Herbert von Karajan conducts The Blue Danube Waltz

[zeppy13131]

It's a beautiful recording, but the orchestra and dancers aren't listening very closely to it. :?D

[Valourie22]

2:51 Is it slow motion or jz the way it is? It look so nice!

[mslisajoy]

One of my alltime favorites. Such beauty. Tears rolling down as I write this. May we all be filled with the love and light of music.

Namaste,

Lisa Joy

[Gabriella331335]

awesome!!!

@sunshine34ification We don't accept comments from people who are not even capable of writing a simple and nonsense sentence like this without a mistake.

[sunshine34ification]

@Viimane

fuck you nigger!

[Viimane]

@sunshine34ification Heh?

[CaptainMorganThe3rd]

@Viimane "A simple and nonsense sentence like this"

That doesn't even make sense

[Viimane]

@CaptainMorganThe3rd Oh doesn't it? Strange you are the first person to notice this. Congratulations.

[CaptainMorganThe3rd]

@Viimane What do I win?

[Viimane]

@CaptainMorganThe3rd w.i.n.

[Viimane]

@CaptainMorganThe3rd I guess you didn't get my message. That, considering your mental capacity, somewhow doesn't surprise me.

Anyway, w.i.n. stands for wait it's...nothing.

And as a bonus - one piece of advice: go trolling somewhere where you match the IQ level of the audience, for instance some rap video.

[CaptainMorganThe3rd]

@Viimane I received the message. I just decided to abstain from dignifying you with a response.

If you think a condescending attitude earns you a spot among the higher strata of intellectual vigor, then I'm sorry you feel that way. I wasn't trolling and I didn't do anything to warrant you labeling me as cognitively deficient. If it serves your onanistic tendencies and makes you feel better by calling me an idiot, though, then by all means proceed. I won't stop you.

[Sammiee8489]

@CaptainMorganThe3rd I love your vocabulary. You remind me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. You're not a Theoretical Physicist, are you?

[Viimane]

@CaptainMorganThe3rd Using intricate phrases doesn't protect you against failing to understand simple ones, though. A good try, anyway. Better luck next time.

[gayILuigi]

Fuck you Kubrick for showing me that i spent 8 years in vain listening to Crappy music :Troll:

[hundredhead]

2001 a space oddesy is what this is from. i remember now'

69 people don´t know what is music

[lottdominique]

TMQ?

[MrSLAIEH]

Une belle prestation du maître .

[petrusprimusmaximus]

Yes Kubrick's use of this piece in '2001' was truly beautiful............He used a von Karajan conduction

[ChuckyJesus666]

@petrusprimusmaximus No, he didn't. He used Karl Bohm's version.

[gdejsciez]

Fantastica, sublime no me canso de escucharla

[09322949272]

[TheNiger54]

A mi gusto el mejor Director del Mundo.... como proyecta sus emociones a los ejecutantes.... con mucho sentimiento, carácter..... Un legado de la Humanidad.....

[gabbib55]

Superb version!

[ChuckyJesus666]

I love it...sadly....the video is not in sync with this audio.... not sure how that happened...

Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity brought me here :P

[snipersEND]

The audio and video are horribly out of sync. You can see everyone still playing a good 15 seconds after the song finishes

[fighttheracists]

Beautiful music! Beautiful dancing! Strauss's Blue Danube is one of the greatest works of art ever!

These dancers are so beautiful, so graceful! I'm not a big fan of ballet but I like this.

Magnificent!

[FryChicken]

240p...

This needs to be uploaded in 720p HD so you get the higher bit rate sound quality, not b/c the video is in any way HD.

[dhavebur]

Thanks Karajan. Hero.

[heisanevilgenius]

FAKE

[mysterioso2006]

Whenever I hear this peace, all I can think of are giant, turn-of-the-century cities. And it is awesome.

[TheDarkSide61862]

Can't help to vision a 'chick' in a white jumpsuit walking with magnetic booties sideways on a spaceship wall bringing a supper tray to the only passenger on board. :) Seriously. This (to me) is a very relaxing, smooth flowing melody that seems to gently embrace my soul. A true masterpiece.

[owlandroo]

Dude the sound is off so bad!!!! :(

[zaxarias091]

Αυτό που έκανε ο Κάραγιαν είναι μοναδικό....ότι και αν ενορχήστρωσε

του έδωσε πολλά περισσότερα από κάθε άλλον.

