[delectablepet]

[tamarvil]

woww

[KodKelden]

Мы только что /7 октября 2011/ были на концерте в Крокусе, Москва. По-другому исполнялась рапсодия с вокалом. Зал качался огнями. О!

Спасибо :)

[TheCrazyestDaneAlive]

@KodKelden Oh i couldn't agree more :D

[Howcool10]

Don't forget "Symphonic Queen" at the Royal Albert Hall on the 18th October 2011. A concert not to be missed!

[petrucci15]

@Howcool10 oh i missed it :( haha

[EilandSair]

4:28 LIKE ANY OTHER VERSION OF BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! This music has embedded a deep soul that's transferred in any version of any genre.

[maximumridechik]

oh my god, eargasm

[HolyChiz21]

That's mine and my BFFs song haha

[JoseNeutro]

Magnificoooo

[TheJaredtheJaredlong]

I like how in the orchestral version they still use an electric guitar.

[juliesfar]

7 people has no sound on their computer.

[wheenallida]

wonderful!

[AlanKey86]

Thanks for uploading this! This is definitely my favourite arrangement of the song. I've overbudded Queen's original vocals onto this for an altogether... different listening experience. I'll post it as a video response.

[BarryAtlBch]

Freakin fantabulous!!!!!!!

[yeison5503]

que linda cancion

[24262748]

Freddie was then and will always be the greatest !! RIP Freddie.

[abott26]

Bravo Bravo!!

[OFreakGirlO]

lol nothing could replace the magical sound of the Red Special

[MrShadowThief]

It's clarinet playin' in rhapsody? *-*

[globalwalkteam]

me encanta!!! donde podria encontar la partitura. the score... xD

[oohivy]

I love it when it all kicks off at 4.27

[Tim3Po]

Beautiful!!

[TheHollandHS]

3:31 Lady Gaga!

[TheMusicman2015]

Best version ever

[takenoiodahara]

classical instruments AND queen... prayers answered! proves Freddy's greatness~ *salutes* was having goosebumps the whole time i was listening to this~ AMAZING!

[Everbright888]

There is a little guitar at around 3 min period, but certainly more would be appreciated, but how would you cut anything to make way for it?

[PinoyLabanFighter198]

Love it they just had to put the guitar

[nicofernaro]

About to cry,simply amazing

[issueagent]

Mission impossible. from 4:27

[justicierodelaweb]

parece vals de quinceañera............jajajaj­ajajaja

[Howcool10]

SYMPHONIC ROCK TONIGHT - 31ST MARCH 2011 - 7.30 PM - ROYAL ALBERT HALL - DON'T MISS IT - IT WILL BE GREAT.

[shyoon1]

better than london symphony. London's was ruined by that awful opera vocals.

[KvalnirFox]

It's a nice piece. Always enjoyed it somewhat. That being said, it's also propably the most overrated song of all time. In the end it's just a goofy song about a boy who killed somebody and is now scared shitless. *preparing to get flamed the hell out from Queen fanboys ;)

[Chibiknux]

@KvalnirFox well the lyrics are about that but i think it still a really creative and unique song. i respect your opinion cuz is honest and you're not being rude and that's cool c:

[KvalnirFox]

@Chibiknux Yeah thanks for that, lets respect everyones opinions:)

[Sakura06Chan]

@KvalnirFox oh? what about 'a horse with no name'? that song is loved by everyone, but has absolutely no deeper meaning at all. the lyrics are honestly MADE UP. but you can find deeper meaning in everything, lol. I'm pretty sure B Rhasphody was made pretty much the same way. there are lots of people who think it is about aids, however.

think what you will. it's still an amazing song. : /

[hoff1967]

@Sakura06Chan Are you high? The aids epidemic didn't start till around 1981 and this song was written in the mid 70's.

[Sakura06Chan]

@hoff1967 can you read? I said that there are lots of people who think it is about aids.

I know it is not.

[KvalnirFox]

@Sakura06Chan Yeah horse with no name has funny words..I quess you can relate to them if you have ever been lost in a desert..?

[TheRPGPlayer]

@KvalnirFox

...yeah, the lyrics are completely random. But I enjoy it nonetheless.

[msroxane18]

mabuhay kau..galng ninyo po;

[msroxane18]

wow galing...

[mercuryplannet]

it is the best song of all time, no matter what your preferences are..

