[XiaoYueLynn]

the conductor is familiar to me...Seiji Ozawa, once conductor of Yundi Li's concert too.. =D

[secondtakinmino]

habsburgs gone,but vienna is still belonged to them

[RoslynJoyJohnson]

Please note the shortage of blonds. Political correctness!

[forbesy300]

The First time I heard this was on my Barbie Swan Lake video! My taste in movies has changed but my love for music has remained.

Location ist die große Säulehalle des Wiener Parlaments, mit Malakhov tanzt Eva Petters, damals Erste Solotänzerin der Wiener Staatsoper. Weitere Solistinnen und Solisten sind Simona Noja, Roswitha Over und Gregor Hatala. Die Kostüme der Damen wurden wie bei fast jedem Neujahrskonzert bzw. bei den Balletteinlagen des Opernballs von Annette Beaufays, Leiterin von Art for Art - Kostümwerkstätten der Österreichischen Bundestheater entworfen.

[TravellerFellow]

[silverdolphyn]

I think the dancer is Vladimir Malakhov

[EpicFilipinoGuy]

I didn't know Vladimir Malakhov was an asian name!

[love5burgin]

@EpicFilipinoGuy :D Malakhov is the dancer and mr Ozawa is the asiatic master in this

[PlatniumProductions]

he is cheating, he is asian

[tw0403]

Always the best !

[firebot4]

BEAST

[jellybeanjasminee]

I wish i could dance like that :o

[thunderpunch21]

@jellybeanjasminee Don't we all :(

[punchthedog]

He looks like he could be related to Yoda.

[TravellerFellow]

ballet and the waltz, what a combo. I shared this on my face book account. *****

[TravellerFellow]

@TravellerFellow corection, the waltz, ballet AND some gymnastics as well. all together, totally divine !! ***** HooRah !!

[uchihaitachi34]

pretty dresses i bet they felt like an Elizabethan princess :)

[ester650]

הדנובה הכחולה עם רקדנים ; פשוט קסם

[TheHpeterson]

I've watched this video probably almost 20 times over the last two or three years, and it just keeps getting better. I can't help but hope that with programs like this the world will remember the great classics of pop music perhaps in ADDITION to pop music today.

[EvilStreaks]

kinda disjointed conducting :P At the end when it showed the conducting of the crescendo you could see the orchestra weren't really responding. I think it's their fault :P  They were running on their own sense of how it should be. Or, I'm wrong. Just how it appears to an interested working-class shitmuncher.

[Cobin09]

I'd like to see a football player run the ball like 1:22

[RandomVideoVault]

12 people are deaf AND blind.

[cardenco]

@RandomVideoVault

Just when I was watching this one, bitter number 13 appeared.

What's there not to like? Maybe 13 people can't keep up with the movements, people dancing and all that. Maybe they get dizzy...

I found it elegant and graceful.

[choosing2lookeast]

@RandomVideoVault No doubt. How could one NOT like the Blue Danube waltz? I could go the cheap shot and say they like Justin Bieber, but hey I like JB AND the Waltz LOL

[TravellerFellow]

Bravo !! just a little bit of some Old School Elegance.

[amorediahmad]

OOOOOOOOOOOh how elegant and graceful WoooW Simply wonderful and sooooooo soft and lovely :) I adore this music and loved so much the ballet. Thank You :)

[pianolover334]

I love the ballet dancers they're so graceful :)

[TravellerFellow]

my GOD !!!!! *****

[wicek777]

Happy New Year...yes we are the poor part of Europe its not our fault...Thank you Austro Hungarian Empire.Thank you Russia and as allways thank you Germany) Thanks for the music:) As long its legal..who knows maybe in the neaerest future some arab will claim it against their religion?And what We will do next?....Happy New Year so far its still politically correct:) Regards.Pozdrawiam:)

[wsdonovan]

@wicek777 hahaha i hate to say this, but "happy new year" is no longer politically correct. we have to take in to account that the entire world does not run on our Gregorian calendar (even though most of the world does). Screw it though. i'm with you, HAPPY NEW YEAR :D

[TravellerFellow]

just SO good. thanks for uploading this wonderful video. *****

[LawrenceRReedRyd777]

why do you ask me to watch utube and then don't let me with all those ibterruptions?????????????????­??/ yours Lawrence R

[SusanEyerAndersonDVM]

Perfection...

I can't help myself...I have to say this: 1:35 looks like Richard Thomas!! (Johnboy Walton)

[SusanEyerAndersonDVM]

Perfection

[ricolalozenge]

what the hell is with this video and always taking FOREVER to load?????

