  • breathtaking

    

  • My mom can play part of this on the piano. I love it.

  • Hermoso !!!! Sencillamente hermoso !!!!!

  • Everything about this reminds me of SCTV!! The costumes, the set, the bad hair, the normal voiced narrator.

    But still, there were amazing pianists. Go back at least a decade to the early 60's and they were COOL.

  • This music symbolizes the founding of the State Of Israel. It gives hope to all Jews that they finally have a homeland. No bombs or the worst of Islam will drive them away. Visit Israel and witness the only democracy in the Mideast. Then visit any Arab country and experience the squalor, corruption, and injustice. The Arabs envy Israel but are afraid to see peace.

  • Jerry Lee Lewis is a talent unto himself, no doubt, but he would not have a clue what to do with stuff from these guys -- and probably vice-versa. Classical musicians are very disciplined and exacting in their art -- Jerry was more focused in showmanship than anything and it worked well for him.

  • William me has been playing the piano since 1960. My Grandmother taught me

    how to play the piano. I think that all the Ferrante & Teicher music is outstanding.

    My Mother & Father heard Ferrante & Teicher in person many years ago at Lake Tahoe, California.

  • My surname is Teicher hehe

  • Fabulous!!! I Listen to the likes of The Muse, To-Mera, Megadeth,Mike Oldfield, yet this is a Legend!!!!! Thanks for the upload!!!!! I play the guitar and "attempted" this on piano when young.....BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

  • I listen to old rock: Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Argent, Led Zeppelin, etc... but when it's time to mellow out, this is what I turn to. I saw these guys on the Lawrence Welk Show back in 1970 and I had never heard 2 guys tearing up a piano like this -- they are not pretty brothers, but their virtuosity on the grands make up for that, hands down!

  • @1958marky Nobody ever tore up a piano like Jerry Lee Lewis doing GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

  • beautiful in every way

  • wow they even have matching toupees

  • @ruedydude And matching Bro-staches, too. It's like someone cloned Robert Goulet twice and didn't quite get it right either time.Or I guess Ferrante got cloned and they up with Teicher, then Goulet. LOL

  • I love these guys !

  • I saw them live at the Hollywood Bowl years ago and they were so awesome.

  • I have loved this piece of music since I was a kid (back in the swingin' sixties), and was important in my classical music education. At the time, I thought it was by Mozart, Liszt or someone of that ilk. It was only later I realised it was the theme to one of the most important epic films ever made.

  • This song moved me from the first time I heard it at 11 yrs. old. It has to be one of the greats.

  • Piano...quanta sonoridade ímpar. Timbres suaves ou então pesados e densos. Essa marcou a geração dos que ouviam rádio.

  • this song makes my heart well up with emotionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nn

  • T&F have carved a niche in the emotional mainstream of people around the world through their musical expression of the Exodus.

  • maravilhoso!

  • genuine talent - brilliant duo; always heard of them play in our vinyl record collections. My mom was a regular follower of these gifted pianists. 

  • .. a very sensitive song, that came out with the movie when I was, say 10 yrs old.. in say 1963 or so ... We children were sensitive then,,, Remember? a long time ago, I know but look around you and notice that our gain as children was lost due to the regeanomics greed that has all of us SUNK!!!

  • thou art grand!

  • this is so special --it really does give me chills also--very deep -bravo

  • i get the chills something fierce everytime i listen to this bad ass piece!

  • i got the chills something fierce!!

  • Hey , i was once dating Teichers' daughter molly , and i tell ya, that woman could play a mean fiddle, not to mention a wicked 88's. Well we broke up in the late 70's and the last i heard she was playing alto sax in a jazz band

  • No disrespect to your mother, but has she ever achieved the fame and longevity these guys have?

  • My mother was a Julliard trained pianist and she did not approve of these fellows' "technique". She thought they were showy and too dramatic.

  • I found this vinyl at a local pawn shop for 99 cents! A double album with 22 songs! The greedy old coot was trying to charge me different prices for each record. (Even though I found them in a box, along with VHS tapes, behind the DVD showcase, as if the owner had forgotten them.) I had to contain my excitement when he asked me why I wanted it. "Oh, I don't know, looks weird.", I told him. He didn't know what it was so he charged me a dollar. :)

  • go take a music class at your local community college and learn to appreciate music. these men were geniuses of their day

  • This song was 50 years ago no.5 in the world charts #ferrante #and #teicher

  • Does either one remind you of Ned Flanders from The Simpsons? They can undoubtedly play, but they are VERY heavy-handed. A lighter touch would have had more impact on me.

  • Truly a timeless song- thanks.

