Rimsky-Korsakov. Scheherazade

[mzeyada1944]

Scheherazade was always inspiration. the music is wonderful.

[albondie73]

This is a beautiful classical score appeared in "A Clockwork Orange" when Alex appears eating grapes surrounded by gorgeous damsells ;)

[kastarlv]

Like it!

[skycladeskimo]

i;d watch all

[talbotvanman]

I first heard this as the sound track in the film 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

with Kirk Douglas and Peter Lore. Fell in love with it and several recorded versions.

[TheHansky]

I'm envious that I'll never play half as well as her.

[BolonItzacab]

26 ignorants!!!

[sarapan25]

nicemusic!!

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

i was advised that my petite lap giraffe would enjoy this

[NaturalBornSkeptic]

@GiantEnemyCrab63 Opulence - you has it!

[OGreatNamelessOne]

This piece sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it...simply beautiful.

[dracublah]

so fun to play

[AlwaysAbiggerFish]

Is this from the composer Stravinsky studied under?

[zeds2ded]

Try  Tononi for violin

[BroadSword398]

[jimmyratz]

I really love this youg orchestra very much... The young woman who is playing first violin is simply marvelous. Bravo!!!

[MrDoomhippy]

[muffinman10210]

This movement is on of my favorite pieces of music. This is a very good youth orchestra!

[dannyhood66]

How much do these musicians get paid?

[12Anapa]

Most of the people playing it are teenagers, amazing

[Mylene341]

Reminds me of Love...

[TK2008BEST]

@Mylene341 this piece is something more than love.

[RubikCuber1]

That first chair violin is AMAZING.

[Rafaelevangelista504]

[perljan7]

[tachi110]

yeah!

[thunch]

amazingg !!!!!!!!!!

[HidingfromtheDay]

Amazing!

[TheSUSAN1022]

Fabulous!

[KentRigeI]

I'm listening along and every now and then a certain part would make me think of some movie, video game or something where that same peice of music had played - and until now I'd had no idea where it came from... and now I do and am glad for it.

[misanthropas]

@KentRigeI My friend is the part played in the background of C64 game Arabian Nights and the original Prince of Persia game (if memory serves well on Amiga)

[HidingfromtheDay]

Amazing piece of classical music ...

[elmachucho]

Que maestria!........Inolvidable, estube alli y sigo viviendo la musica

[yaarky]

once this nightmare ends

Arabian Nights was once one of the literature master piece from middle east now

it's only war :( that's how war eliminate anything beautiful

[lily5490]

Bravo to this young lady and her violin playing. It is exceptional and brought tears to my eyes. Bravo to the orchestra and to Concertmaster Alexandra Hjortswang for a fantastic performance.

[memorast]

This is one of my 2 favorites. Tchaikovsky piano concerto is the other.  To witness either one of these live, is like being in heaven. Or at least as close to it without being alive from the dead........ If this is a glimpse of our youth, then we should not worry about the future.

[mariloujuly]

which is the best version to buy?

[LCSTRAVELBUG]

they are sooooo talented!!

[hazem901]

coooooooooooooooooooool

[musicwithease]

Most enjoyable!

[Tinch0772]

hi...im wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the song that is usually associated with coldwar U.S. and Russian films..the typical piano song...thanks

[filopaa1990]

@Tinch0772 maybe... romeo and juliet by prokoviev?

[Tinch0772]

@filopaa1990 thanks for the info...;)

[wellersoncabral2]

Caranba...Muito LOko...òtimaaa Musica....Estão de Parabéns Todos q fizeram Parte desse grande Concerto!!!!

[kyleholsgrove]

I'm not a classical music fan to be honest so this is actually the first time I've ever heard this song. It's truely beautiful and played by a group of people with real talent!

[brathoryshanny]

Muy buena obra del compositor ruso; disfruto mucho de la musica clasica en mi 7.1

[anisometropie]

for goodness sake, why is there more than 1 violinist for the last harmonic, moreover when it's not exactly the same E we can hear the beat

[antoinette365]

lighten up. these kids can't be out of high school!

[bluedragon94]

What the heck was that at 1:47???!!! Beautifully done, but very dissapointed at the transition and break in music on the video.

[chrisnoid]

very nice to listen to - thanks all!!

[belicious33]

excellent!!!

