[sumanthkris777]

He was so pleased with his orchestra.....the look on his face..

[sumanthkris777]

phew !! absolutely breathtaking.....

[mrdramirez09]

That was spectacular!

[musicman18ful]

Sounds like something the USC orchestra should play for football games!!!!!

[DOLRED]

I also watched the British Marines do this in a matching band--outstanding --check "Beating Retreat 2009." The channel is CandH0001----or something like this. 

[footballfreak6464]

Just another cat video....

[iljak1900]

Roma Caput mundi

[xrayman149]

Yes, out of Hollywood something spectacular comes on rare occasions.

[Mr820121]

[Joneslovestbones]

[MrLobbyludd]

Those horns at 1:44. Wow!

[MrLobbyludd]

To satranifan. It's on a DVD, " Andre rieu at Maastricht 3". You can get it from Amazon or his own website and it's brilliant.

[satranifan]

:(((((( Where can I get a concert recording of this???

I would totally pay for this...(and that's saying something for me).

[MrJZchicago]

talk about a solid wall of sound..great!

[Mattcar55]

Caeser Augustus would be proud!

[HulksterRunsWild]

"Lightning Bolt" at 1:44

[TheSiuDani]

Whats that for a language at the beginning?

[dimamonuf]

@TheSiuDani The language is Dutch

[drchepa]

too fast!

[Saartje05]

@drchepa no it's not, you're an ass.

[drchepa]

@Saartje05 of course i am an ass, the only good imitation was made by john williams, he  learnt from maestro rozsa.....this man is just triying to inpress,.....

[Saartje05]

@drchepa and is succesful all over the world. I`ve never heard of John Williams though..

[ArtR0001]

@Saartje05 If you ever heard the theme from Star Wars, you've heard John Williams.  Google his name.

[Saartje05]

@ArtR0001 I´ve never seen Star Wars. I´m probably the only one in the world though.

[ArtR0001]

@Saartje05 Superman, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan....

[prudenceislandboy]

God, hes such a madman..I love it.

[porthosw]

WOW!!

[pbrucpaul]

Reminds me of when I saw Ben Hur in the movie theater with Wide screen and surrounding speakers. Magnificent!

[jazzmaan707]

Make me want to march and sign up.

[Bergsontrumpet]

Caraca, wonderful,verry good!!!

[mustang73ism]

What a great tribute to the great composer Miklos Rozsa!

[erwinenrique]

FABULOSO, SORPRENDENTE, GRANDIOSO.

[Ascensiam]

his facial expressions are a performance in itself.

[VIVICANAL4]

AMAZING!!!DAZZLING, FANTASTIC! I LOVED IT.. BEAUTIFUL , THERE IS NO WORDS....

[ZeekWolfe1]

The critics hate Andre Rieu. Which means that I like his music.

[Flashmikko]

The four people who disliked this were run over in the Chariot race.

[sumanthkris777]

@Flashmikko Ha Ha Ha !!! you are so humourous.....ha!!

[danirola1]

azzin this is too beautiful.

[ppppandolfe]

If I was standing there would be extraordinary, worth Miklos Rosza not be present

[nazgulero]

Can you feel the might of Rome ?

[ondrmart]

Thank you so much André Rieu.....

[butti9249]

Grandiose !

[viorica182]

Sinceramente non mi è piaciuto tanto,fuori della scenografia,le luci,costumi,ecc.La musica sembra un mischio di Ravel(ricorda Bolero),oppure un po di Verdi(Aida) o anche Beethoven,cambiando "un po"la vera musica delle Guerre Stellare con una cosa molto "preziosa"ma che non mi piace tanto.Preferisco l originale e poi,posso dire?non mi piace tanto ANDRE RIEU!Bravissimo come violinista e basta cosi.Scuse a quelli che lo adorano!

[MrCubanacan]

Move over Star Wars! I have always believed this to be the best piece of movie music ever written. Hooray for Miklos Rozsa!

[lochinvar50]

Miklos Roszas composed this musical piece.

[Spartanhero25]

Never gets old:)!!

[hurdy72]

omg...............

[nacho12341234]

sorry about my ignorance...who composed this music?

[prudenceislandboy]

If I was him I wouldn't be waving that 1667 Stradivarius violin around like a damn baton..

[iluvviolin356]

@prudenceislandboy I took violin lessons for eight years, and if my teacher (who's a close friend) ever caught me pulling some of the moves that André did in this video, she'd probably have to resist the urge to strangle me. I'd probably get a very stern lecture. And my violin is only about a quarter of the age of André's, and nowhere near as valuable (a couple thousand bucks--André plunked down about $2 million, or €1.5 million). You just don't treat musical instruments like that.