[TravellerFellow]

simply magnificent !! bravo and five stars from me. *****

[jyotishkoray]

Ozawa and Malakhov. Brilliant indeed!

[straussgirl96]

It really makes me wish I could have seen old imperial Vienna in all its glory!

[crazycamel345]

@straussgirl96 Lol perhaps if it was from this perspective... But I doubt it would look this magnificent from the bottom rung of the ladder... ;)

[straussgirl96]

@crazycamel345 Well I mean I wish I could have seen it through the eyes of an aristocrat. I in general try not to think of the downsides of things :)

[joewshen]

That is Seiji Osawa indeed.

[soldrier]

wow amazing 

[alelooooooya]

it sounds weird... the dancing is nice but the is is played sound rather unusual ...

talented young man !

[iolapassante]

.....Si sorride sempre tra le lacrime, quando si ascolta......c'è sempre qualcosa di incomprensibile che ci innamora........ l'Uomo è CAPACE di meravigliare se stesso per il Bello che crea e per il suo contrario.....Un giro di valzer, qual meraviglia di Bellezza!

[MasterAceman123456]

Der Blau Donau, wunderbar! And im American :)

[Gonnakillyou]

@MasterAceman123456 Die blaue Donau. ;)

Actually "An der schönen blauen Donau", but hey.

[KINGDOMoftheORION]

Absolutely stunning!!! <3

[mamolian]

This music brings back memories of playing frontier elite II lol

[lizchoreography]

im amzed to how everyone can do it at the same time

[MsLiooo]

Humm you know when you see that your life become unexpectedly nice and happy

[ADonovan43]

Beautiful music is but a slave to the passion's of ones heart.Take care. ADonovan43

[blackayumi]

This is AMAZING. I'm planning to use this song for my dance assignment (:

[tarowadashi]

Superb!

[MrXDMonkey]

How in hell are thoose 8 people that have given thumb down? kids today... There is no hope

[postalpawn]

I always chuckle to myself when seeing the waltz. This was only listened to and danced to by the youth of that generation and was considered quite decadant by the older generation. Things never change, only the music and the dance.

[xtremethomas]

I've always liked this song

[irishjig123]

If they play music as you walk through the gates of heaven then this must be it..........

[salbogex22]

the music and the dance coordinate so very well with each other it looks like its a play with a story.:)

[parzifal40]

The great Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.....the greatest orchestra in the world. The Vienna has no equal when it comes to both precision and sound...magnificent.

[TravellerFellow]

simply stupendous!

[9021062]

The Conductor is Seiji Ozawa and The Ballet dancer who opens the doors to the ballroom is Vladimir Malakhov, he is a Ballet Dancer for the Vienna State Opera Ballet.

[Forfica]

The whole thing is so fluid, and completely mesmerising.

[lex24boi]

DOOD! That is TOTALLY Ozawa..

[cufable]

Strauss ..Klimt .. .. toujours

[9021062]

The way it is played is great, because it sounds elegant and it makes me want to see a masquerade party

[rubiliciousily]

Most Music conductors always look insane... in my opinion :]

[balletnut]

Yes, that is Seiji Ozawa. I think he (like the dancers) is fabulous.

[SuperMagnetizer]

This makes me want to build spaceships.

[memo408]

@SuperMagnetizer spaceships? wth you get that from? lol jk. It is inspirational.

[notanon666]

2001: a space odyssey made me fall in love with this song

[KOLSARNIT]

@notanon666 TOO RIGHT MATE

[Narumisan02]

Haha! I know exactly where you're coming from!

[turn1210]

@notanon666 yeah me too, that scene is possibly the most moving piece of cinema i have witnessed

[Iskanderox]

I REALLY LIKE IT

[litheshadow]

i saw this guy live

[americangalbasseyfan]

Dedicated to those of us who appreciate the finer things in life. A masterpiece. And the dance sequence was breathtakingly beautiful.

[a20012251]

Great, great, great, what a masterpiece! I love the sounds

[DarklyAngel]

..ever since i read choke i honestly do think this song secretly makes death reap

[3wiggles]

:-)

[mullerheinrich]

Isn't that Seiji Ozawa?

[maestrovinicius]

@mullerheinrich No, that's Batman. COME ON!!!!!!

[MegaThucydides]

@mullerheinrich of course it is

[Gonnakillyou]

@mullerheinrich Notice the dancer? That's Malakhov. ;)

[queenzresident]

@mullerheinrich it looks like him,  although the other video i seen him in is the 1812 overture

[rainer1980]

@mullerheinrich

Yeah, that's Seiji Ozawa. He conducts the "Boston Pops" orchrestra broadcast on the A&E Channel for 4th of July fireworks displays amongst other things.

