"The Good The Bad and The Ugly", one of the greatest westerns ever made with one of the greatest soundtracks ever recorded. An absolute masterpiece. Iconic. Goose bumpy music throughout. See the film when you get the chance!!! Clint f...ing Eastwood in his prime.
The first instrument you asked about ..may be some kind of ocarina, I may be mistaken but it sounds like one. The second instrument uou asked about, I believe it is an oboe
Yes and no. It's genius born of basically being too cash strapped to use a full orchestra, so he composed with the instrument players he could afford to use. It's distinctive because he was forced to use unusual instruments. That being said he's still an incredible compose with a full orchestra to play with.
@@TahoeNevada The three together are sometimes referred to as the "dollar trilogy". All star a young Clint Eastwood. He began filming _A Fistful of Dollars_ while still starring in the popular TV western, _Rawhide._ The movies were called "spaghetti westerns" because they were filmed in Italy with an Italian director (Sergio Leone) and many other Italians involved. If you ever want to do a reaction to a one-minute TV theme, here is the excellent and fun one from _Rawhide:_ ua-cam.com/video/AKC8pSFg1Vw/v-deo.html . There are higher quality ones on UA-cam, even by the original artist, Frankie Laine. But as someone who watched the original TV show, they're "too good." Maybe react to both, since its so short.
I have watched this video around a dozen times, and I still get chills every time I hear it. I absolutely love this piece. I'm a metal head myself, but I think the orchestra has to be the peak of humanities musical talents. Do get all those people to sync up, to know what sound goes together and when. The amount of talent and musical intelligence it must take to put together a complex piece like that is impressive.
And you damn well have every right to be! I thoroughly enjoyed this along with the video of Procol Harum with the Denmark Orchestra. Also, who doesn't love the talent and wit of the late great Victor Borge.
"you see, there are 2 kinds of people on this world my friend. Those with loaded gun and those who dig. You dig" Clint is immortal badass in this movie
The flute like instrument is an ocarina, the metal poles are called tubular bells and the hanging man is a link to the film "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" staring Clint Eastwood. The music was composed by the genius that was Ennio Morricone whose music you will have heard in many films. He sadly died last June.
The concert was a tribute to Clint Eastwood, the first half of the music is the theme from The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The second half of the music is the theme from Hang 'Em High. The Hanging Man is not a link to The Good The Bad and The Ugly but is part of Hang 'Em High when Clint Eastwood was hung for a crime he didn't commit.
@@keithmoore7988 you are wrong my friend, the second half is also from the movie the good, the bad and the ugly. The hanging man symbolizes Tuco (The Ugly) who was about to be hanged several times in the movie.
We all have probably made fun of Opera at one time or another yet a really good Opera with a live orchestra will send chills up your spine and stir your soul.
“Holy crap!” That was my exact reaction too. This is the music score to one of my favorite western movies, but I’ve never seen or heard a live performance of it. I knew there was vocals, but had no idea the sheer numbers of vocal performers using “voice as instruments,” with no actual words. I loved watching the spellbound look on your face throughout the performance (which probably mirrored my own look.) Thank you, thank you for posting this.
You have forgotten- the voice is the very first instrument that humans employed, and will always be an integral part of what is considered "instrumental" music. The piece doesn't require that many, but when you have a full choir at your disposal, you use them.
To this day, "The Ecstasy Of Gold" scene is almost unparalleled in being the perfect unison of sight, sound and story in a film - it all comes together to create one of the most electric scenes in cinema history.
Watching your jaw hit the ground over a song from the 1960’s was worth it!!! An orchestra can do things no other musical group can do! The precision is incredible!
Italian movie, filmed in Spain with USA actor, that all became an unexpected legend. By the way, the rounded instrument is The Ocarina, an ancient wind musical instrument-a type of vessel flute.
It was filmed primarily in Italy, but many scenes such as the cemetery scene took place in Spain. Hard to believe this movie is over 50 years old. Clint, Lee and Eli were the best!!
