I sent the link to this video to my Dad, who loves the Spaghetti Westerns. The next week my Mom calls complaining he won't stop listening to it. Lol!

We are very proud of our symphony orchestra. They have several amazing performances here on youtube.

Morricone..what a genius he was.

I'm glad someone mentioned the oboe player. He really summoned that part.

I’m squalling I’m 57 years old and I’ve been listening to this all my life,I lost my daddy 2 1/2 years ago to Brain cancer and this takes me home ❤️😢😭❤️ it’s one of the most Amazing beautiful songs in the world

We Italians, and therefore you too, should be very proud to have had such a composer, such a genius, who left us not only “soundtracks” but real works of art !! Together with the great director Sergio Leone (another great Italian and great artist of his kind), they entered the history of cinema.

4:40 -- This 2nd selection is called "Ecstasy of Gold" and appears later in the movie when Tuco (Eli Wallach) is racing through a cemetery frantically searching for a particular grave marker. I think the passage at 7:32 is exquisite. The sharp ending is the moment when Tuco spots the grave marker. This performance is very close to the one in the movie except even more robust.

Lets' give a little love and respect to the friggin conductor, Sarah Hicks! Sarah is an American guest conductor here, spent 15 to 20 hours dissecting the score, rehearsed the symphony orchestra to reflect her vision of the piece and flawlessly led them to this conclusion. Sarah is a graduate Magna Cum Laud of Harvard University and principal conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra. She is sought after the world over as a guest conductor. The girl knows her shit! So young to hold this position of respect!

At last! A reaction to soundtrack that someone understands why this is stunning and prevocative...

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra, have from time to time a theme night, its not often but it have happen a few times. This was from their Western theme, They have also done "For a few dollars more" & Once upon a time in the West. As well as a Starwars night, a James Bond night, A Fantasy night (Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Narnia), A Sci-Fi Night (Fifth Element, Blade Runner, Interstellar, Star Trek), A Mafia themed (Godfather, The untouchables,). I have not heard them all, and its been awhile. Thanks for the nice words about us danes :-)

I've enjoyed attending symphony orchestras many times in my life.Yes, a good rock band with dedicated musicians who've honed their craft over the years is always admirable and worth merit, but forty or fifty highly-trained and educated...as you said....'world class' musicians is something else entirely.

I love watching Sarah Hicks conducting at a live performance. All of her hard work at bringing the orchestra and choir together plus a soprano solo. She shows absolute delight as she conducts and it all comes together.

Deeper reaction than others. Actual commentary on orchestra, instruments, etc. Others just say "wow" and "I'm speechless." Eye roll.

I bought the CD of this entire performance and watched it last night. All the pieces played here are DNSO arraignments so they differ somewhat from the original Morricone arraignments. The first part was their version of the main GBU theme. The second part with the piano and oboe is called The Ecstacy of Gold, again by Morricone and from the film score for GBU. DNSO, WOW! Unmatched talent and wonderful performance. Yeah, ide have to say they take this stuff seriously. That's an understatement. So much so that the guy hanging was likely a former musician that was 2 hundredths of a second behind the rest of the orchestra, or missed a note during a rehearsal or something. Morriconne himself is undoubtedly standing and enthusiastically applauding.

The second movement is "Ecstacy of Gold", when Tuco (Eli Wallach) was running around the cemetery looking for the plot that had the buried gold.

The whistling lady is Tuva Semmingsen, she's a great singer, search her out on KZfaq.

The Waa waa lady is Tuva Semmingsen of Norway.

When I listen to this it just me glow with Italian pride. We know cinema, music & of course cooking. 😏

So wonderful to see a reaction from somebody who obviously, truly loves, understands, and ‘gets’ real music. Thank you my friend. 🙏🍻

Tears ??? Me too Pal. I'm old enough to remember the film as a kid [baby boomer] and you could call this piece a tribute to our young now long gone. I will post this on May 31st on Clint's 91 birthday ~ Blessings and BTW, your backround in music with your commentary is by far the best I've seen. Hats off to Sarah Hicks as well~

A lot of people react to the DNSO playing "The Good The Bad and The Ugly". I just wish the other movie tracks they've played got more attention as well. These guys are masters of what they do.

Well, you got me! I'm a sucker for any DNSO reaction video. So glad you liked it. I've seen some reactors when the hanging man kind of threw them for a loop. Glad you caught the reference. Hope to see more reactions from you.

One of the great themes by Morricone. Gabriels Oboe or in song form Nella Fantasia is another of his wonderful works

He also composed the score for John Carpenter's the Thing, simply amazing and haunting.

Ennio Morricone actually gave a concert in Copenhagen, shortly before he died. I'm sad that I wasn't there.

Greetings from Sweden. I really enjoyed this reaction video, it was great in every way. Thanks!

