[vazmo14850]

the tempo and expression is perfect

[veraatsokol78]

[ilSagitdeMoi]

yo tambien la cuento entre las cosas por las que quiero continuar viviendo.

[Agnostyx13]

Wonderful .

[patrudel]

So beautiful.

[MrGakn]

This makes Woody Allen's life worth living.

[edoardoruggeri1]

Manhattan brought me here. Thank you, Woody

[corbain1]

[nzulo79]

@edoardoruggeri1 me too!!!!!

[n00bMonkel]

@edoardoruggeri1 Same.

[kokomanation]

this symphony along with piano concerto 21 are my favourite musical works ever

[Concertanti]

One thing I've always loved about Mozart, which a lot of people seem to just not notice, is how there is an element of sensuality, and sometimes even violence, that sneaks up on you, and catches you off guard.. 4:00 to 5:02 is an excellent example of this. Takes my breathe away, if you can forgive the cliche. ;)

[BeUrself0897]

Breathtaking.

[SunshineInWoods]

Why is life worth living? It's a very good question. Um... Well, There are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. uh...[..]the 2nd movement of the Jupiter Symphony... (W. Allen in Manhattan). Uno dei motivi per cui vale la pena vivere, secondo Woody.

[paradoxicus]

El resultado ahí está.¡Enorme interpretación!.

[davlor86]

i may sound weird, but i personally like more this movement than the first one...(from this Symphony)

[parabat7]

I was in the chorus for Jeffrey's fabulous Fidelio in Geneva in the late 80's. Bloody Gefangerchor where we all appear from underground onto stage - always total chaos. I fall badly and sing bleeding like a pig (tenor so frontish row). Who turns up à la pause to do dressing but Tate - worry not he says I am a doctor but not of music - and he is a doctor of medicine (Cambridge) I found out later

[madero111]

Umm this piece is so alive and moves along just the way i like it.

Damn......Mozart is the only composer that everything he wrote sounds good.

[davlor86]

so damn right about that

[solitudeseeker]

There is something so eerie about the strings from 3:56 - 4:37. It's lovely, but so odd that it gives me the shivers...

[madero111]

Jeffrey and his "crew" really have their groove on this day. I really like listening to this set, and the video grooves too.

Gracias again Ernesto!

[madero111]

Aww man i like the way Jeffrey conducts; it's as if he is continually sweeping up everyone and keeping them all together within his groove.

Watch Jeffrey's eyes and arms, his whole mien is that "this is to be enjoyed", "so come groove with me"!

I am on my 2nd listening of this set.........

Come mellow out with Jeffrey!

Ernest, thank you for this.

[almaesperanza63]

wow mozart is beautiful i love you mozart adere your  music mozart is the best composer clasic

[killerfurby1]

Simply beautiful

:-)

[jpandyaraja]

this one always keels me over

[RodCornholio]

AliceXx93,

That man is the CONDUCTOR.

[billythekid20]

@RodCornholio

right, and the others are the orchestra:p

[AliceXx93]

the composer looks funny :P

[Silverlin212]

I sense that you're a retard.

[specialmike140]

my spidey senses detect a pseudo intellectual

[in1pieces]

AliceXx93 LOL! conductor to composer :/ And he does'nt look funny! Looks weird. real defination abnormal. But I'm not insulting him or anything he's damn good at his job. Btw i'm the same age as you :D

[FabioPBarbieri]

the reason why Jeffrey Tate "looks funny" is that he is disabled - spina bifida, I believe - and conducts from a wheelchair. Music is kind to disabled persons, and many top musicians of the present and the past have been disabled, beginning with Beethoven.

[Garpinator]

@AliceXx93 Jeffrey Tate, the conductor, suffers from a congenital spinal deformity. (Severe scoliosis) and is performing in excruciating pain.

[briguyhackins]

Maybe its just the sync on this clip but I find the conductor hard to follow---the musicians make it work though

[justaguy150]

Agreed. Plus it's a tad slow for my taste.

[logodaedalist]

Oh, Mozart,imortal Mozart!

[TerrierBram]

One of the best pieces Mozart ever made, to me. A piece in which he seems to experimenting with a post Classic style. One of the most beautiful music I know.

[mirob3]

WOW mozart, and I thought I was a music snob

[beethomozart]

excelsis andante cantabile,it´s mozart´s greatest symphony,no doubt,perhaps equalled with the 40th,long live mozart

[Treehugger8900]

they zoomed into the oboe player, awesome, I play oboe :)

[angelbleuroses]

It's so wonderfully

played I

absolutly love

it.

[clevernickname70]

profound.

