Magnifico linda opera , obra prima.

[twooffour]

Sounds a lot like Schubert's 3rd impromptu...

[Rompcom]

Thumbs up if this reminds you of GTA Liberty City Stories

[dbbgba]

@Rompcom so sad

[Rompcom]

@dbbgba - no, it fucking rocks!

[store5]

[caro5541]

Absolutely wonderful.The setting and costumes are perfect for the music.

Does anyone know who the singers are and where this performance was?

[19mira46]

[shamangris]

Is this from a DVD release?

[scampbell1955]

@ MySpring75 Well there is that flower girls song...... and.... but yes this is so beautiful that I cry.

[baragia]

Bello,bello sino alla commozione!

[Aranka53ful]

Gyönyörű!!!

[tunadelaltiplano]

!Es realmente sublime esta interpretación que nos lego giuseppe, me considero afortunado de poder escuchar esta musica del cielo, Gracias te doy vida de tener oidos...

[BoboSnowman]

It's a beautiful rendition of this beautiful song by Verdi. It has nothing to do with religion but politics and the love of one's country. I agree with one of the comments posted here, Why watch something if you don't like it or appreciate and know nothing about it?

As one "famous" person said, "It's like throwing pearls to pigs".

[homelonging]

Viva!

[louisehjacobs]

This is probably the best performance I have ever seen of the Slaves Chorus!!!

The song has absolutely nothing to do with religion or race ... appreciate the music and leave religion out of it!!!!

[helderaoliveira127]

a musica em seu estado de graça

@Doomshark3

Der Islam = Scheisse = Cristentums = Judentum und Religion ist Scheiße.

Islam = shit = Christianity = Judaism and religion is bullshit.

[joergbee]

@0314256 was bist du für ein kranker Parasit??? du solltest erst einmal beginnen zu lernen...!!!

[joergbee]

@0314256 und...zu verstehen. bilde deinen Geist und entwickle dich zu einem Menschen....dann können wir weiter reden!!!

[TheVivro]

I LOVE this!!

[RAREpicture]

Le vidéo ne rend pas justice à l'odeur nauséabonde qui "régnait" sur la scène ce soir-là. Un mélange de mastic et de déodorant pour homme. C'est fréquent dans les opéras où le "peuple" est sur scène. Mariage heureux des costumes et des cuivres mesures 212.

[SaltoMortale1000]

Nádhera!!! Ďakujem!

[0314256]

@kassem975

Islam = shit

Der Islam = Scheisse

[Doomshark3]

@0314256 so germans will always remain anti semitic, huh? religions are not shit, but persons like you are definitely worthless shit.

[kassem975]

@kassem975 open YOUR mind... or bomb yourself and make us all a favor.

[veinivan7]

Italian unofficial anthem

[blupampurio]

@veinivan7 Io non entro nel discorso leghista, ma piuttosto che prendere il "Canto degli

Ebrei" come Inno Nazionale, mi tengo il vecchio Inno di Mameli che, tra l'altro, è più vispo

e mosso per esser cantato insieme, che non questo, bello sì, ma da catalessi.

[24BICHI]

FANTASTICO, HAY QUE VER EN QUE POSICIONES CANTAN.

[Rouzmary]

our choir is gonna sing it

[agathbojtos]

nenachádzam slov už asi 30 rokov, som schopná to počúvať do " nemoty " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a zážitok z opery počas štúdií na VŠ sa nedá popísať. Proste " úžasné, nádherné "

[simonkadavid]

to be free is the most important

[ArwenElora]

This was played at my grandmother's funeral. It still gives me the chills when I hear it. so beautiful

[dedousek100]

Krásné..

[petraki1940]

Такава музика се слуша с захлас!

[TheMrvica007]

no...there is not word to describe the beauty of this...

[sessionmessiah]

When i listen to Verdi, i feel a strange sense of happiness... it's almost like being drunk with emotion... immortal music, eternal beauty....no words...

[kjallesoft]

@sessionmessiah A first , as you describe, one gets maybe "high on emotion" by hearing this.

Later on in life one feels the pains ,the strength and the intensity of this in a more profound and quieter way.

Bernard

[4807avh]

@kjallesoft This was written by Verdi in his late twenties. They had to convince him. He had lost his wife and child and did not want to write opera's anymore. Luckely for us they convinced him with the libretto of Nabucco.

