  • all hail the classical greats of the _______ era. i forgot it so could some1 remind me

  • The dude looks like David Lynch.

  • I agree with you - I too prefer Verdi's Requiem over Mozart's one... so much more theatrical, and so much bigger... I had the opportunity a couple of years ago to sing this amazing piece with a ~500 person choir... a-m-a-z-i-n-g experience...

  • I have to say this is great. It's powerful just as it is, but imagine the intensity if we could exaggerate all that brass and timpani.

  • compare to this, justin bieber is dog food

  • looks like hes on a war elephant

  • @altazorx

    What about Iron Maiden?

  • No other requiem (that I have heard) captures "wrath" as well as Verdi's in the "Dies irae". Amazing! Thanks for the upload.

  • The conductor looks like such a bad ass when he gives that little smile at the crescendo of the trumpets!

  • This version is more powerful, that's what counts

  • i love this Verdi's alot more then Mozart's

  • Regal trumpets!  Nice!

  • Herpderp von Caravan ;) Nah, jokes, i love this :D

  • @phreffable. I would understand if you didn't have improvisation training. There are many different standards in music schools. We had a yearly improvisation contest in which the contenders were given the melodic line a few seconds before the contest started and their improvisations usually spanned many different techniques and expressions from different eras. Some of them used jazz techniques, but they also used other intricate forms that require years of formal training to master.

  • @phreffable that is an stereotype that non trained musicians use all the time. Ironically this is due to lack of knowledge as well. Through all the many years in the conservatoire music students are given melodic lines or bass lines whom they have to fill in with harmony and counterpoint. And I am talking about really intricate melodies with lot's of technical challenges. Not the simple harmonic modulations required to follow J Coltrane. Again, you can't understand if you don't know the language

  • Jazz musicians on the other hand keep it truly live by thinking about what they are playing and inventing new phrases, melodies, etc as they go along, usually within the overall melodic/chord structure of the piece and at their best, without repeating phrases already done. I am a classical musician, but wish I could play jazz well.

  • such pieces only Karajan

  • *cough* Battle Royale

  • Battle Royale!!!

  • This is our opener to our marching band show!!! :DDDD

  • Why do you compare Gourmet and Fast Food?

    Both are great, and both have elements of each other but even though metal musicians try to immitate classical they will always fall short because of this:

    LOTS of metal players get into music conservatoires and part of them leave because studying formal music is as hard as studying astrophysics and the ones who stay endup switching to classical music because with all the knowledge they now posses metal turns out to be predictable, boring and NAIVE.

  • @altazorX While what you say may well be true it is not apropos to PBlart01's comment. You might have complimented him on playing an instrument or on being sensitive to the conjunction of art and nature as he shared his life changing experience with us, but you just "rained on his parade", berating him for playing in a predictable, boring band instead of an orchestra.

    Things are only predictable if you hear them repeatedly. So what if you start with Karajan or a school band so long as you start?

  • @TedinNY I think you got mixed up. My comment wasn't directed at PBlart01. It was directed at people comparing very specific things like the degree of knowldege and perfection required to compose pieces by metal bands compared to Stravinksy and other "classical" -rather serious- composers. There's no harm on saying you like something better than other thing but if you are going to make comparisons and rate people based on technical abilities you need to be prepared to backup your claims :)

  • @altazorX And yet, with all that knowledge all they are doing is following what someone else has written, same as reading a book, with little opportunity to vary anything they are reading or to put their own mark on it without detracting from what the composer intended. Most classical musicians have no improvisational ability and just follow the dots like automatons.

  • @altazorX If you're bored by metal music I suggest you explore more into the avant garde side of it; good examples being Kayo Dot and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

  • @altazorX Actually that is a generalization. There are lots of metal guitar players who finished the conservatory. And yes, there is SOME types of metal that are boring and predictable

  • @altazorX Amen!

  • Metal, Rock, Rap, Pop and other modern songs are not even art, how can theyü be awesome or something

  • metal is not 99% inspired by classical music ffs

  • @MBclms  Most music is. Most music roots from blues and classical.

  • @TheSneeakyNinjas What are you, twelve? Learn some history, please.

  • @thethreeheadedmonkey God, my grammar wasn't great there. Already done that, lovey.

  • We played this for our school marching band!!! One day we were out practicing and dark clouds started rolling in, and when we finished, it was storming really bad! It was one of the most epic things ive ever been apart of!!!!!

  • @PBlart01 I played this with my drum corps all summer. :P Trumpet fanfare all the way

  • @PBlart01 i did this song as well. it was our own arranged version of it but it was just as exciting

  • @PBlart01 Do you go to waxahachie?