@@richardsmith5477 nope, the movie was primarily filmed in Spain (for a simple reason, it cost less, the same reason why a lot of American movie are nowadays filmed in Czech Republic or in Hungary). Only few scenes was filmed in the Elios Film studios in Rome. Fun fact: in the movie Tuco found a skeleton. That is the real skeleton of a Spanish actress who wanted to continue to act even after death. Anyway, this version sucks, listen to a version directed by Morricone himself, a lot more powerful than this.
Everybody knows and loves the theme to "The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly". But most don't realize the amount of talented people and their instruments to perform such a masterpiece.
The look on his face showing how much the new emotions within him reacting to this music that shakes your core and love for westerns?? Yeah, i saw it too, and it was genuine wonder in those eyes
There's a reason Metallica uses this piece as their intro to every concert they do. It's perfection and performed by one of the best Orchestras in the World.
MAGNIFICENT! The skill of these professionals is astounding. Many blessings to them for giving us their gift of music to the world. God bless you all, good people.

@@Garryck-1 They are one in the same born of the same primeval source of power. Called the one power. They are like matter and antimatter in that you do not want them to come in contact.
Kudos to The Danish National Symphony Orchestra for such a wondrous performance! Do not allow yourself to miss "Gabriel's Oboe" or the music from Cinema Paradiso...or the film for that matter. All top shelf treasures.
@@nicoladc89 That would be heaven. I think I did hear one on UA-cam with Morricone conducting, which was exquisite. "Gabriel's Oboe". The song that played at father's funeral.
I am Polish. But my favorite is the Danish National Symphoy Orchestra. The best in the world. It fills my heart with joy knowing others are enjoying them as well. Thank you for your reaction, sir.
Your animated amazement brought me to remember my very same reaction when I first experienced a symphonic orchestra in a dedicated music hall where every musical instrument can be heard distictly and in perfect harmony with each other and what is being orchestrated. Remember that this is a recording of a live conert. You must personally attend one in a dedicated musical venue to really appreciate this genre. Thanks for the review.
Oh and that instrument that sounds like an owl softly hooting is an Acarina, like the one in Zelda, pc game. And the hung Man is a prop from the movie. And an improvised clapper, just to prove anything can be used for music
Welcome to the genius of Ennio Morricone. This movie soundtrack to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is considered a classic. Now, go watch the movie...it stars Clint Eastwood, and is considered one of the classics of Sergio Leone's "Spaghetti Westerns"! ;-)
The Danish National Symphony Orhestra is absolutely amazing. Watch some of their other videos - Interstellar suite, Star Wars etc. The audio and video production quality is absolutely incredible. Seeing a full blown orchestra and singers like this live - so many people working together in unison to make music is transcendental. Do not let your life pass without experiencing something like this live and in person.
The ecstasy when that obo kicks in, I remember the 5 year old me skipping church with my dad watch Blonde, Tuko and Angel Eyes staring each other down.
I am not positive, but I think the instrument you're talking about is an English horn. It has a curve to the Bocas, the part that connects the instrument to the reed to the mouth of the player. It's the big brother to the oboe.
The Oboe and the English horn are both woodwins and sound similar ..The Oboe has a much higher tone and register ....this guy is playing a haunting English horn and he is a master ...stupid incredible , breath control.. The piano and his English horn solo start the song "Ecstasy of the gold". It begins right after Eastwood blows "Tuco" off his horse with a cannon and Tuco rolls up against a headstone ... the rest of the song is tuco running from grave to grave looking for the buried gold. The best western matched by the best movie score , matched up with the best symphony orchestra to play the piece . LOVE , LOVE IT ....And I'm a die hard 70s rock n roller.
Yes this piece by Ennio Morricone is absolutely brilliant. Stunning in capturing images of elegance,, lonlines, drama, triumph and treachery, Western images of Flora & fauna too. Ennio was a master. And this Danish orchestra made an outstanding performance.
Your open mouthed appreciation and awe of this soundtrack preformed live is what makes me happy that people can be awed by something they've just discovered
The 1st instrument is known as an Ocarina it is a woodwind flute,the is mainly used in orchestras,the other instrument is known as chimes another instrument used in orchestras, same lady, the 1st woman was using her voice to sound like this string instrument that goes sideways into the mouth and is and the cords are picked, and it really hurts your mouth, that woman was perfect.
