    I represent the internet, and we are sorry to inform you that you must STFU, GTFO and take your fail elsewhere.

  • I think Grieg was a Christian

  • God should listen to this...

  • Despite your last comment, there is tons of scientific evidence for a literal God. Such as information theory and fossil record.

  • literal goosebumps @ dis

  • Is this what Hannibal Lecter listens to? I'm on board.

  • Breathtaking...

  • How the HELL did a flame war start? Clearly people on the internet are loonies who look everywhere for a chance to start a giant argument. Flame wars cannot be won, people just get bored and frustrated, that's all that it comes to.

  • Some chimps will cry foul about something that happened 50 or 60 years ago, while playing the role of apologist for crimes that are happening in the present, almost 24/7 in the Umma. LOLOLOLOLOL

  • the beginning remids me of the japanese sakura sakura traditional...

  • @Voodo0Puppet quien quiera que seas, eres INCREÍBLE! :')

  • very beautiful music!

  • My god people, Stop talking about religion and listen to the beautiful music, bickering on youtube is quite pointless.....

  • One might ask, in the case of Christianity, whether evidence is for or against religious belief. Witnesses testified of a man named Jesus. Many of his disciples died teaching his morality, and proclaiming the truth of his resurrection. Multiple ancient contemporaries document his mission on earth. Mass delusion is an unlikely explanation for the primary sources that record Jesus' life and ministry. And men would not live and die for so inconvenient a lie.

  • Religion is not like a belief in an imaginary friend. It is a belief in an ideal morality, and usually in a source for this moral code. An intuitive belief in right and wrong is common to most people. The insane believe in isolated ideas. Religious people believe in various explanations for an empirical sense (the conscience), and teach how man ought to act in accordance with this sense. Religion is not antiquated, it is just out of style in hedonistic cultures that feel inconvenienced by it.

  • Love the music but some touch the depths of my heart, and this is one. Beautiful video, congrats!!! Thanks for sharing this special moment.

  • Duke Ellington recorded a wonderful rendition of this song.

  • @Nick10152 did not know this. i'll look for it. familiar with his Nutcracker Suite but not his foray into Grieg. merci

  • thumbs up if you know this song from civilization 5

  • This is so beautiful. It sounds like winter. :)

  • Ja, vi elsker dette landet. Norway was a fantastic way to spend my early summer

  • Jeg gråter med dere, mitt elskede Norge. Dette er så forferdelig.

  • I know this from the documentary "Fitna", anyway, gotta love classic songs!

  • If you liked this, you MIGHT enjoy Hybrid - Altitude.

    Paws up if you were brought here by Hybrid :D

  • I loved this song when I played it that is until I saw that Aase in german meant god.

    The death of god? Yeah, don't like it quite so much as now.

  • @jillyzanzibar That's a pretty shite reason not to like a piece of music. I assume you also do book reviews based on the cover?

  • @jillyzanzibar Well, Grieg was Norwegian and Aase is a female name, common in Norway but most would write it as Åse today.

  • @jillyzanzibar Aase (or Ase) was the name of Peer Gynt's mother (Peer Gynt being the main character of the play this piece was wrote for). It has nothing to do with religion.

  • @jillyzanzibar Aase in german means rotten meat, and Aase is a scandinavian girl's name. Since Grieg was Norwegian it was probably the latter of the two options. So don't feel bad about liking the music :)

  • @MrSkovbakke The death of the rotten meat? ROFL!

  • At the funeral of my father was this the first part of the memorial. It was beautiful en emotional.

  • Farvel Liebe Omi in Liebe

  • Geert Wilders is just as bad as Al-Qaeda. Both are extremists. Both incite hatred. Now can I please enjoy this piece without being reminded about that idiot and his film?

  • @zanzalot Hehehe your right !

  • @zanzalot Geert Wilers is no extremist, you are just a naive little shite.

  • @henriktini You're the naive one. Everyone in the world except for ultra right-wing white people think he is an extremist.

  • @zanzalot

    Religion is a virus.

  • @henriktini Okay, here's the deal. I am not a particularly religious person. I respect the philosophical and theological decisions of others, but nobody has the right to blaspheme an entire religion like that.

