[MaGmAsPideR]

lol this is nice

[iamevildoing]

I dunno why but the middle violinist to me always looks like he doesn't know what his doing haha e.g 1:58

[Midlandscunt]

I this this has become my favorites

[vacuumlover1]

IDGUESS MAN AND JOO!!

[rockinpoo]

this sounds more bad than my fart noises....

[C0urante]

The thing that drives me crazy isn't the slow tempo, it's the melody of the strings and the triplets of the piano "fighting" each other...

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

Unisono :D. I love unisono - parts in this type of music.

[aligirl100]

I have heard this song played many different times, and it seems to me as if this piece was a bit faster than I usually hear it

[Fennec804]

@dawg00000 Why can you not consider you're wrong? I understand certain minors have a low mental capacity; such as yourself, but truly, why?

Everyone has unique musical tastes (I, myself, a wide selection) and, I struggle to comprehend as to why you cannot accept the differences within society soon.

Truly, I hope you find a job soon so you may be able too emerge from your parents basement.

Sincerly, Ratboy804.

[mpleleaf54]

as i remember in school (becuase i actually did go to school) many composers were from the 20th and 21st century. they were inspired by mozart and chopin and strauss and many others. but, I've never heard of hip-hop in africa, asia, europe, all is classical. some modern music has string insturments like "Secrets" by One Republic has a beautiful cello piece in the very beginning. there were many african american composers. Joplin wrote Maple Leaf Rag. So why bother commenting on "terrible music?"

[dawg00000]

@mpleleaf54, I comment on these channels dominated by privileged boring straight white christian males because I must afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted (Communities of Color).

[mpleleaf54]

ah, the world of music. in my opinion, classical music is above all. no lyrics. it makes you visualize. and its the oldest. been here for centuries. i especially love the man in the white hair. i love the cello and how he plays it. sort of like he's melting in the music. :) the pianists have my favorite part as well. better watch out hip-hop and country, classical is entering the 21st century. :)

P.S. the art of classical music shall live forever in the world and in our souls. :)

[dawg00000]

@mpleleaf54, euro classical entering the 21st century? It was left behind decades ago. Hip-hop has transcended it years ago virtually universally in youth culture with the exception of some white folk holding on to the last vestiges of their moribund decadent culture and Asians brainwashed by these white folk.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 hip hop is a fad, and while i don't like how mpleleaf54 uses age as an argument, I'm certain that it will outlive hip hop. i mean, hip hop was a ton more popular just five years ago.

and how can you say it 'transcends'? music is completely based on opinion, but if we go into the technical aspects of it, classic has a ton more depth than any mainstream hip hop.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Hip-hop has a subtlety, depth, and profundity that euro classical has never even approached.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 I'm talking about a technical perspective, what you get out of hip hop is totally irrelevant and subjective. 

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, euro classical artisans are like excellent typists who can type hundreds of words a minute perfectly. euro classical artisans can play strings of notes perfectly. Like good typists they have technical prowess but no soul.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 okay then, that's how you feel, but it's completely subjective, and stating opinions as facts portrays low intellectual prowess, I'm not implying you are stupid, but you really shouldn't do so.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, euro classical listeners aren't stupid. They're just deluded. You cannot escape history.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 What the fuck are you talking about? i wasn't calling any kind of listeners stupid, i was saying the structure of your arguments were unintelligent.

and how are they deluded? that's damn silly, people just listen to what they like listening to.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, euro classical listeners don't realize that this euro classical music is burdened with imperialism and colonialism. It's like appreciating one of Hitler's paintings.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 why exactly is the background important?

does that mean listening to hip hop is the same as supporting gang wars? your arguments are flawed and invalid, if you could enjoy one of hitlers paintings, then why not? are you seriously trying to tell me people should listen to music based on it's history? if i liked one of hitlers paintings, that wouldn't make me a supporter of fascism, i would just enjoy a painting that just happened to be drawn by hitler.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, context is important. That's why Jews in Israel do not want their orchestras playing any wagner.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 context doesn't mean jack shit, and The jews viewpoint is absolutely stupid then. they probably haven't outlawed it, have they, though?

if the origin of musical pieces is what decides your music library, you have not understood the point of music, and for that, i pity you.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Let me change my wording: context is everything. The unofficial ban on Wagner's music in Israel still stands.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 well you don't understand what music is about then.

the israelites or whatever they are called are more than a little wrong in this taboo, and discussing music with one who doesn't understand what music is about is completely pointless.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Are you saying that all the Jews in Israel don't understand what music is about due to the unofficial ban on wagner's music?