The Ecstasy of Gold always gives me chills/goosebumps every time I hear it. The first instrument you asked about is an Ocarina, the second one is a symphonic chime, the silhouette is from the movie.
Thank you for your beautiful reaction, James!!!! Every soundtrack from Morricone is a great emotion. And it's wonderful to hear them in theater, performed by a great Orchestra....
Dane here. A couple yrs ago The danish symphony orchestra played a concert at a big music festival called Roskilde Festival. The entire set was music from scifimovies and big classical hits like this one! The crowd went nuts after the first number and you could just see the musicians faces glowing with surprise! -Clearly they weren't used to that kind of reaction in concert halls! lol The whole show was so cool. they had divided the different sections out onto small platforms only a foot tall so the crowd could go in between and around all the musicians watching them super close. It was like standing together with them! When they played the Star wars Empire tune the crowd would roar alonng with them! The last track the played was the Champagne Gallop and the conductor took a pole with an inflatable alien fucking a cow from one in the crowd and used it to direct the whole number! Simply epic!! Heres a bit of footage from the crowd! ua-cam.com/video/cZP1j0KTpOM/v-deo.html
It is really cool to see a symphony or an opera. You can sometimes feel the music, the drums, the vocals. Watching them, they make it seem so effortless. Years of practice. Really cool, I hadn't seen this before.
Ennio Morricone was never afraid to add instruments not normally found in an traditional orchestra. He was a master of composition, and a true great and I don’t think anyone will ever match his ability and talent.
The most amazing thing is, at some parts the symphony just flows together so well, you can't tell where one instrument starts and another begins...same with singing.
Making a sound with your mouth? What, singing? LOL. It was a real joy to see you discover the power of real, live music. Go see an Orchestra, you will not regret it.
Derek, my understanding is that originally they were made from hollowed out gourds. It is sometimes called "The sweet potatoe". A VERY old instrument, and not part of the normal ("classical") orchestra. But Marricone never let little things like that stop him.
The movie was released in 1966 and starred Clint Eastwood,Eli Willock and Lee Van kleef. The concert was a western theme and featured many more Western Movie themes. Lur-love it.
It's embarrassing just how many times I've listened to this Orchestra piece. This one of the best if not the best Reaction Videos I've heard/seen. You didn't talk all the way through it like some. Great Video Reaction. 👍
The egg shaped instrument is an ocarina, the tall multi pipe is a chime set, and the other was an oboe. The hanging man is from another spaghetti Western Hang em High.
Scores add SO MUCH to the film experience. The emotional reaction is driven in large part by the music. If you haven't done so already, I always suggest John Williams & Boston Pops.
You cannot beat an amazing Orchestra for a live performance. Especially when they play an iconic theme like this. I played a Double Bass for a school orchestra. The instrument was taller than I was at the time lol
Wrong piece - that's "Il Triello/The Trio". The two pieces here are the main theme and Ecstasy of Gold, the latter coming right before Il Triello in the film. The suspense in Il Triello is insane though - it's like Ravel's Bolero but for battle.
There is a reason why Metallica have opened every single show they've played since 1983 with this theme.. Morricone=one of the greatest composers of our time🤟
music from the great movie 😎👍 Music by the great composer Ennio Morricone . he died to 2020 i think .. When you can , react to this good other music from Ennio Morricone --> music for the very good movie Orca 1977 .. Orca .. have 2 version on UA-cam .. 12 min version and 6 min version .. both are good ..
One of the best Westerns ever made and it wasnt even filmed in the US. It was directed by legendary italian director Sergio Leone, in Italy. OST is by Ennio Morricone, the same composer of The Godfather soundtrack, and ohe of the greatest composers of the XX century. Epic.
If you have not seen these 3 movies, you must see them. The stories are slowly, yet almost romantically shown in a unique style that builds to epic climaxes. The music moves you along with the great acting, direction and cinematography with such a amazing style.
