This is one of those songs that, while a great song in and of itself, will always be more widely known for pro wrestling. I mean, really, how many people hear the theme from 2001 and REALLY think of the movie 2001?
I wish I could see the post performance reaction of the orchestra, one can only imagine that they break out into celebratory applause if this is indeed the first time they played this as composer and musicians together.
Imagine is Mussorgsky had written this piece for the orchestra instead of the piano. Think about how much better it would be (and this is already so god damn awesome!) One of the lost opportunities in romantic music. Oh well, at least modern classical was there to pick up the slack.
This amazing. It is sucha powerful song. I am playing it in my bell choir and my director says he wants it to strong as if a king was walking in and you were playing. He told us to look it up.
@keithr1985 I agree with your praise of this performance. It's very good. These guys produce good sound at opposite ends of the volume range and with great precision. Gives me goosebumps.
So, this is one of the best performances of this song I have ever heard! The brass doesn't beat you up, and the accents don't stick out too much. I've heard versions that are hard to listen to, but this one is amazing! Excellent work !
The Moscow State Symphony is going to play this in Louisville Center For the Performing Arts Saturday Nov. 13th...do I have a ticket? Does a fish fart bubbles...:-)
This work by Mussorgsky means everything to me. When I was about 9 years old my father presented it to me and from then on I knew that music is what i want to have my whole life revolving around. This very piece expresses what music means to me. It's not able to express it with words, it's just the emotions that it "triggers".
I use this music for the video of my home! My favorite Classical music song! It is actually a part of 'Pictures From An Exhibition,' this one being called 'The Great Gate of Kiev.' It was a prize winning drawing, not an actual gate, but Google it!
@flipboitj Actually, Animusic's "Pictures at a Cathedral" incorporated 3 pieces from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" including "Promenade", "Baba Yaga", "The Great Gate at Kiev". So, yeah, it should remind you of it XDDD Except this is the original.
I love that piece, but the conductor looked like he was having a seizure. I never understood why they were always so overly handsy. I prefer to conduct with a simple motion, so as not to confuse the performers. But to each his own.
u cut off the last note? y? thanks for putting it online though, conductor wants to go slowere at the end than the orch doesd, he does well the force them into stayin with him.
One of my favorite orchestral pieces actually. Really captures the true spirit of Russian Romanticism and music in general. The part right after the intro should have a few extra "p"s thrown in there, but otherwise this is an excellent rendition and probably the best on Youtube at least.
Not bad at all. This chamber (whomever they may be) walked through the gate pretty much intact. It is not a piece for beginners, especially the close.
music for the sake of melodoius sound without the history, story, politics is stupid - when one considers the politics of Russian hegemony Musso obviously supported renders this music to the category of SICK!!!!!
@prabbit68 So what you're saying is that we should judge music based on historical and political significance instead of its actual sound? That good music isn't good because it caresses the ear or soothes the soul, but rather because the composer shared you political views? wut.
@Ishi8878 not exactly - we should judge music based on actual sound, emotions, historic and its political significance - after all these have DIRECT BEARING on the final composition
I don't comprehend how not changing the spelling is arrogant, ignorant possibly. I do, however, find it rude that you are being so condescending over an accident. I guarentee you the misspelling was unintentional and was not meant to be offensive.
haha it is really good but professionally if the musicians and the conductor did their own part in the creative process (that is to do their 'homework' and learn the music before hand) then you can definitely get this! even at the end there's a mess up and this tempo is a TAD slow but nothing disgraceful! : )
@jirishanca The conductor's doing a very nice job, but the level of preparation is largely owing to the fact that any professional orchestra is expected to bring their A-game to the first rehearsal; time is too short to waste.
I agree with the guys under me arguing how to spell Kyiv - this is the correct and official name as written in article 20 Ukraine's Constitution - official English translation. Ukraine Govy use Kyiv. I think it arrogant to continue the misspelling
is it arrogance? Kyiv is more likely to be mispronounced and sound worse. In most languages, you have the spelling reflect the pronunciation and not the transliteration