  • OMG! This is from the soundtrack of ''Quidditch World Cup'' Videogame! I luv it! :3 lol

  • The power, emotion, the complete passion of the whole requiem is simply amazing! I love this!!! :D

  • Oh Lord, Lord of the Ages, have mercy on us, on the day of your tremendous anger.

  • Awesome music. I love Mozart deeply, but I also love this piece

  • loved the use of this song in Battle Royale

  • I love this. So exciting and powerful.

  • why do people have to start opinionated flame wars on EVERY F'ING VIDEO?! drives me mad -.-

  • Amazing video

  • Comment removed

  • The Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps played Dies Irae and Sanctus for back in 1979. Very intense and beautiful.

  • VERY NICE 5 STARS ☆☆☆☆☆

    Erika Ragazzi

  • Symphony X also used this in the intro of their album "V".

  • ... with Russell Allen's voice singing all the choir parts =)

  • oh my god. i just realized that dires irae was used in that harry potter quidditch game and pirates of the caribbean and like a million other things. my life is turned upside down

  • @chillmander todays film makers have ruthlessly plundered the works of classical and romantic composers.

  • @ChannelMud first thing that came to mind, sorry

  • mozart's requiem is very beautiful and more suitable to honor the dead...

    But Verdi is God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    his superiority in my opinion is that he dedicated his life to creating incredible dramas in his operas and this piece is a testament to his ability and his vast knowledge of the drama, the human voice, and a management of the choir like no other composer has achieved

  • @BenMurrie i understand why you're saying this because i also love metal, but i don think that metal has the power of this piece

  • How did metal get brought up in these comments??? The thin fine line between this and metal is that this is actual thought out, written down and composed music. Metal is just noise over lapping noise with a repetitive "beat" if thats what you can call it.

  • @MrLopercasey Err, you actually know absolutely nothing about metal music, yet you go ahead and make such a fatuous comment.

  • @MrLopercasey watch?v=ZhedP71N9gQ Oh yeah I'm sure that it was pretty easy to compose this piece of noise with a repetitive beat...

    Or is it perhaps very hard to play, intellegent well thought out music that is somewhat like a modern day Stravinsky?

    As for this video: I absolutely adore Verdi's Dies Irae, but I do not like how the instruments mix in this recording. I think the trumpets are a bit too dominant, and there isn't enough low in it.

  • @MrLopercasey Listen and shut up. watch?v=YeigwAI2v6o

  • Sorry I have no other words to use... Fuck this is awesome!

  • Battle Royale opening theme

  • Phantom Regiment will never play it as well as the IUP marching band did.

  • gracias por subir esta maravilla!!!!!!!

  • This clip is absolutely SPECTACULAR~!!!!!

    Thank you SO much for posting it Pozzil~!!!

    I want this, I want to hear ALL of it,

    PLEASE help me find it~!

  • CANNOT WAIT FOR PHANTOM REGIMENT TO PLAY THIS. Im getting chills already.

  • I don't see what the problem is with metal/rock music. I love everything from Bach to Vivaldi to journey to blind guardian. If the song has musical value in any sense it is something worth listening to.

  • Absolument Beautiful

  • if you hear it without knowing its a "dies irae" you will definitely know its a "dies irae" .. day of wrath !

  • actually metal is closer to classic music more than any other kind .

  • I'm a music student in college, and we're doing the Verdi Requiem in its entirety at the end of the month. It's probably the most epic thing to sing ever. Oh, and Karajan is a beast.

  • melodic rage !!! impressive

  • VERDI® VIVE PER L'ETERNITA'

  • Comment removed

  • Great master Karajan !!!

  • My choir is doing this in 2 weeks (in Davis, Ca, if anyone around there is interested) and it's definitely among the top three pieces I've ever done, along with Mozart's requiem and Carmina Burana of course. It's impossible not to sing your heart out. Simply amazing! :D

  • I feel like moshing

  • A rare powerful air for classical music, a genial composition very modern for that time.

  • Sad to say, but Brahms' Requiem is SO ignored! The entire work is a masterpiece!!!!!!

  • VERDI ROKZ!!

  • Comment removed

  • Karajan always looks like he's turning the knobs and levers of some kind of invisible machine

  • @stevenkonasr ahahahah incredible as I said!

  • The camera work and editing in these Karajan recordings are always really good.

  • I WILL HAVE SEX TO GUILE'S THEME SONG.....THEN WHEN IM ABOUT TO CUM....I WILL PLAY THIS SONG LOL........PERFECT SEX COMBO

  • I just saw the Requiem at the auditorium in Rome yesterday.....incredible experience

  • I would love to go to a live orchestra one day.

  • APABULLANTE, MAJESTUOSA!!!