I agree. I'm 69 years old and I have a selection (around 400) of movies on DVD and BluRay and a vinyl album collection (over 600) that range from the late 40's to present day. I know that when I die, none of my family will want to keep them, and they will either be sold off for a dollar or two each or stuck in a corner somewhere. If I knew somewhere to donate them where they would be appreciated for what they are, I would have that done.
Your look is priceless, what a truly masterpiece of a soundtrack, the late Ennio Morricone really was a genius in many ways. Now Clint Eastwood is in my book arguably the best actor of all time, he has been doing it for decades, now also directing awesome movies. Amazing actor, a treasure for sure.
Btw that Tuva's look at 6:37 (probably back to Christine awaiting her part again) is so.....so lovely if I may say. She is a very nice looking woman with eyes "that talk".
If you ever live on the plains of the west for any time you would hear the coyotes cry at night ( the women choir ) and clap of thunder and whip snapping (slapping sticks), the blond woman singer is the prairie wind , canyon echoes (male choir) all classic western movie sounds.
Most people don't realize what they have just seen. A Japanese conductor leading the Danish National Symphony italian (roman) composer: Ennio Morricone R.I.P. in playing music from an Italian movie filmed in Spain financed by Germans and starring three Americans. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Italian: Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, literally "The good, the ugly, the bad") is a 1966 Italian epic spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood as "the Good", Lee Van Cleef as "the Bad", and Eli Wallach as "the Ugly"
The hanging guy is from his movie ‘Hang ‘‘em High’, which came out in the latter ‘60s about four or so years after ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ which was early ‘60s… They were probably playing themes from all his westerns during that concert. (I’d like to watch the whole thing sometime.) The handheld instrument he was blowing into was originally a South American aboriginal instrument that sounds kinda like a flute. The upright silver tubes are Chimes if I’m not mistaken. Really pricey ones… IMHO . . .
The late Ennio Morricone was one of the greatest composers of film scores. He composed more than 400 scores for film and television. His score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential soundtracks in history. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennio_Morricone
Thanks for that information. I had no idea of who the composer was, or that he was so prolific. Clearly, it is easy for those of us watching the movies, to overlook those that compose the music for them. Their music enhances the movies in so many ways. Thanks again.
Another sound track he should listen to is Danish National Symphony doing Once Upon A Time In The West-- Christine Hanbro does a solo that'll knock your socks off. To hear an Angel sing from heaven, listen to Patricia Janeckova sing Once Upon A Time in The West...
@bob smith - it is. There is usually just slightly over 100 of them. But yeah, they are the best, performing music from movies too. And I'm sure that almost everybody loves Tuva :) Just a note: A lot of orchestras go for a slightly different kind of approach to music now. Not just a classical ones, but also playing composition/scores from movies (and some of them have been written by masters too, such Hans Zimmer, John Williams, James Horner for example). Then you may have a combination of a classical approach, and modern music - such as "Accept - Symphony No.40", done together with Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and Ava-Rebekah Rahman (world renowed solo violinist). And the score was written by Wolf Hoffmann, based on the classical music (in this particular case, Mozart). All in all, an insteresting time to listen to "this kind of music".

I’m 72 and when I see younger people who’ve been raised on rock and roll, hear different kinds of music and they appreciate it as much as you obviously do, it makes me emotional. I watched your reactions to Beethoven and Mozart too and it just does my heart good 💕

I am 70. Rock & roll was 50’s and early 60’s. Mostly in the 50’s is when rock & roll records were being piled up by the religious and destroyed. It was the “Devil’s music” and was destroying America! Things started to change because of surfer music, the British Invasion, Motown, Folk music, R&B, etc.. Rock became totally different.
I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but if you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favor and watch it immediately!! And I've never met one person on Earth who doesn't like this theme!!
I'd say it was the best undisturbed 4 hours I ever watched in any film. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes for a scene to unfold, such was the slow pace of the film, but it held you all that time as you didn't want to miss a single scene of the story that was being told. Fantastic performances, especially from the lead actors.
