Those crazy Russian composers. Where would we be without them. Thank you Sergey.
without them, we would have required more centuries to develop the indicental music (instead of just a "score"), which roots in the Russian composers.

Hachiumi oh mkay
This is perhaps one of the best performances I have ever heard playing Prokofiev
I think you can thank Herbert von Karajan for developing the recording techniques to fully capture an orchestral piece.
I love that the introduction was included instead of skipped over.
@@judycook4314Yes! It makes it so much more powerful.
I saw Matthew Bourne's Romeo and Juliet at the weekend and it started with the end of the story, briefly, and they included the intro, and then seamlessly cleared the scene and went into the full piece and the first Act. Early by tradition but it worked so well.
Unless that is how it is supposed to go? It was my first ballet and it was bloody amazing.
Totally agree with you!!❤
this is what we should show people when they say they don’t like classical music.
better show them a middle finger
But there hasnt been any new composer understenable for ordinary people for seventy years. Classical music is a living fossil.
@@chatnickcz Arvo Pärt (after 1980)? Schnittke (those music for movies)? Nevertheless also Piazzolla anyway is classic music...
@@chatnickcz, Check my website, then! It’s under my full name. Listen to some of my compositions. You might change your mind about living composers. Although I agree with you that most contemporary composers no longer write what I would consider music.
@@antorossetti6353 and there's Hans Zimmer too he writes really good music for movies
The 'Heavy Metal' of classical music! This fuckin' jams!
lol :)
It really works very well in Metal. Just listen to Necrophagist's Only Ash Remains :D
it really does! I also can recommend "Hollenthon - Lords of Bedlam" ua-cam.com/video/DymceY5CowE/v-deo.html
Hahaha Right , Ooh Thats why I like It 😂👍😎
You meant *Heavy Wood* ??
Prokofiev a masterpiece. What a genius.
Prokofiev deserves way more credit for his musical genius than he is getting. Trully one of the greats. This way beautifully played and conducted
У нас, в России, он получает достаточно внимания среди других наших композиторов
The Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet and this perfofmance are two great differences.
@@Ponyaha-К счастью, да!
100%
It feels like this section was written specifically for the tuba. Its deep, solemn tone goes straight to the heart and brings up the goose bumps. Outstanding music, Sergei.
I love it for the same reason with the double basses as well alongside the tuba, that deep pulse alongside the intense violin melody is so amazing.
That's "Mr. Prokofiev" to you...
@@chriskershaw7968 Sergey Sergeevich would be most appropriate
@@KirConst lol okay but "that's Mr. XYZ to you" is a set joke and that's why I used it ^^
Serioja. Серёжа.
Videos like this remind me why I'm in band. It's because of what happens when everybody plays their part and plays it beautifully. The end result is something that takes you to another world. A world without problems. A world that has people who are working with you to achieve something great instead of against you. A world full of color and emotion, a world that is so amazing you never want to leave it. But you always have to because things dont last forever.
You just chasing poon.
Le Dud love this💕 thank you
very true
Aye, perfection is transient. But, we wouldn't value it so highly if it were not.

He's not very original. The ending theme song JW did for "Lost in Space" was pretty neat though.
@@leithamcminn4748Yeah you just summarized a lifetime of a masterful composer and musician within a few negative words. I don’t particularly approve this kind of thinking, regardless of the fact i really enjoy John Williams work.
Dropping the bass at 1:33.5 old style. But in all seriousness, this song has great dynamics. Wonderfully balanced frequencies.
+Kazu Haski It's epic though
+Kazu Haski I liked the first beat which was extra hard...
Actually the guy that pulls that bass looks like your worst enemy in the battle of the knights.
it starts more in like 1:34
I was very young the first time I heard this piece in a borrowed cassette (yes, THAT young I was). Didn't know it belonged to the ballet so I just created my own images listening it.
And for me it was giants walking through the Earth, mighties as demigods, terribles as the darkest night. I really saw a entire movie in my head while listening.
Well close, knights in armor are ponderous.

