  • I guess you would say this piece is sort of the classical equivalent of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"! It is an absolute musical tour de force! This piece, if not played with absolute skill and precision, can become almost a parody of itself. In the hands of Mr. Ozawa, that certainly is not true. Brilliantly done! Thank you.

  • @sbutler0727 You are most welcome. If you want the complete recording of this Burana, in higher quality mp3 than here, please just send me a message and your email address to my YouTube inbox.

  • What is the orchestration for this piece?

  • @TheEmperorChing23 What do you mean? The composers orchestration? I don't have a score available, I'm afraid...

  • @Errenton We'll have to agree to differ on that. My historical readings indicate that he prolifically believed in Nazism. I can only say that his recorded behaviour during and after the Nazi reign would have put him as a Nazi.

    It's not hugely important given the fact that you have to acknowledge this great piece of music for what it is, but it's important to point out the polity behind it.

  • @hullaballoo84 I think that politics is one question, music another. I don't think it is important to know one jot about the historical circumstances about this piece of music to appreciate it qua music. In fact, if the entire recorded history of its composition were to disappear, the music would still be entirely what it is: magnificent. A thing is entirely separate from its causal genesis.

  • It is nice and well done... why Youtube seem to be more and more a place for people to put their stingy anger and negative criticisms? We read so many unpleasant words over here... Than God we have a lot psting positive points of view too, why being so unpleasant? Let's make the world a better place starting from our desks!

  • @TheSacredSound6 Not any more than the song already does.

  • @HomelyCooking I hope you're not encouraging underage drinking with that comment!

  • god, this one's a tongue twister

  • Ah, drink: the great equalizer. The boy, the priest, the old woman, the white man, the black man; we are all one people when we're stinking drunk.

  • This bit always reminds of the main theme from Chrono Trigger. Love it!

  • EXCELLENT

  • Sooo... the other day me and like 6 of my friends broke into this one at my school's courtyard :D it was kinda awesome haha we totally drew a crowd

  • @darkprose I want it!