Κάθε συνθέτης θα ήθελε έναν Κάραγιαν για να ακούσει το έργο του όπως

μόνο αυτός μπορούσε να αποδώσει ....

[camurluk]

bizim kelle kesen islamcılar gelip baleye bok atarlar. sizin kafanızda varsa yoksa cennette sikeceginiz kadınlar var. rezillik dolu dininizden bıktı bu insanlık.

erkekler bir araya gelip zikir çekin anca. nerede güzel bir şey var hemen yok edin siz. insanların kafalarını kesip kırbaçlamaktan başka ne biliyorsunuz ki siz.

neyse müslümanlıgın sonu yakındır. bu kadar safsata dolu bir din daha yeryüzüne inmedi.

[40warhawkp]

Beautiful. How come no one today can write such exquisite music?

[waddlerobloxxxx]

LOL I LIVE IN GERMANY AND BYPASSED THE COPYRIGHTZ LOLOLOLOL

[IsaDolli]

Bravo!!!

[juanarruti]

this reminds me of the jungle book

[eliyakimova]

страхотен валс когато го слушам сякаш присъствам и аз и се нося във вихарана този танц

[asharulesall]

@eliyakimova what language is that? I like it!!!

[thecombinearecoming]

@asharulesall Bulgarian, apparently.

[immerueberall]

Johan Strauss, Wiener Philharmonic Orchester and Herbert von Karajan - all three represent the essence of my wonderful homeland, Austria.

This would have to be one of the absolute best renditions of the Blue Danube, my all-time favourite Viennese waltz - Donau so blau, durch Tal und Au, fliesst ruhig du hin, dich gruesst unser Wien - I remember singing these words as a child in Austria so long ago.

[exnemocpt]

@immerueberall

This is the cause that makes I feel affinity between Italy and Austria.

[stavit2]

Thank you Kubrick for exposing me to this music.

[morfeo302]

@stavit2 gracias a quien halla subido esta musica a internet porque yo ahora mismo estoy disfrutando esta bella melodia , muchas gracias Kubrick

[ategli1]

Cerrar los ojos y navegar por el Danubio, presenciar una magnifica orquesta en su orilla, estar vivo en la belleza de la vida...Strauss Gracias Infinitas.

I just think it is fantastic.

65 people who are deaf!

I don't know why this song creeps me the fuck out it just does. It reminds me of the titanic :,(

I really don't want to write.....

I just want to FEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!! =D

[alliecat1927]

this is a beutiful song :)

[FieryBiscuits]

When I was at university, there were a lot of Chinese students. On the LAN, we found one was sharing porn. A camera was inserted into a Chinese lady, right up past her cervix, and THIS was the soundtrack. Please help my mental scars heal!

[wisdomleader85]

@FieryBiscuits ewwww.....foreal?

[clonedecalmaker12]

very nice! I'm playing this with gyso georgia youth symphony orchestra

[niusenjka]

fantastic



[bittersweetism]

If you're ever in a big hotel lobby, and they start to play 'The Blue Danube Waltz,' get the hell out. Don't think, run

[kimmois1]

@bittersweetism What if you've gone home with a one night stand you just met in a bar and they put it on?

[IITajann]

Awesome music, though you do need to check out the vid at 4:57 - 5:00.

[TheGlobalSoundSystem]

65 people are fags

[gabriel51874]

65 people are deaf or do not know what music is (65 pessoas são surdas ou não sabem o que é música...

[LiaxJersey12]

Who cares how many people disliked this? Their loss. This music is magical. I'm glad so many people love it. I could care less about the minority that does not appreciate this fine piece.

[Timei]

@LiaxJersey12 Finally someone who makes sense. Who cares who dislikes such a masterpiece?

[beethovensbeloved]

@LiaxJersey12 I'm with you!

[hotspurschool]

@LiaxJersey12 You can't please the ignorant!

[artisticsmoke]

thumbs up if you opened this because of the time warp - water balloon top comment said to.

[KDN888]

what would some movies be if this was not composed?

[Thadesgal]

Sixty-five people can not waltz to Blue Danube...

[ionutvranceanu]

65 people didn't like music

[beautifulpassion]

@ionutvranceanu THIS music. Not everyone has to like it because you do.

[PGReviews]

Listening to this while coding a URL shortener.  badass.

[IITajann]

@PGReviews hell yeah man

[MrAam1964]

Great tempo in the interpretation and nice realisation in terms of video.

