The Best Symphonies: Part 1

[BigVic405g]

This is so vulgar, you take snippets of one symphony and then mix it with snippets of another. A huge portion of what a symphony is to understand the process that occurs with in. Whether it be Baroque, Classical, Romantic, or Modern. This is just vulgar, music for the age where people have short attention spans.

[andersoncouncilpf]

Thank you for correctly having Leopold Mozart's picture in accompaniment to the first piece, the banal "Toy" symphony. Many people seem to think F.J. wrote it.

[MAH1500]

it's a best of Haydn I think

[largolegato]

Where's Mozart's 25 and 40?

[RICKYRASPER]

Classical music is an never ending quest. Every so often you find a gem of a tune and you think to yourself " it cant get any better than this " then, out of the blue you find " it does get better than this " another tune another composer another work of art to rock your heart. The sad thing is, you'll never live long enough to hear them all!

[ds4s]

I never would of thought one day i would like this music, i also like rap dubstep but symphonies are quickly becoming my favorite, im 19 wish i could find stoners who also like this art lol

[MolokoPlus1980]

@DivisionPlusCo I love Beethoven's 7th! Especially the second movement. :D

[fanofhaydn]

I think its hard to pick out the best Haydn symphonies because they're all so good, and they're all much better than anything L. Mozart wrote. People know only about the Paris and London symphonies but once you hit the Nos. 30s and 40s the quality is always outstanding, each is a masterpiece.

[andersoncouncilpf]

@fanofhaydn

I prefer Haydn's symphonies by quite a bit too. As sets of symphonies, I think the overall quality of F.J.'s is higher than W.A.'s

[vipergurn]

i agree richardz117

[richardz117]

Haydns 38th??? wtf are you on crack? i rather his sinfonia concertante.

[OriginalBasaliskos]

I think I might be the only person on earth who doesn't care for Haydn.

[jiggawhat67]

@OriginalBasaliskos Nope, don't like him either. Boring, in my opinion. I'm also hot and cold on Mozart; sometimes he does some fantastic things, sometimes he tries to out-do Haydn for snooziest pieces. Guess it's the era they wrote in.

[in1pieces]

Wow I know of lame people who compare between Best rappers like Eminem and tupac, Didn't expect to see such a scence here. How pathetic to compare their beauty, each have a different beauty, respect them. Like religion.

[rene1OOO3]

god I love Haydn's 59th :)

[masterclassicalmusic]

@rene1OOO3

what is the movement of haydn's 59th symphony?

[karajanful]

How can you permit to use these strong words (deadly boring, rubbish) to describe someone that had done great contributes to the history of music. L. B. is, according to most of critics, one of the best cond. of the '900, and that was only an ex. (the focus was Haydn, not the cond.). But you seem to be only interested in polemical, steril and aggressive dialogues. Bringing up, baby!

[laddo79]

sense of hearing entiitles me LB? what critics?

i dont care what ppl say i know what my ears can hear...LB was a showman not a good conductor...

dont patronize me...if calling me a baby or telling me to grow up is the only thing you can do I shall ignore you...prove LB is good?

but well still some ppl believe that Marriah Carrey has a great voice even if its fake...let them think that way no need to shhow them yma Sumac would not appreciate her anyway - this is just example...

[karajanful]

Watch this delicious performance (obviously looking for in youtube):

Leonard Bernstein conducting Haydn's Symphony n.88

[laddo79]

You got brilliiant von Karajan in yr nick and You recoommend that twat Bernstein? makes no sense!! Aint gonna waiste my time for Bernstein as he is rubbish conductor!

I can agree only that classical music is Great omg Mozart is great so is Klause Schhultze!

and i will repeat Haydn is great as a teacher just like Leopold Mozart well he was prob the greatest but hiis music lacks soul!

nothing comppared with Bethoven or Mozart

[karajanful]

For laddo79. First you have to listen to all the 'London Symphonies' (The Allegro or Finale/Presto of the 'Militar', 'Surprise' or 'Drum Roll') by F.J. Haydn, not those of this video, then you can evaluate properly this great composer.

[laddo79]

omg u heard bout freedom? this is my right to exppress my opinion we do not live in 3rd Reich!

and mmaybe i listened to those smphs?

u ignorant maybe you should have asked me first if i had listened? where is written i havent?

[karajanful]

@laddo79 Ehi, be quiet, i did not intend to offend you... My intention was only to try to make you consider how much beautiful are the last symphonies by Haydn, and possibly i wanted to change your opinion. In my opinion, it's very difficult to consider boring those pieces of music. Peace & Love (P.S. If we appreciate classic music, me & you, we aren't ignorant by definition... Don't you agree?)

