They must be fun to go out to eat with.... "Waitress?" "Yes?" "Could you bring us another 5 glasses of water? We're missing some notes."

“What instrument do you play?” “I play drinking glasses.”

"I can't perform tonight." "Why not?" "I can't find my glasses."

This song is officially made specifically for this instrument and no one can convince me otherwise

I bet washing the dishes at their house is a real hoot 😂

Seems like this instrument is the one it should have been composed for.

They literally sound like strings and chimes. That's insane. Sounds more magical than the original version

If Tchaikovsky were alive today, witnessing this amazing rendition, he'd be swimming in tears of joy. Tchaikovsky: "Yesss! This is what I was trying to create! The most Sugar Plum Fairy (and Christmas) sounds ever!"

Fact: This is the optimal instrument for this song.

The dislikes are obviously the Mouse king and his army.

Not being a traditional instrument, it sounds almost otherworldly, which actually makes it sound MORE like fairy music. Bravo!

I didn't realize glass could sound this ethereal! A magical performance.

Teacher: don’t touch the beakers until I say so The kids in the back of the class:

It’s like a mix of bells and strings.

The ability of these two people to do this with such perfect timing! No adjectives good enough to describe this!

I have previously commented on these two geniuses. Having tried this with just a few of the right crystal glasses to obtain what you're hearing is brutally difficult. Watch their hands fingers, palms, thumbs, and a lot more so see how these intricate sounds are seemingly being accomplished. Have a hard time viewing this without tears in my eyes from this ethereal music. All I can say is Bravo!

*Can’t believe no one took the opportunity to call it ”Glassical music”*

Half of the comments: Instrumentation is on point Other half: ItS tHe aLgOrItHm

something so simple as a vibration can make our brains melt by such a amazing song... that most definitely feels out of this world, almost as if we found something we weren't meant to discover

Its Soooo impressive how they both memorised what sound each glass makes!! :)

"Cool champagne glasses, what do you call this?" "Oh, that's C."

This legit sounds like the whole orchestra

I am sitting costly in my little home in the woods, watching the snow fall on the forest outside my windows. This was the perfect thing to come across on this peaceful, dreamy day, it only makes it better that this is one of my all time favorite pieces of music!😊❄❄❄🌪🌬💖

Came here after watching Genshin 4.0 livestream. Such a beautiful musical instrument. Also great performance thank you for sharing.

This is how this song was meant to be played

See you in 10 years when this is in everyone’s recommended yet again.

Wunderschön 💞🕊❤🗽... Danke

Nothing can match the beautiful sound of a glass harp. This was a brilliant performance thank you.

I’m a ballet dancer who has performed the Nutcracker many times, and this is by far one of my favorite versions of this piece of music! Well done!

My friend: What kind of KZfaq videos do you watch? Me: it's complicated

Нам удалось услышать такую же игру вживую. Это был Бал Хризантем прошлой осенью. В Ялте, играл Мужчина. Великолепное звучание🥰💐

If I'd try that, I'd probably knock over at least five of them. And cry.

KZfaq recommended: 2011-2019: nah not yet 2020: go go go!

My friend: So what instrument do you play? Me: It's complicated.

The glasses must be glued to the table. Either that or these performers have the most-amazing dexterity and feel. BRAVO!

When your parents can’t afford the instrument you really wanted

Let’s be real here. We didn’t find the video. The video found us

It sounds like this piece was made to be played on glasses.