[PhilipineMan]

Esto es simplemente magnífico :O

[batista6224]

i love this song :P i did a funny version

of it XD w/ducks and stuff. its on my channel ^^

[beefire05]

so beautiful...almost like a dream

[scarlitte]

Thanks a lot Mahmoud ..It's Amazing Gift :)))))))

[lismir71]

Hermoso!!!!!! Es una lastima que en paises como el mio, solo se pueda ver por internet. Acá es puro reguetón y ballenato : (

[KlaatuAustral]

El Ballenato no es tan malo...

[a20012251]

@lismir71 Es una lástima, pero es un incentivo para ir fuera del país =D

[TheMissBleuet]

C'est trop MAGNIFIQUE !!!!! J'adore!

[findthecourage]

My God!.............It's full of stars!

[lawzeh]

ra2e3333333333333, magnifiqueeee

[BalinSilay]

He is so perfect. I would him to be Albrecht to my Giselle..

[lenkali93]

my god! you can't face it into words... he and his art are beautiful, perfect, amazing, awesome ! I absolutely

ADORE HIM!

[gardenalien]

You are !!!!STUPID!!!!! with comments like that. But then, you must be what in your terminology, you call yourselves !!! A Red Neck!!!

[gardenalien]

.... How do you know if he is gay or straight, and how do you know if someone is gay or not? Have you got special seances that tells you when someone is Straight, Bisexual or Homosexual and besides, I have loads of friends who are ballet dancers and FYI they are Straight and some of then married and teach ballet as well, and if some are gay So WHAT!! at this day an age we should we shud be beyond that and judge individuals for the personality and not 4 their sexual practice in private.

[wingt98]

you're an odd one for having posted such rubbish. just enjoy this beautiful ballet like the rest of us are. Enjoy it's beauty and please refrain from posting your perverted nonsense. You sir are an imbecile. Gosh i do no know why i am even wasting my time replying to this. Wishing you and everyone else more mature and better postings. Happy New Years.

[wingt98]

Ahh i guess i should have stated my last comment was in reply to KlaatuAustral. carry on :)

[lalabizkit]

no hay musica mas bella-malaga

[jayeung12]

I always like Malahkov's dancing because I get the feeling he's a nice person in real life

[amirtoma]

Read comments no.14 and 15 ,then my comment,donkey!

[amirtoma]

My only serious question here is ,"In which history you are specialized in,bordellos,brothels,or prostitution houses?

Your ethics and ways of expressing vocabularies refer to something concerned with prostitutes.

I am a 58 years old man,and I have sons each130 kilos weight,if your father was a eunuch,it is not my problem,it is yours,just go and ask your mother in the bordello,who was your real father?

She will tell you believe me she will,pimpesses are always modern and candid.

[amirtoma]

To historygenius

I think you are a donkey,and you need to read my comment several hundred times to understand what I meant(not ment),student of crack-of -shit establishment.

(Eunuch )and distorting amir to marria refer to which kind of bordello or brothel you are scooling in.What are you going to be in future,a bitch or a pimp?

[viviana126]

bravoo

[KlaatuAustral]

It's flat-out amazing how hard Vladimir Malakhov tries to demonstrate his gayness and lack of manhood (Minute 5:15 - 6:31)

I bet that the Führer would have sent him to the gas chambers.

[TheJourneyWarrior]

I Love This!!! An absolutely beautiful video to my favorite Absolutely Beautiful waltz!!! Thank You!!!

[amirtoma]

To the silly goose

Is there a difference between a boob and an armpit,both are sexy places in a beautiful woman.Sometimes an armpit can excite you more than a boob if it is clean and shaven and scented,right?

[historygenius]

@amirtoma, In defense of whoever this silly goose character is, morality (specifically sexual morality), at least in Western thought, is not a set list of do's and don't's, or flirting with the line as I like to call it, but rather a conscience choice of actions ment to lead to sexual purity. And if that guy was arguing Christian sexual morality (I can't find the comment, ), Christian doctrine (conservative, that is) demands total chastity or marriage. Essentially, if you aren't a eunuch, marria

[KlaatuAustral]

Only faggots can dance this waltz...

[Philagengrama]

He looks more like Chinese then Russian, though his name is Russian.

[LibbyMac11]

I think the Russian name is the name of the lead dancer. This is the Russian Ballet I think and the conductor is from Japan. I am 99.9% positive on this.

[habibisalsa]

Vladimir is originally from Russia but dances for the viennese state opera house ballet. The conductor is Seiji Oshawa currently the conductor of the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra. This is an excerpt from the world famous Viennese New Years concert televised live in 64 countries every year on the 1st of January.

