  • 39 Asians can play this better than Yngwie Malmsteen.

  • IF YOU GO ON-----YOUTUBE-24 CAPRICIO---YOULL EASYLI FAUND 2-3 GIRLS, which with classical(proper)tehnique, play 24CAPRICIOof PAGANINI,and not just a part,BUT THE WHOLE CAPRICIO,till last note!!!!---IM SHURE THAT,if YJM SO THIS GIRLS,HE WOULD BE AMAZED---THEY PLAY 24 CAPRICIO SO PERFECT,that EVEN PAGANINI HIM SELF WOULD BE AMASED------!BASTIAN-SLO

  • Why is Blackmore puttin' this guy down? Ok, he had a conerto for a Group & orchestra too, but I don't think Yngwie was a guy to put down, espcially when Ynwie gave his credits to Rithcie. This is a kind of performance I haven't seen from anybody.. Except Steve Seve Vai...

  • This is so freakin' awesome. God, I hope to be just like this guy one day.

  • EIN REICH,EIN STATD,EIN FHURER,ONE MALMSTEEN(JOKE)

  • Enjoyable work but if it's not a fugue, then please don't call it a fugue. Probably titled by whoever calls Tommy a rock opera even though it's a song cyle, not an opera at all. Or people who call anything orchestral a symphony (i.e. saying "I am going to the symphony" especially when a symphony will not even be played).

  • @phillipprill That's often the case, but symphonies are finding less and less use these days because technology is getting to the point that you can imitate a good portion of a symphony if not the whole thing altogether. Of course you can't ever replace the technical skill involved with some of the stuff, but it's the trend. besides symphany.ochestra-like is something in common internet culture, and will probably stay despite the truth of the matter.

  • Doesn't gel with the strings.

  • ...what a douche bag. I hated him before, now, i loath him. BTW...this isn't a fugue...You can't just compose something that sounds baroqie and call it a fugue.

  • @MrJamesBP Really? Why the fuck do you hate him? His not a douche bag, but rather one of the world's biggest virtuoso guitar players. Plus, his compositions show pure genius.

  • Who was that guy? Paganini? The devils musician. Great played. Never mind the "stiffupperlips" comments delivered. A talent is a talent! Recognize!

  • @heavenlyboy34 @xxxthehooplexxx

    And Bach did once call someone pedantic for not "daring" to have episodes and countersubjects. It definitely is not Bach haha. Nevertheless, an impressive orchestral arrangement for a metal player.

  • okay so basically he rips off bach and puts it on guitar. big whoop.

  • The best musical piece I've ever heard in my life

  • ok, but still, David Gilmour > Malmsteen

  • Where I can get this concert in so awsome video quality?

  • what? this whole shit is awful. can't you all here how false and disharmonic this whole performance is? it's horrible.

  • I know nothing about music theory, so I have no idea when you guys argue about this and that, all I know is I enjoy what I hear, and that's that!

  • I am not an Yngwe fan but must say that this composition is not half bad. It is very Bach inspired of course and it must be said that all the musicians in the orchestra had to be payed extra to keep a straight face when he presented his outfit....sacré Yngwe some day someone is going to have to explain the anachronistic aspects of his outfits i.e. there were no Ferrari's in the Baroque age:)

  • Motherfucking God of Guitar *-*

  • only Asians can work together with Malmsteen

  • This is truly beautiful.

  • when Im listening to this< I realize how great was J.S.Bach !!! His influence is still heard 300 years later!!! My respect, Malmsteen!

  • 35 connard ki ne connaisse pa Yngwie Malmsteen kil aille se faire voir yngwie malmsteen c un pro c pa comme ses 35 connar la ki savent pa écouter cette jolie mélodie et lapréccier

  • looks like a fat bach

  • Always knew he was a Tom & Jerry fan.