  • Er... yes we do? It's called Freedom of Speech?

    Why is it people command respect for religion, anyway? Why is it a topic that goes beyond judgement? I can criticize someone's choice of study, their choice of job, their political stance, their choice of friends, but the moment I mention their religion in any light but a positive one, I've suddenly crossed the line? I don't understand why people defend such an outdated idea so ardently.

  • I mean, are we not supposed to criticize faith? If so, then why do the insane get such a bad rap? After all, they TRULY BELIEVE that what they think is true, even though we know it isn't, so why aren't they afforded the same respect that the religious are? Why is it rude to criticize someone for having an imaginary friend that they think is in control of the universe, and whom they take marching orders from? Because the idea behind it is nice?

    "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

  • @Jinxerz010792 It's different to have faith in something than to see ghosts, monsters or hearing voices inside their head telling them to kill people. Most religious people believe in something though they don't claim to have any proof. They believe because despite you believing that it is already scientific fact that there is no God, they have yet to see an explanation of how matter can come out of nothingness to make the big bang a possibility.

  • So instead of saying I don't know, (And by the way, I claimed not at all that it's a Fact that their is no God. I only ever claim that the possibility is beyond incredibly slim, and that there is no necessity for one so far as we have observed.)

    They make up a necessary being with no hard evidence for his existence, give him a name no one can say, proclaim he has a bunch of rules that you have to live by, and if you don't live by them, you either get killed, or tortured forever.

  • When did it become so hard to admit our ignorance? And why is it a bad thing to not know? Why must we feign knowledge? Why is it such a big deal to simply say "Well, I don't know right now. Hopefully some day I will. If not, someone someday will figure it out."

    Is that so hard to say? Is it really so much of a challenge to just admit that you don't know something?

    I mean, I can hardly disprove Yaweh. I'll never claim he doesn't exist. But I'll never act as though he does.

  • This song is my playing test due April 8th! Ahhhh I love it :)

  • So powerful. Grieg rocks!

  • which is the orchestra in this version???

  • this song gives me constant chills all over and floods ith emotions that i can feel from my stomach to my tear ducts... simply amazing

  • Brought By The Simpsons.

  • Brilliant... First heard this from Geert Wilders' FITNA movie ...

  • @raymond942

    You know, that film has a lot of misleading facts.

    They twisted that words a lot.

    I'm a muslim & if I wasn't & didn't know about Islam, I would've hated Islam.

    Very very misleading, especially that part regarding women.

  • @raymond942 I just watched that because it was a part of my homework. I found it to be disturbing to say the least...

  • anyone else think that shit looks like a weed leaf?

  • @TheXgodzpkerx it does even more when you're on acid :)

  • @TheXgodzpkerx agreed, most people listening to this probably dont smoke lol, just you an me haha

  • @krooddubstep thats no fun

  • @TheXgodzpkerx it is though, its not sadness, just an intense rush of feeling/emotion, its not a bad thing

  • @krooddubstep and a few others probably. if you're looking for a truly mind blowing experience, listen to Beethoven's Grosse Fugue after you've smoked some good stuff . . .

  • @Bruckner79 thanks very much, i'll give it a listen tonight when i get it sorted ;)

  • Its realy, realy, realy fantastic! I feel intense emotions by listening this beautifull music... I was suprised by myself! Love it!

  • In October I played a Vampyr by the name of Katja in an original production of Brides of Dracula. Each of the three vampire brides had an introductory monologue. Standing in a single shaft of light, otherwise surrounded by the pitch darkness, I told my story while this music played. Katja's story is dark, and beautiful, and tragic. It is a story of how promises of happiness were swallowed by turmoil and betrayal. If Katja were alive, she would bleed "Aase's Death"...

  • I love this song to death, therefore i want it played at my funeral.

  • Love the visuals. Listened to this once when I was whacked out on something or other.

    Mushrooms I think.

    Ghandi spoke to me. Nothing important, really - And actually not at all...

    Still. Long live hallucinogenics - Down with government / tabloid paranoia over narcotics!!!

