This is the second piece from this orchestra that I have seen( the other being Orpheus in Hades) and I love their work. The wind section in particular is fantastic and the conductor is high energy and really guides the musicians through the ebbs and flows of the music. I liked the camera showing the harpist who is often not shown in other productions.

This performance is so moving, it reminds me of my childhood experience of reading the Classics Illustrated comic book of Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET while listening to a record of this work. Tchaikovsky's fantasy overture was the first music I associated with the story, and seeing the overture performed here makes me cry for Romeo and Juliet, who, "with their death bury their parents' strife."

@@cluckoothechicken5721 I said nothing of the sort. I said the conductor does his work in rehearsal long before the audience gets there. When the conductor points and the cymbals crash and exactly the same time in the performance. It is because it was worked out weeks in advance. It is not because the cymbal player had the time to react the pointing during the performance. Having said that -Toscanini's orchestra played for years after his death with the concert master giving the downbeat and then sitting down with no one on the podium.

Hello again from an admirer in Texas, USA. While watching this excellent performance of the Romeo and Juliet Overture I noticed two notable instances of orchestra members appreciating the beauty of the music as they played. One, the lead flute beginning at 17:48 is playing beautifully at a particularly emotional part of the score. If you continue watching as she plays, at 17:57 she visibly reacts to the beauty of the chord change by a slight lift of the left shoulder and her eyes close. Beautiful and inspiring. The other is the second chair first violinist who's face lights up at the last note! Just lovely!

I am coming late to this video but I agree with all the positive comments. I am enjoying it a lot. As for the timpani roll at the end, I agree that it ends with a quarter note at the beginning of the last measure and there is a prolonged whole note or final chord for others. But I liked the ending as they played it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I had much rather hear these young people perform than nearly any professional orchestra on earth. There are very few orchestras playing and very few maestros conducting with the verve and intensity of these students and their faculty. Others have commented on the appreciation of the beauty of the music, and I must whole-heartedly agree. "Between Heaven and earth" is indeed appropriate for this concert. Thank you so much!

This piece of music started my appreciation of classical music about seventy years ago, I came across this version purely by chance and I have now thrown out my CD of the Berliner Philharmoniker under Herbert von Karajan playing it as I will never listen to it again after hearing the Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra's version! There are so many potential artistes here it is utterly amazing, many I have managed to trace as they've been identified in other videos but I wish I knew the first oboe's name, she's brilliant and I would love to find out what has happened to her, any of the worlds finest orchestras would accept her with open arms I'm sure. Maestro Nejc Becan is simply fabulous, not a note of music in front of him and I had the distinct impression he was playing every instrument in his own mind. The most exciting conductor I've ever seen. Mike Stirgess