Such a beautiful tone, and it just proves that almost anything could be used as a musical instrument. When I was in university I did my thesis on that very subject. Turning every day household items into musical instruments, that play and sound completely unique from traditional instruments we are used to hearing. Almost anything can be used for percussion, I’m sure you’ve all seen videos of people carving out vegetables, especially the carrot, to be used as a flute of sorts, but I managed to make string instruments from tin cans, string, wire, just things most people have sitting around the house. If you have kids, and you want to get their minds going while having fun at the same time, challenge them to see if they can make up a musical instrument from every day ordinary objects in the house, you’ll be amazed at the things you can come up with, and yes, I even did the stereotypical milk carton ukulele, which actually sounded quite good to my surprise! I also did use glass, but not just wine glasses and goblets, but properly balanced on sticks, affixed with an adhesive, I was able to use dinner plates, water pitchers, cutlery, you name it. Sounds rather corny for a University thesis, but I am going to blow my own horn, pardon the pun, and tell you that my professor gave me a perfect score, and more than that, insisted that I bring all the instruments in to the lecture hall, and teach all the students what I had made and how to play them, and as it turned out it was actually pretty fun, we got a rivalry going! My fraternity brothers and I started to compete with other groups in the University, and we actually managed to put on a concert, for the entire university, even managed to raise $200,000 that we donated it to all local schools in the area, so that they may have a better music program for their students, it isn’t that wonderful? I grew up here in Toronto as my name suggests, lived here all my life, pathetically I haven’t gone far, I literally live four blocks from the hospital I was born in! But unfortunately a lot of the schools, both grade schools and high schools are like, have very poor or even absent music programs due to funding issues, so my professor came up with the idea of putting on a concert and charging money to raise funds for these underprivileged schools. Now it’s a yearly tradition, and although I haven’t kept up with the exact amounts, we have raise tens of millions of dollars over the decades, to help students have a proper introduction to music, and as a result, countless students that we helped ended up attending our universities music program, now that’s something to be proud of! But I’m not taking any credit, because it might’ve been my idea for my thesis, but literally hundreds of other people were involved in the creation of these challenges and concerts each year. Anyways, my apologies for rambling on as I always do, but I just had to throw that out there, and say don’t put limits on what you can achieve when it comes to music. Even my own family laughed at me when I was putting the so-called instruments together, but after receiving a perfect score, what does my father say? “Pretty good for junk that probably would have been throwing in the garbage”. Unfortunately, that was 40 years ago, and over the years, I have lost every single instrument that I created, but I also drew blueprints of every single one, so after watching this video, I think I’m going to try to re-create it just for fun. I’m desperately trying to get my grandchildren involved and interested in classical music, but being typical young people, all I get to hear is “that’s for old people“. But I think I can trick them into actually playing classical music on homemade instruments without them even realizing it. Do you want to know how I developed my love of classical music? It’s not because of my family, as I am the only person in my family with any musical interest or ability, it’s from watching Looney Tunes and other various cartoons that used a vast amount of classical music in their programs. Unfortunately, most of those cartoons are just not appropriate for today’s society, most being horrifically politically incorrect, as they were very very sexist, racist, homophobic, and every other social stigma you can imagine, but back when they came out, all those things were socially acceptable. I’m not saying they are acceptable, because after watching the same cartoons as an adult I was horrified, but the music is still there, I wish they would start re-introducing classical music into modern children’s programming. To be honest I don’t know anything about it, because my children are in their 30s, and my youngest grandson is already 13, so I don’t see children’s programs anymore. For those of you with young kids, do they still use classical music at all in children’s programming? If not, maybe that something we need to re-introduce. Classical music will never ever go out of style or die, if anything it’s experiencing a renaissance right now, but the best time to get children interested is preschool, because that’s when I fell in love with classical music. It’s such a different world today than it was when I grew up. I’m not that old, I’m not retired and I still work full-time, I’m in my mid-50s (I skipped several grades), but judging from my family, the younger ones have no interest in classical music whatsoever, and I’m desperately trying to change that, to open their minds to new experiences. Whenever they come over to the house, I always have classical music playing in the background, and then I hear the whining, the complaining, the accusations of listening to nothing but old man music, as they like to refer to it. Again my apologies for going off topic a bit, but it’s something I’m very passionate about, ironically I don’t even work in the music industry, but in medicine instead, but my love of classical music, has never left me, and I still play the piano, trombone, trumpet, tuba, both French and English horns, and I’m pathetically trying to learn the violin, but I’m absolutely useless at it, wind instruments seem to be my forte! Whatever the case, try to get your kids interested, it’s a proven scientific fact that children who grow up exposed to classical music, especially if they enjoy it and learn to playing instruments, greatly increase their neural plasticity, what more reason do you need? If only things weren’t so expensive, because I know how unaffordable most instruments are, even a cheap violin runs several hundred dollars, which isn’t much for me and a lot of people, but for most people who live on a budget and have children, it’s just not feasible, which is why we continue to raise funds every year at those concerts. Thanks for letting me ramble on and on, my gratitude for indulging me, all the best, and if you have any questions, feel free to respond to this post, I’d be happy to answer them. Many thanks, and take care.