[TheLittleBoyNextDoor]

@mercuryplannet no, not if you wanna dance :D but thats not my preference :P

[bettinifabio]

ahah la batteria ha sbagliato a 4:20 XD cmq bella canzone :D

[WAMEDJO]

I would have put 2 maybe 3 harps to play the piano part, and at 4:26 a different percussion (maybe some timbals rolling played crescendo at some strategic moments) and keep the whole bass section only to play that part, more or less like the scherzo in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Anyway, it's amazing to see how this kind of arrangement put on the spotlights Freddie Mercury's classical roots ; it sometimes seems to have been composed this way

[Howcool10]

Hear "Bohemian Rhapsody" live with the RPO "Symphonic Rock" concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 31st March 2011. Fantastic concert held each year.

[OFreakGirlO]

the guitar solo is irreplaceable  :D

[OFreakGirlO]

BALLET hehe ;)

[Fernandito231]

awesome ... I love It.

[Serpentman30]

Not many people know this, but this song has been voted the best ever British Song every single year since it was created.

xD I can see why...

[plutao]

th hyme of mankind Mr Mercury Thank You for this jewel...

[bwc3821]

What instrument is that playing the guitar solo?

[OHADI22]

@bwc3821 a guitar.

[KantoIkari]

somewhere, freddie is smiling while hearing this song

[SkynyrdGirl]

@KantoIkari you made me smile while reading your comment while listening to this song! :') Freddie would be proud!

[fairyfellermaster]

it sounds like it was meant to be a classical piece that goes to show you the immense talent of queen. Thanks queen for showing that rock music is capable of many things, thanks for showing rock is the greatest music ever.

[Numdenu]

2:46 DAMN!

[DNAunion]

I was going to say they WAY underused the trumpets: they FINALLY got the trumpets to come in for excitement after the operatic part, but there were earlier parts where I think they also could have been used to good effect. But overall, very good arrangement.

[dgmlxcbl]

♪easy com easy go ♫ ♪like your mom shes a ho♫

[sandboxducktape]

i know the lyrics to this so well i swear i can her the lyrics in the music.

[camerococonut7]

Slipcock is not better than Queen

[brinkofmadness]

@xxpeniskingxx  troll harder faggot

[camerococonut7]

@xxpeniskingxx Slipcock is not better than Queen.

Go die in a whole.

RESPECT FREDDIE!

[BrokenCDprodux]

@xxpeniskingxx The words of a truly small-dicked insecure little boy.

[shadowrose8907]

@BrokenCDprodux also the username of a small-dicked, insecure little boy; really, "penisking"?

[masterkayaki]

man these kids nowadays really dont make music as legendary as this anymore

[MeaghanThew]

my school band gets to play this song at our first concert

[Andrea421578963]

I think that everyone here was singing the lyrics in his mind while listening xDD

I did, at least.

[ledzeppsam]

@Andrea421578963 I was just going to say that!

[PHANTOMLORD621]

@Andrea421578963 i was singing the lyrics out loud!

[GloriaD5767]

Holy Cow! Way cool song in a way I've never heard it before!!!!!

[Gianmarcodrummer]

Kill the drummer xD

[pookerville]

This is actually by the London Symphony Orchestra.

[TheLittleBoyNextDoor]

the royal philharmonic orchestra has an electric guitar??

[Perid0tStar]

@TheLittleBoyNextDoor haha yea that kinda surprised me too--i wonder if they had somone already adept at that or if they had to run out and find somone x) great rendition though! very enjoyable

[aalg4c]

@TheLittleBoyNextDoor it is probably a rogue violinist.

[QueenofSharpies]

DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

[femoman]

Honestly better than the LSO's version.

[Trenegeut87]

When I hear a whole orchestra trying to replace one man...

Then I realize what a great performer Freddie Mercury used to be :)

[aguerrero84]

Somewhat beautiful on it's own (although I'm not a fan of the percussion at all), but the absence of Freddie is so noticable; It shows just how important he was to this great music.

[coricom]

yes, wow, indeed. one of the best interpretations. Vivat Queen in our hearts! :)

[Blackdragon595]

@coricom One of the best interpretation? I'm sorry, but didn't u heard the guitarist murder them solos? As they were played I look across my room my Red Special was crying!

[CoolErou]

Amazing... just amazing =)

[Harlan346]

This is a prime example of The Emperor's New Clothes fable. In this case, it's rather worthless music to start with. And it's played rather poorly by an otherwise fine symphony orchestra. So call it a "sym-phony" arrangement, a wordplay of the word "phony" in this case. :)

[pablooctavio]

sin palabras...

[SethInDisarray]

Phenominal. Freddie would have been proud.