[hugobrasileirinho]

Maravilhoso

[eirbiz]

Like a drunk on a Saturday night, why is it that, the minute you come across Hebrew/Muslim/Christian, you know there is going to be conflict.

Beautiful music means nothing to the guy who has his finger on the trigger of an AK 47.

Jasus, I wish I was an adult!

[lambecolin]

@eirbiz you are!

[agialidis]

amazing

[CoolWhiteChick]

Wow. So raw, so honest, such beautiful music, the way Verdi orchestrated the string section, as if the instruments themselves are pleading and the Met Opera -- I mean, have you EVER seen/heard such stellar performers, one and all or a set as grand!

[edguybillakos]

ΑΝΑΤΡΙΧΙΛΑ , ΘΑΥΜΑΣΜΟΣ , ΔΑΚΡΥΑ..... ΣΥΝΟΔΕΥΑΝ ΟΛΗ ΤΗ ΔΙΑΡΚΕΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΣΥΝΑΥΛΙΑΣ . ΤΙ ΝΑ ΠΡΩΤΟΘΑΥΜΑΣΕΙ ΚΑΝΕΙΣ?? ΟΤΙ ΚΑΙ ΝΑ ΠΩ ΘΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΛΙΓΟ , ΚΑΙ ΓΙΑΥΤΟ ΣΤΑΜΑΤΑΩ ΤΑ ΣΧΟΛΙΑ ΕΔΩ. ΤΟ ΝΟΥΜΕΡΟ 1 ΚΟΜΜΑΤΙ ΓΙΑ ΜΕΝΑ..

[DAngel6791]

ta aria nie ma sobie równych - dzięki niej pokochałam operę

[pimbadoti]

this is really the best slave choir  .. even the suppression on their faces shows how they are suffering one more time thanks for posting it

[donniecatalano]

Lega = Merda. Sorry, but that's the only language they understand... thanx for posting this beautiful masterpiece. Lovely and meaningful.

[wazer7693]

only word to describe it: Wonderful!

[nicolina1987]

Bahahahahha the guy at the end shouting YEAAAAAA

[BadAssBoogers]

aren't you glad there is an alternative to rap??? well, aren't ya? I am.

[helenafromla]

this gets me every single time no matter how often I hear it! just heavenly!

[downtown1961]

I saw this production. In front of us were an elderly Italian-American couple who quietly mouthed the words to themselves. The husband had tears running down his cheeks. Perhaps because the performance was so wonderful, or perhaps because he was remembering his youth and his Italy. In any event, I joined him and required a hanky.

[hura49]

Who are the 7 IDIOTS who do not ``like`` this fantastic piece of music?

[JMaldonado64]

@hura49 does it matter? Who cares? This music is divine, majestic!

[ItaliaMioAmore]

I assume they must have clicked the wrong key!

[MySpring75]

Are there anything more beautiful.....

[TheLoverOfRock]

Thank you for posting this!!! It is a beautiful piece, and I wish I could perform it. My grandfather was in this performance of it at the Met, and you can see him at 2:05 .

[Squidgington]

A very stirring piece of music.

[eminemgreenday]

no i do hate it

[MrDaanVreugdenhil]

Wow... I've been years (and years) ago to this concert, still a very beautifull song!!

[eminemgreenday]

this is a disgusting song i hate it



[sandcat20000]

@eminemgreenday why????????????????????????? tell me. it may not be my favorite, but its nice.

i assume u arent just trolling

[Doomshark3]

@eminemgreenday why did you come to see it then, stupid?

[dome364]

Quest'inno non può avere connotati politici!. Il solo modo per rispettare Verdi è dire che questo sia un inno alla libertà e basta. Qualsiasi connotazione politica lo sminuisce. Anche all'interno del contesto dell'opera si sente che è qualcosa di diverso, qualcosa che trascende quella specifica rivendicazione e pur essendo funzionale alla storia racconta di mille e altre storie, di tanti diritti calpestati e di tante ali di libertà spiegate al cielo!

[habana999]

I love opera so much - such a shame it is so elitist

[loragatt]

Well done very nice indeed i never get fed up waching it. God bless them.

