I was in the Fourth Grade and I came in the Front door my Big Brother was playing this on Record.. I immediately fell in love with Emerson Lake and Palmer.. in a big way
I play this song on keyboards and it is unbelievably difficult. Keith Emerson plays it effortlessly. I struggle through the whole thing. Emerson was more of a contemporary classical avant-garde composer than Rock. I rate him as one of the great composers ever, which may sound silly, I was classically trained from page 5 on piano. He is just a genius of incomparable Talent. this Symphony rendition is a huge tribute to ELP and is dynamic and fantastic!
I am a drummer with little ability on the keys and was lucky enough to know a guy in my home town with a Hammond B 3 and a Minimoog who had the Tarkus sheets and could play it, at least some parts of it. I carried my vintage Ludwig kit to his rehearshing room, and we practiced it without a bass player. After finishing he showed me the parts he played, and I wrote down the keys for both hands because I cannot read music. Being at home I practiced it on my Yamaha DX 7. This was 25 years ago, and recently I found back my notes. It is very rewarding playing this great music, and I owe all this to my friend who unfortunately passed away several years ago. Every time I hear this piece I remember him, he was a great keyboarder. Luckily I have some tape recordings...
Você definiu com felicidade o trabalho dessa magnífica orquestra. A canção cresceu ainda mais sob a batuta do grandíssimo regente e seus admiráveis músicos regidos.
More proof that Keith Emerson was composing serious music in a rock context that will live forever. I would definitely see an orchestral concert of Emerson's work. No disrespect to Lake and Palmer.
With all due respect, that concert could be Nice, but probably a boring piano/synth concert, not an assembly, orchestral classic rock concert like this one. it is worth to mention that practically all melody and counter-melody lines are by Lake, and percussion by Palmer is awesome by itself while perfectly matched to Emerson/Lake compositions. Looking at the Pictures at an Exhibition's composers/arrangers will depict this.
the time signature of tarkus is from carl, he give to keith, is a mix of practicing time signature of carl at the time mix with ideas of keith at the time, its a thing tell lake in one interview, but yes, keith is the maestro, with davis and zappa one of the most important musicians in modern music
Its incredile how GOOD is Tarkus in a orchestral cover. The ELP music is so tecnical and so articulated that fits perfectly well in a polyphonic rendition of a classic orchestra.
Keith, Greg, and Carl were all in their early twenties when they created “Tarkus”…I was 13 yrs old the first time I listened to the lp..still playing it today..50 years later..a masterpiece! Don’t forget about the “b” side of Tarkus.
Mr Roy. I'm the youngest of 5 brothers. But I can remember crawling around on the floor and being terrified if this album cover. Saying that ELP has been in my blood for close to 54 years. It is just as alive as it was then. I had a great friend play Trilogy on a full concert grand at my brother's passing early this year. It was very emotional but also very justified. After listening to recording from the funeral and talking with my friend. He told me he knew of the song and heard it many time but never sat down and try to play it. When I asked if he would he said he would be honored but really didn't know It, and kinda short notice. But I've known this guy since grade school and I knew he would do a very good job at it. And I'm here to say he nailed it Spot on. I couldn't of asked for a better friend to come through for me like that. And I'm sure my brother was honored by it.
My guess is Takashi Yoshimatsu might've arranged it. I can't say for certain but they show him several times in the crowd in the video and he is a composer who loves ELP. If you like this arrangement you should check out some of his symphonies. They're fantastic!
Keith was proud and he loved the conductor. Several years ago he respond a comment I do on his facebook page when hi posted this very concert, about how cool seems to me the conductor. He replies telling how much he loved this work especial the conductor and tell me his name. I recall it was almost the only comment he do on that post. I can't believe he took the time to comment, but he did it . Months later I knew he killed himself.
It's a great shame he is not here to witness this. All three were talented beyond all normal standards and the composition skills and playing ability of Keith was just outstanding. His ability in bringing all the sounds created here by a full orchestra to live audiences by just the three individuals was magic. I know because I saw them...more than once. Phenominal on stage and just as intricate as the studio version only better because of the additional improvisation they treated a live audiences to. They can be copied and emulated today but I don't see the shear creative genious of ELP anywhere nowadays. A once in a lifetime gift that will last for generations.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Brilliantly done full of life and excitement. The maestro in this is incredible. You can tell he is in love with this piece of music.
@@MarioGimeno The conductor is different, but there is a recording of the same arrangement played by the same orchestra. I don't know if you can find it on Spotify, but you can find it by searching for "Tarkus-Classic Meets Rock".
Echoing BrainPolice5's comment, it's absolutely amazing just how much musical sound came from these 3 musicians vs. a full orchestra. ELP were truly one of a kind greats.
Hearing ELP orchestrated like this really helps to highlight the band's influence on Koji Kondo. Some parts of this sound like they could be lifted out of Zelda, especially with this arrangement. It's such a beautiful approach to such an important piece of music.
