  • being drunk and listening to this is like standing in front of God...You can't think, you don't feel....yet you are awed..

  • Comment removed

  • I should read on and click "Show More" to find that Jeffrey Tate, born with spina bifida, is conducting the English Chamber Orchestra which is performing the Molto Allegro of Mozart's Symphony 41 in C Major.

  • What a tremendous sound from such a seemingly small ensemble ... the sound is absolutely superb, the strings lustrous, bold and energetic ... all the majesty of Wolfgang is present in the music, but who, pray tell, is that conductor. A quick Google on Rudolf Barshai yielded a conductor who died in November 2010 at the age of 86. This, presumably handicapped maestro at the helm of this outstanding orchestra, is not four score anything by any means.

  • lol the composer's shirt looks like it's gonna pop open at any second >.<

  • @sweetstrawberry147 That's not the composer, he's the conductor.

  • It's foolish to say that one could not perceive all five voices at once, when Bach and other masters of counterpoint could improvise five and even six part fugues.

  • Personally, I'm offended that Woody Allen would say that this proved the existence of god (in the video description). It's as if he's suggesting that something this wonderful couldn't possibly be created by humankind alone. Clearly, Mozart could!

  • @catterallpf Ah, shut up.

  • Didn't know that about Woody Allen. Thx for the post.

  • Great piece of music!! I really like Tate!! Even with his condition, he's still a great conductor! Here's to Mozart, and Tate's great interpretation of Mozart's music :)

  • Lovely and wonderful! Thank-you!

  • Why does the conductor look all lobsided and tilted??

  • @dominoes37 Its a muscle condition I think. It doesnt affect his great conducting though! :D

  • @dominoes37 because he's disabled and chairbound.

  • sublime!

  • Oui cette oeuvre a quelque chose de divin, à l'âge ou il a quitté ce monde, il aurait pu en écrire 80 !

  • youtube.com/watch?v=EmV35VPRT9­s

  • 240p, We meet again. But oh, wait, this piece sounds so fantastic that I dont need 1080p. :D

  • The best performance of this symphony that I heard. BRAVISSIMO!

  • I've never heard of a 9 voice Bach fugue. Ricercar, from The Musical Offering, is a six voice fugue. It's very different in feel from the Mozart coda, but it's very beautiful.

  • I'd go with Danny Devito, Shemp from the Three Stooges, and a little Stephen King. Amazing performance of this piece though!

    When all the electronic crap falls apart or blows up we'll be listening to this and jazz.

  • The conductor here looks strangely similar to Danny DeVito.

  • @dactylus90 i know but i cant choose about its beethoven or mozart that are best :P

  • Danke, habe Link gesetzt

  • A testimony to the high degree of perfection attainable by mortal clay.

  • Wonderful!

  • wow, is this live? because it sounds like PERFECTION

  • fucking mozart

  • @psy511 i hope you are meaning positive (:

  • This symphony + Jeffrey Tate and the English Chamber Orchestra = pure perfection :)

  • @VTFreestyle224 The acoustics in this concert hall are also astounding

  • Mozart and Beethoven are tha best!

  • @nobodyelse211 its mozart only

  • Im pretty sure thats the conductor that raped my sister..

  • I dont understand how anyone could dislike this.

  • @redSHIFT69 If you don't like it, don't look for it. Keep looking for your wannabe music of today instead.

  • @redSHIFT69 You suck

  • I like it a conductor, a very dynamic and good sound.

  • The description makes it seem like Mozart created the original Wall of Sound.

  • pause for porn? this amplified my porn session!!

  • The description is so ridiculous; I can hear 5 melodies and their counterpoint just fine (without divine help), Mozart only started seriously studying counterpoint through Bach's work later in life (when this was written) and Bach improvised a 9 voice fugue and multiple voice fugues regularly.

  • @pguitar13 What you are hearing is the combination of the 5 voices, which together make one melody. To put it differently, you are listening vertically. This is not to say that I'm denying what you're saying, but I highly doubt that you are simultaneously hearing the horizontal progression of each voice at the same time.