[turimari777]

Gracias! :)

[zikmiodrag]

Ovo treba, videti čuti, te uživati u u metnosti!

[paulostroff99]

Lovely.TY w for posting.

[cenid2011]

Some people posting here are incoherent, inariculate, or uneducated, or they have a somewhat polemical perspective. The 'Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves' is an important opera chorus of nineteenth century lyric opera from Italy, and this particular mounting of it in New York treated the material with respect. Postings from people who use terms like 'dumb fuck' ought to be banned, for which see HermannBlanck below.

[marianaalexa65]

[raffadizzle]

@WiseMonkey888 It's the Met chorus : )

[madeddi]

@raffadizzle So we could assume that maestro James Levine is conducting?

[almoni33]

Isn't present any old and new Israel - iarsel one and only -it unique in the human history. The text speaks about itself - there there is nothing about palestine or australia- hahahah It is history of my people and my history...

עם ישראל חי

[hpschreiber]

Die perfekte Interpretation

[carmelocimas]

GRANDIOSA INTERPRETACION

[RESEGONINA]

I am sory for you all. Verdi did'nt wright this music for the Hebrew.

Verdi wrote this song for the Italian people because they where divided in many little states and dominated by Strangers.

This song calls all the Italians to fight for a democratic nation and come out of the situation of slavery from strangers that dominated Italians in that Historical period.

[radulica]

@RESEGONINA yes, this song was made by verdi, in the italian independence/civil war, to unite and fight against the austriacs that where in rule on much of theyr country.... Verdi's song was afterwards , up until even now addopted as a national anthem. The song was representative, as like the jews that wanted to get out of egiptian enslavement ( i think ) , so did the italians wanted to get out of the austriac enslavement and verdi's song gave people hope of the possible atchiveing of the dream

[fuxxx21]

This was written to unite the states Italy, nothing to do with modern Israel and nasty mess in palestine..

[budclovek]

@fuxxx21 You can be "on diferent planet" if you like / but to have a deep understanding of sorrows and pain of Hebrew Slaves for so long - their deep longing to be again in Holy Temple of God - to be again redemed people of God - that is a cry of this Chorus. I am in tears just listening sound of their cry. God bless them.

[HermannBlanck]

@fuxxx21 you are stupid!

Nabucco is an opera in 4 acts, based on the Biblical story It is Verdi’s third opera and the one which is considered to have permanently established his reputation as a composer.Nabucco follows the plight of the Jews as they are assaulted, conquered, and subsequently exiled from their homeland by the Babylonian King Nabucco.

Its first performance took place on 9 March 1842 at the Teatro alla Scala, Milan under the original name of Nabucodonosor

[fuxxx21]

@HermannBlanck Wow, you really a dumb fuck aren't you? And a confident one, posted the same shit twice. What you posted has nothing to do with modern israelis commenting on the hymn. So re-read the israeli propaganda acting like this piece has anything to do with them, understand why the piece was written and how verdi was trying to compare the 'story' of the ancient hebrew slaves with modern italians under the austrian rule and then ask your mother why she birthed such a dumb fucking son. Adio

[budclovek]

@fuxxx21 Nothing to do with Italy at all --- this is agony of souls longing for freedom and the nearness of God. A cry for restoration with Almighty God. Beautiful.

[SamuelChung94]

@fuxxx21 @budclovek maybe just a metaphor to unite the people of Italy under the common image of the Hebrew slaves as many Italians are, I believe, Christian / Catholic? this would be something they would all understand i guess

[fuxxx21]

@SamuelChung94 Exactly, in those days most christians like today knew the stories of the Bible, especially the old testament. The story of the hebrew slaves here was used as an obvious metaphor for a fractured italy, controlled by various empires such as the austro-hungarian empire etc. This was a beautiful call to arms and a statement to all italians to break free from their states and rulers and unite Italy as one, under one flag, in control of their destiny. Greek national Anthem is similar

[pavoman23]

@fuxxx21 actually Fuxxx21, unless I'm mistaken the Italian aspect of this chorus is deeply subtextual. While you are right in saying this has nothing to do with the modern day Israel, you belittle the historical context for this piece by only making it refer to bullshit 19th century Italian nationalism which is perhaps an even bigger failure than Zionism. As Mussolini said, we have created Italy, now we only need to create Italians. Babylonian exile was horrific - cannibalism and genocide.

