Ennio Morricone - "The Ecstasy of Gold", live in Warsaw, PL

[jordannw2010]

Metallica play it better.

[sk8poika]

@jordannw2010 what the fuck dude? you really can't compare those two..

[jordannw2010]

@sk8poika you really can. metallica are better, this one is crappy. done.

[Wolfsky9]

I would love to hear the magnificent Jackie Evancho do this. A masterpiece, & with her voice--can you imagine?? Wolfsky9

[NICOSIADON]

oh my God!!!!!!!! Am just dumbstruck!!!! and tears of joy rolled over as the composition came to an end!!!!!!!!! Bravo Ennio!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe that he has not been bestowed even an academy award!!!!!!!!!!!!! probabbly the judges were all Dumbos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and A Million Thanks for uploading this Version Sir......

[joesoap81]

20 people need to turn up their fuckin hearing aids.

[mrwumpus]

Her voice could level an entire mall full of plastic barbie women and leave only an abundance of overpriced shoes.

[Vcatsrini]

This is my favorite version!

[killamar5]

This song is in a sweet vid called plan b one year united check it out

[sk8poika]

@killamar5 yep dude, it had a nice remix from this song. the skating in that vid was awesome too!

[Yallniggasbetrollin]

Who the fuck could dislike this?

[RadioKillaZ]

@Yallniggasbetrollin lol some people, this pure quality

[bapear1]

19 people don't know what the word "amazing" means

[darkstateirc]

@bapear1 More like 19 people are tone deaf and don't know the great film this comes from and the even greater composer who wrote this masterpiece...Hey blondie this is great.

[kokomoki1]

if you hear the song you feel like the new chuck norris

[ujuststolemylife]

1:38... and here they arise - MetallicA! :D

[twasmuthguitarplayer]

This is quite nerdy, but what key is this music in? Id like to work out my own version of this on guitar and it would be much easier if i knew what key it was in :)

[projectmedia]

@twasmuthguitarplayer  the first chord is Aminor I believe... have fun :)

[twasmuthguitarplayer]

@projectmedia Cheers dude :)

[whitetower67]

Orietta is hot.

[danny2mil]

Majestic!!!!

[mrich1976]

I always wondered if those books that the choir used just had "Aaahhhhhhhh" or "Oooohhhhh" written in them...that'd be funny. But this piece of music is EPIC.

[IvoryTongue26]

@mrich1976 Hahahaha :) i think the more important part would be the NOTES, not the words. haha.

[sephjnr]

Tuco Ramirez has 19 alts, and $100,000 with his hands tied behind his back.

[Rain0123]

This woman does it best

[Cllstnvlnst329]

SO good. It's really amazing to get to see Ennio conduct his own music; it always feels fresh. Every video in which he's conducting, the tempo is slightly varied and it always feels epic. A lot of music only sounds as 'epic' within a specific range of tempo marking, but no matter how fast or slow you take this song it gives you shudders!

[jawb0nes]

In this world there’s two kinds of people; Those with loaded guns and those who dig. Apparently 18 people have to dig.

[felixmul]

@jawb0nes Best comment in youtube history right there.

[DCostav]

Genius

[sasander7]

Ok, for what it's worth, despite some of the comments to the contrary, this vocalist, Orietta sings the part much, much truer to to the original singer, Edda Dell'Orso's original on the movie soundtrack. While the singer that everybody comments so nicely about ( usually seen in the red dress) does not provide the nuances needed on the fast sticcato parts. She sings it too fast and not entirely accurate. Compare both Susanna's and Orietta's to the original.Good job, Orietta. Bravo!!

[MrSwanley]

@sasander7 I completely agree. I've just tripped over this version and I must say that Orietta gets much closer to Edda Dell'Orso's vocal range and delivery than other versions I've seen.

[captainsunder009]

@sasander7 Both are epic in my opinion. Music when done well, you don't care if it varies a bit. Great vocalists can make a piece their own.

[Teladian2]

So glad they could get a shot of the English Horn Player playing his solo at the beginning, You know not until the last like 5 seconds that he was playing. WTG production team. Awesome music. Bad Video

[JeroenPoll]

Metallica! \m/

[elkin1977]

Yes, the red dress girl is much better....