It is music to enjoy it, wonderful 👂💞👏👏👏👏👏

so much talent. the waa waa lady, the so so serious violin player, the horn player with whale lungs and OMG the angel on balcony. just look at all the peoples eyes so into it so much talent!

Imagine being one of the audience members 2 ft behind the Opera singer. How amazing would that be.

Thanks for your nice reaction Matt 😀

The named: "Round Midnight". The set in the film, which takes place in Paris, is a Copy of a famous, Danish Jazz Restaurant, aptly named, Montmartre, in Copenhagen, which for years collected a number of Famous American Jazz Musicians, and some died and are buried in Copenhagen!

Kudos for mentioning 'Cinema Paradiso' ... beautiful movie

Appreciate your background and your musical expertise thank you for the reaction

This concert was from a live broadcast on danish national tv themed: _An evening with the music of Ennio Morricone._ This score was just a little snippet of the entire evenings concert. Honoring the music scores of mr Morricone. Fun fact: Waa-waa-lady is a norwegian singer named Tuva Semmingsen. She has her own channel on YT.

I recently watched the entire movie with this concert in mind and In my opinion which is based on my experience as a musician and a killer Home Surround System I fully believe that this concert is a note for note, instrument for instrument recreation of the actual movie score. Even the male vocals! It is just amazing!

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra has made a number of cover concerts of classical film melodies and computer games. They have made whole concerts dedicated to computer game music. It gives something special, when it is recorded by a world-class symphony orchestra. Here is a small list of tracks that are worth a closer look: I have made a small list from any of their concerts that are on youtube.

That old Strat has seen a few years of love. Thanks for sharing, Matt.

I saw Ennio Morricone aka (The Maestro) when he was doing music tour & came to Dublin Ireland twice 1st show in Sept 2017 & final show on February 2019

tuva has some astonishing vocal skills but I love the sopranist in this one. gosh when she sang the pre-chorus or bridge whatever u wanna call it with the back and forth between high and low notes that was insane.

Yes, music is written by Ennio Morricone (10.November 1928 - 6.Juli 2020) and belongs to the spaghettiwestern "Dollar-trilogy", directed by Morricone's schoolfriend Sergio Leone. Those were the films that really got Clint Eastwood's career started! Edit: Morricone wrote the Soundtrack for over 500 films, plus other works too!

By the way, The Wah, Wah Lady is a Norwegian Mezzosoprano, Tuva Semmingsen, and she still gets Fan mail from this performance! It a Top Crew all over, also the American Conductor!

My moisturizer acted up on me at the same time too. Enjoyed the info!

If this is your style of reaction then I will subscribe. No vulgar language how refreshing.

im glad you mention ennio morricone very few do in reaction, the genius behind the music.

I think they may have the same moisturizer as you. Good reaction to a great piece of art 😁

*mentions Norway, clicks like before he is finished*

Ennio Morricone. The Genius!

This is awesome 👍❤️!!!!

I heard that the guy hanging from the rafters was a patron who had forgotten to turn his cell phone off, which the Danish take very seriously. ;-)

You are the first person I have come across reacting to this music who KNEW the movie, none of these other reactors while amazed by the music understood where it came from and the poor hanged guy gave a few of them quite a start! The commenters just said that when the orchestra changed conductors they hanged the previous one.

Ennio fue un genio, es maravilloso todo lo que hizo, todo es fantastico.....amo esta musica 😌👍❤️

Completely original for me !!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The 1 2 by The Soprano and The Mezzo Soprano is the Bomb

Wow. I cried listening to this 😃

Amasing

I loved your reaction Matt! Greetings from Rome, that's true what somebody else has already written: Leone and Morricone were two geniuses. Fausto Papetti is famous too in Italy and about the soundtracks, by Morricone, in Nuovo Cinema Paradiso are simply amazing!!!!! (I like "Childhood and Manhood" from that movie so so much!!!!)

Saw the Morricone Duel live yesterday - Brilliant and actually included "Cinema Paradiso" amongst others. Fun fact: The messoprano Tuva Hemmingsen is norweigan!

a God of the Morricone soundtracks, it seems to be riding in the West in the desert, creepy🌹🤠🌹🤠 Amazing!!!!!!

I've watched many reactors doing this song and have been shocked that most of them don't know where it came from. Since you enjoy his movie scores, you should check out the video of his song "Your Love" from Once Upon a Time In the West. The first half is hummed by Edda Dell'Orso as recorded in 1968 and the second half is the vocal version by then 14-year-old Jackie Evancho recorded in 2014.

Great artists having fun. Next time you watch check out the "WA WA" lady's ear rings, perfect.

The video on the right is the wah wah singer showing her beautiful voice you should react to it. Diamonds are a girl's best friend

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra is on my bucket list as are the 2cellos of which I have tickets for their US tour in early 2022

cheers from denmark.. look the waaw waah girls earrings are sixshooters

ennio morricone was an genious and this orchestra has hit the western triologies out of the park, but agree with you about cinema paradiso but you should also check out the mission, melena , le proffessionals soundtracks.

re: the eye. Leave it alone. The more you rub it, the more it stings. Great reaction video, with some great insights (oboe particularly)

Try also to listen to the music of the move called "The Sicilian Clan", Morricone composed extraordinary music, difficult to choose the best one.

