[wks1978]

I love the ♪♫ ♫ in the title.

[pianist626262]

Great! Thanks!

[PivotAnimacionPro]

music of tom & jerry xD

[cosmeticdancer101]

Doing competion dance to this

[MrAuthor3DS]

Mm, very upbeat and cheery~!

Surprising that DDR Mario Mix derived Always Smiling from this...but still pleasing~

[TheOniKami]

Man, I can just see the shenanigans happening before my eyes.

[PrincessAlyssHearts]

Eat your heart out, Modern Bands! The days where is was acceptable to use cannons as percussion instruments beat BTR and Bieber anyway!

[Blasting4Matter]

240p We meet again

[1815ish]

So uplifting.Fantastic.

[swiniabartas]

Każda Polka jest SUPER!

[morganreginald]

i tried dancing to this while i was under the influence of alcohol and it just didnt work...

[elementfreak999]

playing this in about three hours for winter concert!

[PASGamingm2]

The conductor looks like a deacon at my church

[HomelyCooking]

‎"Gooood morning Vienna! This is K-Wilhelm's Super Sounds of the 1870s, startin' off your day with Johnny Strauss' chart-topping, block-busting hit, 'Tritsch-Tratsch Polka', the song every Viennese bourgeois who's somebody is humming along to!"

[pipebillys]

@HomelyCooking steven wright with bavarian accent? lolol

[eatsleepmusic]

@HomelyCooking I wish that's what happened when I turned on the radio... :c

[hanfmampf1234]

perfectly for trolling people :D

[vanburikwouter]

Was this strauss senior or junior?

[cahegm]

@vanburikwouter Junior.

[ttvpro007]

Tom and Jerry! =))

[jbinvestcap]

An Indian conductor (Zubin Mehta) directing an Austrian orchestra that is playing a Czech musical form (the polka) - this demonstrates the universality of music.

[guochocinco]

@jbinvestcap unless you're a woman!

[jbinvestcap]

@guochocinco What a moronic statement ! Do you put on your thinking cap before hitting the keyboard ?

[guochocinco]

@jbinvestcap haha yes the perfect exemplar for discussing the universality and diversity of classical music: the vienna philharmonic

[mattman82794]

ah ha! rotary valves :D

[mattman82794]

@0:28 really awkward way of holding a trumpet.

[astujest]

Such a beautiful piece of music. Everyone including the conductor is enjoying themselves making this lovely music.

[sayz25]

@1:10 TRIANGLE! 

[vanburikwouter]

@sayz25 Awesome!

[croman2000]

i am heavymetal guz and i think this is awesome

[AllenSimansMusic]

Very good conductor. The ensemble knows exactly what his cues mean, and he is one of few conductors who don't jump around like a crazy man, dance and sweat etc.

[douniacats]

super

[pornokrat]

I wish this music hasn't such quality. It must be at least in 720p. And better to listen to it live.

[drewandproductions]

Hikakin! :D

[BlackBattery54]

süper lan

@PayQPayQ wia bescheuert bisch du?

[PayQPayQ]

@rosilein193 na du. kannst kein deutsch?

[chuchotarantino]

Mehta seems to be a big fan of Strauss, when some audience asks for Encore, he usually picks some polka or waltz by him

[matimaziarz]

Stworzyli wspaniały nastrój, grając POLKĘ Johanna Straussa.

[polo30303030]

thank you very much, it is very inresting details on your reply.

[polo30303030]

where is this place?

[shaneu1]

@polo30303030 It is in the plaza in front of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, just off the Ringstrasse. If you look carefully, you'll see briefly in the background the front of the Hofburg and the balcony from which Adolf Hitler formally announced the Anschluss, the absorption of Austria into the German Reich, to a screaming multitude.

[hambreshito]

gokujo parodius saco una version de esta :3

[AznNinjaAnimeLover]

There's actually a person who can whistle this! Thumbs up if you watched the video!! And if you havent, type in Hikakin × Chihaya Kosugiyama in the search bar!! This girl is amazing!!

[MrRafaelamadeumilani]

dinamic music!

[Hallo299922]

Johann Straus is a genius

[MQuinny1234]

I'm so happy now.

