The applause in "The Planets" comes at the end - 6 pieces later. Having seen it live twice myself, it does feel unnatural not to applause after "Mars The Bringer of War", but that's just the convention.
i know absolutely nothing about classical/orchestral music and am now having a long over-due delve into it. It's absolutely amazing, epic sounding and shame on me for not doing this years ago. I'm normally into indie-rock, drum & bass, hip-hop etc. My eyes are being well and truly opened!!
IMO John Williams sounds MUCH MORE influenced by Tchaikovsky than by Holst. It is like if The Swan Lake was intended to be the Star Wars Soundtrack. lol
@MatheusManentee John Williams is inspired by many composers, among those Wagner, Mahler and Holst. In many the ways the orchestration by Williams are very similar to Holst, but the melodies are more comparible to Mahler and Wagner. I can´t hear or read that much Tchaikovsky in Williams music, just slightly...
@dannymaestro I guess it is all too relative... I was listening a lot of Tchaikovsky in the last days and started to think about how, sometimes, it sounds really close to the compositions, or maybe orchestrations, of John Williams music. Well, everybody has their influences, they are all great composers anyway. =)
I hate how you're not supposed to applaud between movements. How can you listen to this and not want to burst into applause immediately? It's quite a modern thing - they did applaud between movements a century ago, and thank god you can still applaud every aria in operas.
@trashcanalive The way that I've come to understand it, is that the attitude is much like how you would read a book; you don't applaud and congratulate the author after every chapter, only after the book is finished. That's the same way it is with music--all the movements are only parts of the central idea. Once the idea has been heard in full, then people show their appreciation.
@agentmabus333 Yes, I know that. I just think it's a pity that this 'etiquette' exists at all. It's only in classical music, it doesn't exist in opera or ballet and didn't exist even in classical a century ago.
Great performance. That part at the very end is really tricky to play. There were very few people that were off which is impressive. I wish this video could convey better what is like to hear this played live. I am a trombone player and once did this piece in a group. The brass section in this song is really intense. And in the second half of the song with the heavy brass section everything is vibrating on stage it's so loud. hearing it live gives you goosebumps.
Wonderful performance. My only quibble is that there's no current app to allow the viewer/listener to choose which sections they want to watch at a given measure/phrase. The camera director can't please everyone. I'd love to be able to choose a section or even do a split screen between 2 or four sections simultaneously. If the producer would allow all footage taken from a performances many cameras to be made available, it'd be pretty easy to do. Some DVDs let you choose viewing angle.
To everyone who says that John Williams has copied Holst just by listening to this piece. It's inspiration, which is probably what Holst had also. It's always happened and will continue to happen. Every note and chord has been played so if something sounds similar that's because probability says so. Both are great orchestral pieces and deserve just as much credit as each other.
@Matchmad He copied. "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" became Star Wars' "Sith Theme". He does it again and again: ET, Jurassic, Raiders. At least John Williams copies from the best.
Think for yourself now. Can you write a piece like the Raiders theme and have it not draw from anything else? Not if you're using a similar band setup.
John Williams didn't "copy" did he. Do you hear that ostinato pattern? Well I don't hear it anywhere in John William's pieces. Holst used a lot of brass in this piece. Williams uses a lot of brass as well. That's personal style. Copland used a lot of brass as well. He didn't copy from O Fortuna either. Check libretto
This whole suite gives me the chills, its so cool, fantastic and simply a wonderful composition. I can trace themes from the music in modern classic movies including star wars, jaws, alien 2, minority report, gladiator and others. Big Up Holst and cheers to all that appreciate this creation.
@platinum243125 Yep its the BBC proms done every year around now actually celebrating different types of classical music and composers. Brings orchestras from around the world though not just ones in the UK. It also includes choral groups and choirs. A night this year was the human planet and it showed musical influences from around the world. Mongolian throat singing for example! Really interesting
This is a fantastic performance. Charles Mackerras was a wonderful conductor. He wasn't an empty showman, but treated the music with a real integrity, respect and intelligence. And yet, he produced awesome, thrilling music. This is a powerful rendition of Mars. The climax at 1'15 gave me goose bumps. I missed this when it was first broadcast. He is sorely missed. RIP Charles.
@tomboy104 listen at 6:10 then 6:45 and you will realise they are different sounds. The first is definitely a gong, so the second can't be. There is no reason to think it was not a live performance.
@tromboy104 listen at 6:10 then 6:45 and you will realise they are different sounds. The first is definitely a gong, so the second can't be. There is no reason to think it was not a live performance.
This is a very enjoyable performance of the modern arrangement of the masterpiece. The climactic change of pace (at around 6.10 on this version) is one of the most exquisite moments in classical music.
