[Anaklus]

I took a shit to this song... most epic thing in the world

[danishpride1]

Thumbs up if 4:57 make you jump up!

[Tribute1875]

For a moment there it sounded like Vaughan William's Lark Ascending.

[halstarkey]

Too bad this breaks during the trombone II's solo.

[iDarkShoGun]

Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov are gods

[changchubdorje]

Doh... Violas where are you??!! Pizzicato doesn't mean "inaudible!"

I remember playing this classical piece in Orchestra class years ago in high school, which seems like another life time:-) This song was probably the most difficult piece I ever performed. And it was not one that was supposed to be possible for high school students to play. The music was out of print even then, and so I never thought that I would ever be able to listen to this song again. Thank you to the one who posted this. I loved listening to it again.

@SpeedyRoadRunner55 I'm actually playing this in my high school orchestra concert next week!

[SpeedyRoadRunner55]

@Harley091594 I think it is great that you are playing this piece. Of all the music pieces, this one was the most difficult to play, & my most favourite at the same time. We were not supposed to be able to play this piece, as it was to be a piece more for a professional orchestra. But play it we did-and successfully, too. So I bet you & your orchestra will play it successfully, as well:-) Oh, and have fun with it, too, as it was a neat song to play.

[Harley091594]

@SpeedyRoadRunner55 Thanks, it actually went great! We played this along with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

@ 6:41 Christ is risen from the dead, Trampling down death by death,  And upon those in the tombs Bestowing life!

[Zilverzmurfen]

This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful piece of "classical" music ever composed! It gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes.

[TimStatic]

@Zilverzmurfen amen. i was going to say the same thing you did. by FAR the best piece of music ever written.

[djalternegro]

@Zilverzmurfen

i agree. glenn dicterow at the 1. violin.

[bitterbum1]

@Zilverzmurfen i think "daphnis et chloe" gives it a good run for its money.

[pylgrym]

Of the Russian, by the Russians, for the WORLD! Thank you for the BEST! He is risen, indeed!
