[jgesselberty]

This is superb. This ensemble has much to be proud of. Very clear, precise and forceful.

[franciscolopezus]

Excellent performance and production.

What a great orchestrator Prokofiev is.

[elainebmack]

Korean musicians are very disciplined. Interesting how such a small country like Korea can support the arts so well, yet the big, rich USA cannot, and will not. It's all a matter of priorities I guess.

@elainebmack if you only knew the truth....

[elainebmack]

@banihex . The truth? Tell me a bit more please. I'd like to know.

Eine sehr schoene Auffuehrung!

The conductor hits the score with his baton on the first down swing. It can be both seen and heard. I don't think he meant to do that.

The Prince Alexander is alive wiht this cantata!!

[Strefanasha]

sorry, it has to be in the original russian . . . . . . "na smert bit" not "shall be put to death" etc etc etc.

why could they not learn the russian words?

well done otherwise. what a pity the words were not right

[a4b6c10]

@Strefanasha I believe it is in Russian. Certainly isn't English. 

[a4b6c10]

@a4b6c10 Wait, I take that back. At least some of it is in English.

[a4b6c10]

@Strefanasha The retraction of the comment I just made to you was accidentally addressed to myself. It seemed like some of it was in Russian and some was in English, but I can't be absolutely sure. I did recognize the English version of the very last song, but I didn't pick up any English earlier on.

Daaaaaadaadaaaa...

MWAAAAAAAANAAAHHhhhh

[slothropgr]

Great performance and sound--loud & raucous--and all in one file! But these Koreans are singing this Russian cantata in English! Except for the Latin, of course. First time I've heard it this way since the Reiner version. Even better--the "Fields of the Dead" soloist is in Russian, much more appropriate. One niggle--if I remember my Latin, "cymbalis" should be pronounced "kimbalis." Latin "c'" is "k". Sorry, showing off. Excellent, the best I've found on Y-T.

[papoocanada]

such a great orchestrator Prokofiev was

Hi, I'm Producer about this Video (No Commercial Film)

This Performance Recorded in 25. March .2011 KyeMyung Art center in Daegu S.korea performance by Daegu City Orchestra & Daegu City Choir

[Mushyrulez]

An amazing performance.

May I ask which orchestra is performing? This is all the more amazing when you realize Koreans are singing in Russian (I think; I can't understand Russian, but their Russian accents sound extremely standard).

Prokofiev would be proud.