  • ferrante & teicher are truly the grande twins of the twin grands!!!!!!!!!! It's what i listen to, when i'm driving .......god bless them, they were great together. now that teicher has passed away, we can all appreciate what they gave us....................

  • in a grand style!

  • What difference does their look make? This is one of most gorgeous compositions/performances in the history music. I cry every time I hear it because it's so amazingly majestic, it takes my breath away.

  • @da66yy The difference their look makes is in the presentation. It wouldn't make a difference on radio or record, but this is a video clip of a television show, so clearly they were trying to make a visual impact.

  • @da66yy i agree used to play it. love the words too

  • @da66yy Awesome!!!

    

  • Now this is "REAL MUSIC" indeed! A++++ Thank you for posting this great REAL music! A+++++++

  • glissando productions hahahahahhahahaha oh shit...glisssannnndooo no less hahahahhaha and yeah, i love those jackets too.. hehehehehehehehehe

  • My grandparents have an 8-track player in their basement, and my cousins and I grew up listening to an 8-track tape of Ferrante and Teicher hits. This song brings back wonderful memories!

  • niceeeeeee

  • Excellent composition. Uli Roth or Yngwie may have 'guitarized' this by now- if not, would be interesting to hear what they would do with this.

  • Strip away the outfits and you have 2 classic piano players! Total class! And even more class if you know what the film was about!

  • erm.. I know a Russel Ferrante ...and well i prefer him .. :)

  • Even during all of the 60's other music came instrumental pieces that didn't necessarily have to have a hippie or psychedelic sound to be considered cool.

  • bankhead!

  • ...This is all about love and pity coming through Ferrante & Teicher's fingers... and

    what a beautiful gift they have given us... Thank You for the post and thanks You Tube!

  • Those Steinways sure respond to these guys' touch. They get beautiful tone, and can bring it down to a whisper, then roar with drama.

  • @RootsinBrooklyn those arent steinways...they are baldwin's.

  • @livingpiano

    Thanks. I stand corrected. You are absolutely right; those are indeed Baldwin pianos; (Guess I didn't really look when they showed those close-ups. ("Duh1") Somehow referring to pianos as 'Steinways' seems to have more of a ring, but....)

    Those Baldwins sure respond to the touch of these two pianists.

  • @RootsinBrooklyn :-) Baldwins are excellent, sturdy american pianos and both these guys had a thorough classical training...not just talent...but they were virtuoso's

  • Simply outstanding...................­

  • are these guys twins or is he playing in front of a mirror? Man i better lay off of the drugs..................

  • I'd give anything to be able to play even HALF as good as they do.

  • such an incredible song! it brings tears to my eyes... there are so many powerful and raw emotions in this piece! one of the greatest songs ever composed in our time

  • This is such a great song

  • I dig the "birth control" glasses.

  • We had this LP when I was a child. Huge influence.

  • OMG I love this song its such a beautiful peace!

  • Incredible song

  • wonderful post

  • @skatechatham I didn't notice anything wrong.

  • Wonderful!!!

  • This is the music I love. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely video.

  • Next year in Jerusalem

  • The Music I will hear when the Most High God, The One, opens the sky and our minds as We Greet Him, Our Mother,Eve, and The Alliance this May,2010. We will All Embrace and learn that this Age of Hell is over and the Owl is in the cage...

  • I just wish the beginning note or two wouldn't have been cut off. This is a beautiful arrangement.

  • gotta luv the announcer's voice :)

  • oy vey!

  • You gotta love those jackets!

  • @CofCGuy and those toupees :D

  • @CofCGuy hell yeah!

  • I remember this from the time the movie first came out, but I never knew that they were twins. Maskim Mrvica plays this solo very well.

  • Sorry, are you referring Ferrante & Teicher are twins or you were talking about someone else? If so I didn't know that either, I did research, found out they met while attending prestigious Juilliard School of Music, both were child prodigies, they struck up a fast friendship, performing together as a duo even while they were still in school. I love them, sad they are gone, but their music lives on. Hope to get response from you, thank you.

  • @2JamesGregory

    Ferrante and Teicher were not twins, but they were very much alike for over 70 years. What a partnership!

  • These two will live on forever, no high quality dual piano performers exist any more. The great singers, musicians, performers, and showmen that pass are not being replaced. We are left wanting!

  • They were the best!!!

  • You are very smart my friend - we have nothing out there !!

  • ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THEY'RE DEAD!? ARRGGHHHH.. i bought their record today. Its so awesome! SOOO AWESOME! I love these men and there music makes me feel so connected to them!

  • They are truly masters of the piano

  • are they dead?

  • @jtozuna yes Ferrante died this year and Teicher died last year (2008 & 2009)

  • Wondering--why would musicians of this caliber be playing Baldwin pianos.? I might have expected Steinways.

