[thesixthsystemalbum]

If you used to listen to pop or techno and you hear a metal music, you realise that pop and techno isnt music, and when you hear Ouverture you realise that metal isnt music.... But this!

[AREyouENOUGHstupid]

@thesixthsystemalbum Ouverture is not a type of music, it is the instrumental composition. Though, i agree with you!

[trumpeter93]

@thesixthsystemalbum metal is music.... this is just your opinion of better music. Pop is shit

[Doinurmom270]

Ther conductors hair is amazing!XD

[roory20]

The conductor is such a boss :D

[samymay]

Ops ! Claps on the wrong time on 2:27 !

[matao87]

@samymay Proper etiquette is to wait for the conductor to rest or in some cases turn around before applause.

[Kozmi18]

My gawd. I thought after Karajan and Gustavo Dudamel there is noone else left. But this gentleman is the cake.

[43mrssimba]

WOW! BRILLIANT!!!!!

[TheWeisswarrior]

James Levine -- Perlman

[officialcalummenzies]

1.24 onwards gave me goosebumps...

[AndreONEz]

I have been looking for this for ages. Also, it even was my phone ring tone lol

[DragozaurianX]

Great music!!

[truvianni]

James Levine is without a doubt one of the greatest condutors of all time

[hahaforlife1]

14 ppl were rejected by Carmen. Sacre bleu.

[VastHobbes]

All hail the hypno- fro . . . .

[tripwire1972]

whoa!!! love this! thunderous and lively just the kind of music to start my day.

[bwgproductions]

Having performed in three operas now, I can honestly say that there is nothing more exciting for a cast standing backstage waiting to go on than hearing this overture (especially since so many rehearsals are with just the piano). Oh, and the pacing on this performance is perfection. :-)

[ph1204]

@bwgproductions I have had exactly the same observation!  I can remember doing Carmen with NC Opera about 10 years ago, and precisely your point: I was set on stage with the curtain down, the house dark, and then heard this overture start. It's tremendously exciting - I don't know why - it's not the best opera overture (Die Valkyrie has a pretty good one), but it's just spine tingling if you're behind the curtain in the dark.

[CreativeCommonsSV]

What the hell is his hurry? Sounds more like a military march. Sousa anyone?

[kalita9999]

Que puta madre...A Masterpiece! Oh Dio...adesso posso morire!

[steciekawska]

Dziekuje!!! Pozdrawiam -Czesto slucham!Piekne

[Violinmaster2]

Conductor looks like Perlman.

[43mrssimba]

WOW!!! One word..... PHENOMENAL!!

[georget467]

Great performance. My thoughts go out to James Levine on reading of his fall today

[siljoma]

AMAZING OVERTURE, the best witch i listen until today, v/ gay plenty of life and a Fantastic Maestro. Greetings from John/Portugal

[ventudeca]

I wonder what the Maestro could have done as job other than been an orchestra's Maestro with his hair! :)

[parkin1000]

OMG!!!That is passion,i love this jewell.....:p

[fabiolamanon]

[NoodlesSF]

[MrFerminleon]

(I appreciate Wikipaedia's contributions in the descriptions on previous comment)

[MyNameIsBenneth]

@MrFerminleon Haha! I've read comment you posted on one of Edvard Grieg's videos (he was V-Logging). What a coincidence.

[truvianni]

Levine is my all time favorite conductor I even mentioned him in my book

New York's Opera Society

[TheSPEEZY99]

[schablone35]

[lexisgivenchy]

Excelente---Y-----Nada, Mas.

[hyeinla]

I can't believe there are actually dislikes for this classiC!!!! Magnificent!!!!

[MrFerminleon]

Carmen is a French opéra comique by Georges Bizet. The libretto is by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on the novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée, first published in 1845,[1] itself possibly influenced by the narrative poem The Gypsies (1824) by Alexander Pushkin.[2] Mérimée had read the poem in Russian by 1840 and translated it into French in 1852.[3]

[cponursahin]

..My..Lullaby..

[EnigmaKalion]

Gives me the shivers! Great execution!

[eclair9]

It just kills me how the conductor barely gives the orchestra time to be seated before going into this performance. And it's even more amazing how the orchestra doesn't miss a beat! Wonderful performance!!!! BRAVO!!!!

[SuperDubol]

Hehe Zabiłem zgagę cóż to dla mnie jest ! Życie bez zgagi...

[Neonalfax]

What piece is the one after this? 'which started'

[mafirencia]

@Neonalfax - The piece immediately after the Ouverture is "Sur la place chacun passe" followed by "Regardez donc cette petite" Hope this what you wanted to know

[mayfer481]

I'm F1 fan for more than 11 years so I'm only interested until 2:17!

[oldboyinoc]

Levine is one of my all-time favorite conductors. He has a straight-forward, no-nonsense, but deeply emotional approach and is a superb technician who brings out stunning precision and power from whatever ensemble he's leading. This is a perfect example.

[daphnisible]

Le plus bel opéra du monde !!!

[zagorka00]

10 dislikes? what's wrong with that people? are they deaf? i don't want to insult anbody but.....ok, anyway, this is great.....this is music.
