Chabrier - España; Riccardo Muti, Philadelphia Orchestra

[violin1231jav]

omg, the 2vs3 rhythm was confuzling in orchestra!

[kerepus]

As a timpanist 3:15 - 3:23 is a pain !

[lightfield99]

If you find this polyrhythm challenging, you have never played anything by Frank Zappa.

[kt78667]

theres a reason why there are only two dislikes for this piece :)

[LuigiFlute]

Love the Bassoon solo!!!!!! 1:23 :D

[rbs600]

I play the muted trumpet entry in my orchestra and it's just amazing to sit back and listen to the rest of the orchestra play such a jolly piece.

[remolvo]

bravo!!

[TheRobertTaggart]

Espana - like a red rag to bullies !

[javabird123]

were playing this in my orchestra...=/ is so challenging lol

[niciijones16]

@javabird123 no its not

[javabird123]

@niciijones16 at the 2 against three rhythm it was challenging

[tswNickAlreadyTaken]

...and freaking hard.

[niciijones16]

@tswNickAlreadyTaken its really not

[tswNickAlreadyTaken]

Ah how I love this recording. Must have listened to it at least 50 times already, and I think I'm well in for another 50.. ;)

And playing it is just delightful.

[MultiAntons]

This one is tough one :P

[carmelohl]

viva ese brio español!!

[mrboppman1]

I love it at 4:11 when all the cellos and basses are playing low register...rare !

[mrboppman1]

perry como made a corny song out of this called" hot diggity dog ziggity boom" !!

[rebrodza]

... some crazy emails i sent previously: do these numbers make sense to anyone? "I was listening to Rosanne tlking upstairs but there are a few tweets out there 12 Let’s dance 1231212344" "The clusters / birds were moving about. When there was 5, there was 1 alone, higher up in the tree The rest were lower on the ground. I think 2 were on the ground Then 3 – but this is hazy to me Also two flew off and chased away the raven." i know. its wacky. humourous even?

[suuus1995]

ahh our amateur youth orchestra is no way near this good but the piece is brilliant!!

[maxter99]

good and execellent work, really feels with touches from spain, this master piece makes me remember the winter of 95 and 96, my last year of elementary school

[chicoco308]

muti dose it again.best interpretation yet.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

It just occurred to me that if I wanted to be a conductor I'd have to let my hair grow out so I could shake my head around like Muti and make my hair appear disheveled by the finale. LOL

[JmanRomania]

4:15 strings= : )

[DGatsby]

Wonderful!

[anwoth1]

Excellent ! Lors des premières répétitions de son œuvre, Chabrier criait à l'orchestre "Il faut que ça saute ! Il faut que ça saute ! Il faut, non de Dieu... que ça pète !" Je pense qu'il approuverait cette interprétation.

[TheNovaDream]

Not easy to find a version that is pleasing all the way through, and I must say I'm impressed with this one.

[borskyviolin]

That 2 against 3 rhythm in this piece blew my mind when I played it in orchestra. It's been a favorite ever since. And this is totally the best version on youtube. :D :D :D

[jpstenino]

borskyviolin thank you for pointing out the 2 against 3.
