Played this 65 years ago in high school. This is a wonderful recording.

heard this when I was 9....I'm 57 now still love it...wonderfull

Still a most amazingly conducted version

Happy Birthday to the Late Louis Herold Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

The best recording yet of this undervalued gem

Savanoff technique of conducting quickly implemented. Savanoff was my piano teachers piano teacher’s piano teacher’s teacher at the Moscow Conservatory.

This was on the first LP I ever bought - 1812 and other overtures with Nicolai Malko and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Some of these 'other overtures', including this one, seem to have fallen into almost obscurity. What a shame! Great performance of an exciting piece. Thank you so much for sharing.

Very nice! This has been a favorite of mine for over 55 years. Great tempo! Thank you for posting this.

Just before and up to 0:35 something very important occurs (Savanoff style switch!)…… this is the best conducting I’ve seen in a while. Conductor and orchestra are one entity… P.S……Savanov (alternate spelling) is in my musical lineage!

I LOVE this piece. Playing it with my orchestra in school, i'm 1st chair bass, and it's soooo fun :D

Love the clarinet solo! :) We're playing this in symphony orchestra, and it's amazingly fun!

Anda Panda cartoon brought me here for the full un altered piece! Magnificent at best !

I like this interpretation more than the other I found on here. I like it very much. Thanks a lot for the posting.

Great music! Great performance! A very special favorite of mine.

i love this piece!!! it's one of my favorites to play :D

A great performance!

Played the orchestral transcription of this in high school at state contest in 1987

Fntastic rendition of my favourite overture! Thank you for sharing this!

Magnífica execução de "Zampa - Overture"🎼🎶🎵👏👏👏👏

This is also one of my favorite transcriptions for symphonic band. I have conducted this piece many times,. It has never failed to excite players and audience alike. It's' what we call a 'War Horse" in the business. When I taught HS, it was on my revolving literature list. This assured that every student I taught got to play it. It's fun, technically challenging and most importantly teaches LYRICISM!! The final element so important , and yet seemingly ignored by so many contemporary composers.

Excellent performance!

De niño siempre me gustó esta overture

im playing this for string orchestra and this sounds awesome!!

Simply a beautiful piece. I am currently playing the four hands variations of this piece!

I love these old 'warhorses' - overtures like 'Poet and Peasant', 'Mignon', 'Light Cavalry', 'Oberon', 'Merry Wives of Windsor' - all ignored by musical snobs, but gems in their own right.

0:31秒の所で指揮棒落とされてます、サヴァリッシュにしては珍しい。それにしても指揮が美しい。

6:00 o Pica-Pau, o Andy Panda e um ratinho entram na casa da Glória Comilona e apronta horrores com o Leôncio na busca pela comida no episódio "O Fila Bóia"

si señor, una autentica maravilla,,bravo!!!!

Gostei, bela apresentação!

さすがサヴァリッシュ先生！

Tolle Aufnahme!

I have a complete Herold's ballet on CD, La Fille Mal Gardee.. great music

Está obra fue de las que iniciaron el amor hacia la música en mi infancia. Era un disco de baquelita de 78 RPM, con la Boston Pops orchestra y la escuché cientos de veces.

La clarinette de Yokokawa jouer d'excellente .Bravo!

The most expressive conducting I have ever witnessed a la Savanoff (my teachers teachers teachers teacher). (R.N.F. Luchonok > E. Gabelman > J. Kehvinne > Savanoff)

going to play this 'piece' in the coming music camp :D

Was this an encore? If so what a lucky audience. I just wish I could have been there. Indeed rare repertoire for Maestro Sawallisch but just look at his expression and how he enjoys conducting this. A real treasure. Thank you for this posting.

I played this music today...I play Cello BTW.

Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra playing this!

中学のとき吹奏楽部で演奏しました！ チューバでしたがテンポ掴むのが難しかったです！

6:00~7:00 Beautiful melody of strings 🎶

¡Demasiado buena!

I sure love this principal clarinetist, apart that some of the throat and lower tones were hard to hear, but that might have been something to do with mic'ing, hard to say if you weren't there. But all in clarino and altissimo very clear and nice ring, good line and nuance.

We played this in high school

California Youth Symphony associate orchestra is playing this :D

Yeah Im trying to figure that out too.

Sounds like the Bernstein version I carry around in my head, but more "orientalism" in some of the percussion. Has anyone ever done a ballet to it?

Savallish at his best.Very good \

Tolstoy, it's an overture!!!!!!!!!!!

i know...pretty sure we will improve greatly in the next 5 or 6 weeks

hopefully..

@rockthepiano4ever Garrett how the hell did you find my youtube channel... XD

doing a report on this song...interesting

OooooooooooOOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOOoo

First violin part at 6:01 to 7:00 kicks my butt >.>

0:23

How does a clarinet play 8:06????

Sawallisch è stato un grandissimo direttore non abbastanza valorizzato. Decisamente superiore a tanti altri più famosi

6:00

first of all because im only 11, i say this piece is a little challenging for me... remember this is from the view of an 11 year, otherwise its a great song. bravo!!!!!!!

it's fascinating - and distressing - why a such a good composer just drifted off into obscurity .... with just the one overture from dozens of operas surviving in the mainstream repertoire .... What was it ? bad timing ? out of fashion style? wrong country ? ..... and an early death .... heartbreaking ...

Má jediná před internetem nahrávka předehy Zampa byla mono z 1955 (FOK , dir. Jan Hus Tichý). Pojetí se nezměnilo, jen p. Sawallisch se nebojí dynamiky (ono to už jde, od té doby se pokročilo). Umožňuje to lepší, naléhavější výraz.

hmm? hong kong music camp?

Like , like , like.................................................

横川さん、ブラボー！！！

::: Herold a la Wagner... Interessant ... die deutlich schlankere KZfaq-Aufnahme mit Jean Martinon am Pult des LPO - zum erstaunlichen Vergleich (auch älteren Datums) - ist natürlich "französischer", eleganter - nicht ganz so pompös ...Dennoch: Sawallisch ist natürlich ein großer Maestro...

Did he put his baton in his suit jacket in the beginning?

..pero porque son todos chinos???????????????'

And now, to present this year's Drag Queen of the Year Award, last year's winner, put your hands together for... MISS RACHEL TENSIONS.

@gallespaul out of 2 basses

al principio se le volo la batuta ajaj

トライアングルご苦労様

@mountainrover This is an excellent performance BUT I prefer the one conducted. by Toscanini

wolfgang sawallisch a great loss to music

Yeah but we arent nearly this good yet xD

It really annoys me when some people call pieces like this songs'. It is not a 'song'.

lol

Asians only, or was that one trombonist black?

This isn't a song.