[skainer01]

me gusta el solo de violin es tan nostalgito.... es simplemente una obra maestra.

insuperable

[ch112063]

This is fabulous, the 1st. and 4th movements are my favorites. Thank-you for making it so easy to hear this piece. It has gotten me through the worst times ever and I haven't been able to hear it for a long time. To see these young people play these intricate parts is just great to hear and see.

[trappolino1]

Ottimo!!!!!!!!!!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I didn't say TDs version made sense. Enough people liked it back then to make it one of his biggest hits. It reminds me of Elvis Presley singing "It's Now or Never" using the melody "O Solo Mio" by Eduardo di Capua. I suppose if one doesn't like it they could refrain from listening to it again.... Don't you agree? Thanks

[immortalx50]

It makes no sense. Dorsey's song is nothing but a generic jazz piece

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I didn't say what I said to be critical of either version. I only suggested that those interested could listen to it and see if they enjoyed it. I'm very fond of the original "Song of India" myself. Years ago I traveled in India and went up to Manali in the Himalayan foothills (mountains) and in that benign, pastoral place the memory of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakovs version came to mind. It does capture the mystical, fantastic India once you get out of the cities. Sorry if I offended you.

[Markinsky]

Excellent, Excellent performance-please post the whole piece. Thank you.

[skycladeskimo]

please post it whole

[masjasjujica]

veldig fint perfomance, gratulerer!

[masjasjujica]

veldig fint perfomance, liker den! gratulerer! :)

[Nermalton77]

Épico, faz me lembrar do reino fnatastico de Tolkien, A terra media

Epic, makes me remember of the fantastic realm of Tolkien, Middle Earth

[AnjoDun]

This is the best performance of this song I have ever heard. This is just magnificent!!!

[PabloRGA]

someone must make a study on how classical music makes people cough

[Aelkamal]

maybe when your relaxing all your mucosis are flowing slower lool

[steverlfs]

Stunning! Great music, wonderfully performed, and a sexy violinist to boot!

[zauberwortful]

this music like scherezade,touch in our soul.uplift our spirit,getting in uppermost feelings onto our souls.wundervoll musik,danke viel,für diese musik von engelen.wunderbär!wieder steige ich und wieder in deinen Brünnen.aufswiedersehen.

[Conuxe]

[jsantiagomera]

Beautifull

[eXcommunicate1979]

I can't believe this video skips the entire climax of the 4th movement. D:

[hellokittycat00]

ive listened to this a thousand times (no pun intended) and ive never commented on how beautiful this version is. Thank you for the great performance! the song (and story) holds a special place in my heart

[Halfoooot]

Arabian Nights ..

[frankitoxi]

This men Korsakov was a fucking genius.

[kcaj48]

they should have an all-country orchestra in the U.S.

[meixingdongmeixing]

they do, lol

[hnbballerina]

after seeing the ballet I am in love with the music.

[SnowSpiritGirl]

The music from Binbir Gece <3

[babyDolluRocknRoll]

[puckf17]

There are no adequate words.... only to say I feel elevated and the violin soloist was magnificent. I would love a recording of this. Thank you so much!

[filip000]

the violin solo, especially at 4:31 is absolutely sensational.

5 star ratings.

[xacethatx]

This song is so graceful yet lovable!!!!

Brilliant!

[cammuth]

briliant.

alexandra is to passional.

[paulostroff99]

Harika parça, Binbir Gece (1001 Nights)

[monsetagt]

expectacular concierto expectacular musica tremendo video felicidades!!!!!

[frannkiko]

superb!

I love that violin solo

[stickwagger]

Shame about the audience, this is great!

[jason101other]

That concermaster has a superb sounding violin. Something tells me it is not a strad or guarneri (maybe I'm wrong). Further proof that many other violins sound just as good as the strads and guernaris. The exclusive superiority of those violins is a myth.

[jepkofficial]

@jason101other I think you are giving too much credit to the violin. ;)

[Robkat3751]

First chair Violin is probably in her teens? And her playing is incredible. I am speachless on how to describe what I am hearing.

[phinksy]

@Robkat3751 Indeed! What a talent!

[TexasRocker07]

@Robkat3751 "Nordic Youth Orchestra". It's in the description.

[BFreiburg1]

This was amazing. When I grow up I want to be in a Orchestra.

[Laneymarlene]

Thank you ----a lovely musical memory revisited

[elfthief3110]

one word is enough PERFECT

[Superclarinetmorman1]

This is youth???? Wow thats awesome!

[palmyrazephyr]

Good job kids !!!!!!! Good luck to you all in your careers!!