I think this arrangement might be by Takashi Yoshimatsu. Hasn't scored any video games (although he did the astro boy 2003 reboot) but his music sounds very Zelda (it's what brought me here!)
Getting honored by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra is the kind of homage that few musicians ever deserve :) I only wish the transitions had more edit (and seconds between)... どうもありがとうございました
Magníficos arreglos y orquestación. Me ha emocionado profundamente. No lo conocía, aunque soy fanático de ELP y he tenido la increíble suerte de poder verlos en vivo en 1997. Jamás he podido olvidar ese concierto. Al final del mismo, Emerson se subió al órgano e interpretó la Toccata y Fuga de Bach con las manos cambiadas y al revés... una pieza que ya es muy difícil de tocar normalmente. Keith Emerson vive por siempre, en mis recuerdos.
This is so good, just shows how much ELP was virtuoso at their music. I love this version because it gives room to so many instruments of the orchestra. This reminds me of Holt's "Planet" in some way. But indeed a lot of solid rock music can and is played with a classical orchestra with much "grandeur" !!! Bravo !
Though (ofcourse) every musician familiar with this piece likes to play certain parts in certain ways, of which follows me not being too enthusiastic about the pulse at some bits, I should definately say it has been turned into an orchestral piece wonderfully and I absolutely LOVE the aquatarkus of this version - great job :)
I think Aquatarkus and Eruption are the two part where they really nailed. If you listen the short excerpt arranged for the Royal Philarmonic you can realize that is more easy and musical but this one is epic form Aquatarkus till the end. I think that's a value: ua-cam.com/video/jGdof9OknEo/v-deo.html
Actually, this video is a bit edited. In the actual TV version, between the First Tarkus part and the latter, Marty plays Piano part of Rafmaninoff Piano Concert No.2 Third part as a Rock playing with Orchestra vs. Tarkus's Orchestra plays the rock. It is quite good.
¡¡¡Tre-men-do !!! que laburo de transcribir esta obra genial que me volaba la cabeza cuando era un adolescente [ bueno y tambien ahora... llegue buscando viejos Tarkus en vivo y descubri esto ... mamita ] recuerdo el album con ese armadillo con cañones y toda una fauna onirica; lo que debe haber sido en vivo escuchar esta orquestacion. Como era de esperarse termine emocionado, riendome, sacudiendo los brazos, casi diria feliz jaaa ... el director tambien gozaba el momento, se nota, solamente quien dirigio una banda o una orquesta conoce el placer de escuchar el trabajo realizado despues de horas y horas de escritura y ensayo; un merecidisimo homenaje a Keith Emerson. Me apena un poquin, en la mezcla, los instrumentos menos sonoros son aplastados por la percusion, pero igual esta fabuloso. Desde Ushuaia, Argentina agradezco a don Yutaka Sado por hacernos pasar tan agradable momento!!
Tarkus original já é maravilhoso mas nessa versão orquestra não há palavras p definir a grandiosidade magnitude ou seja lá qual for a definição dessa obra prima!!!! Só nos resta agradecer imensamente!!!!!! Obrigado
At the beginning of the 70s there was a new Renaissance ( Rinascimento) of music not everyone noticed it and many confuse music with the appropriate labels, pop, rock jazz and blues, Tarkus is an opera that has nothing to envy to the symphonic music of the past, but this will be understood in many years, the transcription for orchestra is superlative, perfect performance. Iemma Rinaldo
*Portuguese* É incrível ver como Keith Emerson era um virtuoso... Quantos músicos são necessários para fazer o som que ele fazia sozinho. . . *English* It's incredible to see how much of a virtuoso Keith Emerson was... How many musicians it takes to make the sound he made alone. . .
The arrangement of this was done by the amazing composer Takashi Yoshimatsu by the way. Never knew there was a performance recorded on video! Always tried to find it over Yoshimatsu's name, it seems he's not mentioned by anyone here though, which is kind of a shame I think.
One of the highlights of my life was when Keith gave me this on CD. I had never heard it before and we played it in the car, he was so excited, and just love to hear his Music performed in this way!
Conductor was Mr. Yutaka Sado. Mr. Sachio Fujioka was premier conductor. Premier live is below(sound only). ua-cam.com/video/cYkxBQquymE/v-deo.htmlsi=4Lk3A98V5d_dTf90 Yoshimatsu told about Tarkus (only Japanese sorry) ua-cam.com/video/uKxjOmR91qA/v-deo.htmlsi=giq7BpxBOEy9ABnt
THANK YOU for reposting!! I'll have to say that I like this orchestral version of Tarkus better than the Three Fates Project version, which was VERY good and yes, did feature Keith and the Moog but our friends in the 'Land of The Rising Sun' did Keith's work justice with a chilling finale! I wish that I could obtain a professional recording of this to listen to!How many other rock bands' music (other than perhaps The Beatles) can be so successfully be interpreted by a full orchestra so well? ...not many! RIP Mr. Emerson & know your work will be loved by many generations to come!
This orchestral version was used in a historical drama of the Japanese Middle Ages("Taira no Kiyomori"). This may sound strange, but it was great! EL&P was very popular band in Japan, even my father had an LP of them. Many Japanese composers were influenced by them, such as Nobuo Matsuo, known for his music in Final Fantasy series. so, It makes sense some of the people says It's sounds like boss battle music.
Anyone who truly knows music knows that Keith was a genius!!
VERY MUCH SO A GENUS .. BIG TIME!!
I was in the Fourth Grade and I came in the Front door my Big Brother was playing this on Record.. I immediately fell in love with Emerson Lake and Palmer.. in a big way
Society's greatness is measured by their ability to cover ELP.
Brilliant answer hahahahaha
Best (funny) comment I've read in a while ^^ Not wrong at all, however ^^
Exactly.....
Yes, that, along with how humanely they run their prisons.
Truer words were never spoken.