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 it's more complicated than that. i say that if that's your standard of choosing what to listen to, then no, you don't know shit about music, you listen to music because it sounds good, not because of the time period or whatnot.

the jews are wrong in this unofficial ban, but i don't think they judge all music this way, so they are not necessarily wrong.

you are though, you are pretty damn wrong.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Sure Israeli Jews judge music that way. If a composition by Goebbels or Himmler were to be discovered, and were (according to euro classical lovers) good music, you wouldn't hear those pieces in Israel.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 no, but that doesn't change the fact that they are simply wrong in feeling so.

and you can't compare wagner and himmler. wagner was racist but he didn't go around killing jews.

HP. lovecraft was also fairly racist, completely natural for his time, but it doesn't change the fact that his books are held in very high regards.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero , So if the artist is bad enough in her or his (Himmler) life then a person IS justified in judging the art by the artist's life, according to you. You just contradicted yourself.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 no, no i didn't, i said the two people were incomparable, i didn't say that disliking himmlers art because of himmler was justified.

you are just making false accusations.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, In that case I'm not comparing wagner and himmler, as you said; I'm comparing their (supposed) art. Both would be banned by Jews in Israel based on the artists' respective lives.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 okay, and I'm saying that's not an argument, whether the jews does so doesn't change that this way of looking at it is wrong.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Of course it's an argument. You mean it's not a good argument.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 well, no, i mean it's not an argument, there's no reason why this should support your case at all.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, No. Of course it's an argument--what you mean to say is that it's just not a good argument.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 you cannot call it an argument if it doesn't appeal to your point of view.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, No, it's a wrong argument that doesn't appeal to your point of view. It's still an argument. So all arguments with which you disagree suddenly become nonarguments simply because you disagree with them? No. They're simply wrong to you, which is fine. But to call them nonarguments is silly. Let's face it--you're wrong. Fess up.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 we could keep going, i could explain my position, and why you are wrong till doomsday. i tire of this discussion. i honestly think that your case is the silliest i have ever encountered personally, only trumphed in fiction.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, My truthiness is stranger than your fiction.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 nah, but really you are a troll right? i mean, you go do this on a ton of classical videos, and I'm sure noone who seriously felt this way would go through all these classic music vids and complain about it. no need to be shy man.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, I'm trying to convince the snobs who listen to euro classical to switch to hip-hopera so they can start to finally keep it real instead of faux.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 I just listen to what sounds good man, i happen to not like hip-hop (most of it anyways). i doubt there are many snobs here, i mean, myself, I'm not isolated to only listening to classical, i like metal, i like rock, i like electronic, i like a select few pop and hip hop artists. i like some folk and local music. I have a pretty unbiased music taste, but you my good sir, you're close minded.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Your eclectic tastes reflect a certain musical immaturity. I hope you continue like billions around the world to listen to hip-hop--it will grow on you and then your tastes can truly mature.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 you know, i actually started out with rap and hip hop.

it has certainly not grown on me. a wide taste is not a sign of immature musical taste, quite contrary, it's like having a wide taste in food, it isn't culinary maturity to only eat pork.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, But after sampling a number of different types of music surely you recognize the monumental profundity of hip-hop by now, I hope.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 theres profoundity in every genre of music.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, The profundity of this music is on the same level as one of Muhammad's (SAAW) enormous farts in the face of Allah.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 cool opinions brother, thanks for using indefinable subjective terms in a civilised objective discussion.

[dawg00000]

@lusteraliaszero, Thank you. You're welcome.