[Paolom86]

Great, Sublime, I don`t know why with Britney spears or Aguilera we can't feel the same.

[oceandwell]

What a piece.

And just a note:

I want that conducter at my birthday party.

[medea347]

lol!

[dan020350]

some how i feel the music is all wrong. the key notes are the same but the spirit of mozart is not there. Similar a cover song vs the original

[iluvnibbles]

great. i have to play the first violin part for my grade 6 violin and its freaking difficult. I take my hat off to all of them!!!

[thelightisahead]

What a privilege to be able to play it though! I'd love to be grade six, I'm only coming up to grade 3 at the moment (though doing some grade 4 pieces), and I'm 17! I started about 15 months ago. Keep playing! :)

[Rinakra]

why are they all men? and french horns rock.

[ernestalba]

Great observation. Like most realms of intellectual thought, the music world is built upon patriarchal rules that make it practically impossible for women to participate without showing near superhuman ability. That's why when you see a woman conducting or performing, you know she's worked hard to get where she is.

[saltyseaweed]

@ernestalba

What are those patriarchal rules of intellectual community that makes it difficult for women to participate?

[ernestalba]

@saltyseaweed - Some research for you is in order. I suggest you google "women orchestras." Suffice to say here that women are grossly underrepresented in orchestras because of legacy rules, the importance of "knowing the right person," an emphasis on "community," and sometimes simple and blatant prejudice. A Harvard study has found that when orchestras used screened auditions (in which you couldn't see the person), the percentage of women being hired rose from 30% to 55%.

[saltyseaweed]

@ernestalba

How is an emphasis on "community (whatever that means)" against females?

Any good female orchestras you'd recommend?

One thing I can think of is performance can be a very physical task and women in average can lag behind men in physical endurance. Maybe this is why there aren't as many women tuba or saxophone players as men?

[ernestalba]

@saltyseaweed: "Emphasis on community" means that members of an orchestra must develop a rapport, since they are working closely together. The presence of women causes social problems for men-dominated orchestras; jealousy, anger and arguments flare up. To your request, I know of NO major women's orchestras. Community orchestras tend to have many women, and I encourage you to support the groups in your community because women are just as good as performers as men and deserve recognition.

[saltyseaweed]

@ernestalba

Ha, are you suggesting women are free of jealousy, anger and arguments? =)

Well, no doubt many orchestras are male-dominated and maybe community rapport thing is being used to discriminate against women. But I see nothing wrong with the requirement itself. Orchestra members should work together in harmony. . .

[ernestalba]

@saltyseaweed: You're right, it's very important that orchestra members are able to work together in harmony. But since BOTH men and women are prone to being jealous or argumentation, ALL musicians should hold themselves up to a higher standard of professionalism, and orchestras should NOT exclude people based on gender.

[saltyseaweed]

@ernestalba

I agree with you completely. I'm rather shocked that this is apparently a serious problem at this day and age.  Life is too short for that kind of nonsense.

[madero111]

@saltyseaweed Hey why don't you two get a room!

[ernestalba]

Though they aren't all men, and, in fact, Tate did a lot to advance the career of one of the great modern pianists Mitsuko Uchida.

[danubis077]

CRANK THAT SUIJA BOY!!!!!!

[suhzjeck09]

STFU...This is classical..not freaking hip hop..hip hop for the people dont have a life..go get a life

[LaBambola22]

I think the conductor must have some kind of back problem - probably scoliosis... otherwise looks and sounds great

[violalord1]

uhhhhhh. Anyone notice the conductors tux. Yeah, just wanted to point that out.

[Rinakra]

lol. i did. is he like sitting down or something? he looks pretty weird.

[DHAR3070]

kyphosis and spina bifida, according to wikipedia

[losgatosnegros]

they all look crowded and uncomfortable. but they still managed to create some of the loveliest sounds ever composed. this is my favorite movement :)

[johntgr]

I want to listen to the 1st mov. so baaaad!

[ernestalba]

Ha, okay, you got it.

[johntgr]

oooh thank u very much! im too happy!

[johntgr]

hey where is the first movement of this?

[ernestalba]

Ahh, brilliant observation. You're the first to mention it. The Allegro vivace is longer than ten minutes, so without a Director's account I'm unable to upload it.

[johntgr]

ooh what a pity..but look I have the solution! Break it in two parts with Windows Movie Maker...

[nktnno]

Great! who is the author?

[ernestalba]

I hope I understand your question. Mozart wrote this in 1788.

[nktnno]

SURE!Mozart! Now I remember where I listened it!During a concert I conducted some years ago! :-)
