Commodore c64 orchestra plays Monty o/t Run by Rob Hubbard

C64 orchestra (Commodore 64)
Music of Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel performed by C64 orchestra.
A co-production by Micromusic Netherlands and productiehuis Oost-Nederland (ON).
For this new production, Micromusic and productiehuis ON combined forces and invited members of the Dutch Ricciotti ensemble. Together with conductor Bas Wiegers they founded the C64 orchestra. This new orchestra focuses their attention on the groundbreaking 80s computer, the Commodore 64. Micromusic and ON also approached two of the most experienced C64-composers of the 1980's, Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel. The C64 orchestra will perform their music, with scoring done by Rob Hubbard himself. The game scores that are to be performed include the following Rob Hubbard compositions: Delta, Commando, Monty on the Run, One Man And His Droid and International Karate.
Also Jeroen Tel's Cybernoid II, Hawkeye, Myth and Supremacy will be performed.

Man. Its so easy to dismiss the old tunes as "mere" computer game music, but you hear one of them (admittedly monty on the run was an absolute standout) rendered by a competent orchestra and you realise that guys like hubbard where serious talents nutting out via pure creativity how to turn a bleepy little thing like a sid into an actual instrument. Sublime.

Rob Hubbard was genius, no question about it

This version is almost Elfman/Boingo'ish. It's awesome.

The best original music for any game composed. EVER. (Although Rob did slightly crib the main riff from Dick Barton Special agent, but we can forgive him that.)

They should do Master of Magic.

@svilaro1102 NO!...They should add MONTY ON THE RUN. Cause that's where it originated!

[GameMusicCompilation]

some of the finest classical music of our time.

how ironic.

@shayne0neill one of the best comments i read in youtube.

This is amazing of course, but I still prefer the SID version. And to me the whole song had more of an instrumental rock-ish sound and progression than a clasical one (the bass and drums breakdown complete with phasing for example). I'd love to hear this played by something more resembling a rock band, perhaps even with synths and a violin to play the "mad fiddler" part near the end.

They should have had IWBTG on screen instead of what they had XD