[dontpokethenear]

its tuco

[cata0katu]

mmm.. search this: Ennio Morricone - a - El Extasis del Oro . a woman with a red dress.. it's much better! ;D

[xenoz845]

lol she is looking her sheets for the lyrics

[luap42]

@xenoz845 No dummy, she is reading her notes and following the timing.

[teidenzero]

@xenoz845 LOL

[TheShootkiller95]

Wonderfull !

[WizardNumberNext]

Polish teli - quality of record is very, but not because of person who recorded it, but, because of polish teli.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

el magnifico!! absolute pure genius from the master, Ennio Morricone. what is the name of the soprano singing the main part?

[gazb71]

scuddman is spot on

[gavinwph]

Hades may be the ruler of the underworld, Posidon may be the ruler of the seas, Zeus may be the ruler of the heavens....But, Ennio Morricone is the ruler of the universe!

[alevd14]

metallica version is SO better

[LuisRamirez666]

@alevd14 Fail. this is the original version, and obviously, a cover CANNOT be better than the original

[ShdowSora]

@LuisRamirez666

First of all, he never said he didn't think this was the original version.

Second, he was stating his opinion.

Third, a cover is a tribute to the original. It's for the listener to determine if they personally think it's better than the original.

So, I've come to the conclusion that you and the person above you are both idiots.

I personally think this one's more melodic, but I like the heaviness in the cover.

[LuisRamirez666]

@ShdowSora he said "VERSION" not "cover" like he should have said.

i know he was stating his opinion (did i told him he could start his?)

a cover, can never, never, never be better than the original. so learn something about covers and stuff.

btw, roy, im just stating my opinion ok?

[ShdowSora]

@LuisRamirez666 That's somewhere where we differ. I believe it's the listeners choice if they feel a cover is better than an original.

But that's just my opinion.

[23heyjoe]

@LuisRamirez666 "Hurt" by Johny Cash and "All along the watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix are better than original versions. Trent Reznor said it, that "Hurt" is no longer his after he heard Cash's version.

[juanriff]

@alevd14 Idiot....epic fail!

[CBR1100xx31]

A part of that is gonna go in my Windows XP when i turn On my computer, God they are good !!!!!!!!! Gives me goosebumps .

[Ragnar6000]

By far the best live version on here,...and what a Hot MILF she is,

[scuddmann]

does anyone else find so unbelivably fantastic that a group of people, ie the orchestra above, can come togeather in cohesion and produce something so perfect that it almost seems that we have no right to be able to do so???? I just have no idea how these people do this, and I'm a sound engineer by trade!???

[scuddmann]

whow!!!!

[nicto87]

This song was played on the 7th day, when God rested and gazed upon his creation.

[neilzep]

@nicto87 Well said.

[videostop66]

Ennio Morricone ha rappresentato con onore e rispetto l'Italia in tutto il mondo ......peccato che l'Italia non lo meriti

[BranberryMuffin]

Everytime I win, or do something really good in life this song starts playing at max volume. For real!!

[ohorok2]

like! Like! LIKE!!!

[jokeshankland]

couldnt lace susanna rigacci's corset far better singer and looker

[Rastametalpunkman]

metallica!!!!!

ennio morricone!!!!!!!

best of both worlds!

[ryan1977ify]

anyone who gets within twenty feet of chuck norris hears this ringing in their ears!!!!!!!!!!

[Wolfsky9]

A Masterpiece--As Mr Sinatra once said, " You can wait around & hope, but you'll not ever see--or hear--the likes of this again".  Wolfsky9

[jhon213236]

And who says my genration doesnt listen to good music. Im living fucking proof.

[huguiloso]

[UncleZipper]

@Rocklegend20

They made the camera from heartless critics

[OhMyGolem]

@Rocklegend20 The lense was made of epicproof glass XD

[webbsfan1]

[THAToneGAMER1]

[slaskemann]

Absolutly amazing!! And the choir, together with the whole symphoni!!

Just amazing!!

[megashuttlecock]

CRACKWOOD , CRACKWOOD , CRACKWOOD..... AHAAHAHHA..HAHAH A H

[miikezzazz]

Pos conocedor de la instrumental no soy, vine a dar con este video por Metallica, jajaja.. me siento tan ignorante :O suena bien la pieza.

[MrSeanodwyer140]

Talk about mad bitch s shit, inmagine been inbed with her she would blow your ears out when she climaxed,.-sic. - thee hheee heehhee snigger nigger.