No adequate words to describe this. Pure Genius.
Getting goosebumps just listening to the intro, knowing what's coming.
I remember the first time I brought this suite home from the library when I was like 12 and I was blown away.
Prokofiev Genius!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
I love the conductor. So emotive. What a great experience to be in front of these talented musicians and in the audience.
Prokofiev was an absolute genius
ETALLONIC performance. Absolutely Great.
Serge Prokofiev is a REAL MASTER OF ORCHESTRATION.
Wow. that is the most transparent and profound rendition ever. I never knew there was so much more to this dance. Keeping the intimate julia- flute part in the exact same tempo as the bombastic crowd scene-part gives it such depth, brilliant
absolutely magnificent. One of the most powerful pieces ever written.
1:33 - When you're done being the Good Guy.
3:19 - When you're reluctant to become evil.
4:15 - When you are tempted by Evil's wealth and power.
4:38 - When you realize there's no going back.
love your interpretation

Великая музыка, шикарное исполнение. До слез
Произведение конечно великое ,но и оркестр реально сделал классно и мастерски.
this is the fourth version of this piece I've watched today. It's way the best. A very long way. Sorry you others, you lose. The conductor clearly loves what he's doing, and that has been transmitted throughout . great stuff
Absolutely. Passionate.
You're right!

I agree; this version kicks so much ass, and the soundscape is just fantastic.
No one who plays music can never loose.
They absolutely nailed the depth in that slower cadence that I feel like so many other versions skim over. Love this performance.
Thank you to all of you. There are no words to describe the brilliance of this performance.
Great recording. Every instrument comes through.

@@PumilateVFX , тубы здесь, действительно в тему.
This is the only recording I've heard in which you can clearly hear every instrumental part. The sound engineers, who aren't credited, deserve nearly as much praise as the musicians.
Stupenda. Potente, struggente, nevrotica, appassionata, delicata. Un turbinio di emozioni e sensazioni, dall'inferno con Lucifero al paradiso con San Michele arcangelo. Un capolavoro.❤

Montagues and Capulets, also known as Dance of the Knights, is a work of classical music written by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. The piece is the first movement of the Suite No. 2 from Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64ter, which consists of two excerpts from his 1935 ballet Romeo and Juliet. He wrote versions for both orchestra and piano.
Based on a synopsis created by Adrian Piotrovsky (who first suggested the subject to Prokofiev) and Sergey Radlov, the ballet was composed by Prokofiev in September 1935 to their scenario which followed the precepts of "drambalet" (dramatised ballet, officially promoted at the Kirov Ballet to replace works based primarily on choreographic display and innovation). Following Radlov's acrimonious resignation from the Kirov in June 1934, a new agreement was signed with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow on the understanding that Piotrovsky would remain involved.
However, the ballet's original happy ending (contrary to Shakespeare) provoked controversy among Soviet cultural officials. The ballet's production was then postponed indefinitely when the staff of the Bolshoi was overhauled at the behest of the chairman of the Committee on Arts Affairs, Platon Kerzhentsev. The ballet's failure to be produced within Soviet Russia until 1940 may also have been due to the increased fear and caution in the musical and theatrical community in the aftermath of the two notorious Pravda editorials criticising Shostakovich and other "degenerate modernists" including Piotrovsky. The conductor Yuri Fayer met with Prokofiev frequently during the writing of the music, and he strongly urged the composer to revert to the traditional ending. Fayer went on to conduct the first performance of the ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre.
Suites of the ballet music were heard in Moscow and the United States, but the full ballet premiered in the Mahen Theatre, Brno (then in Czechoslovakia, now in the Czech Republic), on 30 December 1938. This version was a single-act production with music mainly from the first two suites. Prokofiev was not able to attend the premiere due to his status of outbound restriction.
The history of the creation of the ballet was recited by the composer Sergei Prokofiev himself.
This sounds 10 times better than any other version I've heard so far
Wait, U telling me NO ONE CLAPPED AFTER THIS INSANE PERFORMANCE??!?!
I love the slightly slower pace of this version. If this does not bring tears to your eyes, you are probably not human.
I'm 61 now and as a young child I'd go to the Galaxy cinema in my hometown and in the cartoons before the main movie this music would play while the big bad wolf is stalking Peter through the forest.... to this day, 50 years later, it still conjures up thoughts of dark danger, impending doom and threat- I love it, one of my favourites.
This 'fast' Version is the best. Brilliant!
Какая сила в этой музыке!!!!
anything can be done with this piece of music! I could do sit-ups, knit a sweater, dig a trench, knock down a tree... I don't understand how someone can be bored by classical music!? ❤
It's so nice to have the first part of this wonderful part... great for tubas, deep and menacing. Pure genius.
Who can extract a work of this size from the inside of his brain, is not human, is a being beyond his time ...
This the best version in my opinion
this is an epic performance! Tugan Sokhiev delivers his russian voice and heart in the music of a great russian composer... hard to beat!
Sophia Lotsari Totally agree Sophia, just close your eye's and slip into a dreamworld. EPIC

