  • Woody woodpecker.

  • Drama, power, heavy tones, light tones...slow, somber...quick, energizing...

    This has EVERYTHING (including, as I'm obligated by YouTube law to mention--TOM AND JERRY!) ;)

  • I needed a break from my usual Credence clearwater revival and Led zepplin,i came to the right place... Looks to me like there are plenty of educated folks here,feel like i am on the frasier crane show!

  • Great recording of this magnificent piece of music, nice to see there are over 400, 000 others that found and enjoyed it, thanks for the pleasure it gave me.

  • I first heard at Tom and Jerry))))))The best Cartoon ever

  • great recording my ass?

    

  • @sadpandaxx are you fucking stupid, lmao

  • When i heard this i thought....

    TOM AND JERRY!!!

  • Tom and Jerry rock

  • Does anyone know the conductor and the orchestra of this recording? I cannot find the information anywhere.

    Besides, who is the arranger of this orchestration?

    I have heard the arrangement by Karl Müller-Berghaus in C minor, by cooperated Liszt and his pupil Doppler in D minor, but I have not ever herad this orchestration.

  • I'm just in the mood to hear something wonderful.

  • Para mi es la mas grande obra de arte, no me canso de escucharla, es una de las maravillas del mundo.

  • Oh how we can breathe again with some Franz Liszt exposure.

  • Reminds me of a TOM AND JERRY cartoon!! Brings back such great memories :)

  • Hey peeps, I am a 24 year old 2nd year college student. A pre Req. for transferring to my 4 year university I am taking Music Literatur, where I have learned about the music, its hormony, the history of it, and all its great composers. I am a changed man because of it, and in a way have kind of left the hip hop era, altough i do enjoy it sometimes. Moreover I have received a great deal of breadth on Art Music, and I really do enjoy listening to it. Being 24 years old i was exposed to BUgsBNY

  • bonjour merci pour cette magnifique musique j'aime beaucoup .mes amitiés lylka

  • Was this played in The Ten Commandments?

  • Classical music may not be in cartoons anymore but it is in movies which reach an even wider audience. 

  • liebe es!!!

  • I was watching Looney Tunes on TV and the captions displayed the name of the song. I had to look this up.

  • @SolidSaberie The exact reason I'm here. :) The one where Bugs is playing the piano and the mouse tries to play along, making him mad?

  • @MagzWLGB

    Yes, that's the one. it was hilarious!

  • @MagzWLGB That's Tom and Jerry. Bugs Bunny never had a mouse.

  • @Eltonto32 He didn't 'have' him, the mouse was just being a pest to Bugs while he was trying to play his piece. It wasn't a regular character; just a random mouse. Trust me, I know the difference. ;)

  • @AwshowmeneshShquared Absolutely fucking right! Some ppl just wouldnt know incredible music if it bit them in the ass twice anyway

  • Franz Liszt was a Romantic composer, not Classical. Many people who call this music classical usually just consider the type of sounds they here, whereas the ones who know the difference compare the how those sounds are used. So if you're criticising these "uneducated people nowadays", make sure you know, yourself, what you're talking about;

  • @RubiksiswhAtiMdOiNg moreover, for someone who calls himself "ClassicalMusicOnly", I'd assume you'd know a little more about this. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, and certainly Gregorian Chants are not at all Classical. You'd be better off calling your channel "European Art Music."

  • @RubiksiswhAtiMdOiNg Isn't romantic a period of classical music? Or what exactly does the term 'classical' entail? (Not maliciousness intended, I'm genuinely curious. :) )

  • Sixteen years on this Earth and I have not yet found a type of music that effects me like classical... Bravo people of the last couple of centuries.

  • Gorgeous... <3 

  • Thanks for providing this recording. Like so many others visitors, it seems as though this piece has been immortalized thanks to classic cartoons.

  • Im "HUNG"arian and i enjoyed that thoroughly!!!!!

  • @MrBADBOB62 Even Liszt can c wut u did thar.

