William Orbit - Ravel's Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte

[UfoFrilla]

Ferry did a nice job remixing this. He didn´t destroy the original. Both are great.

[Dan474834]

Oh fuck you... Just go look at the orchestral version, as written by Ravel. Leave your phofia to classical music to one side, and go listen to truly meaningful music.

There are many wonders hidden under the "taboo" of classical music.

Check out:

Gustav Mahler Adagietto - Bernstein

La Valse Ravel - Bernstein

Gustav Mahler 2nd Symphony Finale

Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber

Liszt - Liebestaum 3

Schubert Impromptu 3 - Alfred Brendel

[MegapPlayer]

[tochru]

@MegapPlayer

nothing? r u dumb or something?

[technofurry4ever]

Truly a remarkable song. Ferry Corsten has made this into a Masterpiece! I Haven't heard this since 2008, but even in 2011, its still one-hell of a track! :D Love it

[TerryHenson]

@technofurry4ever i agree 100 percent....i have it recorded on DVR...i heard it one day on Sirius.........great track.........ive looked everywhere and cant find a place to buy this track

[airmaxflavour]

its so indescribable beautiful, trance fill my life since this masterpiece <3

[19aalexx]

best song ever! in those times with VIVA you never bored!

[lektroluv76]

2000, just before W.Bush and the beginnng of the first decade of terror. God I miss it like it was before 2001

[ASFE1]

just amazing!!!!!!

[retriviir]

Невероятна мелодия, изумяващо,,, оставя те замислен, страхотно

[ICK369]

i want to hear this song before my life ends

[Martiiin2008]

Sad, sweet, love, death, tears...

[qrk880]

No tiene porque haber letra y cantante para ser una canción, es genial, maravillosa

[bolizdor]

its not so good as orginal.

[wincent26]

piękny

[BALT10]

great sound!!

[mountainharry]

Beautiful music by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

and Raped by william orbitt and killed by ferry corsten.

Why they are not in jail?

Hope you both get cancer

[Razboj]

@mountainharry HaHa well said :)

[DrBassdrum]

One of the best trance remixes Ferry Corsten ever made!!! Masterpiece!!!

[cvhdrd]

the melody is incredible

[skifi1]

masterpiece

[bastje]

Dont like the video but like the sound :)

[lyricaltones]

Poor Ravel. Sorry, I dislike doing that with classical pieces, absolutely mismatched.

[1dottydalt]

@lyricaltones I disagree it opens the minds to so many people who would have never heard of this classical piece before.

[lepelek]

yea, it's nice mix. but it's lost his soul

original version can say u more then that version

try to check "Dash Berlin - Waiting (feat. Emma Hewitt)" from 1:41,it's also electronical :( but it has some soul inside!

[0utshined1]

If you listen to the original version over this images it fits much more beautifully than this remix, which i think it's not even close to what the orchestral version can make you feel

[gilesestram]

i see what you mean but Trance records have an image in our minds as to what they would be like via video,and whilst this does not fit at first,you soon start to associate the melodies with sad occasions,once viewed a few times.However,i would not have this played at my funeral !

[tahcion]

it doenst fit with video

it supposed to be some happy occasion, like birth or something like that. not funeral and crying.

i would make a video with, lets say, sun and beach, or universe and stars wih lots of colours.

wasted, but what the heck

shut down video, and listen audio.

sensational, beautiful, amazing, emotional, fantastic, banging...

[PowerRedBull]

I totally love trance versions of classical pieces. It just adds rythm and maybe a bit more power to a beautiful melody. Not all remixes are great (not all melodies lend themself for this either) but if it's done well, It can give beautiful result

[Fuliginosus]

Ew!

[mountainharry]

yes, a bad bad shadow

[mountainharry]

Kill this man

[guldklimp]

The film is good, but i really hate when people remake a beautiful classical piece to something like this...If it had been the original pavane pour une infante defunte, i would defenitely give you 5 stars!

[tranceguy11]

Surry but i have 2 disagree... This trance version from Ferry is maybe even better than the original. Ferry made the remix with respect unlike many other artists who do remixes. Ferry always does.

[guldklimp]

We all have different opinions, and i totally respect yours, even though i don't agree

[tranceguy11]

You may disagree but u just can't say it's bad cause it aint...

[SergioNigma]

I agree with you, Ferry made a great remix, and doing this made posible to lot of young people to know the classical music!!!

[MrLYN274]

Mitica William !!!

[thoooOmas]

Did someone in here eventually see Ravel play or are you just masturbating on CD's?