  • WOW!!!NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE

  • The guys a genius, he might be a prick but you cannot deny his great talent \m/

  • I rented this dvd from netflix and was very glad I watched it...Excellent performance from ALL involved...Especially my fave guitarist yeah!!

  • Damn.. This tune alot of 3rd sequences... I dig it :)

  • @ 3:42 Brown-haired guy's asleep

  • this is so epically awesome... that and malmsteen looks like a swashbuckling pirate

  • This is dvd quality at best. just converting that doesn't reall make it 1080p now does it ;)

  • Heaven tonight and Deja vu are the only ones that he did that I care about. He is one of the best but when he plays this neo classical stuff the way he plays it it all sounds the same.

  • Pretty cool, but I'm not convinced this is a fugue. That's a pretty specific musical form.

  • @Daim0th correct, it is not a true fugue. This would more accurately be called a "fugue fantasia".

  • @heavenlyboy34 I'd say it should be called a concerto for electric guitar and strings. lol there's no counterpoint in this whatsoever

  • @xxxthehooplexxx There's plenty of counterpoint throughout in the common, theory book sense. There's a clear subject as traditional fugues have, but from there, its resemblence to a true fugue ends. 

  • @heavenlyboy34 Yeah there's a main theme, I hear that. I just fail to see where the counterpoint comes in. It just sounds like Malmsteen soloing over the orchestra. I can't hear 2 or more distinct melodies.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx Exactly. That's why it's more accurately called a fugue fantasia. Lots of contrast between "exposing" the subject and free counterpoint (the fancy solos). Not even all "standard" fugues have a countersubject-but those are more the exception than the rule. Hope this is clear. I'm more in the business of composing than teaching. :)

  • @heavenlyboy34 no no it's clear. Yeah you are technically correct. I'm not a complete novice to this kind of stuff. I'm just being hard on Malmsteen I guess. Cause there's only a few instances where hes playing something that actually sounds worked out and cool in this context (in my opinion) of this "fugue fantasia".

  • he's wearing Jerry Seinfeld's  puffy shirt

  • lo amo lo amo lo amo!! :DD

  • timing?

  • @MetalSweden I noticed this too. Probably just too in the zone to care about the orchestra :L

  • A dificuldade que o Malmsteen tem com a guitarra, é semelhante a que o Pelé tinha para dominar a bola.

    Animal !!!

  • Música clássíca e guitarra, casamento perfeito.

    Isso é tudo de bom !!!

  • i am very pleased with this, but i bet the people in the crowd who expected violins probably were not.

  • Guitar virtuoso, love this guy.

  • If all you a-holes can do is rip on it.. go watch something else. No one wants to hear your shite. Let those of us who enjoy it, enjoy it without your idiotic two cents worth. If you are the so called effing experts YOU go write and play something and post it to youtube. If not just shut the "F" up and go away.

  • This is pretty cool. Just a couple of things to note though. First off this is not a fugue at all so I don't know what is up with the title. Malmsteen is a great player and metal writer. However you guys have to understand, he IS a metal player not a classical player. Just because you rip up and down a harmonic minor scale doesn't mean your the next Bach. The style of this is somewhat reminiscent of baroque music. But the form is lacking completely. All I'm saying is that if this was released

  • @xxxthehooplexxx In the late 1600's early 1700's, Bach and Handel would laugh there faces off at the ridiculous of cliched harmonic minor runs and lack of structure lol.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx You are mostly right, but by definition, it is a fugue, period.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx Your definitely right when you say he isn’t a classical player (though he does play classical music, but that in itself doesn’t make him a classical player), but as far as Neo-Classical goes, he’s numero uno.

  • @PBANDSNOW I agree, he already said he can't fit into the classical Category, he's in the middle ground. He has however helped create what Neo-Classical is today as a genre, and is indeed the best at it despite his constant bouts of carpal tunnels.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx Thank you for understanding music. I also enjoy Malmsteen but the problem with other people is that they like great musicians for the wrong reasons.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx ok Mozart :|

  • @MrSezze hah I do love Mozart not going to lie. Not in the sense I think hes better than anyone else, I just love his music.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx Who gives a shit? Seriously, stfu.