If you're ukrainian nationalist it means you're "HOHOL". Just DIE and dont rape this land and souls of good people. Rusichi are brothers,it was,it is and it will!!!
Cossakfreedom - brothers do not invade Ukraine and kill millions of innocent Ukrainians - and remember Holodomor? - Ukraine is recovering from the destruction of Russian and soviet occupation - help Ukraine rebuild its true culture as according to its constitution - start by calling the capital by its official Ukrainian name translated to English - Kyiv - as written on all the signs in Kyiv
United Snakes of America.. Hey I like that.. Hey I appologize for my rude remarks.. I shall recant my statements.. it seems that I have ignorance towards ukrine, may we start off on a new foot
unfortunately every time I hear this piece I assocoate it with the enormous damage and killings carried out by the Russians on the innocent Ukrainian people and I am glad the correct name Kyiv is once again posted on all signs in Kyiv in independent Ukraine
Dude will you stop with that Free Ukraine Shit.. You had that posed in another video.. Let live and let go dude. Stop annoying us with How the russians damaged Ukraine and the Ukrainians. Read The Scripture in Isaiah where it says Man will dominate man to his injuiry, and Isa 2:4 and please i'm not trying to be mean. but .. we heard you already
that "free Ukraine shit" as you put it is ultimately far more important to Ukraine than your pitiful whims and murmurs about a crappy piece of music written by an alcoholic womaniser
How Sad you are Hetmans1, how sad you are. That is why in 1986 Chernobyl had a nuclear meltdown. I feel bad for those who suffered.. but maybe Ukraine is a sinful country.. Just like russia is. Bunch of Megalomanic people who are full of occult worship
How little you really know - the Ukraine I visited and lived in for many years is Orthodox and far more religious than anything in the west. Chernobyl is another blight perpetrated by Commie inept leadership headed by criminals in Moscow. The level of occult worship in Ukraine is practically non existant compared to United Snakes of America for instance
No Kyiv is the correct spelling of the capital of Ukraine - its on all the signs throughout Ukraine and Kyiv. Kiev is the Russian spelling since this piece was written when Ukraine was under Russian occupation/repression
technically yes but Chicken Kiev as was Great Gate of Kiev came into existance when Kyiv was under Russian occupation hence the Russiafied name of Kiev - but the correct ancient and modern spelling is Kyiv transliteraion of Ukrainian Київ NOT russian Kueb
Great recording...this is a favorite of mine excellent performance and thanks for the great audio....it is reminiscent of the great Decca label recordings. I feel like I'm there in midst of it, Superb!
This is the most inspiring Great Gate of Kyiv I have heard for years and years and years. It's really good. No one has said who the orchestra and conductor or. Wow, first reading, I'm so pleased it was recorded.
aka stands for "also known as" cheetopuff97. Next time you post something on the internet for the entire global community to see and ridicule, check your facts. Thank you and that is all.

I bet it sounds good though. A clarinet is a clarinet. A clarinet player is a clarinet player. I'd rather hear this than Flight of The Bumble Bee. In fact I mostly disliked most of those technical show off pieces.
My band (The Jacksonville State University Marching Southerners) incorporated this composition into the ending of the final song of our show, specifically from 5:50 on.

LOL you sir are a queer. Get with the times ol timer and if you dont like it keep your racist opinions to yourself. OBAMA mothafucka suck on that shit
examples: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still.. Don't even get started down this path. You are trying to mix cuture with a genre of music. The majority of Mozart's works are not played because everyone gravitates towards the few 'major' pieces every time, but that doesn't diminish him. What of the reverse.. who are the white composers that have written great pieces of jazz music that still endure... same problem. Very few because of culture they were raised in.
Why would you to use such beautiful music to insult others? You should respect it more than that. Neither rap or classical are exclusive to one ethnicity or gender. I learned that in college. Good day.
Really? No way. The acoustics of the room or maybe the recording device or something ruins the audio quality. I would love to say this is a good performance but the sound quality doesn't allow for a proper evaluation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Russian repression = russified title Kiev -the correct name is independant and free Kyiv - in fact Mossorgsky's music reflects a time of Russian persecution of the Ukrainian inhabitants ie deaths, prison and deportations of innocent Ukrainians - Mussorgsy infact was racist bigot oblivious to the real Kyiv - the great gates of Kyiv is covered with Ukrainian blood - while Russian sat around playing their music - represents a terrible period for the Ukrainian people. Mussorgsky sucks !
Wow, this is fantastic...I had the oppertunity to play this with my high school band, so there were no strings, but it was still fun. I am really impressed by the sound quality, it is top of the line...and hats off to this group, they did a marvelous job
The correct English spelling is Kyiv - you should find that all informed and new sources are slowly adopting the correct spelling correcting the Grammatically incorrect Russian name Kiev which was enforced in Ukraine during soviet repression. Perhaps you can inform some of the tourist agencies as well.