Ditto !!!
It took A LOT of coke to play at level.
Keith Emerson Irraggiungibile inarrivabile
Can you point me to other songs that showcase what you described? Thanks

感涙です。佐渡さんのキースエマーソンへの敬い、体いっぱいに噴火する指揮、難しいフレーズを繋ぎつつ応えた楽団のみなさん。不安な部分も最初ありましたが、エンディングの魂の昇華。

***** Agree.
the time signature of tarkus is from carl, he give to keith, is a mix of practicing time signature of carl at the time mix with ideas of keith at the time, its a thing tell lake in one interview, but yes, keith is the maestro, with davis and zappa one of the most important musicians in modern music
my thoughts exactly too !!
blablabla
Its incredile how GOOD is Tarkus in a orchestral cover. The ELP music is so tecnical and so articulated that fits perfectly well in a polyphonic rendition of a classic orchestra.
Wowie Zowie. Most rock can be orchestrated.
@@tixximmi1 But a lot sounds weird.
This sounds even more avant-garde when played by an orchestra.
I completely agree with you. I would like to listen to Trilogy with orchestra.
I think I prefer it to the original!
Keith, Greg, and Carl were all in their early twenties when they created “Tarkus”…I was 13 yrs old the first time I listened to the lp..still playing it today..50 years later..a masterpiece! Don’t forget about the “b” side of Tarkus.
Mr Roy. I'm the youngest of 5 brothers. But I can remember crawling around on the floor and being terrified if this album cover. Saying that ELP has been in my blood for close to 54 years.

@@williamscompositions1339yes, this song arranged by Takashi Yoshimatsu (吉松隆).
No doubt the director is an ELP fan! He´s so passionate and energetic!
This is probably the coolest thing Ive ever seen
Awesome interpretation of Tarkus. My all time favorite ELP tune. Keith Emerson was a genius. So sad he died so early in such a tragic way. Rip😢
wonderful, about time ELP is recognised for its symphonic beauty
Kieth would be proud. RIP

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Brilliantly done full of life and excitement. The maestro in this is incredible. You can tell he is in love with this piece of music.
Played by Tokyo Philharmony Orchestra conducted by Yutaka Sado at 20/02/2011 for a TV program broadcasted by TV ASAHI, Japan.
hi, you know if is this album available on spotify? :)
It's nice to know that Keith might have listened to this.
@@MarioGimeno The conductor is different, but there is a recording of the same arrangement played by the same orchestra.
I don't know if you can find it on Spotify, but you can find it by searching for "Tarkus-Classic Meets Rock".
Thanks for the necesary info about this Superlative Classic Gem.
Just love how Aquatarkus takes 4 minutes of the entire rendition.

Him and Nobuo Uematsu. He must have been high as a kite on ELP while writing the music for Final Fantasy 6 and 7.
This sounds a bit like Mario Galaxy music too imo
I think this arrangement might be by Takashi Yoshimatsu. Hasn't scored any video games (although he did the astro boy 2003 reboot) but his music sounds very Zelda (it's what brought me here!)
Always listened and loved ELP's version, this orchestral arrangement brought me to tears. Never had such a feeling for a piece of music. 😢
Getting honored by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra is the kind of homage that few musicians ever deserve :) I only wish the transitions had more edit (and seconds between)... どうもありがとうございました
Holy smoke how fantastic was that. Homage indeed to the great Keith Emerson.

