In 2018 I graduated and I wrote my senior year essay about Neil and RUSH. They'll definitely be studied as genuine english material in no more than 40 years.
They did a very good interpretation of it, but it just goes to show how intricate and complex Rush's music is. Xanadu is a classic, and I would regard the live Exit Stage Left version as the best live performance of any song by any band ever! Sixteen people trying to replicate what three people did live, and nobody attempting the horsing around and bumping into each other like Alex and Geddy casually did as they played
It took sixteen musicians to replicate the power and majesty of three , proving that RUSH IS and Was the biggest little orchestra the world has ever known
Funny - I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing... Takes 16 players (and a conductor, let's not forget) to do what three guys from Canada did... :) I wonder if the audience had any clue what it was they were hearing? (Other than great music, I mean)
Oh my God... whew... this is amazing. Someone, somewhere, has got to convince a full orchestra to perform this. It would be completely glorious. Bravo Bravo Bravo!
Eu não sei exatamente o que dizer. Ouço essa música há quase 40 anos, e esse é provavelmente um dos arranjos mais ousados pra qualquer música do Rush. De cara, senti falta de um vocal, mas logo isso mudou. A dramaticidade da música ficou intacta, e sua sensibilidade ficou aflorada, principalmente no trecho que usa a harpa, a flauta, o oboé e o vibrafone. A orquestra fez um trabalho excepcional. E não, não há necessidade de um kit maior de bateria, tudo ficou no lugar exato da proposta do arranjo. MUITO, MUITO OBRIGADO.
I don't know why it took UA-cam 6 years to recommend this video to me, but I'm very glad it did. That was a very special arrangement and fantastic performance.
I have always been extremely impressed with this song; however, hearing it converted into an orchestration ensemble brought out the impressive classical composition within this rock classic.
Nunca pensei que isso fosse possível, mas eu assisti chorando do início ao fim. Uma interpretação inteiramente brasileira, da minha música favorita, dos maiores gênios que eu nunca poderei ver ao vivo. Quem levou Rush para uma orquestra merece duas medalhas. E uma vai só para esse baterista excepcional.
This rendition is really beautiful. It also gives you an appreciation for what the three members of Rush were able to do when you see 14 musicians covering a piece of their music.
The fact that this orchestra was able to separate Neil Peart's part into individual percussion parts and get a violin to attempt to mimic a synthesizer is amazing! Period. Also, Lifeson's guitar work into separate parts and NOT be cumbersome...stunning!!! Yes, it's kind of elevator musicish but that's to be expected. Hats off to you for being this musically risky!
Realmente un regalo al oido, es espectacular escuchar grandes clasicos del rock interpretados por orquestas, se evidencia la genialidad de sus autores. Que viva la música!!! Rush el mejor trio del mundo!!!
Parabéns! Meu coração chorou de alegria por esta execução maravilhosa, PERFEITO! Solistas maravilhosos, toda a orquestra em harmonia total e fazendo nossas mentes desfrutarem da boa escolha de música, de uma Banda Monstro, e trazer os velhos tempos do Rock como um todo. Uma boa viagem no tempo.
A farewell to kings was the first RUSH album I had. Found it in my big brothers collection. Had a really crappy record player. Got a good (kenwood) system for Xmas in 1980. First time I listened to Xanadu, actually looked out my bedroom window to try and find the chirping birds. (edit) Great cover, I really enjoyed this.
Brazuca tocando Rush, orquestra ainda? Já dou like antes de ver, só pela iniciativa. Vejam a força dos Rush-heads mundo afora nos comentários. A gente garimpa a Internet atrás de material deles e ver isso aqui foi muito animador. Long live Rush!
Foi uma emoção gigantesca ouvir a interpretação da música de uma banda que faz parte da minha historia de vida. Obrigado a voces e ao RUSH. Neail peart deve estar feliz ao lado do pai!
To those who say that rock is not "real" music...that classical is the only true musical form...you need to see this. I do think a full orchestra would have been even better, but this arrangement proves that Rush's music translates well into classical. And think what a coloratura soprano could do with Geddy's vocals!
Impressionante.... é de assistir e ouvir com os olhos cheios de lágrimas... Tomara que Geddy, Alex e Neil tenham visto! Parabéns a todos e muito obrigado por esses 13 minutos de fortes emoções.... triste por Neil ter nos deixado.... trágico.... R.I.P. Mestre...