Если горишь ты по-русский, тогда написайте Киев как мы его пишим в России или Укрании, но если кто-нибудь американский, англиский, немецкий или каков бы ни. Имя как Имя. Мы знаем что этот город в Украине зовут Киев и это всё, что имеет.
JonVon you are dead wrong! Kiev = russian whereas the correct English transliteration of the gepgraphic Ukrainian city КИЇВ is Kyiv - russian go home - we do not want your slimy presence in Ukraine and take your inferior dicky language with you
Jon Von what you have written is absolute rubbish - and it reflects Russian arrogance and ignorance - Russia go home - besides Russian language is not popular anywhere on global basis - it is still spoken by Ukrainians who are a product of Russian Communist indoctrination

Und vielleicht wenn sie alle deutsch oder russisch sprechen würden, dann bräuchten wir nicht solche zwecklose Sprache wie Ukrainisch. Russisch, Deutsch, doch sogar Latein wären besser als ihre Piginsprache, aus der wir keinen Gebrauch, Kunst oder Werte herleiten könnten. Sitz' mal und lernen Sie etwas, was ihnen nützen würde. Kiew, Киев, Kiev...wesentlich ihnen aber der Welt egal.
the part right before the 3 minute mark..i think should be pulsating and restrained just as this conductor did it..and slow....very, very nice..as for the rest...sounded good to me!
This is not Bydlo, this is the Great Gate at Kiev, the final part of this piece. Good job, the conductor looks very assured and elegant. The orchestra sounds very good, although the very last notes probably needed a little more passion, they sound too metered.

My band (The Jacksonville State University Marching Southerners) incorporated this composition into the ending of the final song of our show, specifically from 5:50 on.

One of the ways how this genial Mussorgsky's composition should be conducted and played, IMHO. Very nice version, congratulations!

examples: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still.. Don't even get started down this path. You are trying to mix cuture with a genre of music. The majority of Mozart's works are not played because everyone gravitates towards the few 'major' pieces every time, but that doesn't diminish him. What of the reverse.. who are the white composers that have written great pieces of jazz music that still endure... same problem. Very few because of culture they were raised in.

Why would you to use such beautiful music to insult others? You should respect it more than that. Neither rap or classical are exclusive to one ethnicity or gender. I learned that in college. Good day.

This is by far the best version of the piece on youtube.
By the way, is this the Ravel Orchestration?

Really? No way. The acoustics of the room or maybe the recording device or something ruins the audio quality. I would love to say this is a good performance but the sound quality doesn't allow for a proper evaluation.

Russian repression = russified title Kiev -the correct name is independant and free Kyiv - in fact Mossorgsky's music reflects a time of Russian persecution of the Ukrainian inhabitants ie deaths, prison and deportations of innocent Ukrainians - Mussorgsy infact was racist bigot oblivious to the real Kyiv - the great gates of Kyiv is covered with Ukrainian blood - while Russian sat around playing their music - represents a terrible period for the Ukrainian people. Mussorgsky sucks !

Wow, this is fantastic...I had the oppertunity to play this with my high school band, so there were no strings, but it was still fun. I am really impressed by the sound quality, it is top of the line...and hats off to this group, they did a marvelous job

The correct English spelling is Kyiv - you should find that all informed and new sources are slowly adopting the correct spelling correcting the Grammatically incorrect Russian name Kiev which was enforced in Ukraine during soviet repression. Perhaps you can inform some of the tourist agencies as well.

Kyiv comes from the name of the city in Ukrainian, while Kiev from Russian. According to wikipedia, both spellings are correct in English.

No the correct english-ukrainian transliteration is Kyiv - whereas Kiev existed while under communist rule up to 1989- this is a fact jack

No offence, I respect your right to call your city as you want, but I will stick to Kiev as I have my reasons;)

Если горишь ты по-русский, тогда написайте Киев как мы его пишим в России или Укрании, но если кто-нибудь американский, англиский, немецкий или каков бы ни. Имя как Имя. Мы знаем что этот город в Украине зовут Киев и это всё, что имеет.

JonVon you are dead wrong! Kiev = russian whereas the correct English transliteration of the gepgraphic Ukrainian city КИЇВ is Kyiv - russian go home - we do not want your slimy presence in Ukraine and take your inferior dicky language with you
kyivcossacks 2 years ago
Jon Von what you have written is absolute rubbish - and it reflects Russian arrogance and ignorance - Russia go home - besides Russian language is not popular anywhere on global basis - it is still spoken by Ukrainians who are a product of Russian Communist indoctrination

Und vielleicht wenn sie alle deutsch oder russisch sprechen würden, dann bräuchten wir nicht solche zwecklose Sprache wie Ukrainisch. Russisch, Deutsch, doch sogar Latein wären besser als ihre Piginsprache, aus der wir keinen Gebrauch, Kunst oder Werte herleiten könnten. Sitz' mal und lernen Sie etwas, was ihnen nützen würde. Kiew, Киев, Kiev...wesentlich ihnen aber der Welt egal.

This is not Bydlo, this is the Great Gate at Kiev, the final part of this piece. Good job, the conductor looks very assured and elegant. The orchestra sounds very good, although the very last notes probably needed a little more passion, they sound too metered.
