Holst - Jupiter

[08dArRyL08]

that was nice...

[MisterMoronator]

Playin this in my Orchestra.. We're not that good lmaoo

[SuperPipapo]

Yes, I downloaded the mp3 of this piece. I think I can't live without it.

[eboooo]

i clapped at my computer 

[2384539]

I studied this piece inside and out. what an amazing use of the tritone interval. both up and down. "masterpiece"

[stevewaugh2]

Fabulous !

[zrobbidos]

your audio is not aligned with the video

[BreakBeatDrums]

@zrobbidos False.

[MrZipapezooda]

proof asians can do ANYTHING

[wilsonkao17]

this is as real as it gets. after listening to all this electronic music came back to this...can't believe how fake you can make music now

[Redflowers9]

I know I'm stupid but I wouldn't mind going blind after this.

[landovers]

I know nothing about conducting, so I can't comment on his technique, but you have to admire the conductor's passion! That just amazing!

[sola04]

Love love LOVE this...love the piece, watching the conductor, and especially love around 3:09 when they get into the slow theme. beautiful!

[MrTuahkayangan]

one of the best i ever heard. i can feel it ..

[emilyo222]

i live live in the town where Holst grew up and i can see why he got the inspiration to write this music

[TheHeretor]

fantastic!!!

[logodo]

I've heard about a dozen or so renditions of Jupiter from different symphonies/conductors over the years, and I have to say this one is my favorite. I've never heard the middle part of this movement played with so much expression. I'll give almost all the credit to the conductor, Eiji Oue. This is his piece.

[TheKillaRappa]

@chinesefoodfun you ugly

[gwcstudio]

Happy conductor!!!! Awesome!

[408knw]

Fabulous!

[doyouwantfries20]

Hes so intence. But omg. This is the most beautiful i have heard it

[ebconnolly90]

conductor is LOVING IT! <3 xxx



[grosin]

WOW! I wish he was MY conductor.

[AlucardSlice]

3:06 Beautiful Sound

[Nobodyknowsme021]

The conductor so adorable ;D

[eRev21]

I Vow To Thee, My Country :)

[piper96ao]

7:22 I died laughing. He's having so much fun :D

[Texguy12345]

and yes, it was played at Princess Di's funeral...just to show the emotional impact of this piece

[Texguy12345]

glorious piece of music....this isnt a "song":...it's a work of art, to be enjoyed in it's entirety....low to high and everything between

[speedyme21]

When the conductor's face lit up... :) 3

[345bomberman]

Eiji Oue is officially awesome.

[loplover]

@ trikespotter - yes this is 'I vow to thee my country' which I'm having played at my Dad's funeral. He was an old soldier who sadly passed away aged 95

[kylestyyle987]

Wow. That is one inspiring conductor. If only all conductors had such enthusiasm.

[Troy8aikman1129]

I love this song it so pretty

[angelofmusic45689]

omg i love this so much

and watching this conductor just makes me soooo happy :)

[dsivertsenneale]

One of the best interpretations... Pace, bite and clarity - fully alive. :)

[folsomjazz]

god frowns apon 79 people...

[jyhwang303]

@folsomjazz

no

now its 80

[doctorturkleton]

damn

that conductor is rocking out

[fridschinello]

A very characterful motion picture direction!

Thanks to the director.

fridi

[iwilltakeyourmoney]

Is the conductor crying? These players all play with such emotion, fabulous.

[SoulMusician360]

Simply Breath-taking.

Beautiful

[RoyalAirForce25]

My Highschool's honors band played this winning 1st place in some UIL thing. We also marched this as our 2011-2012 show called Darkest before the Dawn. Youtube it ;D blows you away.

[EmoAbiTheOnlyOne]

I have never heard a better version of Jupiter. The conductors facial expression completes this performance, plus the amazing dynamics. The most moving bit is obviously 3:07-4:57...... Makes me die every time. And to you 79 Dislikers ~ I hope Jupiter swallows you.

[arcaeyscott]

This piece of music has been brilliantly developed by the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra with Eiji Oue as the conductor Gustav would be proud Brilliant performance indeed

[Wonocva15]

@TrollinOnMyFace

Well most of the conducting work is done before a concert, really. Hard to say if a guy at the performance waving a baton is really "Doing his job" or just a "physically moving around".

I mean, unless you were there the whole time they practiced. Or an incredible conductor yourself I guess.

[MOWGeneral]

3.07-4.54 is just my favorit part.

I can't tell about the feelings I got when hearing that...