The ballet has been shot in the Belvedere Palace.

[historygenius]

@LibbyMac11, is the .1% the chance that we live in bizarro world, perhaps? jk

[kain279]

Besides Tchaikovsky, it seems all of the best composers are from Austria or Germany doesn't it?

[Acidic0man]

what about zappa?

[Mr1800youfail]

3:30 - 3:35 ; Is the guy on the left grabbing her boob after that lift he does?

[frichikendz]

No you silly goose. Hes holding her up by her arm pit.

[msinvincible2000]

doesn't it make you dream?

[Truthseekerfinder]

I can't listen to this lovely Strauss piece without visualizing the space docking sequence from "2001: A Space Odyssey".

[jaywinzy]

I so so much like this classical. Amazing composition. RIP JOHANN STRAUSS II

[meli42991]

amazing :D

[PaulGMX]

definitely heard it to often here in austria...

[lmi88]

who is she¿?

Vladimir is great...as always!! :D

[Clearhighlighter]

Great "version" and great video.

[shushiango]

nice hair... :)

I LUV this song... strauss is the BEST.... really the King of Waltzes

[FabioPaduaR]

Fantastico!!!

Maravilhosas trompas!!!!

[myselfcat01]

that was pretty.

:-)

[magnolia161616]

przepiekne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bedlamandbroomsticks]

Gorgeous music, performance, etc. Everything is exquisite.

Does anyone know if there's a performance to this where it's simply a waltz, not a ballet?

[bigpappa9871]

have you checked out anderson and roe. they are on you tube. very interesting to watch them play. blue danube fantasy should bring it up

[Amir14Ameero]

can anybody please tell me who is the conductor in this video?

[leiaromanvoski]

Seiji Ozawa

[fingirl87]

0:03 creepy!

[Lindagata75]

This is one of my favorite piece, it reminds me my childhool, I used to dance ballet, over and over to this piece. I still hear it sometimes. I could listen to Classical music every single day . Everytime I I hear this piece I stay breathless. The Ballerina are fabulous, I would prefer for them to dance in pointe. I've seen them dancing in pointe to this piece.

[6Hrulz]

how do u pronounce DANUBE?

[Cr4ckerjake]

I assume dah-noob, but it might be da-noob-eh

[mistercleopatra]

dan-oob would be close

[6Hrulz]

thx! as well

[6Hrulz]

thx!

[Choefoe]

It,s officially called "An der schone bluaen Donau" Don,t know why they call it Danube, sounds kind of German too, maybe the river Donau is called Danube in English? Pronounce almost just the same as it,s written Danubeh ;} Donau is more like" tho now "sounds the same ;}

[Lithonion]

it is the so called "Donau Walzer"..."An der schönen blauen Donau" (translates to: on the banks of the beautiful blue Danube) We pronounce it pretty much the wy you wrote it down...perhaps like: dough now :)

[6Hrulz]

dazzled by its amazement

=DD

[skemberlo29]

lov it....

[paris190832]

poly wraio!

[seri1999]

my blue danueb is so fast than this song

[ABBAERIC]

Because you or someone is not playing it right, or/ your band.

[ralu4mike]

soooo beautiful, tearfull

[gutfrero]

vienna

[rebecaisaa]

Vladimir is a wounderful dancer !

[ralu4mike]

yes, Oh my :D

[6Hrulz]

cant agree more XD

[P1votG33k]

Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore!...

[RainhadoCanto]

There is absolutely no dance like the waltz!!

Just beautiful!

[xPeaceloveandmusicx]

This is a ballet waltz. If you liked this search for Vladimir Malakhov and Polina Seminova.

[RainhadoCanto]

Thank you , xPeaceloveandmusicx, for directing me to this pair, Vladimir Malakhov and Polina Seminova.!! Beautiful coreography in their impeccable performance of Swan Lake!!

You have very good taste in music! I pray you will continue to develop it!!

God bless you, my dear!!

[xPeaceloveandmusicx]

You are welcome. Try Allesandra Ferri if you want some more ballet. I love ballet, watching it and doing it. Thank you for the compliments.

Blessed be.

[tanpang]

Now is already the last day of 2008.

Lets enjoy this "New Year waltz" and hope everything will be better in next year~~

[transdcr]

Bravo Maestro! Bravo! Magnifico!

[lilninandbeat]

wonderful, what more is there to say.

[marshal1964]

This is beautiful, soothing, relaxing classical music. This is a perfect way to chill out after a crazy, frustrating day. Thank you for giving me peace.

[anzdf]

Maravilloso, la musica y el baile son Excelentes. Gracias por compartir este momento.
