Thankyou

[hdktl]

It is only the 3rd. best orchestra in the world: 1st. Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam, 2nd. Berlin Philharmonic orchestra and 3rd. Vienna Philharmonic orchestra

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

@hdktl who says this? Some sort of newspaper? I don't care what newspapers say. Though I really like berlin and Amsterdam's Orchestras, Vienna Philharmonic has been, is and will always be my favorite orchestra in the whole world. I love the way these people are in reality, I love the way how they manage to create such great sound, combined with world's top Concert Hall regarding acoustics.

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

@FilmComposeRaHoppe "Centre College announced on Tuesday, May 25, that the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, widely regarded as --the most important orchestra in the world-- will perform at its Norton Center for the Arts on September 27. Other than in Danville, the Vienna Philharmonic will perform only in New York City at Carnegie Hall during their visit to America. Tickets for the New York performances have been sold out for many months."

[retardinho]

@hdktl Oh? When did they play against each other and what was the result?

[hdktl]

@retardinho

[hdktl]

@retardinho It was a poll, initiated by "Gramophone", the leading British magazine on classical music, in 2007 or 2008 among experts in classical music in 15 or 16 different European countries

[retardinho]

@hdktl Polls are usually stasticial collections of subjective opinions. Not to mention if you say it was in 2007 and 2008 this was quite a while ago...

[thinker93]

great sound quality!

[jayamohanchristella]

Thanks for this ever green

[MySpring75]

Fantastic thank you, this is beautiful. I have no words . I live in Belgrade the town with two big rivers and one of them is Danube. We are so happy to have them. Come to Belgrade and you can see how nice it is

[musicisreligion100]

best version i have heard.

[grrrrr3x6]

Pretre is beautiful, but, for definitive, try Erich Kleiber

Even for me, a declared Carlos Kleiber fan, his father, Erich Kleiber, as stoic as me may look (most did in those days), he has it down at a perfection, unmatched.

[chechnya]

@TranceBusiness Wow.. what a faggot.

[DetroitLove4U]

This is what one would hear as he or she enters the singularity point of black hole.

[shishirth]

Perhaps no other orchestra manages as graceful a performance of the Strauss Waltzes ...!

[chowdhryanil]

fantastic

[darioaugusto]

the part from 6:06 is simply beautiful... and this version is specially funny and enjoyable.. thanks for posting

[TheMoonchildiva]

WOW, how very enjoyable !! thanks

btw, musical TASTE means liking ALL MUSIC, if it's good music. Ozzy is.

[TheMoonchildiva]

WOW, how very enjoyable !! thanks

[smittie1989]

@Omhyr This is very good music, but the music of ozzy osbourne also =)

[MsTheconductor]

AWESOME

[BridgetteVedant]

It sounds almost exactly like a CD, not like from a live performance

[TheYAK54]

M. Georges PRETRE,

Vous êtes un grand Monsieur ! You're a great guy !

The Blue Danube was already Beautiful, but with you, it's Fantastic !

Thank you, et Vive la France !

Phil

[AIphaDog]

@Omhyr I like Ozzy but this is really nice aswell

[palmpowrawks]

my ears and my headphones just made a baby.

[AllenJBlodgettJrmota]

[mavricksone]

[blazy12345]

[razvanlaurm]

[1108jake]

[roymustang231211997]

This is the best orchestra of the world, and the director is fantastic, I look him to learn the direction of the orchestra, infact I now am learning to conservatory

[123alpes]

love this song could listin to it all day. Very good performance and very nice photos!!

[ERICARTMAN92]

It's whole different song without a montage of something violent or vulgar to go along with it. Damn I'm Classy!

[medibm79]

@etbella3 Someone's cocky!

[etbella3]

Everytime I listen to this melody, I get a little wiser. And a LOT more confident I am always right.

[BHAlien1979]

u jebote... od ovog moze da se rikne...

[19cerni91]

@BHAlien1979 aaaaaaaaahahahhahaha care ;)

[BHAlien1979]

@19cerni91

:-)

[05alexandrou]

Dude, where the fuck is Romania? I mean the most important part of The Danube! That is just mean!

[mexessful]

Ce n`est pas possible.Le Danube traverse la Roumanie 1075 km et vous n`avezpas specifie cette chose.La Roumanie est le plus beau pays d`Europe,et le Dnube a choisi de rencontrar la Mer sur la terre roumaine.

Honte pour vous!

[smoofssmoofs]

@mexessful yes.. Romania is the most beautiful country in Europe.. it`s only flaw is that it`s inhabited. :))

[etbella3]

@smoofssmoofs You need to work for the FBI.

[smoofssmoofs]

@etbella3 Actually.. they used to work for me :)))

[sasecorzi]

you missed Romania... the country through where the river is melting with the Black Sea

[rossocorsa4]

Why is not there SLOVAKIA???????? Bratislava, Komrano, Sturovo????

[Happytearzz]

Take my breath away! Wonderful!

[dhvie]

@ jazzflutist: the venue is the Goldener Saal at the Wiener Musikverein. It's a 'purpose built' concert hall, approx 150 years old.

