Rimsky-Korsakov - The Flight Of The Bumblebee - 8 pianos

[sumacskates]

OMG SO MANY FINGERS

[andreaaraceli95]

wow....amazing:)

[twerpist]

those 81 bleppoes who disliked this deserve to be stung by the BUMBLEBEE!

[gun96221]

Okay...

[haeyin]

Overkill. Excellent though. Love how they split the parts.

[Alexberryscarylovee]

Omg that's evgeny kissin?!

[NIKAOMADZE]

Chuck Norris can play it alone on all 8 Grand pianos Tohether!!!

[guitarristapedro]

i keep thinking about the time they took to tune all those pianos...

[MrFluffyFrog]

@guitarristapedro

Considering it takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes to tune a Grand Piano, I'd say 4-8 hours. Not that long.

[Rizoo212]

This is really awesome !!

[PetitGrisMoineau]

Evgeny Kissin is just embodiment of piano virtuoso...that hair, that white suit, exaggerated head movements...and he's incredibly talented pianist, of course. He's the brightest star among modern pianists, imho.

[avi02box]

Does anyone knows who were those 8 masters in the video??

[trevorzhao]

The pianist in blue is LangLang.

[ScottishgirlAnnlorie]

@trevorzhao I love Lang Lang, I got to see him perform Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 at the national memorial day concert :)

[xGucciNL]

@ScottishgirlAnnlorie

Lang lang is probably the youngest one there xD

He's younger than Egvony (can't spell that) dude isn't he?

[NotSoNewJesus]

Anybody in that room not wearing solid gold armor was instantly vaporized at the first note from over-exposure to sheer awesomeness.

[cooltamaka]

Awesome Hairstyle, Emanuel Ax:) Everyone just look great!!!!

[cuterainbowfish]

Okay, for the record guys, they're not playing Flight of the Bumblebee the same way at the same time. It's a version that was arranged for eight pianos. You only have to look at their hands to see that they are not playing the same notes at the same time. People play songs this way quite frequently. It is still really impressive, and the musicians are really good, but if 8 different people were actually playing Flight of the Bumblebee in unison, I would probably cry from happiness.

[Anyafish]

@cuterainbowfish Get the tissues, I'm with you xD

[istocco]

muy bien el director que hizo mover las cámaras imitando el vuelo de las abejas...

[MarcusKane]

I can't follow their fingers, the audio is not syncronized. Aw...

[nhickification]

Awesome! 8 grand pianos?!? Cool!

[tontelion]

Великолепное исполнение

[julianne1815]

amazing piano!just perfect!

[MrRaphaelBM]

Hahahaha Kissin and Lang-Lang together !!

[justlooseit8567]

Wow Kissin, Lang Lang, Lavigne, Argerith and 4 others? Beast

[ngpiano72]

@justlooseit8567 Do you mean Argerich? If so, I don't see her

[Nejra]

fuck this is boring

[vgneus]

@Nejra ignorant idiot.

[Nejra]

@vgneus

calm down bic boi, i find this song boring as fuck

nothing ignorant about that

[boedhaspeaks]

there are lots of musicians who can play this better alone.

[FreackZz]

LOL lang lang counting from 1 to 10 in chinese at 0:47.

yi, er, san, si, wu, liu, qi, ba, jiu, shi.

[mdbtrz]

astonishing!

[AlexanderWung]

its out of sync

[filipedgb]

@AlexanderWung and that was the point...

[Rrriesgo]

Does anyone know the names of the seven pianists?

[RolandoPiccolo]

@Rrriesgo I spotted Kissin, Leif Ove Ansdnes, Lang Lang, and I think Lugansky...

[jamlamR22]

mystifying...

[AUSmusical]

LANG LANG!!!

[edtskyline]

1:19 Someone need a haircut xD!

[HVHgBVhV]

[cooltamaka]

[Crunkmastaflexx]

[deathboy998]

[panter1993ja]

oigan ¿ahi aparece evgeny kissin?

[Madcr0ws]

sounds kind of strange but I like it.

[killermike215]

This is amazing.

[iplongnin]

Who were there? I can see Kissin, Lang Lang, Emauel Ax, James Levine, and perhaps Pletnev. But others I didn't recognize.

[michelesestu]

sounds a bit like cziffra's one-piano version

[fatfuckfucker]

Psh trust a Chinese guy to be there, all Asians are piano masters xD

But in all serious this is crazzzyy xD

[xGucciNL]

@fatfuckfucker

Actually all the pianist that went to wall of fame, only 1 or 2 asians made the list JA!. I'm asian but w/e There is only one that i know that is really on fire right now, Lang Lang but daz about all. All the rest of them are from like Europe or somewhere else.

[LhwProduktion]

mystery guitar man

[BBCart100]

G R E A T !!!