[Tetraglot]

@MOWGeneral It's even more fun to play.

[hhollis1]

That's how conducting should be: free and expressive. Not confined to individual beats.

[inkibuky04]

This is so amazing. I feel like they're all happy doing it. Most of the orchestras i watch are full of misery, this one kinda relieving.

[SpartaRisen]

amazing conductor

[splitzman2000]

just watched this again for the umpteenth time. This has still got to be the best version of this anywhere on you tube. Love it

[kategirl71]

i love at 3:05..... its so majestic!!! were competing on this, and were a middle skool nd were jus kicking butt on it!!!:-) 

[bladeofice01]

Yes. The composer gets it. He clearly has a passion for music, and with this composition, connects to what the composer was thinking, what it means personally to himself, and conveys this sum to others so they too can connect - can 'get it'.

[Plusto84]

Spock would not approve of this shit

[kayepanes]

3:06 - 4:55, MY FAVORITE PART. :D

[yourfavorite7801]

played this last year. it was amazing, i miss it :(

[MrDiamonds01]

truely 1 of the greats

[Julikator]

kickass tamborine skills 6:47

[trikespotter]

79 people should be hit in the face by comets. 3:07 to 4:57 is probably the best piece of music I've ever heard, and will ever hear in my life. Goosebumps every time, and the conductor knows it also. You just don't mess with Jupiter, or Holst for that matter.

[ironpooch123]

@trikespotter I would have to agree 100x. I keep repeating the same part from 3:07 - 4:57. It's so calm and tranquil.

[keyfeatures]

@ironpooch123 This bit wells me up every time. Across time and language barriers Holst transmits his emotional core at this point.

[iamnotanumberiamaman]

@trikespotter that part is the musical standard "jerusalem," based on william blake's anti-industrial poem "and did those feet in ancient time"

[Wiman445]

@trikespotter you probably know this but the peak is at 4:32 the best part of the song

[tomview1]

@trikespotter word.

[MrKurbsyde]

@trikespotter Agreed. My favorite part aswell. there is just so much feeling in this song, it's almost too much to handle.

[MisterPenguinMusic]

@trikespotter That's the worst part. I mean, I love the song, but honestly that's the lowest piece of awesome in the whole thing.

[rijax]

@trikespotter i tottaly aggre with you it is some crazy stuff awsome with a trumpet solo

[Nandersar]

Everything I here from this music sends shivers up my spines. A lot of it is also used as backings to famous films. Total genius

[sososoloprano]

excelent... bravo maestro :-)

[torrita01]

BEST EVER.

Also love it when flutes move around and show that much expression.

[iamnotanumberiamaman]

the era of Holst, Tchaikovosky, Bruckner, Elgar etc, produced some of the most modern music i've ever heard. Their music represents modernity before modernity became completely devoid of hope, before we reverted to the hi-tech dark-age in which we now live.

[ASaxonAtHeart]

Wow.

[TheDarkMarkCreations]

Amazing

[mrJinsudbury]

I love that a Japanese guy totally feels it. This piece is global.

[ironpooch123]

@mrJinsudbury No pun intended :)

[punkypenguin321]

@mrJinsudbury no, universal

[mrJinsudbury]

Whats fap? I totally love this. He's brilliant

[lachlanau88]

only this existed about 90 years before the video game you mention..

[dryadd70822]

bravo!

[Sequialtera]

I used to play this on my keyboard but i took an arrow on the knee

[Arvon2x]

we have to play this in orchestra next week. i thought we played it well, then i listened to this. and well, were fucked

[Nazipuma]

3:07 - Pure, saccharine delciousness.

[TheNatedagreat4]

Reminds me of some super smash bros stuff. No offence.

[thomasey2]

Thank you again.

[DongleKumquat]

When you start crying to music, you suddenly give absolutely zero fucks about anything and everything. Especially music that you're directing 130 people to perform. I wouldn't criticize the conductor.

[abfun123]

why is jupiter the most epic piece? Shouldn't it be Earth?

[franklywright]

@abfun123 theres a reason why holst didn't include the earth in the planets-its not part of the whole roman god thing

[1nv151b13b0b]

Nice conducting at 4:00...

[sarku143]

Why do aisans have to be so good at everything?

[CaptJiggles]

@sarku143 Except getting white girls.

[palmerdy1]

Hitherto I have always gone for the Berlin Philarmonic or Vienna ditto preferably with Herbert Von Karajan but this is truly amazing. The Osaka have got all the right notes and emphasis in all the right places. Well done, a brilliant job.