    (Seriously. You don't like it? Find a FUCK, and get OFF on it...)

  • Dieses Lied ist das schönste Produkt des Gefühl von Menschen

  • snufs snufs i am done with this song:(

  • lim

  • i feel emo wen listening to this song

  • One of the greatest Jewish actors of all time commited suicide to this music... Edward G Robinson.... but only because he knew that Soylent Green was People!

  • the theme to one of the greatest films FITNA... Well done Geert WIlders ...

    our hero

  • @raymond942 Well the fascism was surely not something that Grieg was a fan of.

    Please go back to your Zio-hijacked hole and don't pollute the beauty of the universe. Thank you.

  • How I love this music. I used to have it on vinyl in the 70's but couldn't remember what it was called only I thought it was Grieg. Thanks to youtube I just found it. So old Scandinavia to me. Truly beautiful.

  • Fitna fitna fitnaaaa! Great movie

  • @InStyle9 daaaaaaaaaaaammn !! I looked for this song because I found it in that movie a couple of minutes ago .. still a GREAT movie (despite Im a ... Muslim oO" ) hihihi

  • Just sublime.

  • I just came across some of Edvard Grieg's compositions while listening to In The Woods... - Mourning The Death Of Aase, finding out it is a dedication to the memory of Edvard Grieg.

    Thank you for all this beautiful music, Norway !

  • Very nice music quality, even at the loudest parts. Bravo to the musicians!

  • The more I see it the more I love it! Have you done something else the same way?Grieg  it's fabolous and this is a very magic way to hear and "watch" music! Bellissimo! LV.

  • This music-video is FANTASTIC. THANK YOU!

  • They played it every day on tv after Plane Crash in Smolensk...

  • I played this with my summer orchestra at a nursing home today.

    We realized after that it probably wasn't a good selection for a nursing home.

  • @alexisebarton lo to the o to the l =)

  • @alexisebarton oh poor elderly XD

  • @alexisebarton you may as well have played the funeral march

  • Comment removed

  • It hits me every time .... Such a wonderful composition...

  • This is very nice

  • beautiful.

  • It's Edvard!!!! not Edward!!!

  • @EdvardHGrieg Hahaa xD

  • @EdvardHGrieg hahaha!! Desperation! I understand you very well :D

  • epic

  • Comment removed

  • Listening to this song, I can feel all the greatness of life and death, pleasure and pain, love and hate. I just can feel those feelings but not to thinking about them, its like an uncounscious way made by the song, a pathway to perfection

  • Listening to this music makes me want to visit Grieg's home country of Norway. It makes me think of vast open wilderness with forests and lakes and Fjords. Just beautiful natural scenary. Cliched I know.

  • @plica06

    I've been there last October and I can tell you that siting in my hotel room at dusk, in Bergen, looking at Floyen and listening to Grieg with my headphones is an image that will be printed in my head and soul untill I die. Just go there and do the same ;)

  • @Mirrorfiend

    You'll be surprised to know how many metal lovers are also classical lovers ... its FAR from being mutually exclusive ... among the metalheads I know .. 3 out 4 love classical .. and the 4th guy is a closeted classical lover .. :P

  • @thedarkembassy

    perfect example is Metallica when they did the S&M concert with the full orchestra behind them

  • @thedarkembassy Dude, that is extremely right. Have noticed the same thing, though none of my friends have been closeted to it :)

  • @thedarkembassy I loove hardcore music annd this is my absolute favorite song so you are right :)

  • @thedarkembassy SO TRUE! As a metal head, I approve.

  • Grieg....for now,is my favourite composer

  • This reminds em of my brother (Lassarride) he died this year i......i.........i want to cry he was my brother you fucking understan this

  • @lassarride I dont mean to be a dickhead, but the silly imitation of stuttering with all the dots that you have fully consciously typed in makes your comment look somewhat stupid and the feelings that you tried to express hardly believable.

  • @Shezzein But he is dead. i was gonna film him when hes gonna learn you how to do magic tricks so i have the called "death tape" and maybe ill upload it on youtube.

  • æøåæøåæøå.