I bow in honor to the orchestra, the conductor and also, for taking me on this great journey of Keithès music.
Just imagine the first time these musicians saw this sheet music. And then they find out that ELP played it all with three people.
The battle field section was so beautiful
こんなに難しい曲をアレンジしてフル オケで再現してしまう素晴らしい演奏に感嘆しました、素晴らしいです😂
amazing how the arrangement changes the whole piece. Amazing.
Klasse ,das ist schon große Kunst die Musik von ELP umzusetzen
Fun fact: Marty Friedman (ex Megadeth) was there, you can see him at the end of the video
10:36

He is married to Japanese cellist, Hiyori Okuda
This is so crazy that this even exists, glad I can listen to it
Absolument fabuleux. Emerson était une très grand compositeur. C'est beau de voir le Maestro tripper autant.
Beautiful. Probably the best orchestration of Tarkus I ever listened.
When you are an unique genius....Bravo Mr. Emerson!

Loved it! Best energies from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil ❤️👍🏻
You need to see Rachel Flowers doing this ! Uploaded 4 days ago. Sorry, don't know how to imbed a link to it. All her Emerson work is EXCELLENT. 🎹😘
You're right. She is terrific! Emerson encouraged her.
She is formidable!👻
凄い！タルカスをオーケストラでやろうとした心意気に感服！それにこれを聞くともう楽曲自身がロックを超えて完全な交響楽に完成されている。キースはクラシックの道に進んでも偉大な音楽家として名を残してただろう。
プログレはワリとオーケストラ化と相性が良いように思う。そもそもが20〜30分の大曲を作る人らだし、商業的な成功を見込んでのリリースをこなしつつ、プログレらしくガチガチに世界観を構築してんじゃないかな。

Brought to life in spectacular style by great musicianship.
This is beautiful, what a tribute to ELP, fantastic!
Greatest compliment to ELP . Completely outstanding. Such great musicians. As is Emerson , Lake , and Palmer.

thank you for the name of the composer!
hi, you know if is this album available on spotify? :)
I like his symphony 4 and 5. Well worth looking up.
Yes, thanks so much for his name. This is an amazing transformation of ELP into an orchestra.
Never thought about this but really great and great playing which Japanese classic performers can do.
What a gem! This deserves a larger audience (and hi-res)!
Keith. Is being listened to . ( Finally)
Just found this , thank you so much for making my day ! Truly inspirational
One of the highlights of my life was when Keith gave me this on CD. I had never heard it before and we played it in the car, he was so excited, and just love to hear his Music performed in this way!
Just goes to show one, how important ELP was to the music history of all time.
Soberbia interpretación. Tremendamente emotiva, un tributo enorme a Emerson y Lake.
A terrific tribute to a genius musician/composer. Well performed and transcribed for orchestra!
Thanks for posting this.. Its incredible.. & a testament to how Timeless these compositions are.. RIP Keith and Greg.. you guys were So Great!
great!As an ELP fan, I approve.
Absolutely fantastic. I had low expectations going in and was utterly blown away! Loved it!
Wonderful..would have loved seen this in performance.Wonderful.
I wish to see is reaction today saws this 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵🇬🇧
Mir gefriert das Blut! Einfach nur genial
impossible de de ne pas verser une larme. Oh ce Keith ! Diable d'homme ! Et cet ensemble ! Quel rapprochement émouvant ! Vive la musique !
This AWESOME...right next to Rachel Flowers on acoustic piano. RIP Keith. You will NOT be forgotten. I still have the autograph.
Glad to see the music so well presented. ELP rate up there with the great composers.
Saw ELP 3 times this was great
I do not know who did this arrangement for orchestra, but kudos for capturing the feel, even without electronics. The conductor did a great job.
Choice of instruments for each of the keyboard themes was inspired.
amo a este Director por esta maravillosa orquestacion e interpretación con su Orquesta y amo aun mas el genio de Emerson
Ardito, bellissimo, finale straordinario con tutta l'orchestra lanciata al massimo!
Bravo, Bravissimo!
We can all hear Keith’s signature time sequences in much of his music.
AMAZING!!!
This is such a sign of respect!
Love to hear this gorgeous work in the truest form! Amazing job!!!!!!!!
This brings tears to my eyes. It could've passed off as a Copland composition!
Nice to see Emerson, Lake, and Palmer being up there!
wowww the intensity building up on 6:30 onwards is hugeeeeeee. gives me shivers. Absolute masterpiece
Great work, I like it.
ELP Músicos atemporales sus obras quedarán en perpetuidad para las nuevas generaciones gracias ELP por tanta genialidad y virtuosismo .