Palmerdy

[kleinp1000]

why is Jackie Chan conducting

[mullinere]

@kleinp1000 man of many talents

[Hyyperness]

Bless his beautiful soul.

[gomtao]

:''')

[mattsicles]

Having had my previous comments removed, for reasons unknown, I will repeat that Simon Rattle and the BSO knock this into a cocked hat. Rattle manages to portray just as much passion and power without mugging hopelessly to the audience like a hyperactive toddler desperate for attention, as Eiji Oue does here. It is completely unnecessary and hugely distracting from what is a majestic piece of music.

[K00lstorybrah]

@mattsicles Until you have stood up there and conducted this masterpiece, you can't criticize the conductor. Just enjoy the piece and not bitch lol.

[mattsicles]

@K00lstorybrah Given that logic, I cannot have an opinion on anything outside my immediate sphere of experience, so I can now only comment on Rugby, Cricket and masturbating..... ;-)

[K00lstorybrah]

@mattsicles lmao but what i meant was relative to the conductor.. just nevermind lol.

[akitaman101]

@mattsicles in that order?...second thought, id rather not know....

[TTheAvidOrange]

3:07-4:56 made this peace...beautiful

[Maryloohoo2]

All my life I wanted to express music like this and have had occasions like this. It makes you feel like you are part of something important and great and pulls you up to a higher level of being. Oue and the OPO are in that zone, yes tears always come to my eyes at 3:57 onward, and esp 3:54, Oues greatest humblist respect to this piece. His passion and fire fuel the orchestra, the sound is simply tremendous.

[KiraMusic4lacorda]

From the start I was touched and started crying through the whole song. I don't know why.

[rioazul23]

I'd like to kneel before the conductor and pray to him.

[cloudgirl150]

One word to describe the conductor: EPIC!

[09ED12]

Some day i hope i can play something as wonderful as this.

[gnomepark]

Ahaha, I love it!

[ibaranatume]

前半のテンポ遅いけど迫力があって

これはこれでいいかも。

[Wonocva15]

@i6a1n3

I agree. Never understood why people complain about how to do art of any kind, especially music.

Music is STILL an art and is up for interpretation, even by conductors. Deal with it.

YOU don't like it; doesn't mean it's wrong.

[TrollinOnMyFace]

@Wonocva15 i agree BUT... this guy here Eiji Oue (conductor) is not really conducting (unify performers, set the tempo, execute clear preparations and beats) but he is rather just acting out a performance as if he's in a play. so in this case, he's not really a "conductor" but rather just a man who is physically expressing his emotions while the orchestra plays

[Informer3X]

@TrollinOnMyFace

He is absolutely a conductor, albeit not in the eyes of the layman. If you are part of a serious, professional orchestra, God help you if you still need a conductor to keep time in any way, shape, or form. At the professional level, removing the conductor should, in theory, have no noticeable effect on the technical ability of the orchestra. As others have stated, the conductor's purpose is in providing an interpretation of the music, which Mr. Oue does well.

[TrollinOnMyFace]

@Informer3X so that being said, he is not required to be there. he is basically some dude just dancing to the music while the musicians play and ignore him

[Informer3X]

@TrollinOnMyFace

A crude interpretation. Musicians rely on him to bring out the interpretation of the music. Each individual section, be it string, brass, percussion, or what have you, as a relatively limited ability to judge their sound in relation to other sections. This is where the conductor comes in. On paper, there can be a plethora of notations, but the conductor is the final say in determining how everything sounds, from the vibrato to the crescendo.

[Informer3X]

@TrollinOnMyFace

Example: this piece, Jupiter, has a number of interpretations, usually named after the conductors. Levine's has a quicker tempo, with more lively dynamics. Rattle's is more mellow, lacking the brass highs other conductors prefer. Between these "extremes", so to speak, are Karajan, Mackerras, and Previn, to note just a few of the sampling of excellent interpretations. A smart musician always keeps an eye on the conductor.

[arcaeyscott]

This is my favorite planet theme song Holst done a smashing job a this piece :D

[svett89]

@TheSvendle Hard? I thought it was easy.

[ILovePeanutButer7181]

@TheSvendle what the hell...youre so weird man holy crap...

how could you find it hard?

[Ilovemycamper]

@ILovePeanutButer7181 because he was fapping!, that's why it was hard! Have you ever tried fapping whilst it's not hard!?