  • They did endorse Steinway until 1966. Baldwin offered them 2 matching SD-10 concert grands on every stage (180 a year)...at their expense. Steinway would not match the offer. F & T unloaded 12 pairs of Steinway D's and 4 moving vans! FACT!!

  • @351460 they are likely playing Baldwins because those were the pianos available in the studio that day for filming.

  • im speechless.. i feel like crying from feeling so much feelings in this song.. amazing ..

  • What a beautiful piece of music!

  • fantastic very good

  • This was an OK version.

    They've done much better in other recordings.

  • Well you might note they did not use their 60 piece orchestra & chorus...yeah...a little different.

  • I was a big fan of Ferrante, but I wasn't overly thrilled with Teicher!

  • lmao

  • wonderful! really liked it

  • Pat Boone wrote the lyrics to this song if you can believe that.

  • rest in peace both of you. beautiful music...always.

  • I heard the perform in about 1964, Exodus was their third encore. I have their autographs.

  • My father played the album, "Music for Lovers" over and over, usually on Sunday morning when a stack of LPs were placed on the turntable and played all the way through, I remember this tune well and can see my father sitting at the breakfast table with his cup of coffee.

  • I am now 50 years old but when I was a child my dad played Ferrante and Teicher 8-track tapes in our station wagon as our family headed out on various trips. Seeing this clip brings back great memories and makes me wish I had written the two musicians a letter to tell them how much our family enjoyed their music.

  • Great talents and what a song. Sadly Arthur Ferrante died yesterday, but this song is a great one to remember him by.

  • Not everyone.

  • Forget the dress, listen to the talent.

  • Their rendition of "Exodus" was my awakenig to beautiful screen music.

  • They are back playing music in heaven. R.I.P

  • They were AWESOME

    RIP both of you

  • Well, at least these 70's 'clowns' are creating real music unlike most of today's thrashy music!!!

  • so true indeed !  Could not agree more !

  • @scala4acorda These are not 70's clowns. When I was a kid "Born 1954" I heard this song on a 45 record. That had to be in the early 60's and it sounded better than this cut. Just to let you know.

  • @semrausky Maybe it sounded different because it was with their full orchestra?? ya think?

  • @semrausky So true not clowns at all. This is talent that is hard to find in this day and age. I still have the original 45.

  • @mech289 I wish I had half the talent these guys showed when they recorded Exodus. I try and play guitar these days and I would be a star with half of that talent. To pianoamerica the 45 was just them no body but them and 2 pianos. They also didn't have all the fancy equipment to go back and fix mistakes. Thanks for allowing me my "opinion".

  • @mech289 , Im a pianist but lemmi tel you...its not just talent, these guys had rigorous training in classical piano...like 6-7 hrs of practising evryday.

  • @scala4acorda

    holy! before I watched this I didn't even know such skill and beauty exists!

    gotta love this all life long

  • They were great musicians and very nice and gracious gentleman and you are an idiot for referring to them as clowns! You reveal your self to be a clown, a bozo, by your stupid comment!

  • @scala4acorda Actually these 70's clowns version of the Exodus Theme came out in 1960 and made Billboard's top list and I believe made it to the top ten.

  • @scala4acorda .... 'clowns' is the ignorant persons' expressios to label something they know nothihg about, nor wish to learn...

  • @scala4acorda .... 'clowns' is the ignorant persons' expression to label something they know nothihg about, nor wish to learn...

  • cool

  • Brilliant performance.

  • Being a corn feed country boy from Georgia born in 58....My introduction to this song was at a drive-in theater as was so many other fantastic movies of the period. A plain shame kids nowadays only have goofball reality TV and braindead movies with all the inspriation of emptying your bladder.

  • Brilliant performance of a very emotional piece of music! Ypu don't get talent like this nowadays!

    Tanx for posting!

  • Remember this from childhood, one of my parents favourites. Great tune with great atmosphere.

  • My last name is Ferrante, same spelling and everything. i wonder if i'm related??

  • thank you for sending me a link to this yeah, oh turn it up and float high. this gives a natural high~!

  • Good point; there is a posting of Mantovani's rendition of "Exodus". However it isn't a video as such. Just a picture of vinyl disc.

  • Ferrante and Teicher did a wonderful job with this, but in my mind , Mantovani is the master!

  • And where is his video?

  • How old are you? You know there was recorded music before there was video? Wake up! Not all older music has video!

  • amazing/touching!

  • kill the piano tuner, some of those notes were off and I bet those guys were furious with the tuner. I have their music and the sound in parts were not the same.