[jtflyer]

Orietta Manente and Susanna Rigacci seem to have significantly different renditions of this piece. Orietta's version here seems more similar to the original recording; Susanna sings it with such passion. Both are spectacular.

[67Map]

Great Song, great Performers and a very great Composer

[megashuttlecock]

check out CRACKWOOD. inspired by the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Ennio Morricones profound music. how lucky we all are.

[slaskemann]

Just beautifule!! And think of "Tuco",... He is still alive.....

[jpXoX0]

beautiful song. emotion

[NW7227711]

He really should be mentioned with Beethoven,Mozart and Bach. He's the best composer I know. He has written over 500(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) film soubdtracks. I think I heard the half of them and they are all great. I think that any person has heard something from Ennio Morricone, but the most don't know that the music they heard is from him.

[munkisbeprotis]

The epicness of this song is OVER 9000!!!!

[HormoRock75]

proud to be italian, thank you Mr. Ennio Morricone.

[akiratchi]

magnifique 

[nabadraadshe]

"Two thousand Dollars and some in gold, that is tudy sum, but when I am paid I always follow my job through, you know that!!!

[YOUrmypal68]

Grazie Signore Morricone!

[Deepdesert]

Bravo!

[zago18585]

James sings it better :P:P:P:P

[juanparty]

i'm looking for the owner of that horse. he's tall, blonde, smokes a cigar, and he's a pig!

[1daygon]

@juanparty h-he is in room 4.

[nabadraadshe]

@juanparty Leave him alone he doesnt who rides every horse!!! You stay quite old hen!!

[snakeeyesization]

Superb..........simply superb.

[RadioKillaZ]

truely amazing music, i salute you.

[ogamike]

That's a MILF right there .... Magnificent !

[thevideotutorialman]

@ogamike O_____O

[neilo86]

You see in this world there's two kinds of people my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig.........You dig.

[ogamike]

@neilo86 ....lmao ... you got that right bro. I think you should dig...lol

[RadioKillaZ]

@neilo86 best movie quote ever to go with the best movie theme ever.. Truely epic

[beaversi69]

Beautiful !

[Wolfsky9]

The finest version, ever--the female lead is simply magnificent--easy on the ears, but does she gut up there! Simply Epic, & Gorgeous. Wolfsky9

[alexriderproductions]

I really, REALLY wanna see this performed live. Simply amazing.

[GScadet]

Chills. Every time.

[videoXxchickk]

i loooove this song. everything was great except i feel that the tempo was a liiiittle bit to fast at the begining

[Wolfsky9]

Simply gorgeous. Of all the version on You Tube, this is hands-down, the best. That singer is simply fantastic. Epic.  Wolfsky9

[neilzep]

A work of Genius...the Heavens have opened up and released a gift.

[Daemon444]

nice interpertation,...

listen to this to George Enescu - "Romanian Rhapsody" - Sergiu Celibidache

is excelent although is old...

[esset1994]

This gives goose bumps just by listening through YouTube so I cant imagine what its like listening live. Really beautiful.

[ohmygiddygawsh]

i wish this was the soundtrack to my life, because that would mean my life would be fucking AWSOME

[thomasrussell1803]

@ohmygiddygawsh

I love, love, love this comment!

[eddykaneval]

@ohmygiddygawsh the best youtube comment i have seen. fuck you made me crack up laughing

[behrouz1989]

@ohmygiddygawsh best comment i have ever seen

[shtookatz]

I'd love to hear this live, YT does not do it justice.

[MrSupercons]

This is just pure manna from heaven for the ears, shivers on my spine everytime I listen to this, the man is one the greats

[brsrkr323]

isnt the piano and that horn a bit fast ?

[iinteemtaamee]

Perfect! ... 

[MrFunnyEd]

they must be nervous cause its playing just that little bit faster than the original

[johnmik67]

@MrFunnyEd I agree with you! It's just a bit too fast!

[zeroinfinit]

@johnmik67 Given that Morricone composed the piece AND is conducting, he can do whatever hell he pleases.

[moffettman02]

@MrFunnyEd these guys are proffesionals so they dont get nervous lol the conductor must have wanted to take it a little quicker.

[jorgeracingclub2009]

probablemente las peliculas de sergio leone no serian lo mismo si estas canciones, son geniales, el mejor musico del siglo XX y por lo visto tmb del siglo XXI

[greatwhitepolarbear]

At 1:54, Orietta Manente is angelic. This music is sublime.

