I like how the euphonium(?) wore a top hat to the event.

[Funebre6]

OTTO!!!

The Dissonance, My God.

[983215ljhlkadbspig6y]

This is the style of music you hear right after you die. It consumes your spirit-- you feel it too-- and most people are so frightened by it that they choose to avoid it and re-incarnate into another 3-D, 5 sense, physical life. If you can learn how to appreciate and love these sounds, though, you're more likely to progress to a higher form of being. This claim is based on no evidence, obviously; it's just my opinion, based on my dreams.

finally something different

[TheRico1992]

Und das ist bei uns an der Schule auch noch ein Plichtstück in Musik xD Also nur zum Analysieren versteht sich :D

[poddypoldi]

@ emilio65largo

Nein, das ist das Orchester ;)

[emilio65largo]

ist es ein traum - ligeti und volles haus

[ThaSchwab]

I first heard this only recently on a St. Louis Symphony broadcast. It was nightmarish, to say the least. The conductor, Carlos Kalmar, ingeniously segued from this piece to Also sprach Zarathustra, by Richard Strauss. It was a great effect because this piece ends so quietly, and the Strauss starts the same way.

[BlueCougar]

@ThaSchwab And this is exactly what happens in Kubrick's "2001"...

[mmaiks]

wonderful music. just fantastic

[mmaiks]

wonderful music.

[caluvdarrell]

oh my God this is AWESOMEEE

[Cromoesavalente]

That's incredible frightening and fascinating at the same time. This is the sound of the life scared by the immanent, terrifying presence of the death over us.

[ParkourIstMeinLeben]

yes!

close ur eyes and try to let ur senses flow!

AWESOME!

[Bagas]

Ligeti, you genius bastard

[sieracki001]

The beginning of the universe..........

[AustinShowen]

Wonderful performance! Rattle needs to record some Ligeti with Berlin!

[josefomx]

This music is just fantastic, nothing can compare with it, an amazing composition that makes me fly to other world just closing my eyes and leaving my senses flow with it. I love it. Thanks for posting it. Thanks to Gyorgy Ligeti for this wonderful music.

[callasnuts]

Great sounds!

[masterclassicalmusic]

what is black instrument at 0:46

[tubafatness]

@masterclassicalmusic That is a tuba mute, (which the cameramen seemed to have not taken into account!) I don't know the brand of that mute offhand, but if it's being used by the Berlin Phil's tubist, then I'm sure it's a very high quality tool.

[samdajellybeenie14]

@masterclassicalmusic its a tuba mute.

[Shostasymphony]

I love this, it has the most amazing sounds probably that have ever been put down on paper. Particularly that chord at 1:00, where it sounds as if the sun is momentarily breaking through the clouds before disappearing again :)

The wonder on Rattle's face at that moment says it all!

[talesdemileto]

Don´t miss the complete complete concert. The voice of Barbara Hannigan in this play is out of this world.

[athb4hu]

I love Ligeti! Thanks.

[violinhunter2]

I see that once again - quantity triumphs over quality. This noise is nonsense. It's like a speech made up of three sentences that lasts three hours. Rattle is giving in to peer pressure. The tone quality is good though. Bravo. hehe

[alicelerobo]

@violinhunter2 Well, if you knew the first thing about Rattle you'd know that he adores 20th and pre-20th century music. It seemed to me that his Haydn and Beethoven recordings are more likely to have been giving into peer pressure. At his appointment for CBSO he even said something along the lines of "You'd better not expect me to do any Beethoven". Have you ever watched or even heard of his Leaving Home series? He does a big section on Ligeti.

[her0esfan]

I remember I got freaked out completely when I heard the music in A Space Odyssey 2001 when they went to the stone monolith - I wonder if that was Ligeti?

[TheStockwell]

@her0esfan Yes.

[sieracki001]

@her0esfan Yes that was Ligeti's Requiem. The 2001 film contains also his Aventures, heard when Bowman is in the mansion where he lives for a while. Ligeti noticed that he was not credited for this and sued Kubrick!

[kevycanavan]

wow!

[wexfordrebel]

going to buy this piece and have it in the background when i read the Music of the Spheres. Love it. Best thing I've heard for ages.

[jsteuernol]

LOL TUBA MUTE

ALL FOR LOOKS

[KhagarBalugrak]

This is awesome. Cause atonal music is always like EEP OOP BEEP WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH BLEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!­!!!!!!! I like having my ears raped by this kind of stuff.

[Ltlevim]

@KhagarBalugrak It's not rape if it's consensual, it's just sex. Hot, steamy, sex where your ear gets pregnant, and the baby is some profound thoughts.

[alicelerobo]

@KhagarBalugrak Actually, if you were to check out Olivier Messiaen you might find that he does a bit of "eep oop beep" but he also does rich chordal stuff like this. He's one of the more accessible modern composers around, I find. Check out his Turangalila Symphony.

[nft987]

Awesome! This is the best goddam comment on the whole entire YouTube. Thank you, Kagar Blugark. You understand music. I love you.

[Kuzya3k]