  • @xxxthehooplexxx You're right - but I'm sure the term was used very loosely in that subjects are repeated in different keys on different instruments - but absolutely not a Fugue in the Baroque sense.

  • what yjm did for el.guitar could be similar in what HIGHTS------PAGANINI DID,COMPARING HIM WITH VIVALDI!!!!!!!!SAME shit in what hights MALMSTEEN PUSHED BLACKMOORES TEHNIQUE!!!YJM HAS EARNED TO BE INSCRIPT IN MUSICAL HISTORY BOOKS,like ritchie,hendriks AND JUST FEW OTHERS!

  • His composition is very derivative borrowing both from Bach and Paganini:(

  • dude!, neoclassical is the best style ever!!!!

  • Gran Maestro.

  • god bless you

  • Way to rush the tempo, bro.

  • man, this is genius, great, amazing... don't understand why people come here to hate when we come here to enjoy good music...

  • I played tag with the Moose & wrestle the Moose & pinned the Moose but I could Not handle licking tongues with the Moose I think the Moose was eating something other than Blueberries.

  • Not a fugue

  • @toogoodbw Yes it is?

  • @tompascoew How is this a fugue? There was not even a proper exposition.

  • @toogoodbw Agreed. A pastiche of trite cliches. The vocal parts were particularly lame.

  • I do agree that the 32nd notes seem unnecessary. But if you can show off like that, then why not?

  • @TheMeanHooker Because it's not necessary. Not only it is unnecessary, it spoils the music.

    Bach used speed seamlessly with the rest of the piece. Malmsteen shoves speed in your face, it's like he's constantly doing a pissing contest with the rest of the world.

    If you enjoy it, power to you. To each his own. But just because you can play fast, it doesn't mean EVERYTHING you do MUST be fast.

    And I'm not retarded. I just got bored with pointless displays of speed. Besides, he could use a metronome

  • Are you all retarded? Music may not have to be fast to be good, but it can, haven't you heard Bach's Toccata and fugue in d minor? That's fast as fuck, and if transcribed to guitar it requires all kinds of sweeps (arpeggios) and tapping.

    By the way, I'm majoring in music at wichita state university.

  • @TheMeanHooker

    The problem is not the velocity. But to be in a place with not necessity. The suavity of the others instruments is damaged by his aggressive guitar. He doesn't know nothing about dynamic and "andamento".

  • @edsontravassos

    and you don't know anything about rock, bitch.

  • @edsontravassos

    They are lucky to GET the PRIVILEGE to play with a guitar player, without him, they would be MEH.

  • this guy has no sense. The music its beautiful besides him...

    He has no feelings. I believe that he doesn't understand the meaning of the song. His screamer guitar (terrible sound) is a insult to the sensibility of ours ears. Music is not a velocity competition. Its art. May be he would be more happy with his ferraris, or as a type machine... Sorry, Yngwie. But its a honest opinion.

  • @edsontravassos

    stfu spammer

  • I REALLY WONDER WHAT A TRUE GENIUS LIKE MOZART WOULD THINK OF THIS

  • @JackDawsonRMS

    Ask Maynard James Keenen or Ozzy, those are the closest living musicians to someone like Mozart.

  • @DrSmokeTrees Did you just compare Ozzy Osbourne with Mozart? What the fuck?!

    Even MJK. And he's one of my favorite vocalists ever. Seriously, do you know nothing about music?!

  • all these japanese, and a european

  • Very impressive. But what would be even more impressive, is if Yngwie composed the music for the orchestra.

  • @vOuijaa

    Prepare to be impressed. He wrote EVERYTHING you hear from scratch by himself. The entire orchestra is playing what he wrote, and the choir is singing what Yngwie told them to sing. Even the conductor is following Yngwie's lead, which is actually an achievment in itself.