  • im 1 month old and i love this 'song' i dont listen to rihanna and hip hop like my friends do

  • @soo313 LOL

  • It IS a great recording. Makes me feel like dancing...all the best, di

  • The Hungarian Rhapsody might be the most single handedly brilliant piece ever created on earth by mankind.

    And if able to be played on piano, u r the greatest.

  • Doesnt sound toooo fun on flute in some parts, but Id still love the sheets for it X)

  • I remember this from woody the wood chuck

  • 16 people had Friday going on in their head while this piece of art was being played!

  • Am I the only one tired of the"new cartoons suck, old cartoons are better" phrase almost everyone is using recently. It's okay if you perfer older cartoons but come on give the animators a freaking break. Geez

  • what orchestra is this

  • has lizst put on a few pounds?

  • @thenotoriousadin no actually i think he's a skeleton about now

  • Im 15 and i love classical. I do hate most of the new music these days its all the same with auto-tune and no real instruments. No passion. They all talk about either girls, sex, partying, or gang-banging. I wish I was part of everyone who likes this vids gen. 16 ppl are of my gen sad....

  • @Sirbigwig Yeah, I wish commercial music wasn't so generic and lifeless. But don't condemn all new music, there's a lot of behind the scene stuff that's pretty good, you just have to do a lot of looking, listening, and open your mind to other options before you can find something you really like. So I can understand why so many people would rather just listen to the classics, just easier I suppose.

  • amazinggg

    

  • 5:54 try typing an essay while listening to this without trying to type really fast it's freakin' hard

  • Wahaha. And my Name is Franz... Fuck yeah, My God. you make me proud... although I failed band class, I've always Idolized this guy. Lol

  • Imadom Lisztet.(egy buszke magyar.)

  • Beautiful!

  • Poor Liszt, he was "crushed" in the picture.

  • @Laudan08 He was in a little box when the picture was taken.

  • WOEEE

    

  • Preciosa interpretación! Me siento sumamente emocionada escuchándola!

    Beautiful interpretation! I am very excited listening!

  • I came here for Tom and Jerry!

  • I'm going to play this at my orchestra!! Woopp!!!! And I've lived in Hungary before and the music is very much like this!!! I <3 HUNGARY!!!

  • I don't know if it makes such difference. I watched those cartoons my entire childhood and now, listening to these songs I can remember the cartoons, but I never gave classical music any more attention because of them.

  • @studioworks1990 It makes a difference because if the children don't listen to it in cartoons; then from where will they learn of Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, and the others? Will they ever look these up on their own? Will the next generation be able to recognize these works if they have never had association with them?

  • Upaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaa WoW WoW che entusiasmo che vitalità!!!

  • The whole thing is an amazing rollercoaster ride, and 9:18 is where it malfunctions and hangs by its hinges (if rollercoasters have hinges). Then the maintenance guys have to fix it and then at 9:45, it's working again! Don't you just love musimagination!?

  • merry melodies is the exact reason i listen to classical music.

  • Franz Liszt was the greatest performer of all time; now that he's gone and passed away who else can make the same claim?

  • @tratebane me

  • Its crap how the people in my school dont feel the power in this kind of music!!

  • This music is just stuning!!!!!! Nothing can compare to it. It is outragous more people of this generation do not listen to it.

  • Oh gosh I love this!

    Sometimes it just sounds so smooth and "bluesy" but that opening theme is so powerful.

    Like it says in the description, there's just something "seductive" about the opening that pulls me in right away. I have goosebumps...

  • I was just wondering, as I've been a fan of Liszt for a while now (still struggle to type his name correctly) - does anyone know how his name is pronounced??

  • Hát egy magyar nyelvű beírás sincs? Hát, gyalázat.

    Legyünk büszkék!!

  • @nika52nika Hey!Itt vagyok en!:-)En buszke vagyok,de arra is buszkek lehetunk hogy Liszt ennyire elismert vilagszerte,azert van ez a sok angolul irott comment,nem gondolod?:-)

  • I do appreciate how many of you musicians can talk about the music notes on here and understand if it's in C or C#M. I'm learning how to play piano on my own using tutorials from YouTube, but I'll never be able to read the notes. Lol.

