Charpentier Te deum (1)

[ritorno100]

This is the perfect antidote to all the slow, heavy-handed organ versions that seem to litter YouTube. I already have the recordings of this fabulously joyful music by both Les Arts Florissants and Les Musiciens du Louvre.. Now I am going to buy this one - they are all so good I really cannot choose between them. The French have a way with their own baroque music that is simply inimitable.

[dicfmi]

¿Alguien me puede decir cómo adquirir ésta grabación? GRACIAS (ABSOLUTAMENTE SOBERBIA, introducción de Martin Gester incluída) SUPERB!!!

[FRAGIORGIO1]

[angelo41083]

[PaAndIom]

[pautalux]

Grazie Carosaxone. E beato te che becchi Mezzo!!!!

[Belcantormail]

Who can own the copy right of this pice? IT BELONGS TO OUR HUMANITY it's a co-creation: the praying of catholicism of christianity TE DEUM in the music of the great Carpenter, God bles him!

[Tojiro06]

@Belcantormail what is god ??

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@Tojiro06 Did you hear the music? Don't quibble over this masterpiece of composition and performance, please. Thank you.

[sue200012]

@Tojiro06 God is the one who gave this beautiful music to his church.

[Tojiro06]

@sue200012 god doesn't exist, he is a idea, a model of mens invented by the jews.. if you don't believe in santa claus you don't believe in god

[EcoleLibre]

@Tojiro06 Sanctimonious holier-than-thou atheist missionary sermon.

[sue200012]

@Tojiro06 Next I'll tell you about my belief when I visit the beautiful music/art/literature websites of atheism. Oh, you don't have any. Your contributions to society? 

[Tojiro06]

@sue200012 its not a belief it the only true but you can't understand..

[fred73ds]

Charpentier you are Grand!!! VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!

[flautistafrattese]

magnifico, anche il serpentone!

[Berokymilk]

Those timbals are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vvvv21ful]

Grazie mille Carosaxone finalmente il video ora lavoro normale mi piacciono i 7 video sono fantastiche e io ascolto loro ogni giorno. Grazie.

[lclmr8]

Trompettes et tambours donnent un aspect martial, mais retenu, digne.

De la musique d'un âge religieux et aristocratique qu'on ne pourrait guère réussir aujourd'hui, sinon dans les films, mais dans une veine escapiste et grandiloquente.

[carapaxclan]

Splendida composizione, e quella di Martin Gester è forse la più bella interpretazione che io abbia mai sentito...

[Gurtna]

Wish I was there.

[fullmetalathanase]

fantastic

[mom6boyz]

Fabulous!



[vvvv21ful]

The video is not working any more.

[Sun4Niebieskieoczy]

Amazing - my favorite and life changing part is between 1:55 and 2:00. Yes. Don't ask me why ;)

[andreimotuz]

Ohrenitelno! Cut ne opisalsa ! Viva La Charpentier

[larochea103]

Ah! le tedeum de Carpentier et il y a aussi le Rondeau de Mouret , t'écoute ca et apres ca tu peux mourir

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Eccellente! Insuperabile! Superb presentation! Bravissimi Maestro Martin Gester e Le Parlement de Musique! It's only just that a French group performe this French masterpiece and in Versailles, where Louis XIV impulsed French culture so greatly.

[Goljar]

There should not be one seat vacant! Glorious, magnificent!

[cadmiumpureland]

Divine! I like the drum's echoing; It adds to the magnificent & grandness of the music.

[frankbuccia]

I love it....l'adoro....j'adore!!!

[carosaxone]

@frankbuccia bello, vero? un capolavoro! l'ho caricato per intero tagliando le diverse parti se ti piace. un caro saluto

[frankbuccia]

@carosaxone si un capolavoro.....io adoro il clavicembalo!!!! ate un caro saluto!!!!

[dolorandoardo]

splendida esecuzione, la migliore che ho sentito fino ad oggi

[Mag57400]

Le timbalier est mon prof !!

[burkewhb]

This music is beautiful baroque. It would be perfect for Christmas.

[1955129]

AMAZING, THE MOST CLOSE TO AN ORIGINAL VERSION. I´M SURE CARPENTIER SIGN WITH PRIDE THIS PERFORMANCE.

BY THE WAY, ANYBODY CAN TELL ME WHO IS PERFORMING THIS MASTERPIECE?

[19Edurne]

@1955129

Just click on the button "more" just below the video, all the details are there.

[cabaleroamor]

Me encanta!!!

