Smetana: "The Moldau"

[MrNobodyspecial777]

Our orchestra in high school is playing this...I only hope we don't butcher it to the point of disrespect to this amazing piece of music.

1:13 the only part i need to hear

[Photokat22]

I want to download this from amazon, but they have many versions and it's specifically this one I want! Do you have any info that will lead me to the exact version? Thank you in advance :)

[JingleJoe]

@Photokat22 google zamzar, you will find it useful in obtaining this exact track.

[jbaker208]

Sponge Bob brought me here lol.

[ASHERUISE]

This YA novel from the 1960's, "It's Like This, Cat" brought me here. The protagonist describes it as "Slow, but kind of powerful, and it makes you feel a kind of power yourself, as if you could do anything." But it's not slow at all, and it is VERY powerful!

[Opbandit186]

GO MRS.NASHIRE!

[solenero73]

oh delight!



[jmasterk1103]

...too slow, but decent...

[LucaGenas]

Absolutly PURE MAGIC!

[Cherylyuennable]

Brilliant piece! I am grateful that the kind workers who work at Smetana's museum in Prague that allowed me to get into his museum while i was there on their off day in 2010 ! I feel like going back to Prague badly right now when I am listening to this piece !

[TheSaltydog07]

Good for you, Jingle Joe. One of my favorites,and it always makes me cry for some reason.

[asburytheo]

The Tree of Life brought me here. And so to Terrence Malick I will be thankful for the rest of my days.

[halloduuuu1]

αγαπημένο......

[4lifeZac]

Played this at my All-State orchestra :D

[66nataS]

I heard it first time in school, like a lot of people too.. in those days I didn't nearly understood the feeling and grace of this masterpiece. My mind simply wasn't prepared and couldn't understand, that I've just heard a piece of such beauty. Timeless

[Missdayna11]

if u don't like this then something is wrong with u....

[JingleJoe]

Instead of the rap music which you hear people playing in thier cars (because they play it so loud) I will play this, at the same volume.

[luizcadu]

@JingleJoe Why is it that people with the most powerful sound in the car usually have the worst taste for music?

[bluemood64]

@JingleJoe Well, I do that every day of my life... what's wrong with doing it? ;-)))

[MP2NVDan]

I learned this in 7th grade music appreciation, 40+ years ago, still brings shivers and tears to my eyes.

[elarox15]

I heard a part of this song on an episode of Little Einsteins on disney junior.

I decided to look it up and I instantly fell in love with this piece.

btw, I am 17 and, yes, I still watch disney junior. don't judge me (x

[JingleJoe]

@elarox15 you will be a good person if you stick to what you know, why? because you can still watch cartoons like a child and appreciate music like an adult :)

[tekroese]

It sounds a bit like Hatikva (israels national anthem)

[OfficialMerilette]

This is the best recording I have found on YouTube!

[SaotomeUkyou]

It's great! I feel so good.

[jstmeej]

THE BEST

[Huawuchiue]

感謝分享這麼美的曲子~The river is so beautiful! Thank you share it~~\OO/~~

[siriusaboutnothing]

have a final tomorrow and this is one of the 8 we have to remember

[healingvision91]

This piece is played excellently, but the erratic tempo changes don't give the right effect in my opinion. It's a river, not a rollercoaster!

[EpsilonLotus]

I played this song in a 2010 Tour to China with the Hong Kong Youth Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was HUGE. It was amazing. Easily one of my favorite pieces.

[6235river]

@EpsilonLotus That is so cooool.

[TwiggehLeaf]

So beautiful!!

[Theprankartist]

thumbs up if music class brought you here

[cj614]

@Theprankartist Yep..final exam tomorrow. Part of it is to identify this piece. lol

[StarTrekBoy69]

@cj614 I am with you on that one. Lol.

[Baseplus1]

@Theprankartist

[ohmyhi]