    Kudos to you all who learned the proper way and learned how to read notes.

  • @zantetsuken1986 Buy yourself two things: "Piano for Dummies", it's a terriffic software program and not expensive. And, "Complete Idiot's guide to Music Theory". Hint - when you print out the music lesson use "Print Screen" and set the printer to enlarge it so that the notes are easier to read. In the beginning it's hard to tell if the notes above and below the staff are on the line or above or below unless your eyes are perfect. A lot of sheet music mechanics is archaic. You'll get it.

  • simply a masterpiece 

  • thoroughly enjoyed that.

  • Gotta love how the old cartoons would incorporate classical music. Why current cartoons don't I will often wonder.

  • @indoorin the last cartoon that I saw incorporate orchestral music was Courage the Cowardly dog, I miss those great shows.

  • even though this is in C... not C#

  • @pageynumbert2

    I can see why, I'm not sure I'll orchestrate my horns in G#m and trumpets/clarinets in D#/Ebm if I didn't have to.

    Egads!

  • C#m = Best Key Ever.

  • GREAT OPPENING, I love trombone!!

  • Sad that kids now aren't exposed to this as we were with the cartoons we watched. Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, the Smurfs, all exposed us to the wonders of classical music. Never see that nowadays.

  • @jpringle1979

    It's because people have forgotten how to treat children, and I mean "treat" in both senses. The way to entertain a child is to introduce it to new and exciting things. Nowadays childrens' film and television producers try too hard to be on the same level as kids, so we end up with lots of mundane and uninspiring programs. Be brave, show them something they aren't familiar with and maybe they'll remember your show when they grow up.

  • @jpringle1979 Have you heard of Little Einsteins? Despite the predictable and repetitive scenarios, the show introduces children to classical music and all types of art, it's pretty cool.

  • @jpringle1979 Last year the Phoenix symphony had a production with many of the classical songs performed from looney toons with the cartoons playing in the background. It was great, and my 4 year old son loved it. I thought it was a great way to introduce children to classical.

  • @jpringle1979 the smurfs? I can't remember they had other music than their "tra la, la la la la, ..."

  • @Scaboful - I thought Smurfs used to feature some work from Mozart (Magic Flute?)...but that was 30 years ago and memory ain't what it used to be. :)

  • @jpringle1979 I'm a kid of these days and I grew up with those cartoons so you're statement isn't 100% true

  • @jpringle1979 You are so right, this is unfortunately a generation of Rihana and Lady Gaga and who knows what, but i'm guessing this is the kind of heavenly music that never dies

  • @jpringle1979 not true little Einstein  do :/ but your right like little bear

  • @jpringle1979

    I still remember the exact clips in my head which go with the song. a better time :D

  • @jpringle1979 Is just like if you've read my thoughts.

  • @jpringle1979 ...at what age are these "kids" you speak of?

  • @jpringle1979 Im still a child, and I adore Classical music. I Agree with you. Nowadays, my peers will often disturb me with some eerie sounds of rap. Although techno is interesting.

  • Also known as "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody," by the incomparable Mel Blanc.

  • wow! just amazing! entertaining 2!

  • mad about Liszt just amazing symphony ... greeting from Georgia (IN EUROPE )

  • Liszt looks like Geranimo in this picture

  • @simhopp I see the resemblance but Check out the the picture of Chopin in Polonaise in A, Op 40 No 1. He looks like Jackie Chan

  • Woody Woodpecker did a great piano version of this on one of his cartoon.

  • who are the 14 un educated fucking sods who disliked this. This is a masterpiece and lizst has an amazing mind

  • Funny how cartoons were one of the things that got me into classical music.

  • @Diffomega I'm with you. Same here!

  • May God have mercy on the 14 people who disliked this.

  • @AwshomeneshShquared most people that vote down a video don't watch the entire video. They're looking for instant gratifications and of course uneducated since they don't know this song. They're the kind of people that mindlessly go from video to video, looking for the next 30 second viral video of a cute cat or dog. Its amazing how disliking something tells how society is these days.