Compare this version with the Holst conducted performance (available elsewhere on You Tube) which seems very loose and amateur in comparison.
I SO love the British! Only they keep the AWESOME styling and FANTASTIC finesse that is the Classical Pops alive and well!! I heard a Boston Pops Orchestra recording of this piece, and it SUCKED SO BAND, I tossed it into my fireplace!! That's why when I want to hear GREAT classical literature, I first seek out British ensembles! And I'm an American, too!
As a Brit I love your comment. America has some great composers and music (Howard Hanson symphony No 2 - to name but one) Shame there's no Proms equivalent in the US. I'm sure it could be arranged though.
Gustav Holst epic win. Hey John Williams, stop stealing from this guy to make music for Star Wars saga... The Planets suite and this movement in particular have all ingridients to make one of the best compositions ever IMHO. Thx 4 posting this.
@ndaemon Yeah and your an epic fail. Not to be a d*ck but musicians borrow fron others. There are fewer melodies to come up with ever single day so they borrow from other composers! Think twice before trying to sound smart on the Internet! Thx 4 posting this my butt
@vequense Are you a John Williams relative? STFU douchebag, If you try to sound smart on the internet maybe you should try start typing "from" instead of "fron". Your concept of "borrow" word mixes a lot with "plagiarism" you d1ck.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ndaemon d1ck? And your telling me to spell... I'm typing on my ipod so suck your moms dick shit shoveller....... i know a hell of a lot more music than you scared bitch. Composers do something called quoting.. Dumb fuck beaner..
As a band director and a trombone player, I LOVE this AWESOME piece of literature. A LOT of band nerds, like me, either loved playing it or are DYING to play it! I've played it, but it was an arrangement written for a Middle School Band (in other words, not that great, but serviceable). I like how the ending was drawn out so much. Some do it too fast, others a bit longer. This was a nice medium of the extremes! Also, this piece inspired a movie script that I'm currently writing!
@Bountyhunter306 Whoever said anything about that? The novel I have in mind is a HELL of a lot more intense and much more mature than that. Not to mention MUCH BETTER story writing!! :)
Every time I hear this piece I can't help but think of Star Wars. John Williams was obviously heavily influenced by Holst's work, and Mars in particular. Thankfully, it's some of the best music ever written.
@number1jew Agreed! Overall, this is a great performance, with very engaging videography...with one small quibble: as a trombonist, I think it's downright criminal not to cut to the trombones at 4:23 and 4:33...just my own prejudice.
If you ask me, this is quite possibly the most amazing piece of music ever written.. the whole planet suite is fantastic, but this just takes it to a whole other level. Thanks gustav :)
This is so lame! This isnt true art! Lady Gaga is so much better than this! I mean, come one. Have any of you even seen "Alehandro"?!? If you had you would never want to watch this crap ever again! This sucks!
No doubt there are many many recordings of the planet suite and everyone has their own favourite. But if you want to hear the all time best recording just check out Sir Charles Groves with te Royal Philharmonic. I have all the recordings mentioned and about 10others also and believe me truly the greatest ( even surpassing Adrian Boult with the LPO) is , suprisingly Groves.
I love this rendition... the rest of the concert is also amazing, especially the song of the high hills by Delius... check it out it's an amazing piece.
I think the faster speed overall works well. My main qualm is the strings - they're all note perfect but look and sound rather emotionless at times.
@Katertot75 How can a bunch of ordinary, everyday people produce something so beautiful? It is just amazing........and makes me so proud to be a Brit.
I do think that if it was one of them or the other or both. But you are correct, they are early as those are unison hits for the entire orchestra in the score.
yep I felt this as well. I loses it's power at the beginning a bit, but I do think that at the climax bit where everyone gets goosebumps the speed did it good though.
The applause in "The Planets" comes at the end - 6 pieces later. Having seen it live twice myself, it does feel unnatural not to applause after "Mars The Bringer of War", but that's just the convention.

I love this rendition... the rest of the concert is also amazing, especially the song of the high hills by Delius... check it out it's an amazing piece.
I think the faster speed overall works well. My main qualm is the strings - they're all note perfect but look and sound rather emotionless at times.

@Katertot75 How can a bunch of ordinary, everyday people produce something so beautiful? It is just amazing........and makes me so proud to be a Brit.

Fantastic! though is it just me or is the timpanist early at 6.57?
2thokmas7 2 years ago
I don't think so. I seem to remember that being the case in both of the 2 recordings I have. BTW, there are 2 tympanists :-)

I do think that if it was one of them or the other or both. But you are correct, they are early as those are unison hits for the entire orchestra in the score.

Finally I have found a video of The Planets performed at a venue more than 5 people have heard of.

in my opinion "Mars" is being played a little bit to fast!

yep I felt this as well. I loses it's power at the beginning a bit, but I do think that at the climax bit where everyone gets goosebumps the speed did it good though.

absolutely correct, the tempo has been stepped up for some reason.
