Pub Levis - Sarabande

[javiosomurcia]

Posiblemente el mejor anuncio de todos los tiempos

[emmanuellebigre]

Isn't Haendel public domain now anyway?

I agree with M. Waveshock. I do not know more about classical music as the next man, but I believe you don't need to be an athlete to enjoy sport...

F*CKING BEAUTIFUL COMMERCIAL THOUGH...one of the best with the Guiness one about Moby Dick and the horses in the sea with the sufers.

[Zugvogel1]

It is...

It´s not under the Cover of Copyright after 70 Years after Dying.(Germany).

[RichardKleiner]

That final scene when they keep running on air reminds me of a dream.

Beautiful musical arrangement too. I love this cue's ending better than the original.

[CateHorror]

I loved this music also in Barry Lyndon... I don't think that levi's did something wrong... It fits perfectly! Probably the best spot...

[FoliesEspagne]

They should issue laws that great music - even in fancy tasteless trancriptions - could not be mistreated for commercial goals. 'Stolen music' we call it in The Netherlands to take away your precious music and substitute it for a brand of jeans, butter or washing power. It makes me sick all over

[ergoprox84]

Always so cute when culture elitists with anti commerce ideas try to argue for inhibiting laws..

What is great music? If you ask the masses it ain't Händel, it's ABBA teens or Tokyo hotel. Should that music also be protected by your laws?

Personally, I think this video is beautiful, and I give credit to Levis for trying to change the way commercials look..

[FoliesEspagne]

I don't care for ABBA but any existing music that is used to sell products or to add to moving pictures is still stolen or sold and should be forbitten. It does not matter if it is great or small music. There are plenty of composers, so let those people be hired and it will give extra expenses I know but that

will add to the respect of existing music and the associations of numerous people. And I am no elite. Haendel is music for the millions but I guess you don't even know that.

[RichardKleiner]

have you ever heard the musical meaning of the word "tribute"?

[FoliesEspagne]

I fail to see the point. Levis has only one thing in mind and that is selling jeans. Or do you really think that Levis want to pay a tribute to Haendel?!?

[RichardKleiner]

You're saying they should hire composers for making their own music in a commercial. You say they shouldn't use someone else's music. So what if you like a song so much you want to put it in a movie or a commercial?

Lighten up. If you don't like them using the music in the commercial, just watch it without sound.

[RichardKleiner]

Oh, Stanley Kubrick had made worse travesties with classical music than this commercial (such as The Thieving Magpie's overture played during a gang rape scene and later on a beating in "A Clockwork Oragne), and everybody's OK with it.

But Levi's makes a beautiful artistic surreal commercial with excerpts from Haendel's Sarabande and that makes you sick.

[FoliesEspagne]

Music and images bite each other. Like books and filmscripts based upon those books. Your precious imaginations are intruded. Do I have to tell that abusing precious music for selling jeans should make everyone sick? Leave precious things in their context and spent a few dimes to hire a composer to make your levis jingles. Maybe I am razed with some codes like to respect the property of others. Commercials are hard to avoid because they haunt you.You can't avoid them that is the tragic.

[waveshock]

Don't you know that classic musicians actually sold their works? That they made music in demand and got paid for it? They didn't work only for the art... art don't feed you and your family. If Haendel lived today, he possibly would accept making music for spots, movies or whatever... so what's the problem? Besides, thanks to this commercial a lot of people got the chance to know this beautiful tune... oh, it must hurt you a lot that culture reachs the masses!

Anyone said... snob???

[FoliesEspagne]

It is not about what Haendel should have done or not. That is of no relevence. Try to read what the meaning of the message was. Culture for the masses? That is why Popmusic was invented wasn't it? Just leave music you don't understand to the people who will appreciate it.

[waveshock]

"Just leave music you don't understand to the people who will appreciate it"

OH MY FU**IN GOD! You have just described yourself with that sentence. I'm not worthy of talking with such an elevate music gourmet! In fact, I should'n breathe this very air,sure I'm not apreciating it enough.

By the way, this is actually Leonard Rosenmann version of Sarabande, arranged for the movie Barry Lyndon. So you're whining about a music already altered for a movie... but I guess you don't even know that!

[audoss]

Händel & Levi's, it is crazy and at the same time it suits perfectly, this is levi's greatest ad ever

[gueratomik]