Arrangement and interpretation par excellence, with notably keen use of restrained guitar; but I think extra special kudos are due the drummer who made very effective use of a small kit for Peart's wide palette of sounds.
He basically brought a Ringo kit to a Peart party, and it worked. I was amazed. Great arrangement too, I think the guitar was more effective this way for this group.
My god, what a performance! You guys deserve a huge congratulations for bringing this gem for us here in youtube. I hope this video can reach millions of Rush fans throughout the world. Bravo!!
uma pena o brasileiro ao menos saber quem é rush, umas das maiores bandas trios de todos os tempos,,12 mil aqui é muito pouco, mas ja valeu a homenagem ,,maravilhosa de vcs,,fiquei arrepiado,,,parabens,,demais,,
Interesting for sure. A lot of work went into the orchestration. Some clever ideas here and there and so my hat goes off to these folks. My only wish is for a fuller and more powerful rendition that a full orchestration is capable of. What this does show is potential -- i.e. that Rush's music is complex and rich enough that a powerful symphonic rendition is very much possible.
I count 17 musicians who performed this amazing and, dare I say, spiritual rendition of a song originally created by 3 guys from Canada. That is the magic of Rush. I know it doesn't take 17 musicians to recreate this song, and that it was done this way to pay homage to this song and add anything they could to it. This was an amazing masterpiece of orchestration - simply beautiful.
@@Jonno2summit It wasn’t just 17 musicians, it was 17 different *instruments* (not counting the multiple xylophones) that was required to reproduce the sounds of a 3-piece band. They were just incredible.
@@skepticalfaith5201 Truly said. And never before and never again will there be 3 guys like Geddy, Alex and Neil. A perfect accident that joined by chance and will live forever more and can never be replicated. They just happened somehow, and the world is blessed. This will never happen again and never happened before. It's just Rush.
The piece had me actually sobbing so deeply,I haven't done so like that since my beloved mother passed away on mother's day 2017.It moved me so very deeply being a RUSH fan since April 1et of 1976 .thank you so much for your honor to Xanadu, by RUSH,A Most Brilliant JobWell Done!!!! Bravo!!!
That was amazing!! This takes the Clockwork Angels Tour with the String Ensemble to a whole other level! Just one small, tiny problem... Buddy, you need a bigger drum kit!😁 Love it... Bravo!
Does he? For such a small kit, the drummer performed the song precisely, hands down. Peart certainly had good reasons for using big kits, but the small kit used here had zero issues with that arrangement.
Kind of shows you that Neil Peart was a major no-talent show-off who needed a lot of drums to demonstrate his "skills". 😋 Not really. May the legend Rest In Peace.
Mas o que foi isso??? PARABÉNS!!!! Fiquei arrepiado por aki... e aguardo ansiosamente os próximos clássicos do nosso amado e 'saudoso' Rush... SENSACIONAL!!
Ficou bonito demais, incrível!!! O Rush, com sua história fabulosa, talento e assinatura únicos, merece homenagens como esta e vocês estão de parabéns pela iniciativa e qualidade apresentados!!!
Olá Thai, tudo bem? Obrigado! Inscreva-se no meu canal e já já tem novidades. No momento estou em turnê com o Led Zeppelin in Concert. Já vou colocar alguns videos. :)
Wow - that was absolutely brilliant! Was listening to Rush's performance of Xanadu last night and thinking how it sounded orchestral to me. Did a search on it today and came upon this performance. Kudos to whoever came up with the idea to cover this - and to the arranger! The choice of which instruments to play the various is absolutely perfect. Extremely well orchestrated and well performed. The only thing that still boggles my mind after seeing this played with a small orchestra is: how did Rush manage to play this with just 3 people?!?!?
A wonderful tribute & score to arguably one of the top 3 R&R bands of all time, (my fave) played well by this small but efficient orchestra! Well done! 👍
Conductor: next we'll be playing La Villa Strangiato
Percussionist : oh come on😫
And 400 years from now they'll still be listening to Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and of course, Rush.
Love that comment. I put rush over all of them!!
@@johnhancock9249 All classical was once "pop" music. It's only the passage of time that gives it the illusion of superiority.