[AVDuran]

What a perfect marriage of video to music. Well done....

[nebula47]

transcendant lol ...

[Hennebucker]

Folks, this discussion is moot. The guy uses the melody twice to decorate some humpin' pumpin' stuff - so what? If I was all ripped out on a dance floor and heard that melody I'd be excited that I could name the tune for a change. This will never rob the original piano or orchestral adaptations of their beauty or depth so please chill out.

[mountainharry]

Ferry, You don't have any idee about the Pavane.

Keep your fingers off it.

It's like rape a young beautifull girl.

awfull

[blvtgraf]

Cállate, imbécil. Hay que destruir la cultura si queremos crear cultura. Pero no una cultura basada en el conservadurismo, en la defensa del pasado -del academicismo del pasado-, sino una cultura propiamente moderna.

Si tuvieras una visión global respecto a la cultura, y no una elitista, podrías apreciar que esta canción es sublime, y punto

[meparadis]

check out the samuelzone remix of this track pretty insane!

[genicidegt]

as usual..ferry pulls off an incredible remix

[TokoWardi]

Full On Ferry 2008 #66/67 :D

[karlletourneau]

Je suis d'accord,

c'est n'importe quoi!

[a1mint]

The music doesn't go with the video at all!

It's like it's some sort of death promo or something. Like it's cool to cause pain in a village. Weird.

[henrymarkstewart10]

the original 'mix' is actually a classical piece of music and the story it's supposed to tell is about a dead princess, that's why the video is what it is

[SoundLift]

If Maurice Ravel was alive today he certainly would make Trance music :D

Cause Trance is this !!! Emotion !!!

It´s Impossible not to like a masterpiece like this.

I hope modern trance producers learn from the past and that we are not in a lowdness war but in an emotional one!

Trance is more than music it´s life itself!

[ignoblius]

If Maurice Ravel was alive, he would call this for the machine-generated mediocrity that it is.

[believe157]

Uhh, Ravel was conducting orchestras by the age of 25 and already a million miles ahead of any trance music of today. Ferry's rmx is great as far as TRANCE goes. BUT the remix is less than a tiny speck of dust compared to the ORIGINAL piece or Ravel's equally amazing ORCHESTRAL adaptation.

[mrfitness2008]

Who cares where Ravel was conducting at 25.we have moved on from Classical music days,it's called musical evolution.

You are obviously blind to the talent of modern day DJ's they are all self taught musicians,a the computer is their instrument.

[believe157]

Maybe you are blind to what I wrote and what I was responding to. Someone equated Ferry's remix with the original piece by Ravel. Tell me, does a DJ making a trance track (remix in this case) require the same level of talent and skill as a person who writes and conducts their own (6 minute) orchestral piece for a full orchestra? Tell me, will your top trance classic still be played 100 years from now?

[mrfitness2008]

a classical composer and modern DJ are two separate talents altogether.

If william orbit or ferry had been around in the days of Ravel,then who is to say they couldn't have composed and conducted an orchestra as good as Ravel?

You will never be able to prove who is better as they come from different centuries! jerk!

[believe157]

uh, the person said if Ravel were alive today. Not the other way around. If they are two separate talents then why were they compared in first place and why are you comparing them now? What requires more talent, pressing play on a cdj and cueing up this remix, or playing "Pavane" on the piano or conducting a an orchestra? You resorted to name calling, b/c you know I am right. I rest my case. haha!

[mrfitness2008]

look! you arrogant tosser,

they are two different talents from different centuries,so whats the point of saying one is better than the other?i think they are equals and could well do each others profession with ease.

Get off your high horse..jackfuckinass!

[believe157]

You can keep calling me names if that builds up your fragile self-esteem but it doesn't help your case. People resort to namecalling when they don't have anything else to say. What does your namecalling really accomplish, and what does that say about you? Again, do you think your top trance classic will be remixed 100 years from now? If you feel that conducting and writing symphonies equates to trance remixes, ok. I certainly disagree. End of discussion. haha!

[mrfitness2008]

I see so now from these comments you can tell what's someone's personality is like can you? You should be on TV then as a magician/mind reader.

Answer me this is ..if being a DJ is so easy then how come everyone who tries to become one doesn't make it ?

You have no argument at all as you cannot say who is better ,ever due to these guys not being alive at the same time as another.

I would say that from those who read your crap most think you are a complete tosser and a nerd.

End of? I HOPE NOT :)

[AVDuran]

believe: Your discussion is well thought out, and makes perfect sense. Ravel was from a another world, and even though this version is a good thing, it's just a shadow of the original.