  • @mcintyreftw That's great! I have so much more respect for him now as a musician.

  • @mcintyreftw According to the interview he did with Guitar World magazine, he didn't write it out in the traditional manner. He had help from his keyboardist and several others. He doesn't understand orchestration well enough to do it all himself (or didn't at the time this was created)

  • @mcintyreftw really.. wow!!

  • @mcintyreftw don't you love when people say yngwie doesn't play 'music'?... dumb people

  • @vOuijaa He Did

  • ez beszarás ez gitározás felsőfokon

  • he so looks like a pirate xD

  • I can't watch this without thinking of StSanders.

  • 1:56 Wow take this!!

  • In Soviet Russia, yngwie is god

  • would be better without the douche.

  • Nah,the Japs love him.

  • considering the musicians in the orchestra are japanese, they probably appreciate a great guitar player and are able to pick up his sound from of a big bunch of guitarists

  • As Vai says "The audience is listening", and that's all that matters. Great stuff that Malmsteen produces..

  • @moopsypoo The audience doesn't matter. 99% know shit about music. If Beethoven or the others had tried to please their audience we would've had pop music 200+ yrs ago. What matters is the creator of the music. That is all that matters.

  • lol how is this a fugue

  • and maybe some of the audience don't know anything about music they just like it:)))

  • @toomanygittars They are all musicians,they know only a genius like Yngwie can write songs like that~!

  • magari xar toooooooooooooooo

  • Malmsteen is great, but speed has never equalled musicality

  • Finally! The Seinfeld "Puffy Shirt" is introduced to a wide audience. Take that, Jerry!

  • i don't seem to understand why he has to constantly show off. he needs to slow down, especially for a piece such as this one in which precision is key. the 32nd and 16th notes have no need to exist in this piece

  • Wow he rushed it so much just to make his runs seem faster... a very good technical player but he doesn't seem to have much musicality in this video.

  • Do the choir really needs a book to sing "aah" ?

  • @celuiquipuequipete They have to know which aah to sing :)

  • He's starting to really look like one of the founding fathers. His face will be on money next.

  • @toomanygittars

    I think the same. For some reason i think classical musicians are taught to be strict and perfect. Meanwhile Malmsteen in just playing w/e he feels like.

  • @Havellard 뭐래 번역기 쓰지 마라 양키야 ㅋㅋ

  • SPICATO, RETACATO, MONTO VIVATO A TEMPO

  • more than amazing.Good job,the music is still living

  • i am the 666th people to like this video, hell yea

  • 1:22 Shit. You don't have to rub it in like that, man.

  • @BattleSnails yeah really. lol. 1:45-1:55 gets me going every time. I absolutely love that part. so clean, precise, fast, and interesting to listen to.

  • My god........Yngwie,,awesome man,any one who insult ya,let them be damned in hell,,U A GODXX

  • as a guitarist i dont think electric guitars should be played like a violin in an orchestra. kashmir by led zeppelin is a good song for rock orchestra

  • he has been blessed by the gods i tell you.... BY THE GODS!

  • really good but this piece of music is not a fugue

  • @reinehcreinehc first of all, a fugue isn't a piece of music, it's a part of a composition in which a part plays, usually the melody, and another repeats, starting on a different pitch. While you are correct this piece is not a fugue (probably because it's not possible) it does contain one.

  • @reinehcreinehc it sort of is. the violins begin the theme and yngwie joins in at the end. the theme is repeated by both instrument sections at various points throughout the composition. it's not as cut and dry as say "Fuguetta" (Yngwie's cover of Bach's "Fugue in G Minor BWV 578"), but I think it counts. I could be wrong though.

  • 1080P in 2000 ???

  • even though he is dressed like he should be in the pirates of the caribbeani still think he is amazing

  • What the haters fail to realize is that Yngwie wrote all the music for this orchestra. Not to mention the only way you can play in Japan for their orchestra is if your a musical genius. I bet all those people in the orchestra started playing at like 2. You wanna hear suckage go listen to Lil Wayne.