@@whazzuphere Some scenes from the director's cut had been damaged or had incomplete audio, so they had to get an older Eli Wallach and Clint Eastwood back in to re-voice the scenes... you can hear the difference of 30 years or so in the voices of the old and new parts. Sadly, Lee Van Cleef had passed away by then, but they managed to use a voice actor to impersonate him on his scenes with some success.
@@bobinscotland I'm glad you got to see the film in its entirety. I have seen televised versions, cut due to time constraints, which deleted key scenes, such as the scene with Lee Van Cleef at the hospital and Tuco's epic running through the cemetery. Not one scene should be cut from this masterpiece!
@@whazzuphere I bought the director's cut on DVD to see the whole picture... love that uncut version, but I understand the problems that a 4 hour film creates for TV.

@@kevinmcfarlane2752 that is a 100% justified position to have, no doubt.

Ennio Morricone was a genius, light years ahead of everyone, and brilliant in understanding emotional ventures. 👏
Totally agree 👍
He is one of the all time greats. Really worth a deep dive.
Morricone and Williams are, imo, up there with Mozart, Bach, Beefoven, etc...

The ecstasy when that obo kicks in, I remember the 5 year old me skipping church with my dad watch Blonde, Tuko and Angel Eyes staring each other down.
What a wonderful family that must be
My favourite scene in the whole film, the thee of them in the civilwar cemetery in thee Mexican standoff
I am not positive, but I think the instrument you're talking about is an English horn. It has a curve to the Bocas, the part that connects the instrument to the reed to the mouth of the player. It's the big brother to the oboe.
The Oboe and the English horn are both woodwins and sound similar ..The Oboe has a much higher tone and register ....this guy is playing a haunting English horn and he is a master ...stupid incredible , breath control.. The piano and his English horn solo start the song "Ecstasy of the gold". It begins right after Eastwood blows "Tuco" off his horse with a cannon and Tuco rolls up against a headstone ... the rest of the song is tuco running from grave to grave looking for the buried gold. The best western matched by the best movie score , matched up with the best symphony orchestra to play the piece . LOVE , LOVE IT ....And I'm a die hard 70s rock n roller.
That instrument is a Cor Anglais, more commonly called an English Horn. It’s very similar to an Oboe, but is larger, lower, and a bit more resonant.
Yes this piece by Ennio Morricone is absolutely brilliant.
Stunning in capturing images of elegance,, lonlines, drama, triumph and treachery, Western images of Flora & fauna too.
Ennio was a master. And this Danish orchestra made an outstanding performance.
Your open mouthed appreciation and awe of this soundtrack preformed live is what makes me happy that people can be awed by something they've just discovered
The 1st instrument is known as an Ocarina it is a woodwind flute,the is mainly used in orchestras,the other instrument is known as chimes another instrument used in orchestras, same lady, the 1st woman was using her voice to sound like this string instrument that goes sideways into the mouth and is and the cords are picked, and it really hurts your mouth, that woman was perfect.
I live a stones throw from where this was shot and I can tell you the acoustics in that room are amazing
This movie was filmed in Spain
@@debrawilliams7983 the concert, obviously.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koncerthuset
I vas actually at the concert, the sound in the video does not make that room and the orchestra justice. Still remember the feeling
6:49 thanks for not stopping and just being amazed.
I adore your reaction! The amazement you’re experiencing when exposed to something so beautiful yet out of your sphere of reference. Wonderful
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly is one of the great Western films. Classic!
Priceless is all I can say. Human imagination at its best and watching you enjoy it brings joy
Morricone was another genius. The movie was amazing and Clint Eastwood never looked better. A real man!
Clint Eastwood - because god wanted Chuck Norris to have nightmares.
The mystery instruments are ocarina, tubular chimes, and English horn.
The Ecstasy of Gold always gives me chills/goosebumps every time I hear it. The first instrument you asked about is an Ocarina, the second one is a symphonic chime, the silhouette is from the movie.
Me too! Look for Hauser, a spectacular cellist who has entire album of Enrico’s music.
"Symphonic chime" is probably technically correct, but also known as "tubular bells"
Thank you for your beautiful reaction, James!!!! Every soundtrack from Morricone is a great emotion. And it's wonderful to hear them in theater, performed by a great Orchestra....