[Piquet36]

Amongst the greatest glories of the age of Louis XIV ranks Monsieur Charpentier.

[jazzygirlmhs]

Love this particular rendition. Do you know where I can get an mp3 or CD or other recording of this performance?

[1955129]

@jazzygirlmhs DID SOMEBODY ANSWER YOU ABOUT WHO IS PERFORMING THIS INCREDIBLE PIECE?

[capvtmvndi90]

EUROPA SUPER OMNIA

[andre3456789]

What is the instrument at 1:43?

[PereGolese]

@andre3456789 Hi. The instrument is called 'serpent'. You can get more infos in wikipedia ;-)

[andre3456789]

@PereGolese Thanks!!!!

[italokid80]

-----the blonde girl with long hair 8-)

[MouzahQatar]

I am the video owner, delete it or I'll report you. Don't I am just joking

[GermFreeAdolescents2]

splendid period instrumentation. magnificent timbre.

[ddiazh]

Excelente!!! Una de las mejores versiones de esta gran obra de Charpentier!!!

[marteloto1]

YEAH!!! GREAT!!!!

[Pfaffenfresser1]

6 people are Lady Gaga-Fans ...

[kotetsu131]

Aside from being historically informed and musically immaculate, the best thing about this performance is that the musicians appear to be enjoying themselves!

[19Edurne]

I'm agnostic, but this should have been the official anthem for Europe (in a sense it was already).

[dankwarth]

for me the timpani is a way too loud!

[phanuruch8555]

It was Eurovision anthem.

[staryjaszczur]

OMG:) what a performance ,i think the best i have heard so far

[DidoneAbbandonata]

Jeremie Papasergio : serpent

Yasunori Imamura : theorbo

[TheAaronmoses]

Bravo!!!

[MarathonRunner89]

The part at 1:22 is the recognized "Prelude" to Te Deum.  What is all the music from the beginning to 1:22? Is that part of the Prelude, too? I cannot find this part in most online scores that I have searched.

[NovHak]

@MarathonRunner89 I'm not 100% sure, but have an ear at "Fanfare pour le Carrousel Royal" by Lully. It seems to me I've heard it there

[capvtmvndi90]

glory europe!

[sue200012]

Thank you so much for this. Absolutely love it.

[Keytaster]

damn, that did swing... amazing rendition. it was hard not to stand up an dance to it. They really nailed it with this performance. Mostly, this piece is played with too much kitsch, but yeah, they got the right touch here. beautiful. I think Charpentier would be proud to hear it like that!

[grafvondritten]

Esto deberia haber sonado en el funeral de Herr Otto von Habsburg. Era el presidente ideal de una Europa unida. Personas tan grandes hay pocas.

[molealto]

Anyone else noticed the gorgeous blonde violinist? ;)

[abelbeau99]

@molealto

She is superb

just like this interpretation !

[Counterop]

@molealto Yes, I mentioned it several months ago.

[hrbzuf]

@molealto No, we were distracted with the splendorous chinese lute player.

[whiterabbit75]

@hrbzuf

It was the middle cello player at 2:04 for me. :P

[ermejoderoma999]

i love hearing this music <3

[PrimeMinisterOfEarth]

great!

[TheKanga32]

Love it! Thank you so much for posting it!

[jcaldu1]

Thanks so much! keep doing it and contact me if you need legal help!

[TheAaronmoses]

What a Divine Music !!! ... what a great orchestra ...

[TheAaronmoses]

Gott. klingt das schön ---- und so lebendig, frisch und jung ...

[danbeane]

This is great! I have misplaced a very fast & brassy version, which also says Mezzo and is done in a religious edifice. Do you know of an even better version? I commented on this one but don't know how to find my comment and the link...

[molealto]

Swing those inegales, baby :)

[rociiio97]

Tsss ! JANSIAS

[Ignorantissimus]

If the Vietcong had countered with this anti-aircraft (instead of the .50-caliber mounted on the little Citroen 2CV), every U.S. helicopter would beat a retreat - with all due respect to Wagner

[logica10]

This is a great rendition of this masterpiece. I used to listen organ + trumpet versions, but this one is outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

[banshee8228]

It's simply... perfect... so medieval......

[Ankha38]

@banshee8228 It's not really a medieval music :$

[KarlAmade]

@banshee8228 Baroque?

[iw3ilm]

Semplicemente fantastico! L'introduzione con le due trombe barocche e i timpani mi fa impazzire. Esecuzione unica.

[ImperXVIII]

Man, when the solo timpani begins (right before the actual, written Prelude, at 1:16)! This piece is addictive!