  • works really well in Geert WIlders' short film Fitna. Very powerful song

  • this song is beast

  • Soundtrack of the french movie La Rafle about the fate of several jew's family during WWII... I highly recommend it... This piece is a powerful masterpiece...

  • @monkeystu52 u say it like hose excepet withought the heh ose is how u say it

  • how do you pronounce aase?

  • it's a danish name and the letter Å or å is a danish letter which is almost impossible for any foreigns to pronounce.

    although if you say 'oh' it sound as if the word is combined by an Å-sound and an uh-sound. If you cut the uh-sound off which is the end of the word 'oh', it's the closest you can get to an Å sound..

    the name 'Åse' is there for pronounced: [Ose]

  • Thanks a lot ... very helpful

  • "å is a danish letter which is almost impossible for any foreigns to pronounce."

    Perhaps like the English word sword?

    /Magnus, Sweden. Btw, Greeg kicks ass!

  • @monkeystu52 ahh-cease

  • very nice :D

  • Death of whoever, makes you feel alive, weird

  • powerful song, very impressive ...

  • So beautiful makes me feel so alive...i love it...

  • love it

  • i can feel the emotion of the song :) very nice :D

  • yeah when he hanged himself in the cold cel

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!  :)

  • Lmfao this is by Edvard Grieg, Not Bach.....

    And Grieg is my favorite composer....

  • Grieg is my favorite composer also!!! :D his music is just AMAZING

  • This is an awesome song, I play this for my orchestra.

  • Baroque (16001760)

    Classical (17301820)

    Romantic (18151910)

    Technically, this is how its broken down

    BUT... I consider Bach a Classical Composer whether or not it is "correct"

    I decide not to break it down and complicate it.. I associate all of it with Classical Music because WITH IN classical music is: Baroque; Classical Period, and Romantic Era. If you look into it enough... it's all found under Classical. Sounds a bit contradictory but... Hey I don't care. I love it.

  • @michaelespinosa

    Bach IS Baroque, although he is not to be defined...

  • I know ! lol.. hence the dates and everything... did u not get the sensibility within my comment?.. it was pretty much saying i dont care what period its from... i view it all within the bigger picture, the sound and emotion derived from it. which i consider to be classical... its just my personal take on it.. i KNOW THE FACTS lol.. its easier this way :)

    thanks though. I know... He's incredible

  • You forgot 20th century.

  • all i need to know about music l learned from Duke Ellington

    "If it sounds good...it is good"..

    thank you.....goodnight!

  • 1) 'Classical' designates the time period of 1730-1820 - NOT the entire history of pre-20th Century music

    2) However, 'Classical' itself is a pointless signifier as its name denotes superior quality, which is arguably reliant on the aesthetic judgement of the individual...

    3) Consider that it is our generations that have placed such names to these periods. Mozart would not have considered his music 'Classical' no more than Bach would have said his music was 'Baroque'!

  • I get so into this song that I forget to breathe when I'm listening to it..

    Is that a bad thing?

  • well if you don´t remember breathing ´till it´s over it IS a bad thing... unless you can´t hold your breath for 5 minutes ; )

  • I can hold my breath for over two minutes. >>

    That's about when I realize "Oh man, I should take a breath, what just happened here?" xD

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 Thats exactly how i feel

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991

    I would ask you this question: What makes you asking others if that is bad thing? Nobody can tell only you because nobody knows you as well as you do. Asking others may be disempowering and you keep asking again and again until you will answer yourself. Regards.

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 No! Because Music is Magic and it touches our mind passing through our heart (specially for very sensible person as you seem to be).What you have to ask to yourself is: feel I Happy? Relaxed? am I deeply moved?So you can understand if is the music itself or something else that hurts you inside.In this case try to find out, music will help! For me is the same.Sometime we can stop breathing (for a little while ,please) for joy. Don't worry.Music is a great gift .LV.

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 Not at all. Rid the world of your pretentious nonsense.

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 no it just means you have a soul.

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991

    only if u asphyxiate yourself - on the other hand some people are into that. lol

    Being affected by music is a gift. Never a bad thing.