[lusteraliaszero]

@dawg00000 I was being sarcastic.

[bassforfun94]

@dawg00000 Please take your hip-hop gospel somewhere else. Some people don't like hip-hop or rap. Get over it. I don't see rap classes in every major school in the country, yet every school that's large enough in the country has an orchestra or a concert band. Rap is not the superior music, otherwise there would be rap theory instead of classical music theory. Troll, be gone.

[LazyBastard69]

@bassforfun94 talking about superior and inferior in terms of music is like talking about how one race is superior to another. almost a little bit fascistic, isn't it? It's fucking music!! My prediction is, that there WILL be rap classes, just as there are jazz classes. It took a while to establish, but jazz has become just as huge as classical music and rap, at the time, is huger than both of them combined. It took jazz like 70 years, it'll take hip-hop a smaller amount of time.

[CaioLugon]

@LazyBastard69 without trying to be offensive, i must say that rap is not music, the term "RAP" stands for Rhyme and Poetry, its a different kind of art than music, rap doesn't really care about melodies and harmony, it focuses on the text, so it's not really music :P

[LazyBastard69]

@CaioLugon Isn't everything music?

[CaioLugon]

@LazyBastard69 not really

[LazyBastard69]

@CaioLugon So i guess you're not a musician, are you?

[CaioLugon]

@LazyBastard69 I am

[LazyBastard69]

@CaioLugon No Imagination??

[IPawnt]

2:58 LOL he looks bored

[kkjelt]

@IPawnt No. He looks, and I can assure you he is, very concentrated and focused and very aware of his colleauges playing.

[gogolusa]

LMAO. So it is Can-Can from Offenbach. I can't believe I've missed that joke all these years.

[dawg00000]

Performances like this one is the height of pretension led by that Bozo the brillo-headed clown on cello.

[tegrenath]

@dawg00000 right, because these performances are about hair, not music.

[dawg00000]

@tegrenath, Not hair but soul. The bozo-haired clown on cello has no soul. I mentioned brillohead by his hair to distinguish him from the other self-styled musicians, rather than merely repeating "cellist."

[underlinedbluetext]

@dawg00000 .... what is your deal? ---- my main complaint is for the dimwit who decided to take a picture with the click sound @ 1:38

[dawg00000]

@underlinedbluetext, the deal? euro classical fans are the most pretentious of all. They call it "classical" as if no other cultures around the world make music. Also, they are the most condescending. beethoven is just going from tonic to subdominant to dominant with some slight variations in a sloppy manner. Hip -hop is infinitely more varied. Remember, I am here to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted (Communities of Color).

[underlinedbluetext]

@dawg00000 fair enough.

[TheMikester307]

I love this! The verses fit it perfectly!

[jimmayl1]

Is that Joo on the piano?

[CoolBlokeAndABit]

I would bloody love to see tortoises doing the can-can

[smiliness]

@CoolBlokeAndABit I believe that a touroise can cancan

[netedco]

I did hear something like can-can. is this piece is somehow related to can-can?

[VenndorBrine]

@netedco What we call the cancan is the Galop Infernal from the Opera "Opheus et Eurydice" by Jacques Offenbach. This is Saint-Saëns idea of a musical joke, slowing it down.

[netedco]

lucky for the writer of the carnival of the animals, there were no copy rights on

the can can.....^^

[remnock]

thank you for recognizing the origin of the can-can

[OMGawkwardTURTLE]

@netedco

read the video description

[StreetFightBroadcast]

Orphesus Underworld Overature*

[hylkerutube]

Between the Cock & Hens and the Tortoises, I missed the part of the Wild Asses. What a shame to miss just that one part in this beautiful series... Or am I wrong? Hope so...

[salzeka]

lol

[catluva878]

I saw a live version of this last night and the orchestra was playing so slow you couldnt tell that they were playing the can-can

[SadiiQlover]

it's the can-can XD

[mamalavanski]

I, like poxolo30 a year ago, am also wondering where is the Wild Asses or (Hemoines) movement , played (very fast) by the two pianists. It seems to have been removed but I would LOVE to see it!