Kind regards from Vienna

[shamrockfield]

Prachtig ook met die beelden erbij !!!

[jazzflutist]

Anyone know where the concert was actually held. Is it the Habsburg Palace (or, one of them)? Great performance. Now, over to Andre Rieu for some real music! (just joking).

[randomisnotgood]

lmfao...1 person dislikes this. 1 person! I wonder who that is.

[An0niempje]

@randomisnotgood Probably a jealous Justin Bieber or something. By the way, there have been 2 of those morons already. I don't even want to know who the other is...

[leonidos30]

beautiful!!

[DAMISUL]

Pitty that the Danube Delta was not in the movie ...

[Bluzme]

@DAMISUL isn't that it right there at the end ? at around 6:50 that sure looks like the delta to me

[mayubun]

amazing orchestra....

[mortalfrog0815]

just for comparison, the andre rieu version got 1.448.233 views... life is unfair, and people are stupid! how could anyone like rieu better, i hate this smirking douche who has no musical of any kind! it makes me sad...

[quarpulsar]

@mortalfrog0815 Claro, claro, concuerdo en que cómo les puede gustar mas Rieu, si la única forma en la que puede llamar la atención de con sus performance, George Prete es mucho mejor, mucho mucho mejor

[mortalfrog0815]

@quarpulsar i'm sorry! i don't speak spanish...

[quarpulsar]

@quarpulsar Excuse me, jaja, but I can´t write in English very well, for that reason I commented in Spanish, What I commented:

I agree in how could everyone like Rieu better. Rieu is just performance, just performanse. For me, Georges Prete is better.

Excuse me, if made a mistake in my comment.

[violinmusicfan]

great orchestra

[astikel]

The Danube was blue??? It's green as grass :))

[fjgonzaf]

Pretre nos ha regalado dos conciertos de año nuevos magníficos. Esta versión del Danubio Azul es perfecta. Con un tempo adecuado. Sin pasarse de "dulce" pero llena de intensidad.Difícil será encontrar otra versión como esta. Felicidades.

[andreeab100]

the best...:)

[469emanuel]

very good performance

[razvanlaurm]

Danube is very beautiful between Belgrad - Moldova Noua - Drobeta Turnu and near Danube Delta.

[MJfan4ever123456]

My granny like to liten music like this.Thanks for uploading.

[rog5301]

Timeless

[frswiss]

thanks for uploading!!!!!perfect

[BoyJewish]

We make money off rap. We also enocurage interracial marriages, but with the christians, not our daughters.

[sandradeeism]

yay! they have women in their orchestra now. and they don't even sound awful! Guess women CAN play instruments too...

[Alexander02885]

Known to history as one of the long-standing frontiers of the Roman Empire, the river flows through—or forms a part of the borders of—ten countries: Germany (7.5%), Austria (10.3%), Slovakia (5.8%), Hungary (11.7%), Croatia (4.5%), Serbia (10.3%), Romania (28.9%), Bulgaria (5.2%), Moldova (0,017%), and Ukraine (3.8%).[citation needed].....you cut 28,9% from DANUBE.....learn some geography

[guitarcachovaldes]

Y preffer 2005 version conducted by Lorin Maazel It was perfect, great

[daniprecupeanu]

Why did you cut the part with ROMANIA ??!?!?!??!

[mishugrishu]

Because he is stupid...

[adiprecu]

Shame on you! That's all I can say about you!

[CrisMSFerreira]

I have bought the DVD directly to the Vienna Orchestra - :-) I watch New Year's Concert every year. This time I was moved by the old age of Mr George Prête, perhaps because I care about older people in my country since I lost my father. Europe needs to treat much better his senior population for all they have given us and help them to grow old with life quality! Wonderful Blue Danube :-)

[MrJorgeivan96]

I am agree was,is and will be the best orchestra in the world, Europe is culture..,

[gabi22541]

pretre the best off , after karayan

[southwestguy223]

You mean Karajan?

[PhantomsRose27]

Magnificent !!! Endless Stars ****************

[truelynative1]

I read the novel"The Godwins"and in it it describes this song...it really is so beautiful!!!words cannot begin to describe how beautifully eloquent this masterpiece was composed...

[manangel1992]

E' incredibile come nemmeno l'Arte e la Musica possano sollevare gli animi dei meschini...

[dariuscg]

Look serbfree, this music (The Blue Danube by Strauss) waited for more than 100 years for you to discover it. you blame that on the Jews?

[woosa08]

Das, meine Damen und Herren, ist österreichische Hochkultur!

[BlindBuyer]

Opinions boyjewish, opinions ...

[BoyJewish]

Chicago has a better orchestra, but these schmucks are not bad.

[inchargeof88]

[gstggstg]

Well, yes, a good performance, a very good one, an excellent one but the Austrian need to work on their geography because, yes, there is another country on th Danube and it is called Bulgaria.

[papadecamille]

There are far more (10, I believe) than they named (from memory, 4). It was just a selection.

[991957]

I would like to dance it with Martina : )

Franco.

[gnechifor]