  • @4thlord51 Agreed

  • @4thlord51 Don't complicate yourself, they're just trolls, nothing more.

  • @4thlord51 Funny thing is that if they'd watched the whole video they'd probably go "Oh I know that..isn't that from some cartoon or something??" it's a start annyway as lobg as you give yourself the chance..

  • @4thlord51 I skip through till I find it then cut the rest out with audio programs. ;)

  • @4thlord51 somehow i doubt your average viral video-seeker would click on something with Hungarian Rhapsody or Orchestra in the name... Maybe the people who disliked this simply thought there should have been more information on the piece of music or a slideshow. They're "of course uneducated since they don't know this song" ? Come on.

  • @lucariosleftshoulder Education has nothing to do with like or dislike of such music. Ignorance must be to blame. What moves YOU moves you.. Not knowing of such great arrangements therefore not having heard them releases one of fault.

  • I like how they try and shove Gershwin down your gullet right after this is over. Not a bad arrangement by the way and I've heard them all. Yeah that's right. The London Holland and Vienna Philharmonic so take that. As far as classical music this is where the rubber meats the road man. Piano arrangements of this are nice too. I blast this stuff through a klipsh pa system with a 150 watt per channel kenwood amplifier It totally rocks. I'm going to head over to the 1812 overture next..see ya

  • @drewzillasaurusrex this was orginally made for piano by liszt, this is a orchestral arrangements

  • This just captures my eye on Feudal Japan. Reminds me of such nights, walking through some snowy walkway surrounded by colorleaf`d trees, as a child. Not knowing what was lurking within the forest-set. Veering off into the woods, only armed with childhood knowlege, I would take off, and dance. <3

  • @LilKama1 I was just reading about japan and this song immediately came to mind, I thought it was random association, but apparently something about it speaks to japan

  • @merlin69x Too true man, too true..

  • Very very nice !!!

  • Can anyone provide the information on what CD this came from? Many thanks.

  • In case anybody is wondering, this is the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andras Korodi.

  • @cottonpaste I was just about to ask who this was, as soon as I found your comment. Thank you. I was hoping to find out, and I did o:

    Kudos.

  • @LilKama1 The reason I know is because I own "The Top 100 Masterpieces of Classical Music: 1685-1928", an excellent 10-CD set of many of the most popular pieces, including this recording.

  • @cottonpaste How tasteful are the orchestrations?

  • @cottonpaste I am interested, thank you for the information

  • Thank you.

  • One of the all time great pieces of music. 

  • Proof that Tom and Jerry was educational ;)

  • @ownth True. I believe that one of the reasons I like Classical Music is because I was addicted to Tom and Jerry. They have a lot of classical music episodes :)

  • @ownth , sorry accidently click vote down but i meant to be vote up!:) sorry

  • @hanan7830 Haha, it's all good! :)

  • @ownth yes it was

  • @ownth indeed

  • @ownth Disney, MGM and Warner Brothers always were educational 50 years ago. Music in old Disney movies for example were impressionistic or modern, neo-classicist. And now? Sounds always the same, Hollywood isn't much further than Berlioz and Verdi, i would say.

  • is this music used in Ben Hur?

  • :] like everyone else here, i memorized this song thanks to tom&jerry and bugs.

  • Whoa a shit ton of Liszt fans DEFINITELY DO remember Tom and Jerry apparently

  • @McLeod54  Really!

  • @McLeod54 Really. Who knew?

  • @McLeod54 p.S. I can't wait to go over to "Bolero' and see how many people remember "10."

  • I do!!!!! been looking for this song for a long time now.

  • thanks creator because i an in 7th grade band and i forgot to practice all week except twice and listening to a 100 minutes of your songs gave me at least a 70 for my assignment TTTTTHHHHHHHHNNNNNNXXXXXXXX :)

  • bashee irani

  • @nbalavi khoobe, piano baladi pas?