  • @VTFreestyle224 No I'm not but w/e. The 5 voices don't make up a melody either; he's just playing with the 5 themes that compliment each other and were thought and written for that reason. A better argument for the coda being so great is that the 5 themes compliment each other so well etc, not "and does something that no one has ever achieved to the extent that he did, not even the illustrious Beethoven." Mozart is my favorite composer but it's just stupid and wrong to say that.

  • @pguitar13 "9 voice fugue"? Cut the crap, please.

  • @ThoughtsofaPerson You might want to do some reading before you type and sound like a retard. All I'm saying is the description is exaggerated, and the coda isn't nearly as complicateed as the description makes it out to be; it's just a fact. Read something about Bachs improvising, Art of Fugue, counterpoint in general..

  • @pguitar13 "Reading"

    There's no source stating that Bach ever improvised a 9 voice fugue. Good luck finding it.

    "Exaggerated"

    There are 5 voices, 4 and half themes, and the coda is governed by invertible counterpoint. How many quadruple strettos (sp?) did Bach write?

    "Read [about Bach and counterpoint]"

    I have.

  • Thank you very much Mr. Mozart. for letting your music and for making our world better.

  • IBDP music HL!!!

  • @balonglongllama hahaha loooool its so funny I found that here, I take IBDP but i don't take music HL, I just like this music :P

  • They're all in perfect unison. It's bliss to my ears.

  • This is the very best symphony by W.A. Mozart, in my opinion.

  • WHOLY SHIT SO FUCKING EPIC!!!!

  • My third favorite....nothing has been able to touch his 40th in my book.

  • outRAGeous! I keep watching and loving this! thank you! ♥

  • Such a masterpiece. Such a tragedy that Mozart did not get the opportunity to write any more symphonies before his untimely death at the age of 35.

  • People need to listen to more than just the popular Mozart Symphonies. I was at this one (watch?v=xDBGKBPbonU) and it only had 57 views. There are such beautiful songs out there that people are missing out on.

  • I can play all these instruments at once with my eyes shut and no hands or feet playing this song 500 times fasters than this video, sped up to a staggering 0.5 seconds.

    Mozart would still pone me.

    (and i know music is not about the speed)

  • @knt1234561 "The fat dancing man in the front waving a magical stick" is the conductor.

  • @Padishyia Hahahaha.

  • @Chakiejan You do realise he has spina bifida, a disease which afflicts the spinal cord, making rather difficult *cough*nighimpossible*cough* to exercise. Mr. Tate's hardly a pig.

  • @Chakiejan He was born with spina bifida...

  • We are going to play this at my school.

  • Truly a work of beauty!!! Mozart really works those violins! Fabulous and amazing...

  • Mozart fucks 240p! :) 

  • Comment removed

  • A marvellous performance of an astonishing work. The ECO under Jeffrey Tate confirm once again that they really understand how to play Mozart. The work itself is very aptly named; this is a relatively rare moment of unrestrained virtuosity from Mozart, as though his frustration at his life situation at that time led to an outburst of raw compositional power. No other composer, for all of their different merits, has even come close to the technical facility on display here.

  • @simondurrant1 What exacly was going on in his life when he wrote this?

  • 7:56 start of the genius, 8:24 incomprehensible

  • This piece is important because it is the perfection of the classical symphonic form and this is a very fine version. If it fails to move you, you probably don't like classical music. I was thinking of posting "Mozart was better!" on one of Lady Gaga's songs, but that would just make me look silly wouldn't it? ;-)

  • Thank you for explaining Jeffreys condition. This is a remarkable version of one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, by anybody's standards. Everyone looks funny when they are so caught up in the music that they no longer care what anyone thinks of them. It is pointless trying to compare pieces of music in different genres, be that Bach or Beethoven or your favourite pop performer. X Factor probably gets more viewers than Shakespeare, which only goes to prove that people are easily led

  • listening to this while doing my homework :)

  • hope they had all wore wig.