[nitrorev386]

[adomingueztav]

es grandiosa la musica soy de oaxaca mexico y en mi lindo estado coservamos lo original todavia musica ,danza,arte culinario etc etc gracias a nuestros antepasados VIVA LA MUSICA

[ThePianoLad]

the conductor is the conductor of yuja wang's prokofiev no.2 @ the verbier festival. osom :)

[hollyevans2011]

I do this song with my music club I like this song I can play classical piano :) ( I'm 12 )

[muffinsNsausage]

@hollyevans2011 wow that's so incredible, you should get a record deal

[hollyevans2011]

@muffinsNsausage are you being sarcastic there im not too sure :)

[muffinsNsausage]

@hollyevans2011 Yes incredibly sarcastic.

[hollyevans2011]

@muffinsNsausage Ok thats fine : | Idiot

[hollyevans2011]

@muffinsNsausage Well your just an idiot :|

[max13345]

Also ich muss jedes mal anfangen zu lachen wenn ich das hör. Das tritsch tratsch (oder wie wir hier im schwäbischen sagen Geschwätz) hat er so super rübergebracht ich könnt mir das stundenlang anhören, und ich kann mir wirklich gut vorstelen wieviel spaß es macht so ein stück zu spielen vor allem wenn man als orchester sehr oft eher trauermärsche spielt welche natürlic auch sehr schön sein können.

[Kiristovai]

10 people do NOT have a clue what true music is.

[TheDmitrilover]

@Kiristovai now 14 :( 

[PrincessAlyssHearts]

@Kiristovai Now 15 people are clueless as to what awesome music is!

[BiologicalClock]

In my family, it's tradition for the father of the bride to dance with his daughter to a polka. I want to dance to this one if he can keep up, hahaha. It's so much more fun and celebratory than dancing to some sappy ballad anyway.

[PeekaPeep]

Everytime I hear this piece, I just see Roger Moore's Bond character in 'Moonraker' cruising through the streets of Venice in that spiffy gondola-like hovercraft as he eludes his enemies in style.

;-)

[gregorkrause]

this piece is on a tom and jerry short "johann mouse"

[OddishThing18]

Robin Hoek

[travelingoutskirts]

@OddishThing18 Thank you! lol It was KILLING ME.

[Mariana740126]

Wonderful performance!!! Vienna is admirable with its wonderful, talented and great musicians!!!

[sonic26000]

Anyone else brought here by DDR: Mario Mix?

[westtxtapper]

@sonic26000 A Touhou video brought me. :D

[sideviewwarden]

@westtxtapper same here, and it's worth the risk

[andres6868]

This is the equivalent of fluff in classical music, but it is still very much entertaining

[mp4yne]

Tom and Jerry!!! :D

[prazi86]

exceptional...

and also, name of the conductor anyone please?

[MinorHeinrich686]

Get the audio from this tune at soundnabber doht cohm.

[uGlyAnuS]

zubin mehta. it says in the decription dipshit

[Robloxman01]

@uGlyAnuS description dipshit. learn to. spell.

[thierryhongtran]

excuse me !

somebody tell me the name of the conductor , please !!!

thanks very much

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

I love the basses in these polkas :D Don't know why. I mean I like everything about that performance and every instrument has it importance in the orchestra. but orchestra without basses would be like, don't know. :D

[openmindspace]

Who feel like dancing?

[rodrigo555400]

genial!

[N00bizme]

♪ music note lol

[Tamani15]

lol this song will forever make me think of the weirdest scene in the movie "journey through fairyland" where they play this song XD its great..if u like rly bizarre things that make no sense but are somehow amusing o.o

[grungzer]

I freakin love this piece.

[shaneu1]

I agree with silverdalesapphires' sentiments below. A brief observation: this cheery, bubbly Strauss polka is being performed on a stage in the platz in front of the Hofburg; directly behind can be seen the balcony from which Adolf Hitler proclaimed the Anschluss to a screaming crowd in 1938.

[MultiPaulmax]

They are fantastic and here long before Andre Rieu and will be after he finally parts.

[tiggerspud]

i prefer andre rieu

[ykpatr]

Bardzo Piękna Muza Johanna Straussa Mistrzowskie Walce Kompozytora Perfect

[vanwindjammerjones]

Absolutely beautiful! Yes, this piece was used in a Tom and Jerry cartoon!(I like Tom and Jerry) It's a shame that some people can't hear the music for all the "noise" that comes out of their heads! 

[TheKnightofcygnus]

2:38

imagine what will happen when the stick flies out from his hand...