  • Amazing! Love it!

  • As a guitar player, I think this sounds cool of course.

    But I can't help wondering what those musicians behind him think...

    Maybe they think it's totally awful? Maybe the conductor thinks Yngwie's timing is all over the place? Maybe the violinists thinks his vibrato is terrible?

  • @toomanygittars They get paid... But still, I get your arguments. He's not in sync with them at all at some places too

  • @Christianholt911 of course he can't be in sync with them, they're asians

  • @MetaICowboy 미친 양키새끼가 ㅋㅋ

  • @MetaICowboy hahah word

  • @toomanygittars I tottaly have the same questions, with the exception that I don't find this cool, but chaos and shred. But i'm one of the ppl that never liked YM in the first place, but I respect his style and education.

  • @toomanygittars his timing does kinda seem off a little sometimes, but i can not even imagine how difficult this is

  • @toomanygittars The same classical guitar player usually think of those who play electric guitar. Apart from some of them (Michael Romeo is the first that comes to my mind) you can see strange hands positions, fingerpicking techniques and such.

    The beautiful thing about this concerto, is how different worlds can be melted together in hybrid compositions like this. I love it.

  • @toomanygittars

    They'll at least be wondering why he called this a fugue. :P

  • @toomanygittars They can think whatever they want, and as talented as I'm sure they all are. The best musician in that room is Yngwie.

  • @toomanygittars The answer is this: They are thinking:"We get to play another concert, because we are selling tickets." Whatever is on the sheet, we play, we get paid, we go home. That's the beginning and ending of it. :) You see NY symphony players backing up some three chord diva on Letterman all the time. they don't care. Mind you, they always hire pretty young violinists.

  • @toomanygittars They think his puffy shirt makes him look like a pirate.

  • @toomanygittars Maybe we think you're a fucking tool?

  • @toomanygittars

    They had goddamn better think it kicks ass. 

  • yngwie is god!

  • *O*!! awesome!!

  • what a terrible violation of music.

  • It gets quite boring after about a minute...

  • @KitchenMarshall indeed.

  • Is there a full concert on YouTube or another website?

  • Yngwie is a great guitar player but i don't really think he complemented this orchestra in this performance of this song

  • hey hes not asian

  • Metal's Mozart

  • I bet Yngwie didn't eat much rice while he was there the fat hamburger loving guitar god that he is

  • Can anyone explain why people have scalloped frets?

  • @jacksonbaker94 Its so that your fingers don't meet any resistance on the fretboards. It lets you play faster.

  • @Rorschachtoo

    well but as yngwie said himself it's not easier to play fast, it makes bendings more easier, I have a scalloped fretboard and yjm strat it's amazing but you have to get common with fretboard but after 1-2 days you will freakn love it !!! ;)

  • @Rorschachtoo

    DOESN'T make you play faster.

  • hie must of shopped the same place rick james did.

  • @frankenstein103087 quite the opposite. rick james got his swag from a guitar god

  • @Seanstadify lol

  • notice how hes the only non asian one there

  • this dude even wore the classical era clothing too aha

  • @nickDOTbloc no thats just what he wears lol

  • gluttony...

  • I love the facial expressions he makes. It looks as if he really feels the music. Some people say Yngwie is all shred, no soul. No way. He's a modern day Vivaldi or Bach, Mozart even. The man is a genius, combining unrivalled talent with pure heart and soul.

    I'll be a fan for the rest of my life, always working towards being as good as him.

  • @TrashDeviant Mozart was considered "too notey," Lol. So I think Mozart is a good reference.

  • the Duke of Malmsteen has pretty wicked boots on lol...

  • perfetto!!!!!!!!!

    

  • scalloped?

  • the quality is shitty and amazing at the same time!

  • bbababababababababababaabbaa