  • just got this piece in the mail today for the youth symphony i play in. cant quite play it up to tempo yet, but i really like this piece :)

  • 33 people are Justin Bieber fans :)

  • Mindblowing.

  • The cadence at 2:17 - 2:23 is very much similar to the cadence in Piano Concerto No. 7 by Mozart.

  • No. 5, not 7, and it's the 3rd movement.

  • The harmonies at 6:00 are "killing" me!!!!:)

  • @MrMrBobik - Jeffrey Tate is severely handicapped having been born with spina bifida and also suffers from kyphosis, or curvature of the upper spine. Please try not to make jokes at the expense of those brave enough to do their work despite public humiliation from such as you.

  • @maestrovoci I totally agree. Is he wheel chair bound or can he walk?

  • @quinn244 - I only saw him live once, and that was more than 20 years ago. He walked, but with great difficulty. I wish all those who mock him would instantly be given his physical condition for the rest of their lives. Poof! Away with them!

  • @maestrovoci Thanks for clarifying I appreciate it. And I agree with your other statement.

  • Comment removed

  • @nequillim Nay, Mozart's been around for 200 years, and could probably play circles around Bieber.

  • that conductor makes me want to quirt soda form my nose

  • @MrMrBoblk

    Comments like yours make me thank God for people like THAT conductor. So, stop acting like a feeble You Tube troglobite.

    All the best.

  • @MrMrBoblk I hope a grand piano falls on you some day

  • @MrMrBoblk It's always good to hear from someone as you, with the wit and class to denigrate a disabled person who obviously has accomplished infinitely more than you could ever hope. He will continue to achieve, and you will continue to exist within an impoverished mentality. There is justice in the Universe.

  • @Shanelololol Hey, you seem like a really smart guy. I'm sorry some people suck. Don't play into their games. Just relax, and enjoy music. Anybody that wants to make music anything more than enjoyment is not worth your time. Like your youtube ID suggests, just laugh them off.

  • @nequillim The palaces and royal courts he played for kept records and why would they need to lie.No reason. He definitely existed as we have records of his visit to london which cannot be tampered with. He doesnt need anyone to make him seem better he does that all by himself with the music he produced. JB could just be a robot programmed to sing. they can do that you know.None of its alleged,its all real,And as i said before we like this music, all music of today stems from stuff like this.

  • @ 1:16 Wow!!! Just wow.

  • @nequillim Mozart wrote his first symphony when he was 8 and his first opera at 12.At 3 he was picking out chords on the harpsichord .Just before he was six,his father took him and Nannerl,also highly talented, to Munich to play at the Bavarian court, and a few months later they went to Vienna and were heard at the imperial court and in noble houses.JB is definitely not smarter that Mozart

  • @dixiedixie447 it wont let me put the sources so its 8notes./biographies and biography./articles/Wolfgang-M­ozart

  • @nequillim Lol obvious piss take :P Seeing as most of the artists you mention enjoy classical music immensely.

  • @nequillim the reason its just notes and melodies(btw some of his pieces have lyrics try his Requiem)is because it doesnt need words.it speaks to your soul through the music and JB is good for today but compared to Mozart he might as well be a vegetable.its not just 'dun- dun' music its more beautiful than that .Did JB start writing music at 5 and was he able to play instruments at 6,no is the answer.Ive seen your comments on a few Classical music pieces.so if you dont like it,dont listen to it.

  • @nequillim oh a can you give me a reason why pop music is better than Classical music? no didnt think so

  • @nequillim here's my reasoning: this music is and still is regarded by many as divine and they have superiority over contemporary music because : A Contemporary music is shit and B Classical music like this has been around for 250 years and it will be around for another 2050 years +. Pop music like gaga and beiber will be dead and buried after about 15 years. Also classical music is for the intelligent and the a specific group of people who like it. if you dont like it FUCK off

  • Mozart is for me the most autopoietic musician!