  • Notes were perfect...medium transfers have created a slight distortion in harmonics. F & T NEVER recorded on out of tune pianos!

  • Absolutely Awesome!!!! Priceless!!!

  • i love this song, its beautiful..

    it was played at my grandpas' funeral, i love to listen to it even though it makes me upset. ~r.i.p grandpa(U) x

  • I´m so sorry: I should have choosen a song for my father´s funeral, but I didn´t think about it. This would have been a good one.

  • emillllyx3 :

    one day soon when your hurt is gone, you will listen to this song again and smile :) and remember good times.

    always treasure this musical piece. it is beautiful !

  • Twin sons of different mothers.

  • How can that be???

  • They aren't twins or even related to one another. They just look alike in this video.

  • Wow dig those sideburns....hahhahahah

    Good ol' 70s for sure...

    GREATTTTTTTTTT MUSICCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!!

  • It is amazing how I feel the same way I did when I first heard this when I was young. How sad is it that you cannot easily find their music in stores. Our younger generation has missed so much.

  • d artists before, in all fairness, did have that dexterity, skill, flair for creative musical arrangement..n they play d instrument w/o d aid of technological backups, straightforward pure talent..virtuoso..F/T, Liberace, Van Cliburn,Deodato, Bill Evans, carmen cavallero, jose feliciano, les paul,..-incomparable real legends, innate perfections..

  • Because they look so much alike I assumed they were twins..hence the twin pianos of Ferrante and Teicher. Nope...looked it up Ferrante was born in 1921 and Teicher in 1924. As a disc jockey in Saskatoon in the 60's this was one of my favourites.

  • These guys were always great. I saw them perform at Adrian College (MI) in the mid 1960's. What amazed me during the concert was how the music from two pianos could sound like a whole orchestra. A truly wonderful experience.

  • this is the best song. i so wish i could play like that.

    shit, i wish i had a piano that nice lol

  • To me , their interpetation of "Can you read my mind?" is the best. Someday I will post in youtube.

  • Que maravilla escuchar esta musica, creci escuchando los pianos de Ferrante & Teicher, me encanta, felicidades a youtube y gracias a Showmanlee....

  • I love to workout to this piece. I focus better and it fills my soul!

  • treadmill? I put this song on durung about 1 1/2 miles on the treadmill.great tune, makes me old @ 56 but that is what it is.......

  • Louis Teicher is my father's Louis Taicher's 2nd Cousin. When my great grandfather came to America from romania he changed the spelling.

  • Que bonita interpretacion, algun dia llegare a tocarla.

  • I have no idea but, if it's a compliment, I TOTALLY AGREE

  • lol!!! hahahahahhaha

    spitoperez says "what a lovely song, someday i'll have the skills to play it"

  • There will be no better song in this world for the next thousand years I think.

    I really LOVE it.

  • sencillamente espectacular, la mejor musica, el mejor tema, maravilloso

  • This was the first record I bought, over 40 years ago. And still the best.  Superb.

  • That's funny.  First record I ever purchased was "Tonight" by F&T.

  • beautiful

  • Oh my . . god! I grew up hearing this song, but never with just the two pianos. I always wondered about that long treble to bass run near the end of the song. I am so glad to finally see it. I always thought it was a chromatic, possibly with 2 hands, but I could never play it. Thanks so much :)

  • awesome,Always was a big fan of F&T,G-D bless em',RIP LOU TEICHER

  • Ferrante & Teicher's "Exodus" WAS #1 for 2 weeks on Cashbox...which at the time was larger and more respected than Billboard Magazine...on which it reached the #2 position for several weeks.

  • Thank you to Ferrante and Teicher for sharing your talent with us. I was always amazed and fascinated with what you could do with the piano.  Rest in peace Mr. Teicher.

  • From the August 8, 2008 New York Times....

    Lou Teicher, half of the piano duo Ferrante & Teicher, whose florid and sentimental versions of movie themes and love songs made them gods of easy listening and earned them wide popularity beginning in the 1960s, died on Sunday in Highlands, N.C. He was 83 and lived in Sarasota, Fla.

  • We'll miss you, Lou. I have all of your records. Thanks you for everything.

  • Oy, I'll bet they drove the down-stairs neighbors nuts!

  • No one lived above or below them...you should have been so fortunate.

  • RIP Teicher. You played some great music.

  • Instrumental briefly hit number 1 in 1961. Outstanding posting and rendition of a hard to find classic.

  • Great performance with their respective pianos.

  • ahnold posed to this music at the 1980 mr. olympia , many bodybuilders have since used it to pose with, very dramatic and soul moving

  • Oh my god it is so beautiful ... wow.

  • My husband can play this on the piano. I think it was one of things that made me fall in love with him lol