[pavoman23]

@fuxxx21 Nice ad hominem defense, my views must be a result of not consulting wikipedia. Regionalism is still ramped in your "united" Italy. Additionally modern Italy is nothing to wholeheartedly defend. The economy is collapsing just as demographics reveal a country growing exponentially older every day. I didn't suggest Italy would be better as small countries, I'm merely stating the fact that it never really unified, get back to me when dialecto isn't systemic.

[Caleidus]

@pavoman23 Italy is one of the oldest nation in the world, even if young as state. In Italy, unlike Spain, Britain or France, separatist political parties doesn't exist. We are the second manufacturer country in Europe (our economy is based on goods production and not on financial "hot air"). Our families are the less indebted among the OECD countries, so the total debt (public+private) is not big. We've been dealt with our public debt for 20 years without problem.

[alekzandr]

@Caleidus What about the Northern League you dumbass



[luisstern]

@pavoman23 EXPLAIN TO ME THE "FAILURE" OF ZIONISM.......ZIONISM IS THE DREAM OF A JEWISH STATE AND AS I SEE IT, ISRAEL IS A JEWISH STATE THAT IS 64 YEARS OLD THAT IS FLUORISHING DESPITE WARS, TERRORISM AND WORLD HATE....SHALOM.

[haoren01]

@fuxxx21 This was written when Palestine didn't exist as is does not exist today, just fiction of nomad Arabs who desire to conquer the whole planet more with their Arab culture than with pure faith

[luisstern]

@fuxxx21 YOU ARE WRONG...THIS HAS TO DO WITH HEBREW HISTORY AND THE WILL TO SURVIVE AS A FREE PEOPLE. FROM THIS, ALL MANKIND CAN LEARN THAT FREEDOM IS THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT WE CAN HAVE AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT VERDI TRIED TO ACHIEVE.

[planetery]

@simon44192 How can you talk about a "Jewish race" when most "Jews" these days are of EUROPEAN stock with no connection to the Holy Land whatsoever?

You can't be "racist" against a group that isn't a race in the first place..

Besides, everyone knows that genetically speaking, the Palestinians are more Semitic than most Israelis..

[hadasb86]

@planetery

jews are a race-european jews were apart of early israelits until they wer abolished by the roman empire and lived in exile for 2000 years/ in that time jewa scatered to north african countries the persian gulf or north america and between european countries. eurpoen jews are semites just like arabs and israelis and palestinians are all semites. european jews may not have a connection with the modern state of israel but their history takes them there

[smole133]

It is quite sad that the work of some pube kid Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black have more clicks in few hours and this magificent piece of humanity's art work that has 260000 in two years. Truly, truly sad.

@smole133 Justin Beeper with ticks -obsession with his hair heheheh

[MySpring75]

smole 133

It shows what education has the young people today. So, so , so sad you are right .This is the real music

[smole133]

@MySpring75

Well, I think it is your personal choice, I mean, I am 16 and I go to a music school, I like to listen to this kind of music sometimes and my favorite modern music is Lynyrd Skynyrd. The problem is that some young people are scared to listen to something like this because they might be laughed at, and they think that people who listen to this kind of music are nerdy and they don't listen to anything else...Quite opposite :D

[donniecatalano]

@smole133: agreed. That shows the quality of today's minds!

[planetery]

@simon44192 Perhaps you are too intellectually dense to comprehend that the other gentleman was likely referring to the continual propaganda PSYOP of "Jews" (most of whom are actually Europeans these days) being "slaves" or "victims" instead of blood-sucking parasites who bring all the ill will on themselves through their virulent racism and their willingness to exploit others for their own personal gain. But then, something tells me you are probably too dense to know that is the case, anyway..

[budclovek]

What a wonderful message of trauma, dedication, longing for God and freedom! I am always in tears listening this supperb music. Be merciful God to Israel even in these days of darkness. Even more, Lord.

