Sawallisch Conducts Zampa Overture (Herold)

[nandrosa]

I heard this on KING FM some weeks back and am very grateful for the chance to listen again! Very lively!

[gallespaul]

I LOVE this piece. Playing it with my orchestra in school, i'm 1st chair bass, and it's soooo fun :D

Great music! Great performance! A very special favorite of mine.

[MrKurtisp23]

[keeko761]

@MrKurtisp23 it was in japan

[ReallyrRandomVideos]

[clarinet3131]

Love the clarinet solo! :) We're playing this in symphony orchestra, and it's amazingly fun!

al principio se le volo la batuta ajaj

[analogyman]

Very nice! This has been a favorite of mine for over 55 years. Great tempo! Thank you for posting this.

This is also one of my favorite transcriptions for symphonic band. I have conducted this piece many times,. It has never failed to excite players and audience alike. It's' what we call a 'War Horse" in the business. When I taught HS, it was on my revolving literature list. This assured that every student I taught got to play it. It's fun, technically challenging and most importantly teaches LYRICISM!! The final element so important , and yet seemingly ignored by so many contemporary composers.

[Music1353]

the players show no emotion but play so good! they don't hardly move!!

[WPGS25041941]

Amongst my favourite pieces of classical music.

[WPGS25041941]

A fine piece of orchestral music that deserves to be heard much more often.

[FreethinkerMr56]

Excellent performance!

[khl1975]

very nice music, but am i the only one who sense rossini here :)

[WJCairns]

@khl1975 : Aye, so what? It's still a damn good piece of music! Incidentally, I have never understood the snobbish disdain in which this overture has been held by some members of the critical establishment.

[khl1975]

@WJCairns

quiet the contrary. I used this as a compliment. I love Rossini and his overtures. Esp. the overture the italian in Algiers, la gazza ladra, semiramide etc.

First violin part at 6:01 to 7:00 kicks my butt >.>

[ipmoic]

I notice with some humor that listeners like myself cringe when someone calls this, or any other orchestral piece, a "song"!

"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is a song--this is an overture (or a symphony, concerto, tone poem--well, you know what I mean.

[theshow2k]

Where has his baton gone at 0:34 ? :-D

[jeniusjulia]

haha so true

aw i love this piece i used to play this in bhyp and our conductor was always snapping batons on the edge of his stand in concerts.

[XrandomXemoXkidX]

@theshow2k He must have dropped it.

[TheAznmofo]

@theshow2k

if you look closely.. he stuffs it inside his.. jacket

[1253sokiwi]

@theshow2k He put the the baton into the inside pocket of his tuxedo.

[theshow2k]

@1253sokiwi I can't help it... I think he dropped it! It's because he has the baton in his right hand and with his left hand he is reaching into his tuxedo. Why do that? (It doesn't look like he has switched hands before.) Normally I would put my baton aside with the hand I'm holding it in.

[1253sokiwi]

@theshow2k The only reason I can think of is there is only one pocket inside his tuxedo, so he needs to switch the baton to his left hand.

However, it is likely that he dropped it. I have really seen a conductor went too excited and the baton "flied" into the cellos!

[cajunstix]

i agree, this is an alright version of the piece. the orchestra im in is playing this piece for a gig in 2 weeks, and the claranet player in his solos sounds a little weak...

[kontrabass20]

Very good!!!! Bravo!

[denisej242]

i love this piece!!! it's one of my favorites to play :D

[srg2457]

Great performance. Thinnest brass section I've ever seen in a pro orchestra, btw.

[billyguns2]

I love this overture and I wish someone would produce the opera in my lifetime; I think it's about a pirate. Terrific performance here!

[Goethefemme]

Sounds like the Bernstein version I carry around in my head, but more "orientalism" in some of the percussion. Has anyone ever done a ballet to it?

[mountainrover]

I like this interpretation more than the other I found on here. I like it very much. Thanks a lot for the posting.

[65attila]

@mountainrover

This is an excellent performance BUT I prefer the one conducted. by Toscanini

[HOPSING08]

doing a report on this song...interesting

[Tolstoy111]

This isn't a song.

[blazinjocie]