[thoooOmas]

ok bro

[jasman71]

This is a really terrific remix...fantastic work. Such emotion that together with the video really affects the listener..

[raceworx]

amzing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sassycerulean]

Great song, I always listen to this when im feeling little bad :) thx

[lotreamon01]

Well,this is the worst crap i've ver heard... The entire Pieces In A Modern Style,and this 12" which followed; crap.

And this video? Dance music and burial? lol....

[wcguy2002]

It's amazing how a song with no lyrics can be so emotional.

[TranceMan87]

Cudowne, piękne... niesamowite !

[gd1391]

crap

[921106]

this is AWESOMMMMMMMMMEEEEEE!!!ii

[BPMusic08]

Wow never heard this remix before! Really emotional!

[aliviou]

pruefziffer you're right!sometimes i think this style of trance music, together with ambient, is the continuation and the modernization of classical music!

[pruefziffer]

I think Maurice Ravel would have approved of this version :)

[CountKittyfuck]

haha, i always think what kind of music classical composers would be writing and listening to if they were around today.

[csabike]

moving video, nice music. Artwork!

[oceanscreamer]

Most remixes of classical songs are rubbish...this one is not! Very nice!

[TranceXXL]

so sad but so beautiful

[henkkis28]

this is best of trance music

[cutencrazy07]

Nice

[Nirvanarain]

Beautiful.

[quepasa1973]

very nice video, amazing i love it..

[jaypotd]

WILLIAM ORBIT= CLASS..............

[upliftingsession]

amazing classic

[MountainsTranceFan]

Incredible sound and video but this is fact!

[slaroddiemof]

Great video!

[jeffg2020]

Basically this has nothing to do w/ Ravel, he just used the tune like twice. Otherwise it's just monotonously repeated chords and beat - mediocre stuff. The original has both harmonic and rhythmic variety - those are all lost here.

[HEYARNOLD5]

the version made by william orbit without this beat is better, its more spiritual and reflective. This is nothing more than a creamfields nightclub anthem

[trimar42]

HI

visiblement et à l écoute vous n avez rien compris à Ravel !

venez à Montfort l amaury France  78 et nous vous expliquerons , si vous pouvez assimiler qui est RAVEL et le s circonstances de scette création !

If you dont know ; keep your mouth closed , pleased !

FC

[goalie999]

ferry's remix of adagio got so much more attention but this is far superior in every way imo...just a damn shame they shortened it so much for the video either way this is freakin awesome

[thesaint1917]

I just love ittttt!!!!

[MaxiLopez001]

wow, ferry corsten again brilliant remix!!!

[incubusrsnnglyp]

awsome music

[putosawe]

good

[DrMrEcho]

Funky. Shake that thurible!

[darkangel2347]

I'm quite thrilled to hear this. And I have since June 2000, when I brought the CD single. And it's nice to hear a less known Ravel track for once, as I've heard Balero one too many times.

[a1mint]

Seems rather upbeat music for a funeral...

[xeta757]

I like your comment : )

However, you gotta think in a different way, in many cultures (in south america, I may be wrong) , death is not MOURNED it is CELEBRATED. May be bcoz they believe that death is kinda liberation  of something.

Again: I am not a religious guy or preacher or wtf whatever. I am just interpreting based on knowledge acquired by reading and watching documentaries.

: )

[Vattuman]

what does Ravel's Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte mean?

[Jonilj]

"Pavane for a Dead Princess"

[594208]

bring back origanal william orbit version

[anlongv]

bring back the original classical (piano or orchestral) version :)

[bluetrancefer]

I'd actually like to find sheet music of this song. Not this Trance remix, but the original. It's inspired me to write something like it. However I can't seem to do so.

[dingorex]

Ravel's original at Princess Grace of Monaco's funeral---very emotional

[Ryanukuk]

1 of the only fc remixes i dont like oh well moneys money i guess ;

[realearnersdotcom]

If anyone doesn't like this remix then they need their head looking at - like Adagio for strings ... a truly wonderful remix by Ferry Corsten.

[DarkingRush]

it's a damn shame the original video isn't on anymore, please someone upload it

[hookah604]

it reminds me to Gouryella. ( :( )

[robsnolca]

Such a great song wasted on a stupid video. This video is a piece of shit, mediocre director.

[Blasphemy5]

such a great video

[zlyricist]

o fo sho

[matt8306]

Simply the greatest trance song ever made

[GreaseLightning02]

Nah, his take on Adagio was better imo. Still a great remix though! Ferry Rules all!