[pyat77]

With the pianos being each slightly off on the runs, it made it really sound like a bumblebee's buzz. Cool!

[oliveberry13]

the pianist that is first showed, is that kissin?

[WianaotBrriarNod]

@oliveberry13 yup.

[oliveberry13]

@WianaotBrriarNod cool.

Leif Ove Andsnes, Emanuel Ax, James Levine, and as mentioned below, Evengy Kissin, and Lang Lang. Three left - anyone recognize them? They are hardly on film! Love the music and the performers! Crappy video production!

Love your comment, BlikeNave!

[WianaotBrriarNod]

@garakflute AH HA!!!! I have found a list of all the pianists that are featured in this video!!! They are...

Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, Mikhail Pletnev, Lief Ove Andsnes, James Levine, Emanuel Ax, Nicholas Angelich, Steffan Scheja

[WianaotBrriarNod]

can anyone recognize any of them???

On the top of my head, I can name Evengy Kissin, but I don't know anybody else.

[theorganist]

@WianaotBrriarNod Lang Lang!!

[michaelnyman1]

They got a lot of very good pianists...Phenomenal

[Carmex776]

[kashimashima52]

is beautiful art of music -tears-

[Fabianlindo1]

Beautiful =L

[kennykuo100]

Incredible..amazing how they can all keep in time with each other..!

[skylinez13]

fantastic. nice performance !!!

[ElJefer]

Respectfully, I don't see why this song is so special

[NaviMath]

It's extremely fast and difficult to learn XD

[Anyafish]

it's just that it's fast and "full" of notes xD;; If you're a real pianist, with the proper practice, this would be easy. but to those who don't understand music as musicians do, this is another one of those "impressive" pieces that's fast and "hard to learn".

the reason why this particular version is so special is because it's basically difficult to be synchronized with 7 other pianists at that speed, while simultaneously keeping the musicality of it.

(i hope that made sense xD;;)

[kenlim796]

Do not judge a book by its cover

u have to feel it, and that's call music...

Flight Of The BumbleBee..

[nedyuen]

is there any link where i can download the score for this 8-pianos version?

[nedyuen]

anywhere can i download the score for this 8-pianos version?

[94657649]

Maksim is disgusting

Seriously, any like conservatory student could have a better technique.

He's just popular with the right looks and marketing strategy and the appeal to those people who have no idea about classical music.

But if you compare him to real classical pianist, he is as good as a peanut

[3Tommyx3]

I bet you that juja wang can play this better then them by her self

[HardstyleSoldier7777]

True i agree with you totally but Maksim does it like masterpiece its just perfection !!!

[MsLilbetty]

soooo awesome!!! :D

[lovemebaby64]

Ninja fingers!!!

[kongoman123]

@lovemebaby64 Chuck Norris plays this with one finger

[djdast08]

@kongoman123 chuck norris plays this with his penis

[elixiress]

Fantastic performance but really, is there any pianist at all out there who has nice, well-styled hair?

[urahara53]

@elixiress maksim mrvica

[charliecccup]

DON'T APEAR IN VIDEO, BUT, THERE'S A WOMAN. Martha Argenrich from Argentina. I need to watch the complete video of this concert. who can help me?

[NickyMarshall1]

[IloveSPIDERZ]

LMAO at BlikeNave's comment!

[manice08]

my band teacher played this for S**ts and giggles during band class, while he was i jumped up in my chair, flailed and yelled "BEEEES!!!"

[RondoAllaMusica]

Awesome, didn't hear any mistakes or notes that didn't go simultaneously

[MrQwertyman1337]

THAT, was terrifying...in  a beautiful way.

[qdoihfsalkfjh]

wonderful!

[dodgersrule27]

Sweet!

[JerryLCJ]

Woo

[BlikeNave]

I can picture the Devil saying to people who've just arrived in Hell: "You can leave, as soon as you and these seven other people can play flight of the bumblebee perfectly at the same time."

[dvg3019]

LOL - that is hysterical!!! Very nice, BlikeNave!

[BMXer00555]

You could never leave then. haha

[RockTheStones]

hahahahahahahaahahahahahaq

[physphilmusic]

@BlikeNave Actually Emannuel Ax on the DVD said that playing in such a combination has less pressure, since you can make a mistake but no one will really notice.

[dvg3019]

What is the purpose of your post? Music is a language, not a competition. You want to compete, go bowling.

[resoloser]

some people just don't have any sense of humor!

haha that's freaking hilarious!

Maestro Diablo!

[nargor]

i supose you noticed that they have it just for a guide... just in case they get lost.... thay can remember ir very well... but if one has a mistake.... they cannot afford it.asshole.

[BlikeNave]

Lol. Ok. So none of these piano players are "musicians". Got it.

[sensangsun]