  • just listen..

  • Mozart IS the voice of God..

  • Mozart IS the voice if God..dont u get it?..ever?..

  • @nequillim please, for the sake of humanity kill yourself. you dont deserve to inherit the same earth as mozart did so please just die and be burnt to nothingness

  • @nequillim please stop trolling. you obviously have a very very small penis if you're a man and if your a women your in perma period mode. No one cares about what you have to say so god die in whichever way you deem best. Bieber and gaga have talent for todays music but they cant hold a candle to mozart, bach, tchaikovsky etc..

  • This is really a good piece! In my option not as good as Bach's Brandenburg Concertos - but this is certainly good! Good enough to fit in my collection of classical music.

  • God almighty, don't ya just tingle when they hit those high notes and bring the crescendo? I mean, my god, ol' Mozart is just toying with us, leading us around by the heartstrings. I wish I could live my life with this in my heart. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that these muscians and that conductor dude aren't forgotten. What did Hugh Grant say? Bewildered awe? Sums me up, for sure.

  • I do believe this is Mozart's magnum opus... clear, clean and superbly balanced. I hope this video receives more hits.

  • I salute you, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! The man who made me pause porn for 9 minutes and 31 seconds!

  • @Neonalfax oh congratulations this is part 1 ... not the full symphonie

  • @googlekopfkind no this is the 4th and final movement of K551 :) The grand finale

  • @Sinsteel i know

  • @Neonalfax LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • This is definitely not an easy piece of music

  • donot need god it is best human can make it

  • @dinkarrao1 without God this would not have been inspired. mozart was a man of great faith.

  • @Shanelololol Mozart was around at the time of enlightenment... Bach's faith was strong. With Mozart though his faith was very flacid... when he speaks of God he writes about him in a very non-passionate matter of fact way. He however in his letters writes things such as "Composition is my one and true passion". So I don't know here you got you're idea from that faith was his drive?

  • @motorcycliscian why would he go out of his way to write pieces which glorify God if God didn't inspire him at all?

  • @Shanelololol He was inspired by creation, he writes about that. Maybe it was expected of him to write glorification to God works? Would be quite odd for a piano composer of the time to go against the grain, we see him also compose Sonata's and Symphonies instead of creating new styles to do whatever he pleased. I think money was one of his main drivers, as he states in letters that is one of the most important things to him. And he was almost always paid for everything he wrote.

  • @motorcycliscian stop writing if this is based off of your opinion instead of actual facts.

  • @Shanelololol You originally said "without God this would not have been inspired". No one can know that except for Mozart, so stop lying or creating some odd belief about Mozartyou couldn't possibly know. The fact is he wrote amazing pieces of music, that we do know. And that's all that really matters.

  • @motorcycliscian i said that because it is true not an opinion.

  • @Shanelololol Quote your sources then if it's true?

  • @Shanelololol Oh are you being all religious? Oh I get it now, you're just attributing your deities apparent creation of every person as the soul reason for Mozarts virtues and skills? Never mind... I thought I was speaking to a rational person :)

  • @motorcycliscian you are very biased and an unpleasant person. im just saying that There would be far far less good music without God to inspire it. and i was pointing out that Mozart wrote about the Lord therefore God obviously played a role in his career.

  • @Shanelololol Lol, agreed. Same said for Alcohol, and a large number of drugs.

  • @motorcycliscian mozart was not a drug addict. or an alcoholic

  • @Shanelololol You said there'd be far less good music without God to inspire it. And I was just saying the same can be said for good music existing due to alcohol and a large number of drugs. Talking about good music in general, not specifically Mozart at this point.

  • @motorcycliscian Listen, how dare you even begin to challenge people for their religious beliefs. Whether or not you believe is irrelevant. Denying the influence that Christianity had on music is like denying that wheat is used in bread. Back off. And what's worse is you are probably so arrogant that you will miss the point of this statement and get defensive and insult my intelligence. Prove yourself to be rational and calm the FUCK DOWN YOU ARROGANT TWAT!