Really enjoyed your reaction. The hanging man is a nod to a theme in the movie. Now, download the movie , grab some popcorn and enjoy. :)
Dane here.
A couple yrs ago The danish symphony orchestra played a concert at a big music festival called Roskilde Festival. The entire set was music from scifimovies and big classical hits like this one!
The crowd went nuts after the first number and you could just see the musicians faces glowing with surprise! -Clearly they weren't used to that kind of reaction in concert halls! lol
The whole show was so cool. they had divided the different sections out onto small platforms only a foot tall so the crowd could go in between and around all the musicians watching them super close. It was like standing together with them!
When they played the Star wars Empire tune the crowd would roar alonng with them!
The last track the played was the Champagne Gallop and the conductor took a pole with an inflatable alien fucking a cow from one in the crowd and used it to direct the whole number!
Simply epic!!
Heres a bit of footage from the crowd!

It is really cool to see a symphony or an opera. You can sometimes feel the music, the drums, the vocals. Watching them, they make it seem so effortless. Years of practice. Really cool, I hadn't seen this before.
A great example of emergence, how complexity arises out of a network combination of simplicity
Always like how in the movie when the main theme ends you hear a coyote howl exactly like the opening ahahhhahayah
Ennio Morricone was never afraid to add instruments not normally found in an traditional orchestra. He was a master of composition, and a true great and I don’t think anyone will ever match his ability and talent.
I'm pretty good
Wish he'd used ukeleles: ua-cam.com/video/pLgJ7pk0X-s/v-deo.html
The only reactor who had his mouth opened the entire music video🤭😂👏👏👏
The most amazing thing is, at some parts the symphony just flows together so well, you can't tell where one instrument starts and another begins...same with singing.
Making a sound with your mouth? What, singing? LOL. It was a real joy to see you discover the power of real, live music. Go see an Orchestra, you will not regret it.
Man you just graduated music class , isn't music a wonderful word , but please don't stop here, you know the best is best to come , enjoy your journey
This is from the best western movie of all time in my mind.this music is truly a treasure
The first instrument is called an “Ocarina” a round wooden instrument with holes.
Not a wooden, mostly made of ceramic, bcause of the shape, but also made of bone
every Zelda-player knows :D
And it is no coincidence that it resembles a gourd.
@@servantofmelian9966 but the gourd, works by blowing?
Derek, my understanding is that originally they were made from hollowed out gourds. It is sometimes called "The sweet potatoe". A VERY old instrument, and not part of the normal ("classical") orchestra. But Marricone never let little things like that stop him.
The movie was released in 1966 and starred Clint Eastwood,Eli Willock and Lee Van kleef. The concert was a western theme and featured many more Western Movie themes. Lur-love it.
Eli Wallach
It's embarrassing just how many times I've listened to this Orchestra piece.
This one of the best if not the best Reaction Videos I've heard/seen. You
didn't talk all the way through it like some. Great Video Reaction. 👍
From observing the look on your face....you get it! Your reactions are great. God Bless.
It is always great to experience all types of music and sound vibrations
The egg shaped instrument is an ocarina, the tall multi pipe is a chime set, and the other was an oboe. The hanging man is from another spaghetti Western Hang em High.
Scores add SO MUCH to the film experience. The emotional reaction is driven in large part by the music.
If you haven't done so already, I always suggest John Williams & Boston Pops.
You cannot beat an amazing Orchestra for a live performance. Especially when they play an iconic theme like this.
I played a Double Bass for a school orchestra. The instrument was taller than I was at the time lol
This piece is called, "Music To Shoot Lee Van Cleef By."
Wrong piece - that's "Il Triello/The Trio".
The two pieces here are the main theme and Ecstasy of Gold, the latter coming right before Il Triello in the film.
The suspense in Il Triello is insane though - it's like Ravel's Bolero but for battle.
If you haven't watched the film its a must a true classic in its own right, each peice of music depicts perfectly to the scene.