[Falsify23]

Magnificent! Ben Hur is to this day one of the greatest films ever made and the score has to be the best of all time. Absolutely amazing performance!!!

[prudenceislandboy]

@Falsify23 and the digitally restored version is coming out at the end of October..I can't wait.

[mustang73ism]

This is almost surreal, amazing, bravoooo!!!

[henriquechianca]

Algo inimaginável, Rieu. Muito obrigado!

[kiaoraguy]

one of the best soundtracks of all time- and this cover is freaking awesome!

[calberobis]

Magnifico!!!



[felinazurda]

awesome!!!!!!!

[jopaul0366]

I LOVE BRASS!!!!!!

[Kalecommando]

I agree with another poster here... little to fast, and no tempo variation... but great anyway... super fun to see so many brass players in the street! Wow.

[chedy365]

good interpretation of this melody as is usual for ANDRE RIEU

[guntherhalm]

Excelent,..¡¡¡ffuuaaaaaaaaaaaa­aa!!!!!!!!!

[theloniusmonk2384]

Wow!!!....Great trombones!!!

[falcons1988]

what I would give to be performing in something like that

[Bierfass70]

S.P.O.R

[Bierfass70]

Heil Cäsar!!!

[AGFreitas11]

Venha para o Brasil André *-*

[Xan920611]

So this is the last hymn and military marsch just before tha Christianism began its unhonorable, culture-destroying activities.

This music is the last human music. After 456 AD we can't speak about mankind until the new age. But the real golden age was finished when Constantinus raised the christanism to a status as state religion. That was the greatest failure ever! Hail Rome!

[Xan920611]

That's the ancient Roman hymn...as I know, that's an original music, Miklos Rozsa found it and he made from this a parade music. But it's the hymn of the Imperial Rome in the first century.

Ave Roma! Forever!

[falcons1988]

@Xan920611

You kidding, where can I find the infomation on it?

[falcons1988]

@Xan920611

Hi

Please could you tell me where he got it from, as I am applying to do a MA in Classics with a focus on the music. I just would love to know more.

f88

[syrynus876]

A little rushed...too fast.

[sanjoysen]

suuuuperb !!!

[semitas777]

i like it this performance the sound the instruments for that reason ben hur won many academic awards in specially for this sound track its a too sad miklos rozas is not in this world anymore

[mace221]

That was f-ing awesome.

[Flickchaser]

Outstanding! I thought I had seen & felt the power of music before but the level of unified and synchronous energy delivered here will have to be described by someone far more eloquent than I. That disciplined&trained individuals could bring to focus such an outpouring in one location speaks well for the human race indeed.

[Bare36]

this is incredible!its better than a fantastic...

[MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs]

Stupenda musica, meravigliosa orchestra, veramente fantastici!

(Beautiful music, wonderful orchestra, really cool!)

[artno8854]

This so epic.

[laleauaneagra78]

Supeeeeeeer Taaaaarreeeeeee

[mistersony84]

i love to play this song while i´m driving 5 miles per hour at the city downtown. feel like Caesar going to work.

[EliteLethal2]

El que apretó "No me gusta" seguramente fue Messala.

[tink737]

Absolutely Fantastic!

[UncleGeorgeW]

Come to Wisconsin. We would love to see you here!

[UncleGeorgeW]

This performance was very well done.

[tmc359]

I would have liked to see a more intense reaction from the upper-middle class crowd. They are just too polite in their applause. 

[moonhorse100]

wow wow wow thats all i got to say

[Demoniacuz]

Holy Toast! THAT is by far one performance worth the title epic!

Exciting and thrilling to hear.

[f01863]

One word,MAJESTIC!

[maggie03456]

wow, this is cool~

[stan10jaar]

[ThEMAsterXfull]

la mejor marcha de benhur miklos rossa es un idolo

[ynp1978]

Wow! What a stirring performance of a legendary piece. I want this played when they carry my casket out!

[chkjns]

Tears running over my goose bumps while my spine tingles!

[redbeagle100]

This is the best !!!

[PalloneWafer]

ROMA AETERNA

[Jim91010]

Not bad, not bad at all. What was the occasion for this fantastic performance?

[cigar323]

Amazing!

[straigjm]

Absolutely sick! :D

[Altitudo128]

This is what you call "surround sound". Very impressive !

[spacepatrolman]

@Altitudo128 11 trombones not 76 but they usually have 4 1:55 6 french horns 1:50 how come the audiance is always 2:07 red 2:02 now i get 12 trombones

[Altitudo128]

@spacepatrolman Because you are counting the colours of your icecream instead of enjoying its flavour ... ;-)

[emde1984]

Excellent ! Greetings from POLAND.

[HPjojo]