[Devastator516]

I love this!

[JeremiahSola]

what kind of instrument is that at 1:44?

[gjack40]

@JeremiahSola If you're asking about the long curly instrument, it's called a serpent, a bass woodwind, prob. originated circa 17th/18thC

[banshee8228]

@JeremiahSola I don't know the correct name in english. In spanish is "oficleido" or "serpenton". It's the ancestor of tubas and euphoniums.

A greeting from Spain.

[logica10]

@banshee8228 the correct name in english is "ophicleide". Some organs have stops named after this instrument, e.g., the most powerful in the world is the "Grand Ophicleide" in Atlantic City Convention Hall organ, with 2,5 metres (water column) of air pressure.

[LOVERofCLASSIC]

@JeremiahSola

is called Serpent . This is a bass wind instrument

[burkewhb]

I've always loved baroque music by Handel and Vivaldi, but this music is marvelous!

I had never listened to Charpentier before, and I'm really impressed.

The timpanist and the trumpet players are really good in this.

[extremechaser91]

This remember me Eurovison....awesome!

[purre25]

Best interpretation and in true baroque style love it.

[gavinfarkas]

Charpentier, why have we forgotten you!? You are brilliant!

[BaruchAttaAdonay]

This is just so amazing..... I regret we have no composer like Charpentier :(

[belamoure]

Louis XIV would have not tolerated the slow motion of many modern interpretations of this Te DEUM; he often in his youth participated in many speedy court ballets orchestrated by gay Lully, and he wanted joy and alacrity of execution to be part of his triumphs. What joy and light springs from that interpretation. I love the cymbalist execution! Superb.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

OUTSTANDING! This tempo and rhythm are perfect for the triumphant Baroque of Louis XIV's time... and for mine!

[punchthedog]

What are the brass instruments called. The look like a trumpet/trombone hybrid.

[davehshs]

@punchthedog They're baroque trumpets.

[NorbertZF]

@punchthedog

They are "baroque" trumpets. No valves like on the modern trumpet.

[beidlgsicht]

a bit too honky tonk

[gavinfarkas]

This is so not stuffy like other interpretations

[Fakeslimshady]

2:00 HOLY, is that a PIPA?!

[Angelos1975GR]

@Fakeslimshady No, it is a THEORBO in 2:00. It was developed during the late sixteenth century, inspired by the demand for extended bass range for use in opera and musical works based on basso continuo. Theorbo signifies a number of long-necked lutes with second peg-boxes. a similar instrument is the Angelique which combines features of the lute, the harp, and the Theorbo. Pipa (also known as Chinese lute) but it does not resemble both Theorbo & Angelique instruments.

[DaveGOPBoy]

Absolutely STUNNING...this lifts my spirits to heights unknown. THANKS for this "authentic" performance on period instruments!

[iw3ilm]

Semplicemente FANTASTICO! Il timpanista è uno con le palle!

[Counterop]

It's a great interpretation , but I think it is a little too fast. You lose some of the regal majesty of the piece when you go this fast. I think the interpretation by Les Arts Florissants uploaded by "ilcodega" has the best tempo. Also, has anyone noticed the stunningly attractive blond violinist in the front row who appears in this video? She is one of the reasons I return to this video (aside from the great playing of the orchestra, of course).

[Pfaffenfresser1]

GREAT!!

[Javier141145]

¡¡¡Muy bello!!!

[FRAGIORGIO1]

This is fine fast. It is a triumphal song of thanks to God: Te Deum laudamus (We praise you O God). This is the epoch of Louis XIV, remember. Glory, triumph, energy, self-confidence. Marvelous performance. I keep returning to this stirring piece by these wonderful artists.

[pope0331]

Grandiosa ejecución de esta obra, sobre todo con los instrumentos de la época. Hubiera sido genial también que se hubieran vestido con ropa de la época tal y como se ve en la película "Tous les matins du monde".

[requiem131988]

it`s Great and beautiful !!

[AuroraOnVenice]

SOOOOO FAST!!! I LOVE IT!

[FergusMcClelland]

The real thing!!!! Thanks - utterly stunning swooooon! Can I use this extract to inspire audiences please?

[carosaxone]

@FergusMcClelland Of course you can!

[FergusMcClelland]

The real thing!!!! Thanks

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Thank you, carosaxone, as well as Martin Gester and Le Parlement de Musique and the soloists and choir. All were magnificent!

[MrQuebec]

Très belle interprétation dans la chapelle St-Louis à Versailles. Tout est là.