  • Hello, my name is Nushin Brooke Alavi. I am a 19 year old college student. I have been playing piano for 15 years. I have a composition teacher at UCSD. I have 11 improvisations and four compositions. If you please, take a look at my videos. It would mean the world to me

  • @nbalavi Bah bah Irani?

  • Try listening to this and following the sheet music... mind blown

  • actually , it was "Woody Woodpecker" ... cartoon..

    Tom and Jerry had no "Kultur"

  • this was in roger rabbit right ?

  • @devmoran2 Yup! the scene between Daffy and Donald Duck!

  • Shut up this music.

  • @civillaser haha, yes i like mozart and bach more than Liszt but still he is one hell of a lot better than modern shit.

  • @HeartGoldMVP I said about the volume of sound.

  • @civillaser why, the volume is perfect, if not to small. we should not shut it iup, we should TURN IT UP.

  • @HeartGoldMVP

    No,we shouldn't turn it up,when we listen to music. We should shut up,if we want to enjoy it.

  • Tom and Jerry academy award 1945

  • Awesome! TY

  • TOM & JERRY !

  • @AijaTukie :D

  • It's amazing how gypsy life stayed with L his whole life. We hear it over and over.

  • . Brilliant absolutely brilliant!!

  • hahaha kamikaze pilots, hahaha

  • oh please...I could right something twice as good as this while on the shitter with one hand tied behind my back while fighting off kamikaze pilots and performing open-heart surgery ;)

  • it sounds better on the piano and i think it's a tiny bit slow ..

  • wtf why is it that producers always use pieces like these for cartoons?

  • i am so sorry to all the stuck up people that know everything about historical music, and that i didn't know the difference between classical, boroque, and romantic.

    jeez. chill out. sometimes it's reasonable to lump these genres into categories for convenience... get over yourselves please..

  • This plays when Lisa Simpson encourages Santa's Little Helper about his looks, and the two decide to scoot on their butts together.

  • Cat Concerto vs Rhapsody Rabbit

    Both MGM and Warner Bros. accused each other of plagiarism, after both films were shown during the 1947 Academy Awards ceremony. Technicolor was accused of sending a print of either cartoon to the competing studio, who then allegedly plagiarized their rival's work. This controversy was the subject of an episode on the Cartoon Network documentary show.

  • @brutusmuerto The song was also used on Animaniacs, for the Series-ending movie, Wakko's Wish. After the movie, the Warner siblings (Yakko, Wakko and Dot) were remembered, but they're has-beens, doomed to lack of fame, as well as a lack of Animaniacs Volume 4. Sad, really.

  • @maxpowd3r, it's just a colloquial term to describe highly orchestrated music. Do people come up to you in your circle and say they like "Romantic" music. Relax. Also, it's really hard to be a class snob when you're swearing on a youtube post. I listen to opera. It is because of people like you that I gag when I'm walking through the lobby during intermission. "Oh I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Saint-Tropez, I will have to settle for Paris" *GAG*

  • @maxpowd3r

    You have got to be one of the dumbest morons on YouTube. Bach is of the Baroque period and is not classical at all. The classical period began with Haydn (broadly speaking) and extended through early Beethoven. What a retarded asshole you must be not to know this.

    Even so, this Liszt is quite good and can be considered classical music at its best. Everyone in the world considers Romantic music to be classical music, except for morons like you of course.

  • @Edward245100 Lol, this motherfucking son of an alcoholic bitch just googled "classical music". What a useless piece of rotten elitist shit.

  • @Edward245100 douche bag

  • @maxpowd3r. I think you'll find that cause isn't a word. Would you be meaning because? Also the "s" on the end of years wasn't capitalised somewhat lowering the effect given with the capitalisation. Bach was not alive in the classical period and the romantic period is often classed as classical music as well. Also I felt that adding and extra word on most of your insults would have made them more effective. Furthermore, you might want to dress down on the language and look up arguments first.

  • @maxpowd3r Nowadays we usually refer classical music as any Western music other than jazz and todays' pop/rock/hip-hop/R&B hits. That's mainly why most teenagers hate 'classical' music.