[ILovePeanutButer7181]

@Ilovemycamper ...surprisingly its pretty easy

[somerdaytrumpet]

The conductors face makes life complete

[aqflarehawk]

@somerdaytrumpet He's probably quite nervous, you can't blame him. He's also just expressing feeling, all good conductors do this. Did you see Yo-Yo Ma's face when he played The Swan Solo (carnival of the animals)? That was even funnier. =D

[sweetxkhaos]

@somerdaytrumpet

That's how you conduct a band. I love it when a conductor shows his emotions.

[illegalusername]

Can't blame the conductor. I had the exact same reaction

[MaverickWG]

I want to cry from 3:08 to 4:08

[sgtdrakealexander1]

The conductors face almost made me crap myself at 3:26 XD

[BowlofIndoMee]

I wonder the orchestra will resist the urge to laugh looking at the conductor

[TheMusicdork94]

If you aren't moved at 3:08, and still not by 4:08, you have no soul.

[silbermark]

@TheMusicdork94 Moved? Moved, you say??? I am so profoundly moved I am brought to tears! My heart and soul rejoices and glories to the sublime degree!

[TheMusicdork94]

@silbermark Amen, brother. Amen.

[Blyskooor]

4:20

My bad.

[Blyskooor]

4:00

Skyrim, is that u?

[TacPremier]

@ShevanelSaeglopur You definitely understand nothing in orchestra conducting...and what a conductor should be and should do...

[aicragsaerdna]

the conductor's face is the best part

[1977Harrier]

a timeless piece and a wonderful performance let down by a horrible quality video.

[Purplephish20]

Okay let me just say this... Im 18... And I've fallen completely in love with this... it completely baffles me how one small... Insignificant f**king primate on an equally insignificant rock floating in the infinite regions of space, can sit down and COMPOSE something as incalculable as this! Drawing inspiration from the sky above him, obviously with very limited knowledge of the facts, distances, and what's out there in space... sensational...

[Rizashi]

@Purplephish20

That comment of yours is easily one of the best on this entire site. Well put!

[arbiter179]

Extreme conducting

LOLOL

[iamolive98]

i love the conductorlol

[t1248]

This great orchestra does full justice to this magnificent piece of music.

Simply mind blowing !

[Convisis]

the middle section is just unbelievable

[LZoro]

Technically perfect, music ..... no its to stale ..... This piece has much more to offer..... It's (sorry to say that) almost to perfect.... there's no heart in the music....

[mrIlikepie8888]

1:24 isnt that the guy who played in totoro with joe hisashi?

[ShevanelSaeglopur]

Great piece, atrociously self-absorbed conductor.

[vairovane]

An amazing orchestra, playing an amazing symphony, with amazing acoustics, by Grand Master Mozart. No?

[dohu1159]

@vairovane nope, Holst

[vairovane]

@dohu1159

Thank you! =)

[CaptainOvious123]

@vairovane No.

[vairovane]

@CaptainOvious123

Thank you. =)

[ri053]

77 People have no brans!

[i6a1n3]

Just stop all the crap about the tempo being wrong at 5:12 or who has Down's syndrome! Just listen to this amazing piece of music. What a wondrous work this is! 13.5 billion years since the big bang and a strange little primate on a third-rate little world orbiting a small star in an obscure little corner of an average galaxy created this work of brilliance! And other little primates forgot their petty jealousies and grievances and worked together to perform this for YOU. Just enjoy it.

[188043]

If you like this then i suggest 1812 Overture, the Moldau, the Carnival of the Animals suite, the Four Seasons suite, and the Messiah to name a few....all pieces I played in orchestra in high school

[franklywright]

@188043 those pieces have nothing to do with the planets. What the fuck. Just go away. Your just naming random classical pieces

[188043]

@franklywright Ok listen to Mars, Saturn, Venus....now that would be stupid. People know the names of the planets dumbass. I'm naming pieces that I like that are some better known pieces not in the Planets Suite. And if you read the whole comment you'd notice that they aren't random, they are pieces I played in high school

[minicolster]

75 people are justi...no i shall not even taint this vid with that name.

[jewnoob12]

75 People are Mongolians

[noreery]

@jewnoob12 you sir, are ignorant.

[jewnoob12]

@noreery Are you a Mongolian?

[noreery]

@jewnoob12 does it matter if i am?

[jewnoob12]

@noreery Hailll Yeah MoFo

[noreery]

@jewnoob12 ok.

[1MtnBoy]

Absolutely Gorgeous ! thanks so much for posting this !!