The movie would have been up for Academy Awards

I have deep respect for professional musicians. This many people at the peak of talent dedicated to their craft, the feeling it gives me is hard to explain. May I suggest "Hoedown" or "Fanfare for the common man" both by Aaron Copeland. Any video of quality will do.

I watch these performances and I really can not wrap my head around how anyone has the ability to do this. Even the lighting and sound engineering would be an amazing amount of vision and planning. Four guys with a guitar, base. drums and a vocalist seems possible but this stuff..........

They did Once Upon a time in the west! its awesome check it out! Great reaction!

Since you are a musician, I would love a commentary on the music itself. The feeling of loneliness on the tomtom at the beginning and the sense of foreboding in the wah wah wah.

Besides the fantastic music that you can enjoy... Did anyone notice the cute little pistols on the earrings of the "Wah wah lady"?

Loved it.. Did you notice that the lady singing the “Wah Wah” was wearing gun earrings?

They did a lot of movie scores that night.

I think, in the second part, that it's the original score. There are several versions of the GBU "out" and a common, televised version is shorter than the original version (also misses several scenes that got cut). The part to which Ecstasy of Gold was writting, is also shorter in the televised version by several seconds.

You should watch the video of the Danish National Orchestra doing the theme from the James Bond film "Dr. NO". Would love to see your reaction to it. Keep up the great work.

Heavy stuff man reminds me of the Native Americans in the desert nation’s just reminds me of that place)s I’m Irish what would I know lol yes it’s longer here but was written this long first time around 💫💫

Damn You know music

That's alright let those tears flow.

The Scandinavians are the best!

My fav singer is chris Stapleton check out “Sometimes I cry” live it’s unreal

His is immortalised through the internet archives

Not sure what you're refering to in regards to the composition, but the second half of the piece is actually "The Ecstasy of Gold" - "L'Estasi Dell'oro" by Morricone, from the same movie (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly).

❤️ Morricone compositore Italiano emozionante

Like Matt said, the Danish, and Scandinavians in general, have some really great classical talent. The "wah wah" women in this is actually Norwegian. Her name is Tuva Semmingsen. The incredible soprano soloist is Christine Nonbo Andersen. I believe the instrument that caused Matt some confusion are the chimes. I've listened to the original music score, conducted by Bruno Nicolai, and this pretty accurately honors and duplicates the original score, it's only done better and with improved sound quality.

A young Lady by the name of Carolina Eyke has done an absolute amazing job doing a short of the second half of this song The Ecstasy Of Gold with her very unique and powerful instrument, the Theremin. Honestly despite there being so many 'Masters' of that instrument in the past, she is the only one i have seen to actually really Master it with the very particular method that she came up with on her own. She has managed to pull out the full capacity and capability of that instrument. Honestly watching her play is a must. She has also done an amazing recording of Kate Bush's song Babushka.

Greetings from Tromsø, Norway

As an oboe player, I can tell you that reed making is a Royal Pain In The Ass! BTW, in this piece he is playing the English Horn.

HELLO MATT, I RARELEY WATCH THESE TYPES OF PERFORMANCES, BUT I WAS EVER SO GLAD I DID. THE PERFORMANCE WAS SO CAPTIVATING AND MAJESTIC. TO SEE SO MANY GIFTED MUSICIANS ALL INSINC WAS TRULY REMARKABLE. I APPRECIATED ALL YOU SAID, AND BY THE WAY WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT INSTRUMENT WHERE THE GUY USED 2 WHITE 'PLASTIC TYPE' HAMMERS. TAKE CARE FROM EMILIO IN ADELAIDE CITY IN AUSTRALIA

RIP , maestro Ennio !

The "wha-wha" woman (with the revolver ear-rings) is norwegian.

Fausto Papetti and Cinema Paradiso!!!!! Quanti ricordi.

the oboe player looks just like james comey lol, But no, this piece of music is absolutely moving and amazing!

I also wept

The oboe is actually an english horn a nice guy corrected me. :-)

Grande Ennio . Rimase malissimo come tutti noi a non vincere con " Mission " l' oscar 😢😢😢😢😢. Che bella che e'❤

Subscribed. Please react to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra playing music from Once Upon a Time in the West. Tuva Semmingson (the Wah Wah singer in this video) will bring you to tears.

You also need to check out a young girl 14 years old named Angelina Jordan who recently released her debut single called “million miles” check out her acoustic live version Its about her grandfather. She is super talented

Listen to "Once Upon A Time In The West"

2nd part is another whole song: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr95Y5yBsrTFqqs.html - The Ecstasy of Gold. Best movie music ever made. Period.