@@user-jy5is2eb3m he was born in Ekaterinenskaya Gubernia RUSSIAN imperia! His best compositions were written in Saint Petersburg so he had never been connected with Ukraine!!! It's bullshit
@@user-jy5is2eb3m He lived in the Russian Empire, but not like Ukraine, because it didn't even exist then. And the Russian Empire is Russia. Even here you insert Ukraine, where it doesn't even have any relation.
"The air of a foreign land does not excite inspiration in me, because I am Russian, and there is nothing more injurious to a man than to live in exile, to be in a spiritual climate not suited to his race." - quote from Prokofiev.@@user-jy5is2eb3m
I like this post of the dance of the knights. It includes the eerie introduction before you are startled by the frightening power of the dance, a monstrously obdurate folk dance (i.e., a march) that suggests the ancient conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets. Very well-edited video, except for a couple of odd inserts here and there. I love the shot at 1:39 of that extremely focused young lady violinist: she matches the passion of the music.
I appreciate the flautist that soothes the savage beast, at least for a moment.
I fell in love with the tuba guy - he's a no kidding MAN here :)
A rough, wonderful version. Hell, even the musicians look angry!
the shot on the tuba guy resembles gimli blowing the horn of helm hammerhand
The lafy violinist is VERY pretty too....
Это что нужно сделать в своей голове, чтобы ТАК объединить ТАКОЕ количество музыкальных инструментов!
How often do we get to hear such a great cacophony!! I love it, especially as an introduction!
He is a master at what he does great eye contact. And works very well with his orchestra. God has truly blessed the Russian musicians conductors. To God be the glory. Amen
Это самая ошеломительная музыкальная тема, которую я когда либо слышал за свои 40 с гаком лет. С тех пор, как помню себя, я помню и эту музыку. И каждый раз мое сердце взрывается, а потом заново вырастает. Самая тяжёлая современная музыка - просто колыбельная для новорожденного, по сравнению с ЭТИМ! Полноценно описать всю гамму чувств при прослушивании этого шедевра можно только истинно русским языком (ну вы понимаете...)!
Shayba🩸🏒
I totally agree! This is just an amazing composition by one of Russia's greats.
С самой ошеломительной поспорю, но гамма тут великолепная и выдержанная, соглашусь. Прокофьев - великий мастер. Очень сильная атмосфера и такие же чувства. В частности, наверное самая выразительная по области эмоций.
Anyone remember the Lexus auto commercials (USA) that used this music?
У меня такое было как "В пещере горного короля" на уроке музыки услышала.
Good LORD that introduction sets the tone for the whole piece. Coming to this post Apprentice exposure is a true joy. Suddenly I'm at once truly terrified and utterly consumed by this grotesque melody.
Brilliant Prokofiev, great musicians, a very cool conductor!

Я думала, что одна такая, кто сейчас слушает классику
people: you can't record music for 21st century villains now.

El uso de las percusiones, su rítmica no es estática, destaca tiempos que no son 1 3,etc no hace uso de ella tradicional, y ocupa los instrumentos con alevosía