[greatwhitepolarbear]

At 1:54, Orietta Manette is angelic . This music is sublime.

[montraix]

nedmarzxl, I'm really not quite sure how to put this, but you are obviously seriously misinformed. Ennio Morricone composed the entire "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly soundtrack" himself, including the main theme that everyone is familiar with and the piece "The Ecstasy of Gold" which is it's own separate music composition, not borrowing any passages from the main theme. Ennio composed more than 400 soundtracks, so yes, he is a prolific writer and a genius composer. Your facts were incorrect sir

[alexaadap]

i'll definitely attend if he ever comes to Southern Cal.

[ayudantedelaparca]

simplemente el mejor

[RobertJMerkinsmith]

How I wish I could have been there. :)

[idic5]

WHEN was this performance?

[crogeek]

Outlaws PC game - good old nostalgia

[TiggaTimm]

Pure musical magic!!!

[Hightower187]

i think i would get a boner listening to this live lol.

[DjCroatia1993]

Call me an idiot. I listen to this before I football game.

[ebtricks]

@DjCroatia1993 Your wasting your time playing a sport that will get you nowhere, idiot.

[jeffhardyfan52]

fuck i love this speicaly before a meatllica concert

[idic5]

when did this performance takeplace?

[northshorefund]

@idic5 poland

[MrSadButTrue13]

Beautiful :)

[GuitarSpeller]

The video of Morricone's Ectasy of Gold with the best sound quality is no longer on YouTube. Too bad since it was bone chilling amazingly fantastic.

[nicooleto]

increible performance!! absolutamente genial!!

[n8tureboy]

In a word.....EPIC!

[Garycubfan]

Outstanding. Magnificent. This song would have worth the price of admission alone.

[goworun1974]

красавец ! один саундтрэк из "профессионала"

чего стоит ! КОМПОЗИТОР !!!

[xsolysx]

Metallicaaaa!!

[chuckieboy1988]

This track was way ahead of its time

[sailorpsycho]

It is me or this version got twice the tempo of the original?

It's too fast!!

[matii289]

you are a dickhead

[mrocznyandrzej]

got pwn3d by awesomes of this song

This is just MASTERPIECE OF MUSIC!

Polish Radio Orchestra + Choir + Orietta Manente = Pure Win

[bjornnac77]

God send his son enrico to earth and said GIVE THEM MUSIC !!!!!!!!

[bjornnac77]

god send his son enrico to earth and telled him . GIVE THEM MUSIC

[montraix]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, masterfully performed.

It is time that people realize Ennio needs to be mentioned with Beethoven, Mozart and Bach, not Diane Warren or any of the people writing trash pop songs that are used in movie soundtracks.

[xtalion]

i agree

[AerialRcoet]

@montraix i am with you hearing this makes me feel something

[Tyepaz]

@montraix One of the best movies ever created used this song. The Good The Bad And The Ugly. A must see if you havent already seen it. This music mixed with it is amazing.

[fly6622]

@Tyepaz amazing and hilarious movie. amazing and beautiful song

[TheAmericanRifleman]

@montraix

Well said.

[kasuni2009]

@montraix amen! :) I completely agree with you. Ennio's works are so amazing it makes me hit another level of consciousness.

[TOHOFIEND54]

@nedmarzxl Funny, 'cause he wrote the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly theme song. He wrote the music for the entire Dollars trilogy.

[TheJalabala]

@montraix That's so fucking true!!

I love this song!!!

[super88cloud]

@montraix : put there john williams,nobuo uematsu,yoko kanno and we are fine there

[Kuntipac]

@montraix and John Williams

[gazb71]

spine tingglinig

[The4thGuy]

Ennio Morricone kicks John Williams's ass.

[xxslipknot1241]

HOLY!!!! SHIT this sound like spider man..... LOL!!

[SanDumas88]

FROM COLOMBIA!

YOU ARE THE MASTER!

[megavolt99]

This reminds me of the game TERRANIGMA for SNES!!!!!!!!!

[RoseMarieRaccioppi]

And To Leo... Thank you...Extraordinaire!!

The beauty of tone

The brilliance of hue

Be the pulsing of heart

Within the depths of you

Gold this moment known