  • IT'S THE END OF TEH WUUUUUUUURLDS!!!!

  • I'm a huge fane of heavymetal, But, I can tell you that metal is shit in front of classical music, especially in front of the great maestro Karajan

  • Very powerful

  • this was used in the intro for battle royale..

  • @ 2:20 what kind of trumpet is that? i've seen it twice and i'm just really curious

  • @fedeymini It's called a rotary trumpet or a rotary valve trumpet. They're much more common in European orchestras but you see them in some US orchestras from time to time.

  • @fedeymini At this section, I see rotary trumpets (rotary valves instead of standard piston valves) and the guys in the balcony have coach horns.

  • @bdoggwith2gz Actually those are not coach horns, those are herald trumpets. Coach horns have no valves.

  • man!! karajan is AWESOME!!!

  • the 1st time i heard it from Japanese action horror film Battle Royale.

  • @tsukasa1608 Me too, that's why I looked it up, very inspiring.

  • The big trumpet part was too slow though. I heard the Pittsburgh Symphony not too long ago and it was pretty damn good!

  • technically, its romantic music, not "classical". And yeah, metal it´s awesome, this is awesome, we should be talking about good music, not about "genres"

  • oh, my... greates, glory!

  • Karajan, the most overrated conductor ever!

  • @S0NNABEND I think the right way of putting it was that Karajan was one of the best marketed conductors ever, Verdi certainly wasn't his thing, but I still prefer his Verdi Requiem to Sinopoli's or Celibidache's

  • Power!!! Energy!!! GREAT IMPACT!!!

  • These old Karajan videos are all filmed very, very well. I wish some of the producers of today's orchestral recordings were the same.

  • Alguien me podría decir el nombre de este director ??????

  • @teagnes Herbert von Karajan

  • Gracias por el dato Tenebrae666

  • Comment removed

  • people take this brand of music for granted

  • I like those conductors that are a spectacle themselves :D

  • Makes me think of the North Africa scene in "Valkyrie".

  • all I feel, all I know, all I am... is power

  • Meet the Metalica of Classical Music

  • @holadudewhatup More like the Rhapsody of Fire of classical music.

  • should be a bit faster i think...

  • Magnífico el comienzo, te pone los vellos de punta. Me encanta la fuerza con la que conduce Karajan esa parte. Pura expresividad.

  • the best part is at 3:15, when karajan actually pops a smile. :)

  • In comparison with Maestro Toscanini, Maestro Karajan gave an obvious and somewhat greater footing to the trumpets during the Dies Irae. Also the Tuba Mirum was slower but without losing its inherent majesty.

  • Verdi's requiem is too dramatic, Mozart is so much better

  • @celebrei While Mozart's requiem is definately greater than Verdi's, it's not because Verdi's is "too dramatic".

  • I DO LOVE Karajan, too!!

  • IT WAS GLORIOUS.

  • shit! this is orgasmic!

  • please tell me recording/orchestra/hall of this performance

  • Just awesome,,THANKS A LOT, Pozzil ! I guess,Cellofellow, Mozart lives in another Universe than Verdi does but I am sure , they are very good neighbours in anycase...Thanks again for this fantastic possibility to listen to my favourite one...

  • god i love this.

  • im going to miss playing this requiem at my school. we didnt really play this much but the much shorter like 2 1/2 version of it. had this piece basically memorized for trombone and i LOVED this piece

  • pienso que el requiem de mozart es más conocido por su profundidad y su poder de sintesis clasicista. Suele ser más pegadizo algo elaborado con pautas clasicistas que románticas. El requiem de Verdi puede ser más elaborado y tener más variaciones, sin embargo la genialidad no está en la cantidad sino en la calidad. Y mozart con las primeras notas ya te dijo todo, se trasciende a si misma. Mientras Verdi necesita desarrollar la idea, en Mozart flota sobre todo el tema.

  • Verdi's is sooo much better than Mozart's. mozart's for me is bordering on being boring :/ i also love karl jenkings version

  • I don't care what yall say: THIS! IS! HEAVY METAL! At least the first 90 seconds.

  • @fruitsofnews yeah¡¡¡, think.......the Rock is one of the few music genres that can be performed with a symphonic orchestra, for example groups like Metallica, Pink Floyd, Scorpions or Apocalyptica have excellent performings with symphonical orchestras

  • Genial!

  • karajan kicks ass

  • as musical structure is certainly more interesting and powerful

    I totally agree, I like this a bit more

  • Beautiful, powerful and moving! My favourite piece of Classical music ever.

