite of Spring, Petrouchka and Firebird. All three (but especially the Rite of Spring) made a huge impact on both of us. It was sounds and rhythms that we didn't even know were possible. I discovered Shostakovich a little later, and it also blew me away!@@finniananderson2007

@@69EBubu I HAD TO BUY SECOND HAND, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

I’m not your dad but you might want to consider moving on with your life. This piece is freaking amazing but 7 years is quite a long time to watch one video…

@@aaroncrnkovic1398 You're right. No one listens to music for more than a few months, at best. Oh, wait, Holst wrote the Planets in 1914 - 1916, yet we still listen to it.

Ik I meant that as a joke. I intentionally misread your comment as meaning you were sitting at your computer for seven straight years. Sorry I worded it poorly. As for the music I totally agree it’s as good now as it was back then. I’m seeing the Chicago S.O. play it live in a week so ig I kinda have to agree!

Holst is pretty much the reason we have band programs in this country.

It’s called the Planets. Not dwarf Planets. Also, Pluto hasn’t been discovered until the 30s I believe

You made my day (night)!

Neptune is one of the most difficult music in term of tone, especially because winds are almost every time on ppp nuance and it is very very hard to maintain accuracy at this low level. I love this concert but winds had some trouble to find the accuracy on this part.

@@drwuu596 I think Mercury is harder (definitely a finger twister). Mind you, I'm thinking of this a as a string player (specifically a cellist).

Pretty sure that's not what's behind his expression at 48:46...

@@johnpay8796 You never know. His Mom might not have been happy with his tempo for Jupiter...

where it belongs

My favorite will always be his face just before the climax of Uranus and toward the end of Neptune.

The BBC, has lost much of it's high eminence in recent years, but 'THE PROM's', re-awakens those skills. thank goodness.

VERY TRUE, UNFORTUNATE ABOUT OTHER ISSUES, BUT SELF INFLICTED.

SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS---there are thousands of depressed fans of this concert, who would be THRILLED to learn of it's revival.

HAPPY DAYS

THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL, ONCE HAD A REPUTATION FOR POOR SOUND. MORE RECENTLY, ITHAS BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED. OBVIOUSLY.

The original upload had 1.5 million views. It was then taken off for a year or two. I've only just rediscovered it, as many more will when word gets around.

Yeah, maybe it should be after Uranus

I agree. I'm sure they mentioned it before or in the program.

A very good point. Almost as bad as playing, knees-up- mother brown, after ELGARS NIMROD

i'M NOT, A TRAINED MUSICIAN BUT--IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PRINTED MUSIC SHEETS, WHICH THEY ALL HAVE. SO THEY ALL WORK FROM THE SAME MUSIC SHEETS, EVERY NOTE IS IN VIEW. tHATS WHY THEY ARE TRAINED AND ADVISED FOR SO MANY YEARS' AND SO IS THE CONDUCTORS LEADERSHIP, WITH HIS BATON.. I THINK YOU'LL AGREE, THE SYSTEM WORKS.