[bigdanbear]

I think it was and is still amazing music. Kissing your lover under a warm star filled sky. Hold you newborns hand. Your puppy playing in the kiddie pool for the first time.

[love2cwalk1]

hay qua di

[bonnmystic]

What a beautiful pleasure.

[PatRick4001]

Goddamn I love what music does to me. 

[spike280]

@PatRick4001 Isn't that the f*cking truth? I'd include Mozart's turkish march, his requiem, and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. These are my "if I were on an island..." picks.

[EpikHater]

Seriously, does anybody know what version of Blue Danube this is: /watch?v=0j6VcjchxBc

[BlodOgTorden]

I'll write that bitch a waltz, bitches love waltzes.

[Prancer1231]

@BlodOgTorden  You sound like a real romantic.

[dominusetdeus060644]

@BlodOgTorden lol 9gagger.

[roundabouthereify]

they are not together, the dancers

[ruasimon]

the music is not in sinc with the conductor!!!

[Rajapavla]

Děkuji za zprostředkování této krásné hudby, je rytmická krása,která až nutí k tanci.

Když čtu komentáře, jsem vůbec v Česku? Kde vlastně žiji, já v Jihočes.kraji.

[Rajapavla]

Děkuji za zprostředkování této krásné hudby, je rytmická krása,která až nutí k tanci.

[Chaplain1988]

When driving a massive, multi-kilometer long ship through the depths of space during the quiet periods between combat, accept no substitute!

Blue Danube, your theme of choice for the tedium of interstellar space travel.

[agarside1000]

@Chaplain1988 I dont always listen to music, but when i'm not destroying planets, I prefer Blue Danube

[ASBOMAN]

@Chaplain1988 lmao :)

[matt2811]

@Chaplain1988 I used to listen to this all the time on those long trips. But since I got my Infinite Improbability Drive installed I haven't had to do any of that tedious mucking about in hyperspace.

[HaloTach]

the world lost 64 People´s minds

[Paaradox]

08:08 Ruined my concentration

Great waltz.

[eddierat100]

Probably at lot more than that, and what's your point?

[Centelles80]

Karajan è un mito!!!

[AnthonyCL13]

@KLandDev Yep, it's out of sync

[Proteus6684]

@AnthonyCL13 who cares....its still great : )

[AnthonyCL13]

@Proteus6684 Well, of course it is~

[Otacon642]

HEY its the space music!

[bonnmystic]

A complicated and skilled performance. The most beautiful women - A celebration of the finest.. The question here is whether or not one could live up to the standard.

[zmayy]

..in my part, danube isn't blue... its a bit shity :D:D:D:D:D

[jordan8705]

Thumbs up for 2001 A Space Odyssey!

[JJ2plus2]

Stop Dave, I'm afraid.

[crafty117]

@JJ2plus2 That is the most chilling line in the movie, in my opinion. Always gives me the willies.

[Manoola50]

WOwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Johnfdallas]

Those who hate Karajan are dead.

[djs9108]

I play this song when I slap my bitch in the face with my dick

[paulostroff99]

Lovely! TY popo for posting.

[MadThad0890]

Just saw the lonny tunes ep of this song today.  So glad I finally got to learn this guys name. this is great

[george77772moons]

Long live the king of waltzes.

[gibaudrac1]

Good old Herbie! Faithful Nazi! Loyal liberal! Whatever you want him to be!

[278augustin]

Did you conclude that from him conducting ?

[baseballfurie31]

@SCDaCrAzYMoFo13 yes! thats how it was back then. he must of got major action

[chmarbo]

I just love it, love it, love it!!!!

[tulipanoir]

@djfakt Mate I won't and I'm talking in what is supposed to be your language, so if you find yourself "SO ERUDITE ( if you don't know just look at the dictionary)" just do something constructive in prol of music,arts,politics instead of TRYING to criticize others for doing so...Ha e eu tambem posso dizer tudo isso em PORTUGUES,DEUTSCH,ITALIANO,SPA­NISH. So I actually don't give a dam of what you think. Herbert Von Karajan a prima "maestro" im das Deutsch und welt musik!!

[tulipanoir]

"The Blue Danube" that's a master piece of art that even went choose by the genious Stanley Kubrik to open "2001 a Space Odissey" and this man one of the greatest "maestro" of all times Her Herbert Von Karajan let us with a heartache nostalgy through our everyday's ordinary lives. 

[djfakt]

@tulipanoir PLEASE, stop with your ignorance! The spelling is KILLING me...