[Kostian4ik]

Rimsky Korsakoff forever and ever and ever in my heart !!!!!

[Dzidson]

[asdfkathleen]

What a wonderful melody.

This video is making me want to get the recording.

[borham2008]

أكثر من رائع

اف شكر

[ivebeenthere1]

a true & wonderful find...I am overwhelmed with praise for this youthful orcheestra

sheers magnificence

thank you Gary

[spinalrupture]

i was lookin for this piece everywhere, when i was a kid my grandpaa used to turn on the radio so we can listen to the 1001 nights tales just before i sleep and the sound of the violin was on the background and it just keeps looping in my head, its beautiful, i could really imagine that i'm the prince shehraiar and the princess shehrazad is telling me all of thoes stories, sindbad alladin and the 40 thieves man thoes were some good times...

[bennosimpson]

I was a kid, when I listen to a fairy-tale LP, and this solo violin was the background music to the story. I always cried, when hearing this sad,sad violin. I always thought, this must be a very sad woman or girl, who cried about a lost love or something else. It took years, I was a grown-up, till I found the name and composer of this wonderful piece of music. It still gives me goose pimples all over my body. They play it really great Love it so much!

[zvokl]

great 1st violin!!!! beautiful :)

[whizkid7562]

Just beautiful music by this Youth Orch.

I was amazed by the very talented violinist

who was the soloist in this performance.

She was absolutely perfect! Bravo.

[XaviersSecretary]

What does the creator of this video mean when he states in text: From the second movement, or From the Third movement, or from the Fourth movement?

What movements is he mentioning? What are movements?

[thefunnythingis]

Movements are "songs" (for a lack of a better term)

Sheherezade is 4 movements long and the creator of this video cut and pasted from each movement (He specifically is featuring the Sheherezade Violin solo's of each movement which is a common theme in all 4 movements)....

[XaviersSecretary]

(reply to thefunnythingis)

Thank you very very much. Your answer gave a load of details that helped me understand ochestras a great deal more.

[123temoblanc]

It's amazing how a single violin can touch my soul and delight ... thanks so much .. en castellano , es fantastico como el sonido de un viloin puede tocar mi alma y deleitarla

[sh3mg]

اكثر من رائع

[HIMspaz]

CELLI !!!

[redaoulad]

[thairsciel]

Superbe musique de réharmonisation Yin-Yang

[bigbosscqc]

[Eftelya05]

This is no music. This is life. The sound of a story, of a fairy tale!

Thank you Rimsky Korsakov. Thank you so much for giving us such a reflection!

[skycladeskimo]

aint life good

[tinymavy]

This music is unlike any other. So powerful, yet sensitive and other-worldly.

[ChaChing86]

[jimmyv113]

[salomonvargas89]

Great Hjortswang!!

You're amazing!

I love your violin solo!

It's one of the best performances I ever have seen.

I really fell in love of you!!:P

¡Simplemente maravilloso! ¡Me transporta a otro mundo y me enamora!

Cheers from México!

[joseff1994]

im a huge fan of wind instruments, but theres just a little something more you can get out of listening to a group of great string instruments, i guess the longevity of a good tone or somthing. All in all, both a marvelous and beautifully gracious performance.

[mouselg]

This is amazing

!!!!

[Almoheeb1]

Great job Hjortswang , this music lets u fly in the sky as if u are a bird. great romantic one.

thanks for sharing

[momentofserenity]

It's one thing to hear it, but it's another to see how all the musical instruments and components come together with your eyes.

Overall, it was really well done.

[InternationalWorship]

thanks for posting.

[clear047]

This is great for a youth orchestra, but the horns could use some work. Sounded like they didn't quite have the stamina with the chips at the end. Maybe this was a later piece in a series, though.

[ivandivandakor]

wonderful

[iluv2write]

she's pretty good. when i watched the Ljubljana Orchestra play it, it was much better, but it is great for a youth orchestra!

[borraw]

amazing...

[Kesepinpart2]

That violin movement is timeless and awe-inspiring, it sent me on a soul searching spree...it is SO beautiful!

[Gershwin234]

Where can I find all four movements in their entirety?

[waynespeers]

it's a long piece - not on youtube... you might like to invest in a cd.

This is certainly a wonderful and moving work.

[blahtkhip]

Great perfomance.

[omgitsnaruto]

Very Good!! Very intense!

[rorenroren]