[mynameisoscar]

You can hear a bit of the can can because its influenced by Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld." Kinda makes sense because the piece is relatively slow with a lack of vibrato, like a tortoise, and the "can can" part is the tortoise dancing...thus returns back to the English guy's intro

[musicdevotee4life]

I LOVE THAT SONG!

[chrisegner]

"the English guy"?! that's roger moore sir, dont you know James Bond when you see him? ;)

[mynameisoscar]

Yeah, i was kinda making fun. But yeah, Roger Moore was the first i recognized hehe.

[bb2468101214]

dis a slow verison of can can

[fluffyslippers1blah1]

if i had to right a piece of music called the tortoise then i could do it a lot better than this and thats saying something!!! i mean it is so boring and tortoises arn't boring ive got one and they're so funny!!!!

[assalamoualaikum]

Its a tortoise cancan! How much more funny do you want?!

[jootakahuy]

hahahaha

[passlion]

@assalamoualaikum everyone looked so bitter...

[Rafalmeidaa]

@assalamoualaikum i have to confess that i only noted in the second time i heard it. haha, even though i looked in the description.

now it's much cooler. :D

[KrnBlackWannabe]

The lack of vibrato adds to the lull. This is great.

[meaning1]

I have enjoyed all of the Carnival of the Animals pieces so far; but sadly this piece's name really does it justice - slow and dull.

[prplecherry]

the chello player with the gray hair looks like albert einsteine ,,,,,,no offence...

[meaning1]

Why would the Einstein comparison be seen as derogatory? lol.

[MusicalSpoon]

He reminds me more of Cello Zappa.

[Dedic8edCartoonLuvr]

Did you know that this piece is actually the Can Can slow

[satanismsucks666]

For the sake of history, the can-can is actually this piece fast.

[SchenkelMcDoo]

Nosir, the Can-Can is taken from Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld", as is this piece.

[watareulookingat123]

i can't hear it, the can can...

[anabass]

: ) ) )

[SunGreen777]

I lol'd. Around half a million times.

[whenultra]

Might be him, Maisky I think it is, though Maisky may have been in Vienna when this was recorded, I think this might have been recorded in Switzerland, don't quote me, long time ago, Roger Moore does a nice oration, and the playing is fine throughout. Nice.

[ouaquede]

Nice!

The cellist with grey hair look like late Shivkumar Sharma!

[caprimulgo]

troppo enfatizzato, uno scempio!! questa è travisazione non interpretazione!!

[gathy222]

i love turtles, my fav of em all, after elephants

[Mooshique]

Um... Ok, well this video is about tortoises, not turtles.

[Harle4]

same thing?

[DrStrangefate]

is that roger moore?

[Harle4]

Yep, that is Sir Roger Moore :)

[weatheritrains]

im a tortoises!!!

[liquidmetal1]

Im well aware of the intented sloth inducing feeling, but im just used to hearing a faster, more succinct interpretation that's all. Wasn't trying to be anatagonistic. peace

[liquidmetal1]

too slow

[Mark91Gilenson]

thats the point

[TexasPhoneMan]

I'll bet Offenbach never thought his can-can from "Orpheus in the Underworld" would be played THIS slowly........ ROFL

[azurefirem]

Lol.

Probably not... :P

[Trinkletty]

I remember a considerable state of confusion when our orchestra played this for the first time as some people refused to believe this was possibly intended to be played that slow, lol

[SC2larry]

who is the guy who plays the cello,I have seen him a lot of times on youtube...

[zeelvina]

mischa maisky

[dasom94]

woah i like this piece its really a turtle...

[DiVeronica]

what do you mean by your elipses? sarcasm? if so I give you a thumbs down sir

[poxolo30]

Where is "wild asses" performance?

[BuoiVideos]

if its the donkeys ur looking for then they are called "people with long ears"

[AHN5D]

right

[poxolo30]

No, it´s the 3rd movement fromm this work, played by two pianists.