[Bajazet67]

Grandissima interpretazione con strumenti originali impreziosita anche dalla pesenza del serpentone.

[wordwitch54]

Wow. Thrilling. Many antique instruments in evidence.

[TheAaronmoses]

Bravo ! Mann kann nicht aufhören zu hören ---- bis zum Hörsturz ... AR

[Trippuh]

I'm Dutch, but Charpentier is one of the best

[bichotte69]

VIVE LA FRANCE!

[Berokymilk]

@bichotte69 Vive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[burkewhb]

I've never listened to Charpentier before, but I love this. The guys on the horns and

the fellow on the timpani are excellent. Great baroque music, about the best I've

heard. Mouret's music, that they use for the theme for "Masterpiece Theatre" is very

good, too, but I like this better.

[jos53cor]

Muy buena interpretación...

[velazquezjop]

Grandiosa interpretacion !!! : )

[TheAaronmoses]

Da Capo !!! With tears in my ... .eyes and a burning heart ...

The VERY BEST version I've ever heard ...

Thank You again ... Aaron .

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@TheAaronmoses You too got tears in your eyes? It's incredible, is it not? What a glorious performance!

[kaffelatte2]

2:25 They really enjoy playing it!

[FRAGIORGIO1]

A superb interpretation. Can it be improved? Hard to believe. It has moved me greatly to hear this marvelous performance of Le Parlement de Musique. Vive la France et vive M A Charpentier! Bravissimi tutti quanti: il direttore, i musici, il coro, i cantanti! Singularly brilliant. Magnifique.

[mrzebra99]

great style! if you're interested in Charpentier performed at his best, check out William Christie....

[McJayJazz]

Does anyone know when this was broadcasted on Mezzo? I need it for a paper that I'm writing for school.

[bwv549]

Where can I buy this recording? It is a wonderful performance.

[CarlosFinch]

Le Parlement de Musique conducted by Martin Gester.

[burkewhb]

I think this music is fabulous. I've never heard anything like it except the

theme to Masterpiece Theater. I love horns and timpani!

[jpchamant]

très belle prestation car difficile à bien interpréter et orchestrer.

chapeau(x) Messieurs.

[Androjaeger]

... and the drummer really rocked

[dsyglym]

i'm gonna sing this with a'dam conservatory students !

[cclairm95]

great interpretation

[JustOneMoreChild]

While I normally prefer Te Deum played on a church pipe organ, this is one of the best interpretations I've heard!

[burkewhb]

This music is truly delightful! The guy playing the timpani is superb.

[MajorHoward7]

Vive le roy...

[TheAaronmoses]

What a great performance ! What a Divine Music !!! AR.

[Joshversailles]

Are they in the chapel at Versailles? It really looks like they are

[TheAaronmoses]

Bravo and Thank You ...

[Dumnac1]

Musique grandiose, interprétation magnifique.

Que du bonheur !!!

[BaruchAttaAdonay]

Best interpretation ever !!!!

[ryanscarola]

Yes...this is by far the best interpretation I've heard on YouTube.

[Igaluit]

Carosaxone always brings us the most original, lively and inspiring versions of the great clasical works. Many thanks to him.

[fcouperin]

maybe it is that i'm just too fond of fireworks, but the only problem of this piece is that all the Te Deum proper seems quite bland in comparison with the prelude...

[ze11er]

Tooooo fast...

[shareddreams]

I keep watching this performance so often, it's almost like I know all the players personally. Absolutely great, Charpentier would have been proud!!

[donhenri01]

waw, it is recorded in the royal chapel of Versailles palace.

[Anjoucat]

Forget the travesty of this music that is the 'Eurovision theme', this is how Charpentier should be played!

[SorenSorenssen]

@Anjoucat I absolutely agree!! I'm an amateur, of course, and I have always thought  this wonderful theme should be played faster and faster and faster to be expressive, BUT now I see it doesn't need the SPEED to show its beauty, it needs the right interpretation, the one I hear on this video! It's great, the best of the many I have heard!

[Angelos1975GR]

@Anjoucat I totally agree with you. it's a magnificent piece of truly baroque music (the entire De Deum) and must be played by authentic instruments of that era.

[BachsEnkel]

Best interpretation I heard on YouTube.

[szeryfster]

What instrument is at 1:44 ?

[midgrid]

@szeryfster It's a serpent.

[Schollistico]

Bravi!!!

[stickom]

I think I feel like try playing serphant, it looks like horn but it's wooden?! (if only has a horn mouthpiece?!)