[andraken]

This is so perfect it could have been written originally for the orchestra

[LarissaBogdan]

ohh i really love that song..is my favorit..and...witk that orchstra..the sound is very............beautifull...g­ood work

[artbrondo]

do you have the album of this one?i would like to know so i can buy a copy also..really cool

[mizzy05F]

nice

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

this is beautiful, i love you freddie

[iT4L3NT3D]

Amazing.. Freddie can be proud!

[emmcorr10]

i really love this song!!!

[gezakekazeg56]

The Qween is the best "everday"

[seenandnotheard]

okay so far at 1:31 so far so good

better than how they played love of my life

[guengabriel]

eine derschönsten danke

[101jir]

What is so weird was Queen just took this song and added lyrics. There origanally were no lyrics. It is actually quite funny that Queen interpreted the song that way.

[vordme1]

@101jir freddie wrote this song with lyric he did not take it and add lyrics he wrote them. IT IS A QUEEN SONG end of!!!!!!

[bijou201]

@101jir Dude what a hell are you talking about? What king of original with no lyrics??!?! This song is from 1975, it's Mercury's song. Queen performed it originally with lyrics and melody! (see wiki)

Freddie Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody (lyrics and music) - alone. He wrote most of "BoRhap" at his home in Kensington (West London). Most of Queen's songs was written in the studio, but BoRhap was all from Freddie's mind. :)

[iT4L3NT3D]

@101jir LOL are you serious?

[domino592]

@101jir that's the dumbest shit i've ever heard of in my entire life...you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for it

[Queeniac21]

@101jir I just died a little inside... FAIL. FREDDIE WROTE THIS YOU FOOL!

[iSNEEZES]

epic

[unnique69]

melt down with Mercury...rhapsody remains.

[andersonchap]

Truly a masterpiece!

Ah! and he died so young..... what other masterpieces may we have heard......

[animaeluver]

epic music or band does it too.

Go Pride of Roland

[sailorleo]

not gonna lie, there was some face melting action going on

[hornalicious]

Love the horn quartet in the beginning! :)

[boehlf]

Very nice, but the arrangement is a bit too soft. Without the electrical edge, it tends to loose its bite. Apart from that, why have a drum in it?

[retardedwhale]

holy shit. electric guitars in here too!

[openyershat]

Out-Friggin-Rage-ous!

I'm shedding tears right now

I did'nt mean to be rude but Freddie is a visionary legend!

[vampy0007]

EPIC ¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Giuliano66695]

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!!!

I think this is the first time I like a version of boh rhap without freddie just as much as i love it when he is singing!

[Otacon144]

@Giuliano66695: I think Freddie is nodding contentedly up in Heaven right now.

[KidOnTheNet]

Amazing!!! can't believe what i just heard!

didn't know bohemian rhapsody could be played like that... how would you sing it with the orchestra?

[elkopiero]

Sublime !!!

[DonnatellaLauren]

i cry....

[Nada994]

As a player of the Frech Horn,

I find this amazing and inspiring!

FHorn isn't easy :].

[calvinbayato]

MAGNIFICENT!!!

[FllashLight]

Wow, great job.

[Newmusicstyle3D]

Wow!! It's great song!!

I Think is the greatest song in the Whole time...!

...

4:20... Lol ;-) A drumer's mistake! .. 4:20

[kailkay]

Maybe he just doesn't know how the song goes. :P

[Otacon144]

@kailkay: Nah, I think he just got a little excited and jumped the gun. :)

[Giuliano66695]

@Newmusicstyle3D yeah, you are right the drummer made a mistake

[lagrl94]

sang this for choir its a fun piece x]

[Whogopenguin]

gr8m8

[TheSupersonicLiam]

[abott26]

Bravo Bravo!!

[flowerwht]

[mpaul121]

[frauleinsienna95]

I liked 2:08-2:51

[Karoluzia]

[pinheiromfa]

perfeito!

[VFDbranch13]

amazing

[sophDWster79]

wonderfull.

were the sextuplets off a little?

[Im0an0asshole]

the last group yeah

[kehwa]

This version is better than LSO's.

[atsumu]

I remember I played an arragement of this a few years ago in the Youth's orchestra from Peru, but this version is way better than ours xD I loved it when I played, though ^^

[Aroselia]

AWESOME!

we played this in an honors orchestra...it's freaking fun! but really hard to learn...and we weren't together...but it was still fun :)

Philharmonic sounds awesome!!!

[macethe20vtace]

Awesome, is it me or does the drums or some sort come in too early by mistake at 4:20?

[Aroselia]

yeah it kind of sounds like they did come in early...I didn't notice that at first but i went back to listen. :P

~Aroselia~

[XOPAUXO]

Bravissimo!!!

A Masterpiece of Music!!!