[NickyNicharee]

WONDERFUL!!!!!! ^__^

[MyIpodIzMyLife]

Justin Bieber being mentioned even here? This is just rediculous! He has NOTHING to do with such a timeless piece as this. You are taking this TOO FAR, We defenders of the Hated won't take revenge; there are no hard feelings. Imagine he donated something to you poor saps. Will you feel ashamed! So haters, get a life. And don't even THINK about making a comeback saying "says the guy who's listening to classical music".. I rather that than listen to your pointless ranting. -The 14 Yr.-Old

[djfakt]

@MyIpodIzMyLife AND yours...

[chmarbo]

@MyIpodIzMyLife I am agree with you.

[baseballfurie31]

@MyIpodIzMyLife yes. yes.

[MaryPaz1957]

Ho mi dios, Danuvio azúl, y mi corazón entra en taquicardia, muy bella música, simplemente me transforma.

[zzznxjdhdsfs]

Imagine dancing through the whole thing--good exercise!

[MyIpodIzMyLife]

@zzznxjdhdsfs I can imagine sleeping through it. It's such a peaceful song, unlike TODAY that is; they give us a break form the rest of the world, that's how I feel about the topic.... Long live classical music!

[zzznxjdhdsfs]

Imagine dancing to this whole thing--that would put you in pretty good shape!

[yocam420]

this is the most interesting man in the world. do not need dos equis hhahaha

[adeptwon]

Whoever edited this must think we are idiots out here. The orchestra is not playing what we are hearing. In one spot, a violin is shown playing but is not heard, and what the violinist is doing doesn't match the music. PLEASE make a better effort to synchronize audio and visual? Thanks

[yocam420]

plaese dont say the B word.

[MrJustletmeseeit]

@yocam420 the B word.

[simpsonfan13]

@yocam420 Please, don't be so easily offended.

[TheNightOwl1981]

@yocam420 why i can´t say Brilliant?xD Because this waltz is Brilliant!

[princearthur1999]

Simply magnificent

Thank you for posting!

[collectorvacman]

just a fantastic musical score. this will be played and enjoyed for all time. thats the difference between classical music and modern music. classical music forever, modern music soon to be forgotten.

[zeebenzine]

@collectorvacman well, what do you mean by modern music. the beatles isn't classical music, led zeppelin isn't classical music, but hey jude and stairway to heaven will be remembered for all time. I don't like this sort of musical elitism. If music is good, it doesn't matter what type of music. I have a collection of all types of genres. I ask you to expand your musical horizons and give "modern" music a chance. You have to dig for it sometimes, but there's plenty of good stuff out there.

[richard112588]

Classical Music is Immortal and will remain forever! Pop Music will die and will be forgotten!

[joh3]

@richard112588 Let us not forget that "classical" music was the pop music of it's day. Everything was new, brash or experimental once and some lives on and some does not.

[kaiserwilhelm]

I can see Bieber in the background!

[Merlinman2005]

I knew I had heard this before when I read the name, but when I knew what tune it was going to be by 0:05, then it turned out I was right, I felt refined.

I AM ONE BAD-ASS INTELLECTUAL

[homerrulezzzz]

i'm going to play this when i'm eating chips in space

[Asad3186]

60 people like justin bieber

[justsoicanwatchacert]

For all of the people who are saying the composer, it's not Richard Strauss, it's Johann Strauss II, nor does Justin Bieber feature once in this video so, could there be no further discussion of this boy. Keep your opinions to yourself as this is not a video that is in anyway related to a Young Canadian pop artist,

[nuttynoah]

looks more like barry manilow!

[soomething]

This music reminds me of docking.

[VisualVVatcher]

Exceptional ballerinas for exceptional music.

[ThE420DbOY]

I like this song and composer ever more now that I know he was a NAZI

[flagiboe]

@ThE420DbOY FUCK OFF

[harryschneider007]

@ThE420DbOY It's now widely accepted that Karajan was not a real Nazi. In order to get work one had to have a party card in those days. It was reminiscent of when I was working in Zambia for the British Foreign Aid Scheme.

We had to have joined the local political party in order to show the party card when buying food etc. That's what is was like.

[ThatGuyFromTurkey]

Dislike?

[TheDambadamba]

@ThatGuyFromTurkey yeah 60 deaf people disliked this or 60 zionist jew, because H.von Karajan was a Nazi lol

[eddierat100]

look at the pic at oh3.net and just listen to the music.