You should check out Nino Rota’s “God Father Theme” by this orchestra.
Most people don't realize there are lyrics to The Godfather theme. It's a love song.
ua-cam.com/video/VBPPWb4ZQpU/v-deo.html
Special when you here real talent and music that actually has a melody.
Awesome reaction! Gotta love the respect you have for these musicians..
Oh, I've been waiting for you to react to this one. Thank you. Just one question--did it make your playlist?
There is a reason why Metallica have opened every single show they've played since 1983 with this theme.. Morricone=one of the greatest composers of our time🤟
music from the great movie 😎👍 Music by the great composer Ennio Morricone . he died to 2020 i think .. When you can , react to this good other music from Ennio Morricone --> music for the very good movie Orca 1977 .. Orca .. have 2 version on UA-cam .. 12 min version and 6 min version .. both are good ..
its an orcarina
Ocarina.
@@waynemarvin5661 Not if it's played by an orca. Then it's called an orcarina.
@Bayou Maccabee 😂😂😂
@@waynemarvin5661 man it’s been too long since I’ve played ocarina of time I’ve forgot how to spell it lel
Talented people brought together… magic happens ❤
This is an awesome reaction
AWSOME ORCHESTRA VERY GOOD, THEY NAIL IT. LOVE FROM DENMARK
👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo love this,The Good,The Bad and the Ugly,brilliant loved it since the first time I watched it,watched it many times,Clint Eastwood 😍
A feast for the eyes as well as the ears. Oh, and yours might be the best reaction ever!
One of the best Westerns ever made and it wasnt even filmed in the US.
It was directed by legendary italian director Sergio Leone, in Italy.
OST is by Ennio Morricone, the same composer of The Godfather soundtrack, and ohe of the greatest composers of the XX century.
Epic.
From the begining till end with open mouth. That is something!
If you have not seen these 3 movies, you must see them. The stories are slowly, yet almost romantically shown in a unique style that builds to epic climaxes. The music moves you along with the great acting, direction and cinematography with such a amazing style.
I agree. I'm 69 years old and I have a selection (around 400) of movies on DVD and BluRay and a vinyl album collection (over 600) that range from the late 40's to present day. I know that when I die, none of my family will want to keep them, and they will either be sold off for a dollar or two each or stuck in a corner somewhere. If I knew somewhere to donate them where they would be appreciated for what they are, I would have that done.
Your look is priceless, what a truly masterpiece of a soundtrack, the late Ennio Morricone really was a genius in many ways. Now Clint Eastwood is in my book arguably the best actor of all time, he has been doing it for decades, now also directing awesome movies. Amazing actor, a treasure for sure.
And now you know bro, classical players can be rock stars too!
Btw that Tuva's look at 6:37 (probably back to Christine awaiting her part again) is so.....so lovely if I may say. She is a very nice looking woman with eyes "that talk".
If you ever live on the plains of the west for any time you would hear the coyotes cry at night ( the women choir ) and clap of thunder and whip snapping (slapping sticks), the blond woman singer is the prairie wind , canyon echoes (male choir) all classic western movie sounds.
Really enjoy your facial expressions on this incredible masterpiece.
First one is an ocarina, chimes, and oboe. The hanging person is from the movie.
The film is Clint Eastwood, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Watch it and you will understand the hanging man.
Greatest western movie in history ❤
Most people don't realize what they have just seen.
A Japanese conductor
leading the Danish National Symphony
italian (roman) composer: Ennio Morricone R.I.P.
in playing music from an Italian movie
filmed in Spain
financed by Germans
and starring three Americans.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Italian: Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, literally "The good, the ugly, the bad") is a 1966 Italian epic spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood as "the Good", Lee Van Cleef as "the Bad", and Eli Wallach as "the Ugly"
Ennio Morricone was simply a genius. R.I.P.
Man, i would LOVE to take you to see just this! THIS is what's been missing in your life
The hanging guy is from his movie ‘Hang ‘‘em High’, which came out in the latter ‘60s about four or so years after ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ which was early ‘60s…
They were probably playing themes from all his westerns during that concert. (I’d like to watch the whole thing sometime.)