[silverdalesapphires]

P.S. You've obviously not seen Lorin Maazel playing his violin (a la Johann Strauss) whilst conducting at the New Year Concert, AND having the time of his life! I'd like to see Sir Simon Rattle do a stint on New Year's Day with the VPO guys (and gals!)

[Pesamorrison123]

The Composer look like a magician with his wand....And he conjures pure magic.

[nintendo1889x]

Ren and Stimpy FTW

[iva7foteva]

Beautiful!!!!

[oshitokun]

tom and jerry song XDDDDDDDDDDd

[MistyK74525]

@oshitokun Isn't it fascinating how many people have been exposed to great pieces of classical music by way of watching cartoons? Bugs Bunny cartoons are the ones that come to mind instantly. Too bad cartoons made in modern days (Here's looking at you Nickelodeon) have 'canned' soundtracks or none at all.

[freeqwerqwer]

.....an Indian conductor ? He made the VPO sound like an awful cartoon

[ROCKandCATS4Ever666]

we are gonna sing it in public. too shame I don't know german language...

[ykpatr]

Bardzo Bardzo Pięęęknie Bardzo Najmocniej Kocham Muzykę Johanna Straussa

[thrasher247]

this is so tight

[lodoktor]

the conductor is Mr Mehta?

[silverdalesapphires]

@lodoktor Yup, the conductor IS Zubin Mehta and he IS Indian. What's the problem people have with conductors and orchestras enjoying themselves? This isn't terrifically 'deep' music and if it's alright for Abbado, Guilini and co to have fun with Strauss's 'lollipops' then it's OK for Mehta! Go, Zubin! The whole object of the Neues Jahres Konzert is for the normally staid, stuffy and musically almost perfect VPO to let its hair down and throw a party!

[sonalg1988]

Wow. You know, this tune was used in the Tom & Jerry episode 'Johann Mouse', and that is how I came to love this tune; it also serves as a beautiful reminder of my childhood.

I do not know anything about Johann Strauss, but I know that his music did make my childhood a little more memorable.

[KyvannShrike]

I like this song, its too bad that it ends at 2:40.

[07septimo]

exelente interpretacion

[SimuLord]

Strauss is often dismissed as being lighter fare than Beethoven or (ugh) Wagner, but not everything has to be deep and weighty. Sometimes the simple pleasures of a polka or a waltz are best. The sort of thing you could, say, arrange and put into a cat and mouse cartoon. Hurrah for Strauss!

[SuperCzarnykot]

Super polka !!!

[TheBlackNotWhite]

Only 8 Justin Bieber fans so far

[EduOrta142536]

watch osim 2009 tritsch tratsch polka just watch it :)

[drummerponsi]

so fun to play ^^

[rachjay4]

Love this song. It's impossible to hear it and NOT smile. :)

[LaMusicaOrchestra]

SUPER CLASS MAESTRO!!!

[AnAmericanComposer]

I've always loved the waltz, even before I like classical music, and now I realize how not-stupid the polka is! Too many people abuse this style of work as something corny and dumb (ie., Weird Al Yankovic), when it was originally just a bouncy, happy song style! Johann Strauss is MY HERO!

[stefan1708]

@AnAmericanComposer Fliegermarsch 

[loaugust]

Superb!

[Aleksast2]

This song makes me smile :)

[ZerYdon101]

its cool how you can see how all the musicians are actually enjoying playing it, i mean i would be stressed out to play in front of such a crowd.

[shaylen911]

Zubin Mehta is one of the most practical conductors of the 20th-21st century. gotta love him.

[BlueDog907]

You ppl no they did the " Always Smiling " For DDR Mario Mix lol :D, ( Thunbs Up For DDR Mario mix :D ).

[lenxkaho08]

Tom and Jerry!!! Fantastic!

[anggaraupvc]

sounds incredible

[southport97]

Moonraker!

[FeeelixWright]

@southport97 I too play this song while piloting my hovergondola through the streets of Venice.

[imaevildoctor]

This song has always reminded me of cartoons for some reason.

[mgdenton1986]

yeah i think its been used extensively in porky pig and such

[mykiedaughter]

sone please send me this video

[Randzers]

trop beau!

VERY NICE!

[lucapelle96]

who's the conductor???

[shiyangzhang110]

Zubin Mehta

[littleliuboy]

Zubin Mehta from Heldenplatz, Vienna.

[gascansam]

Recently heard this on the classical station in Chattanooga.....it's certainly not the rock or Metal I usually listen to, but it's cool and I like it.....never to old for culture!