  • @saotomi5102 I'm not denying it, I'm saying it's impossible to say you know Mozart was inspired by god. He doesn't make that apparent in the letters he writes which is our only real source for his personality.

  • Reduction of Woody Allen's argument: [premise] "X is cool" > [conclusion] "God exists". I myself do see a few problems here...

  • Well, I don't agree about the God part, but this is easily Mozart's best symphony, and by an order of magnitude the most influential.

  • If Mozart had lived longer and written subsequent symphonies, one wonders what kind of glories might have been attained

  • This movement of this symphony is Mozart's magnum opus-no doubt.

  • In order to understand what Mozart felt is to go back in his time and imagine what life was like. This music was known to man as a Godly way to appreciate today for tomorrow has its' own. The donut was not even invented yet, but candle was was.

  • Best orchestral piece ever written, thank you Mozart.

  • Even money the conductor still has his clothes picked out by his mom?

  • 31 people think Rebecca Black is talented.

  • gaga and bieber wise up were talking about a genius here

  • that conductor is funny!!!

  • I loved the counterpoint in the finale!

  • @nequillim Yes, he is popular...for being disliked (that's why it is important).

  • i cannot imagine that people in 200 years will remember Justin Bieber!!!

  • This is beyond genius! Five different fucking themes being combined simultaneously in the most brilliant display of virtuosity, experience, and superb musicianship!

    Can someone please get a dictionary and try to find a word that's sufficent to describe just how fucking genius this movement is? Because I know such a word doesn't exist!

  • This is a great piece of music. The conductor was awesome.

  • now multiply the classical figures by thirty to account for all those years youtube wasn't up.

  • @nequillim WANNA BET?

  • @nequillim Oh yea? What about the PERCENTAGE of DISLIKES?

  • Comment removed

  • Just brilliant.

  • the conductor lol

  • @nequillim haha, apparently you haven't studied classical music at all. there are tons of forms that are dances, ex. bouree.

  • Is that Elliot Gardner? What is this ensemble, the year? Anyone know? It is a remarkable video

  • Imagine too if you can, that this composition was conceived entirely in his head before anything was written down. A five part double fugue, with all it's mathematical perfection.

  • Mozart mola

  • As an argument to the whole dancing thing. Mozart was hired purely to write music to dance to. He hated it, stating the lack of intelligence it took to write, so he played jokes in the songs (starting a song with several cadenzas), just to prove the idiocy. Mozart was, and always will be king.

  • thumps up if you'r cool :D

  • ive heard better

  • @nequillim pfft? u'll see after 50 years. 

  • addicted to mozart!!!!! if that is even possible

  • @nequillim bad joke

  • @nequillim um... you can dance to classical music, but not modern music. what you call that dancing? i call that drunk, high idiots jumping around like monkeys, not dancing. real dancing is minuets, gigues, ballets, sarabandes, and gavottes.

  • I am very much a stoic, and this piece still evokes such a profound emotional response. Truely one of the greatest of humanity's many achievements.

  • Dear Mozart, this argument looks terrible.

  • And who's talking? We all know Youtube is bribed to promote them into being front-page!

  • @nequillim Oh really? Monotone music for idiots made by idiots. Like people will listen to music that has hardly any variance to it. Classical has that beauty in which 6 parts come together and blend in harmoniusly. You deserve to be hit on the head with a Chinese violin for that. Wait, not even a Chinese violin. More like a rotten fish.

  • So why talk to the obvious troll and not just turn off comments or listen to this piece? Wow.

  • @nequillim So your saying there has been no dancing for all the past until Gaga came around? What do you think they did in that time? Danced? Oh of course not! They just named half of all musical forms like sarabande and and gigue (which are dances btw if you didn't know) so you could sit around thinking about how in the future, they would dance to Lady Gaga music? You probably don't know it because they were sophisticated dances, unlike just waving you arm and jumping up and down.

  • BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVISIMO!!!