[sinancans]

ty dude

[hulseyy]

thankyou for making these

[subterranean47]

Hello friends

I would greatly appreciate it if you all would list all the wonderful apocalyptic dark insane classical music you know

thank you all

[xmurderinparis]

i second that!! tell me if you find any good ones..cause i'm researching so intently with mediocore results!!

[subterranean47]

will do

[yaoyuan12]

'wozzeck' or 'lulu' from berg :) its one of my all time favs haha.

[gradwhan]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?????? If you are not interested in classical music than plz don't make such an offensive comment. Haydn probably more important than Beethoven concerning music history. Haydn "invented" the symphony, the sonata and the string quartet. Just listen to his Farewell Symphony or to his "il distratto". Of course there are some similarities, but he wrote 107 symphonies and you can't tell me that every symphony is the same.

[laddo79]

I love classical music!

it's just haydn happens to be boring.....

well yr right he invented symthony...so what?

I dare to sayy thhat Smetana is better!

[diabolicdarkeyes]

Actually ur stupidity has no end in sight no one in classical music was so original and imaginative as haydn was, even mozart's symphonies sometimes lack some imagination but haydn OMG HE WAS JUST SUBERB :P

[laddo79]

im not amused

Mozart way better thhan all the rest all together wake up or sleep..as haydn is deadly boring.....and yes haydn was Mozart is forever

[diabolicdarkeyes]

thats just UR BORING OPINION if u dont like it dont waste so much time talking about it

[gradwhan]

I am missing the finale of Haydn's Symphony 88 and 91.

[rsgcurrentevents]

My favorite symphony from part one is Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 104 - London. The finale is great!

[Linque13]

Oh, I didn't know Leopold Mozart (1719 - 1787), the W. A. Mozart's father.

Cheers

[misteranderson0]

Johann Georg Leopold Mozart

[Linque13]

Exactly. Sorry for my mistake. I missed his 2 first names.

Cheers.

[ouinonyes]

u cant blame Beethoven, who was disabled with his hearing from lead poisoning, imagine the gut pain from it and try to write music

[Newtonianator]

you absolutely love haydn's work dont you!lol, well he is brilliant

This is Bob. He's fucking annyoing. So I killed him.

[Wibbziz]

This is bob not existing on youtube any more!

[civitaswriter]

Thank you. Classical music is my newfound attachment... ...from metal to techno to classic rock to mantras to trance to classical... It seems that music has in many ways regressed. how sad. Long live art. Long live love. Namaste.

[VonRichter]

FTW!

[ultimage7]

@civitaswriter

OMFG...we have such a similar taste in music <3

[FloresRain]

@civitaswriter dam same goes here..... from the hardest metal to hip hop to techno to trance to hard rock to many others to finally orchestra and classical:)

[Sinfoniette]

It was quite short, you know.

[potatoesaugratin]

he wrote 104 symphonies, a lot of quartets ,a lot of piano shit

[bbtoob]

104 numbered symphonies, 2 unnumbered ones, 'a' and 'b'; 68 string quartets; 57 piano sonatas. his 'complete' music is on a new set of 150 cds released quite recently. by comparison, Beethovens complete set is approximately 85 cds, and W.A. Mozart's is 190 cds.

[potatoesaugratin]

Of course, the number of cd's a composer's complete recorded works take up isn't a very accurate way to measure the actual amount of music written by a composer

[bbtoob]

It should show how much still exists, but lost works and works destroyed by composers that were never published aren't included (did I miss something?). I've read that Brahms, for example, destroyed approximately 12 string quartets in the course of leaving us with his three that still exist. You make a good point that complete must be qualified. I would say that 'complete sets' are relatively accurate, overall, as long as all currently available material is included.

[bbtoob]

...further to that, I think it's safe to say that Mozart wrote more than F.J. Haydn, who wrote more than Beethoven, etc, given the significant disparity in the volume of each of their music libraries.

[EarthaticFan]

Fantastic pieces!

[witmerjj]

cool, chronological by composer birthdate and within the respective composers life. how the hell did haydn write so many symphonies? i know he had deadlines earlier in his life but he still produced over 25 as an independant musician in his later life. also, i'm familiar with the clock being in the key of g. strange.

lol, i basically know the clock all the way through and that one part of the surprise.

p.s

they didn't play the second or first movement of the clock, that was annoying!

[oatboy]

the toy symphony is one of the best symphonies? really?

[danielfragnet]

+1 great job

[CsOH23]

Beethoven is THE BEST!!!

[H1sInfernalMajesty]

lalalalaalaaaa I love it....

[Petraworld]

Thank you for all your investment of yourself into this noble act

[o0o0o0AH0o0o0o]

'Can't wait for the other parts. =)

[moltoallegro19]

Pretty good vid. Am looking forward to part 2.