[wrlfck]

@simon44192 what do you understand?

against the background:two fucking puppets

founded the Israeli / Jews have enriched / killed tens of millions of Slavs

and so the whole history of this accursed people

[stymarania0410]

Najpiękniejsze wykonanie jakie widziałem....... Chociaż jestem mężczyzną, to zawsze poryczę się przy tym... Piękne słowa no i to zachowanie chóru przy wiwatach. Nie stoją, nie kłaniają się.... Nadal są na swoich miejscach i widać całe cierpienie na ich twarzach.... To przepiękne i cudowne !!! Widać artyzm i profesjonalizm. A to zawsze mnie urzeka. Super! Nie ma słów w języku polskim, by wyrazić to co czuję słuchając i oglądając to ...... Dziękuję za to :-)

[JusticeVSpropaganda]

what does it mean 'standart liscence of youtube'? that I have to credit the artist and composer, but not to pay? thanks

and thanks also for uploading :)

@wrlfck Who are you domine? Carying human body yes, but who are you? Do you have soul at all?

@budclovek According to Chabad Lubavich, NO, he doesn't have a soul- none of us goyim do.

[MrBaddel77]

@wrlfck your mother is shit. fuck you

[rivenoak]

There is a 9 minute+ version of this on youtube. It's so long because the choir was so applauded they sung it twice.

[maxthevid]

If this doesn't send shivers up and down your spine, rest in peace.

[Gheorgyi]

@maxthevid Matter of fact, it used to - up to some time ago. together with some tears to my eyes. Am I growing too old and cynical? Maybe. But no matter, it still is a beautiful piece. I am Italian, and I think THIS should be our country's national anthem, not the very rhetorical "Inno di Mameli". It has one defect though, it's too slow. That shouldn't do much matter, ALL national anthems are usually slow. But the best and most stirring one is still the French "La Marseillaise".

[alegria1109]

PLEASE, tell me which opera ensemble is this???? they are MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marinazi1]

@alegria1109 "Nabucco" by G.Verdi

[alegria1109]

@marinazi1 thanks, but i know that... my question was, which ensemble is this - which quire, from where... because i've never heard/saw such a great performance of this song!!! i LOVE their singing and the director is obviously a genious!!

[marinazi1]

@alegria1109 I suppose it might be one of Franco Jzefirelly"s performances, perhaps, Metropoliten Opera... I"m not sure! But that reminds me!

[alegria1109]

@marinazi1 thanks... that was the answer I was looking for :)

[mava96]

@alegria1109

total idiot !!! :DDD how the fuxk did you get here, if you dont know that this is Nabucco's most famous chorus !!!!

[Macilija26]

@mava96 OMG!!! some people! the person obviously asked for the performers! if you are not able the help, don't be rude!

[Macilija26]

@alegria1109 somebody put a comment that this was the met! i'm not sure either though!

[Gheorgyi]

@Macilija26 Yes, this WAS performed at the Met iun NY, 2002; why not? Musical notation is the same all over the world (I wish it were the same for quite a number of other things). Musically, it's a good performance. As an Italian, I could express some reserves on the accent and pronunciation of the lyrics, but what the heck... let them be, they are good. Certainly, it isn't the same as it might be with the choir of La Scala Theatre in Milano... but one can't ALWAYS have PERFEFCTION, right??!!!|

[ttogafer]

@nakedcelt this is not an aria. Aria is when a singer is accompanied by orchestra.

Not many arias bring tears to my eyes - this however....

proud to be italian like Giuseppe Verdi, ashamed to be italian like berlusconi

[Vivienne178]

@gilpisa well, you re not verdi and you re not berlusconi, you are you and you should be proud or ashamed for the things YOU do. and not for your dna or a piece of land.

[gilpisa]

@Vivienne178

you're wright. Anyway what I told was related not to myself but to my Country. Millions people here in Italy feel like me that tyhe country of Giuseppe Verdi, Leonardo da Vinci and many others is fallen down in a nightmare. And they are ashemed.

[madeddi]

@gilpisa Many people in Britain feel the same about their country.

You are not alone in today's world with this feeling.

[ibisblu]

Bella l'esecuzione, splendida la scenografia!

Grazie

[MauricioRaizman]

A masterpiece, no doubt!!! Tenía que ser Verdi para componer algo tan maravilloso.Que pieza tan delicada y tan conmovedora. Solo los grandes pueden expresarse de esta manera!!! E senza altro vengono de Italia!!!! La ópera Italiana es maravillosa!!!!!!!!!!

a fost, este si va ramane superba!