  • KARAJAN is the best, God knows it, that why he take him

  • this one is in evangelion !!!!!! :D

  • @Kuro1812 of course, for the best anime, the best music¡¡¡¡

  • The tale of an epic battle

  • Heyy :L im a trumpet player whose classically trained im lpaying this with my county orchestra which sounds amazing :D

    im also a heavy metal fan :)

    the only music which is fake music i believe is the opo, r'n;b and dance trance shite or anything like that.

    rock, classical, metall, jazz have live music thats not computer generised :D

  • @Cazzay16

    You right but only onw mistake.

    computer can geserised metal nuch better the human people XD

  • Mozart's dies irae is like a declaration, but Verdi's is somewhat of a taunt.

  • well said

  • This would be an epic battle theme :)

  • Have faith and fair...

  • @AnryK2690 well, I meant "fear"... :D

  • I will set this song as an alarm to my pc, to wake me up very early in the morning. I will have set the speakers to the maximum level. And then suddenly during the time that everyone sleeps, we (me and probably all the neighbours) will listen to this beautifull song! I hope that nobody s going to be scared of what is happening XD

  • I wish my school could do this. Actually, I wish my school was at least capable of doing this.

  • so many parellels between this and metal

  • @Anticrombie918 except that metal is fucking gay and this is real music

  • @critique0fmusic this is definitely music, but metal is too. listen to any maiden song and all of the harmonies, syncopation, etc. i am sure you've heard metal, but have you ever really listened to it? my guess is no

  • I would like every single metal song much better if they weren't screaming, gibbering, or roaring the vocals the whole time. It's really distracting, even if it is part of the design.

  • @raemeredith i'm not a big fan of the screamo thing either. i'll bring up iron maiden again, bruce really did sing, not so much with first singer. but i agree, some of it gets annoying (ex. megadeth, excelllent band, annoying singer

  • @Critique0fMusic so, 2 weeks later, have you actually listened to the metal yet?

  • As good as metal may be to you, it doesn't compare to the millennium of dedication and refinement that classical music has undergone.

    This piece is far from the best that classical has to offer.

  • @Critique0fMusic Metal is AWESOME and so is THIS

  • @alecccisbest right you are sir!

  • @alecccisbest you should not compare metal to this...

    

  • @alecccisbest metal is pathetic.same sound no matter how hard a metal guitarist tries.

  • @Critique0fMusic Unfortunately for your dumb ass, metal is 99% inspired by classical music, and i think composers of the time would be proud.

  • In fact, if you listen carefully the second movement of Beethoven's 9th, you'll appreciate the arpeggios guitar solo

  • @KSixStringX you're saying shit.

  • @KSixStringX metal has no beauty to it, and it has no purpose other than showing off. the composers would have called it out for what it is,garbage.Vivaldi,Bach,Mozart­,Handel,Beethoven,Verdi,Rossin­i,Schubert,Chopin,Liszt,...all the other master composers would scoff at metal music nowdays. They would probably be fascinated by the gimic for a few minutes then begin to hate it because it garbage.

  • @Mathew1985AZ You are literally the most close minded person I've ever met who claims to have the authority on music. I want you to listen to the greats such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and many others, and try to tell me that their work doesn't take conviction, finesse, musical genious, and skill. I play both the trumpet and the guitar, and while trumpet is by far more individual in terms of tone per player, each guitarist who is worth mentioning takes a lifetime to develop unique style

  • @KSixStringX lol close minded. Satriani,Vai and Eric Johnson....3 boring guitarists who are highly overrated. If I want to listen to a technical guitarist I would listen to Julian Bream.

  • It is the only requiem I can accept. Verdi's Dies Irae is my favourite Dies Irae! I see Mars and Artemis to lead the chorus.

  • stunning mors stupebit section.

  • som1 should make a vid where instead of the bow or pointer (conductor) its a sword that would be funny howver nice vid and gj Karajan

  • MrMichael...that is some dumbed shit guy. Eye guess we all have an opionion. doe. u sound like a youngster. PAX.

  • good song. the start is my favourite. going to see this in brangwyn hall swansea performed by the philharmonic choir

  • haha you soo should record it and put it up on youtube!

  • Being a composer looks fun, but frikken stressful too...

  • nah man it can be so calming if u want it like that , or with a piece like this , use it to get all your aggro out and just go mental

  • I suppose. But the correct term is 'conductor'.

  • ah, true, thanks =P didn't even notice

  • @randomuser4 it is stressful. im trying to write my first symphony and there are times when i love it, and times where i want to rip it up and start over.

  • @randomuser4 I think you probably mean conductor? Unless you don't in which case I'm sorry. Some conductors have died while conducting, two conductors died while conducting Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, in almost the same place in the music, the climax.

  • @aarandir i'm guessing that's probably because they were old and dying anyway. music doesn't generally get so intense that people die over it.