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 I kinda cried while listening to this song so...yeah I don't think yours is a bad thing xD

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 Yep, it is - sounds like a deeper psychological problem. You should visit a professional. If you dont you will probably die if you go on listening this song - or your brain activity could be lasting damaged. I feel comfortable while i listen to it - the inability to breathe sounds not very pleasant.

  • @Bzoargh I actually have 185% lung capacity and can hold my breath comfortably for 3 minutes... So...

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 I bet you don´t. The song is 5 minutes long - you´ll die for sure - take my advice noone wants you to get injured.

  • @Bzoargh Your concern is cute, but I don't need it. :)

  • @HerGuardianAngel1991 tough - last one now - im done with you >:I

  • a lovely piece of music to listen to.

  • beautiful :~)

  • Where have you been all my life?

  • sad

  • beautiful music omg.....!!!!!

    it's the best classical music i've ever heard !

    5*

  • Grieg isn't classical. His music is romantic that overlaps into impressionistic.

  • I don't consider him impressionistic....

  • You might not consider him impressionistic, but some of his music overlaps into that time period. Pretty much all of his music is in the romantic era making his music romantic.

  • Uh-huh. if you ask me, I say the only real impressionistic thing he ever wrote (in my opinion) was Peer Gynt. Just give his Piano concerto a listen, perhaps i'm just not as sophisticated as you when it comes to this, but that Piano concerto is nothing but late romantic.

  • Florine was obviously talking about the genre of classical music, not the Classical period.

  • Dude, romantic IS a genre. Just like classical and baroque. Just because they're a time period doesn't mean that they're not a genre.

  • Dudette, pick up any book about 'Classical Music' and you will see the periods listed, as 'Classical Music', include Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc. When someone says 'Classical Music' they are almost always referring to all the periods, not the Classical period specifically. To say that a Romantic composer 'isn't classical' is simply wrong.

  • Look, I've been in an orchestra class for seven years, I know a thing or two about composers. A romantic composer isn't classical. A romantic composer is romantic.

  • that is why I hate people who say: "do you listen to classical music?" and my answer is: "no, I listen mostly romantic and modern music , Listz., Grieg, Debussy, Scriabin, Berg"

    " So, you listen to classical music... liszt is classical , isn´t he ?"

    ASSHOLES

  • Once again you are conflating the genre with the periods. Maybe this will help:

    "The major time divisions of classical music are the early music period, which includes Medieval (476 1400) and Renaissance (1400 1600), the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600 1750), Classical (1730 1820) and Romantic (1815 1910) periods, and the modern and contemporary period, which includes 20th century classical (1900 2000) and contemporary classical (1975 current)"

  • So you see, this is classical music from the romantic period - you were confusing 'classical music' with the 'classical period', so your "correction" was really quite silly. Think about it - by your standards, contemporary classical ... isn't classical music! Bach and Brahams aren't classical music! Absurdity! Perhaps you should take a music history class in addition to orchestra.

  • bach´s music is not classical music... I never pay atention to the "genres" , as you say... Classical is Mozart, Haydn , Clementi, not Bach or Brahms... I studied history of music, so, the classical music AS A GENRE doesn´t exist (the only thing who exist is MUSIC ) You cannot say "Bach, beethoven, Brahms , Berg , all of them are classical music composers" Bach has nothing to do with Berg! This is romantic (or late romantic.) music, not classical....

  • Ahh, now genres don't exist? I can only say music? The terms rock music, hip hop, jazz, are meaningless? You're clueless.

    Why don't you answer this simple question - does the title of the book "The Vintage Guide to Classical Music" refer to the period or the genre? Obviously, you have to say the period, because, according to you, the genre does not exist. Why, then, does it cover composers from Bach to Debussey?

    Or will you claim that its Harvard trained musicologist author is wrong?

  • If so, I can cite a dozen other such books. Indeed, any book with "Classical Music" in the title will cover Bach, Beethoven, and Berg.  Why is that? Obviously because "Classical Music" refers to the genre, not the classical period.

  • So refreshing to read well-argued, informed comments on youtube. Quite the rarity, I find.

  • very good music  beautiful

  • beautiful good very music

  • very good beautiful music