[osoboleh]

half of them are russians :P such a shame :( shame for the past Russia I mean

[charmingemily]

@osoboleh ？ as in half the musicians in vienna phil are russians? wow

[TheGuider]

Amazing :)

[XavifromSeville]

Brilliant! Excellent!

[SawdustProductions]

I think I remember hearing this when the Royal Winnipeg Ballet put on Moulin Rouge about a month ago...

[kanalija]

Debating music is like dancing to architecture :P

[matyi1997en]

Awesome!

[Shadowhog]

@kanalija But this Victorian House has such a good beat...

[hahahamario]

@kanalija beautifully put.

[hahahamario]

@kanalija beautifully put.

[N00bizme]

@kanalija ummm *hides architecture behind desk* yes, I totally agree with you.

[MrJazznerd]

@kanalija thats zappa

[jlb1559]

Why do people assume that a good performance of a Polka by the Vienna Phill is because of the guy standing in front of the orchestra? The only think you need to play a good polka (especially the Vienna Phill) is a decent downbeat, which the one here was decent at best. Personally, I haven't heard anything from Mehta that's any better than Solti, Bernstein or Toscanini to name a few. Mehta's career consists of being in the right place at the right time.

[MusicStudyMan]

I half agree with you and half think you're criminally insance. If you think conducting is just about keeping time then you should begiven a frontal lobotomy and locked in padded cell with sug fitting jacket that ties up at the back. But you're right that Mehta isn't necessarily any better that Bernstein, Solti et all - just different.

[jlb1559]

There's an article that sums this up nicely. YouTube won't let me post a link, so Google 'The myth of the maestro' by Philippa Ibbotson.

[MusicStudyMan]

Nice article, I'm astounded at the fees!!!! The articel is a little uneducated/biased and only quotes a small unqualified sample of opinions. I firmly believe, as Brock McCelchran will tell you, "only 1% of conducting is conducting". Conducting is easy (i do it, I know). Interpretation, balance, timing etc... that's where the are of conducting lies. Most of a conductor's work is done in rehearsal well away from public gaze so musicians should not be looking at the podium too much anyway.

[MusicStudyMan]

The difference in interpretations are often vast but there's no more mystery about this than asking you and Vincent Van Gogh to paint a tree. Both pictures are trees- one is worth more to some people than the other, though I agree differences in taste are probably not worth £750K a year!!! Unless someone wants to pay me that... ;o) Personally I think the pomp and snobbery should go from all music entirely. Conductors are servants to the music and the musicians first and foremost.

[realiquidation]

Excellent Observation, but don't forget the trainings as well, ha?

[manuel8887]

@jlb1559 I agree with you. THE MUSICIANS ARE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE DIRECTOR THEYRE JUST LOOKING AT THE PARTITURE hes just standing there getting all the credit

[sentdia]

i would rank zubin , next to karajan.

[Ezaele]

i didn't know what this was, but it has been in my Recommended For You box for ages, and i finally caved and watched it, and i love this song!!!

[BillyWeekend]

loving it

[krang07]

wow i never heard it played so well

bravo!

[ganter46]

immer wieder schön, Musik für die Ewigkeit :-))

[MoniczkaAniolek]

amanzing :)))

[dismith]

Who knew?

[wysiwyg248]

Great version, still Mehta made it sound almost like a March, IMHO should be a bit faster.

[booie666]

Ahahaha.. the Triangle player rules.. pretty much no one hears him and he still gets paid.. and the best part.. no triangle solo!

[eltfell]

Georg Kreisler made a song, called "Das Triangel".

Ja, da sitz ich mitten im Orchester drin,

Und halte bereit mein Triangel,

Und endlich zeigt der Dirigent auf mich hin,

Und dann steh ich auf und mach -

Yes, I'm sitting in the mid of the orchestra,

and keep my triangle prepared,

and finally the conductor points on me,

and then I stand up and do -

And so on - the song is quite long.

[MichaelSel]

no such thing as a triangle player. he is a percussionist. in this piece he may play triangle, but in another he might play the marimba or xylophone... respect to him.

[tuttt99]

Must be Rex Stardust. He's done quite well since his elbow was removed (luckily he's ambidextrous as well as flambouyant....)

[dordeacasa]

Es ist wunderbar!

[BreathDoctor]

5 Stars. Awesome schtufff!!!!!!