Божественная мелодия🙏🙏

That was the coolest thing I’ve heard in a long time.

I was not prepared for how amazing this sounds.

This is unbelievably beautiful

Im STILL mesmerized by this technique. It's breathtakingly Beautiful. 🙏🏻💗💗💗👏🏻

Me: so you guys know how play any instruments. The Glass duo: Yes but no.

the fact that this was published 9 years ago but yet has better quality than some 2020 videos

The co-ordination and sheer musical skill between these two performers is astonishing! So very cool! Love and peace.

THIS IS GLASSICAL MUSIC.

“I play the violin” “I play the trumpet” I pLaY a GlAsS oF wAtEr

The glass is more in tune than my piano.

WOW! Note the size of the glasses, how full, and arranged from tallest to smallest. Amazing!

_Mom: "Stop playing with your cups."_ *_7 Year Old Me At The Dinner Table:_* *_Edit: I can't tell if y'all are getting the joke or if you really think I made music with 20 cups._*

I’m saving this video under “Crazy Russian Hacks.” Nothing less will do.

This moved me to tears. One of my absolute favorite songs, and definitely my favorite Christmas song! Stunning!

Wonderful ❤❤❤

I've just sat here quite literally gobsmacked for almost the entire piece - jaw dropped after less than 10 seconds and stayed that way. That's proper talent, that is. Yes it's 8 years old and yes, 'KZfaq recycles yet more old crap again' - but you know what - it's been years since I've seen this and I'd forgotten just how magical it sounds. Bravo KZfaq! You can spam me with this shit any day 😊

Sounds like it’s being played by fairies!

Потрясающее исполнение!!! БРАВО!!!

This so beautiful. I can feel every note. Thank you.

Did anyone else get this randomly in their recommended?

Friend: What kind of music do you listen to? Me: I listen to *Glassical Music*

So beautiful!

Fabulous. Didn’t want it to end even though I knew it was coming.. what a treat. Thank you.

The sound hypnotizes you that you cant stop listening to it

My friend: "What instrument do you play?" Me: "The Glass."

Absolutely beautiful. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is one of my favorite instrumental songs of all time.

Beautifully amazing❤

Fun fact: Most of us didn’t search this up.

"No one can bring this song to its purest form....." Glassduo- 'hold our glasses'

Simply awesome!!!

Beautiful

"Do you play music" "Yes" "What instrument" "Its complicated"

i can finally say that i believe in magic now.

Outstanding!

This is the perfect instrument for this song! bravo!

My clumsy self would probably end up knocking over all the glasses

Beautiful!

This is just so beautiful

Goes to instrument shop: “Hello how can I help?” “I would like 100 glasses of unique size please”

I have played a glass harp, and I will gladly tell you , this is not easy!

Beautiful!!!!

Fantastic!

Once, a music teacher told me that the musical glasses were not instruments, I told her there were and she kicked me out of the class. I should show her this masterpiece.

Very impressive. Incredibly beautiful. Thank you.

Сказочно!!! 😍😍😍 Thank you guys, this is beautiful 💗

This must be what it’s like to have perfect pitch. Tuning those glasses would be a nightmare for us mere mortals.

The dislikes are from the coffee mugs

Wow! Wonderful!

beautiful!

Let’s face it: nobody looked this up.

2011: the internet isn’t ready 2012: still, no 2013: not yet 2014: nope 2015: keep them waiting 2016: nope 2017: still no 2018: maybe soon 2019: one more year 2020: okay, the internet I ready

Beautiful and inspiring. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

i don't think playing them is the hardest part of this... i mean they had to add specific amounts of water to specific sized glasses in order for them to be in tune. an excess of drop could literally make a note sharp. props to them

The last time I was in Venice, I came across a girl performing this song on glasses of water in a public square. It was beautiful. This one sounds even better, though, but I’m guessing it’s at least in part because they’re in a performance hall and have even more glasses at their disposal. Love that people have these talents!

Just wonderful

Truly amazing!

Is no one going to talk abt their album being called “GLASSIFIED”

Somehow this sounds more magical than the original instruments the piece was designed for

Amazing ! 🙏🏻