Biltor, sen misin?!
In 400 years some archeologist will be excavating a late 20th century home and will come across circular disc of vinyl and they’ll be like, WTF?
This show you how much respect Rush has in the music world. This is absolutely fantastic. Well done.
This is a testament to what great composers Geddy, Neil and Alex were.
FANFUCKINTASTIC!!!!!! You GUYS ROCKED THE SHIT OUTTA XANADU!!!! Thanks!!!! Rush would be proud of Guys!!!
Rush always said they were the world’s smallest orchestra,this proves it. Well done 👍

Best orchestration project ever! I have dined on honeydew!
I've never seen Rush arranged for orchestra until today and my life is better for it.
What a wonderful version of a great song! Always thought Xanadu was a classical rock song and the arrangement by the orchestra was superb!👍
You know that you have achieved composer immortality when an orchestra performs your work.
Omg, this brings tears to my eyes
It was a gutsy move to include an electric guitar in this arrangement, and to play Alex Lifeson's solo note for note.
Wasn’t note for note nice try though
Very Well Done!!! The intro moved me to tears, because this is not only a rock song, but a piece of music that can be orchestrated, and sound GREAT.

I found it on Facebook - June 5-2024. UA-cam didn't recommend it to me yet, even though I watch tons of Rush videos on it. Ha!
9 HERE!
I have always been extremely impressed with this song; however, hearing it converted into an orchestration ensemble brought out the impressive classical composition within this rock classic.
I have always wanted to hear an orchestra play Rush let alone one of my all time favourite songs Xanadu. Made my night-year!

Shivers. This is brilliant an amazing arrangement. I have a tear.
Just one? Bull! 😂
Que bom que não sou o único fã incondicional do RUSH no RJ. Viva a maior banda de todos os tempos. Parabéns pela escolha, orquestra!!!
Wow, that was brilliant. Loved Rush for 40 years, and really enjoyed this amazing version.
Thank you

Great tribute of a great song from a great band! Bravo!
Wonderfully done by a very talented ensemble. A classical tribute to one of Rush's greatest compositions, I loved it !
First thought at 0:41 - "He's going to need a bigger drum kit". But, hey, these guys and gals did a good job with what they had. Total thumbs up.
Foi uma emoção gigantesca ouvir a interpretação da música de uma banda que faz parte da minha historia de vida.
Obrigado a voces e ao RUSH.
Neail peart deve estar feliz ao lado do pai!
Alimento pra alma. Que orgulho ver e ouvir a orquestra de solistas da minha cidade tocando um dos maiores clássicos da inigualável obra do Rush!
O coração do véio não aguenta! Uma carreta de likes e de inscrições! Muito f$&*@!
This is AWESOME!!! I love it! Such an amazing job by the orchestra.
A Brilliant RUSH classic which will remain a gem forever.

13 minutos de choro aqui!
Just amazing how many symphonic orchestra's are playing rock music. This is another excellent example.
Obrigado Brazilian brothers... RUSH ON!!!
BRAVO!!
I really do hope Geddy and Alex have heard this..
And Neil! It’s six years old.
thanks for that. I never noticed.
Agreed, Geoffrey !!
Impressionante.... é de assistir e ouvir com os olhos cheios de lágrimas... Tomara que Geddy, Alex e Neil tenham visto! Parabéns a todos e muito obrigado por esses 13 minutos de fortes emoções.... triste por Neil ter nos deixado.... trágico.... R.I.P. Mestre...
Baterista explendido!!!!!...Neil Peart se orgulharia....
Stunning. Tears in my eyes. It brings in to clarity the genius of Rush.
When the harp started playing, that's when I fell in love with this rendition!!!
Reunindo todos os comentários em uma incomensurável e eterna gratidão a arte desses 3 gênios da música.

Magnífico!
Orgulho de ser Brasileiro e ouvir isso!
Viva o RUSH! Esse power trio sempre soou como uma orquestra aos meus ouvidos. Isso é uma obra prima! Parabéns! 👍👏👏👏

angelo Lucas concordo 100%!
Eu também concordo 100%
Mas o show do Rush no Rio deu orgulho do Brasil, melhor público que o Rush já teve
Um dos rocks mais melodiosos que existe, tinha que ser executado por uma orquestra. Adorei!
É por isso que eu amo o Rush . Precisou de 17 pessoas pra fazer o mesmo som!!!!
Perhaps one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed, put together, created, wrote, by any musician of any genre, EVER.
Tears. Of joy and sadness. R.I.P. Neil Period.
Respect!
RUSH forever!
