Pictures at an Exhibition-Great Gate of Kiev

[GeneralKlang]

Dat Flutist...

[861Sailor]

I was looking for the ambidextrous bass drummer; there he was, seated between the BD and the gong, playing both in the finale. I wonder if he got double pay? V. noticeable timelag between video and audio.

[thruthe4thdimension]

2:14 lol audio lag

[whitetiger123100]

I'm not impressed...

[rutabaga42]

Yeah! Go trombones!

[pbj4toast]

How often do you see a contra-bassoon in action. I was waiting for a close up of it.

[stndrds79]

strange to see asian conduct a western orchestra and music lol

[alspageddi]

@stndrds79 No stranger than seeing Gergiev conduct Tokyo's NHK Symphony Orchestra.

[jordan3461]

[jsteuernol]

Principal trumpet just destroyed this! One man, louder than the orchestra.

Fuck yes.

[AmonRa1096]

I play this and the Promenade from Pictures of an Exhibition by Mussorgsky in band..I think we sound super awesome.

[163388416]

I have to play this song in the school band

[56nightstar]

[tiikiillo]

[vilmadb]

Bravo!!! Bravisimo!!!

[scaunter]

3:45 unbelievable intensity with the gong. Wow.

[buzzerbeater9000]

Every time you think it's over it just gets better.

[dmitriaceofspades]

The conductors like flipping out lol

[MyCrazzySoxRoxUrSox]

my marching band does this song in a marching kind of version! It's a lot of fun, we also perform "largo" and "firebird". Our show is called "from russia with love" because yes, it is a russian show. :) and I proudly play the trumpet and mellophone!

[JordiLensink]

That is a lot of trumpet-sound! Exhibition of strength, not of balance... Respect however!

[SRNF]

Thumbs up if your thinking of the lyrics from ELP's version

[phildaddy4]

all hail the king

[phildaddy4]

jerry the king Lawler

[Matt123ttam]

Sounds very much like Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

[racetime1960]

@Matt123ttam Not so much, not really no!!

[Matt123ttam]

@racetime1960 Well the first few notes do.

[hectorfprez]

@Matt123ttam ...in case you have a turd in your ear.

[saxephone95]

the audio is behind the actual video..... incase it was too unnoticable....

[2getha4eva2]

This was really fun to play with my school's orchestra. :)

[idk543210]

holy F*CK did anyone else hear that tuba/bass bone rip that pedal tone at 4:02 - 4:04 EPIC

[jeffwincott]

Actualy there are two orchestras as written in the description. Slovenian RTV Orchestra and French. It is hard to say who is principal. For ex. concert master is from French orchestra and beside him is the concert master from Slovenian orchestra. The same goes with trumpets-we have two principals-when one is playing the other is resting. The one who is sitting next to 1st trombone is Matej Rihter-principal trumpet of Slovenian RTV Orchestra.

[kawaiiberryz20]

whoa... is it me or do the bocals on those two bassoons look a bit too straight?

it's probably just the angle that makes them look like that

[zstickey159]

The sound is way off the actual video ex: 2:11

[hkams]

great trumpet

[jessica131100]

I am playing this song in my bell choir. my director told us today he wonted powerful as if a king was walking in. He said to look it up. Man this is amazing.

[jfkopps]

Wow, GREAT trumpet playing. I like how the assistant trumpet plays that last "unison" Bflat so the principal can come in blasting the high notes. Bravo

[spewey111]

3:15 is my favorite part

[trumpetgirl113]

2:16 gives me the shivers

[Vertigebrass]

"Flutiste" is the french term...

[crosswordswithpen]

Actually flute player works, but it is only "flautist" if you are in France. "Flutist" is the English term.

[Azurdori]

@crosswordswithpen Actually, "flautist" is the predominant term used in England, whereas "flutist" is the predominant in America ;). Not that I play the flute or anything... 8-) :P

[xjwag11x]

anyone elses favorite part (well, at least one of them) 1:20?

sounds so epic, like itd be in a war movie

[SouthernersSax]

@xjwag11x That section is nice, but 3:50 is by far my favorite. I was able to perform it with my marching band in 2008 as the finale of our closing piece. We were lined from end zone to end zone as we slowly pushed forward. I got goose bumps just playing it. One night, I was on the receiving end of it, and to this day I am in awe of what I felt.

[undertakernumberone1]

Jerry "The King" Lawler

[Aleancelo]

@undertakernumberone1 Also don't forget Harley Race.

[TwinFami]

@undertakernumberone1 No. Harley Race! lmao

[stndrds79]

@undertakernumberone1 before that long bedfore, it was Harley race's theme dummy! and afterwards, King Haku

[DeMonfa13]

this melody is used in michael jackson "they don't care about us" :)

[Poonwrckr]

I watched this video and was most impressed with the flute player. She looks like she loves a good time. Yummy!

[minralb]

@Poonwrckr I believe the correct term for a "flute player" as you call her is "flautist". Yeah I know, picky-picky is my middle name. But you did get one thing right, you said that she looks yummy and no one can deny that.

[PhantomLord]

1 person on here is scared of epic music!

[RaDi565]

@PhantomLord exactly

[JLWTLC]

ladies and gentlemen please welcome wwe hall of famer jerry "the king" lawler

[radiootoo]

Where are the tubular bells?

[armonici]

@radiootoo 3:50

[madderbass]

@radiootoo 1:50

[purpleandblack10]

Beautiful movement. I was in a youth philharmonic recently, and I got to play the chimes in this movement. Though it was just E flat over and over again, it was amazing.

[ertatta]

who is playing principal trumpet here?

[celebcuivienen]

krááásne :-)

[Dachbodenfund]

great! i love it :)
