Phenomenal rendition of the Overture from The Marriage of Figaro.

John Eliot Gardiner conducts the English Baroque Soloists - famous for their use of period instruments.

  • Look at 2:48: I didn't know Charlie Sheen played the cello... lol... Very good performance, a little bit faster than I'm used to, but very good.

  • I'm going to be honest, I prefer this version over others because of the speed. While many are saying that it's too fast, I think it's more expressive with the descending runs towards the end of the piece. It always gives me chills! Beautiful nevertheless!!

  • @adambakeradam1 Yeah. I gotta have more COWBELL!!!

  • @18478yoo This is not a song. There is no singer.

  • Wow, the woodwinds (oboe?) is so very crisp with the runs like you hear in 0:27 and 0:52. Bellissimo!

  • ...fastest song ive ever played with orchestra....they play as if it is a fucking etude

  • EPIC

  • If you're impressed by Charlie Sheen's skills, check out Harry Potter's conducting savvy. Search Youtube for "Recording the Der Hölle Rache - Diana Damrau". Harry stars around @1:00

  • @Bach1Beethoven that's charlie sheen? lol

  • @KingOfTheFiddle are you kidding me? our high school band is playing this song. and we may have a soprano sax playing the oboe part but she is doing just fine with the speed. this is not digitally accelerated. you're just an ignorant person who spits out shit trying to make others believe you know music.

  • Can’t you idiots hear that this “phenomenal rendition” has been digitally modified and accelerated? Who the hell knows a oboist that can perform at that speed @ 0:55 and @ 1:00??? And this from a Baroque orchestra? BS!