The handheld instrument he was blowing into was originally a South American aboriginal instrument that sounds kinda like a flute.
The upright silver tubes are Chimes if I’m not mistaken. Really pricey ones…
IMHO . . .
Hey man, thanks for posting, glad to to see the new generations are discovering these masterpieces
I LOVE YOUR REACTION! Your mouth hanging open in amazement is priceless!
Whoever requested this for him, thank you a million times over! That was totally awesome!
@Vincent Schmitt Much obliged. Keep these great recommendations comin'!
@Vincent Schmitt Pretty cool. Giving all those shoppers a nice treat from Bolero!
His reaction was beautiful. European cultural traditions like this should never be allowed to die.
Please promise us you will watch the film. You need to hear the music in context with the film.
It was epic! Wah Wah Wahhhhh!
The late Ennio Morricone was one of the greatest composers of film scores. He composed more than 400 scores for film and television. His score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential soundtracks in history. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennio_Morricone
YES!!!!
R.I.P. Maestro Morricone.
Ecstasy of Gold
Check out Donald Fagan's interview with Morricone in his book, 'Eminent Hipsters'.
Thanks for that information. I had no idea of who the composer was, or that he was so prolific.
Clearly, it is easy for those of us watching the movies, to overlook those that compose the music for them.
Their music enhances the movies in so many ways.
Thanks again.
THIS...is a fine example of your fans not leading you astray. For those who requested this...a round of applause!
💯

Another sound track he should listen to is Danish National Symphony doing Once Upon A Time In The West-- Christine Hanbro does a solo that'll knock your socks off. To hear an Angel sing from heaven, listen to Patricia Janeckova sing Once Upon A Time in The West...
The original video is one of my favorite of all time. Soooooo good for sooooo many reasons.
@@knokname6466 Patricia is a wonderful singer.
What an honor it must be to be a member of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.
@bob smith - it is. There is usually just slightly over 100 of them. But yeah, they are the best, performing music from movies too. And I'm sure that almost everybody loves Tuva :)
Just a note: A lot of orchestras go for a slightly different kind of approach to music now. Not just a classical ones, but also playing composition/scores from movies (and some of them have been written by masters too, such Hans Zimmer, John Williams, James Horner for example).
Then you may have a combination of a classical approach, and modern music - such as "Accept - Symphony No.40", done together with Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and Ava-Rebekah Rahman (world renowed solo violinist). And the score was written by Wolf Hoffmann, based on the classical music (in this particular case, Mozart). All in all, an insteresting time to listen to "this kind of music".
The first soprano, Tuva Simersen, is one of the best sopranos in the world. The second, Christine, this was her first solo performance.
Tuva Simersen, is actually not a soprano but a Mezzo-soprano (her vocal range lies between soprano and contralto)
Tuva "Simersen's" name is actually Semmingsen and she is Swedish. @@Rynas
@@martinbynion1589The name was a typo/copy from OP. I know her very well (personally) and where she is from and it is not Sweeden: She is born in Norway and first studied in Oslo before she moved to Østerbro in Copehagen (Denmark) where she studied and now does her work.
Tuva’s still called the Wa-Wa girl. This was Christine’s first performance with the orchestra.
The small wooden instrument is an ocarina
Man seeing an orchestra live is an experience man. You feel the sound wash over you. You feel it in your bones man.
Yessss the symphony is magical
I think the DSO playing For A Few Dollars More is better.
I’m 72 and when I see younger people who’ve been raised on rock and roll, hear different kinds of music and they appreciate it as much as you obviously do, it makes me emotional. I watched your reactions to Beethoven and Mozart too and it just does my heart good 💕
love music 76 don't see age or old,,, Love TALENTED GIFT Elvis and many!!!!!!!types,styles, gospel, ethnic, all way to today's TALENTED GIFT Tom MacDonald! 👍👍💕
Love music FROM TALENT GIFT of Elvis thru many genres, ethnic, gospel, blues , rock. all way to TODAYS GIFT Tom MacDonald!!!
Word
Watching ALOT of Tom MacDonald,, amazing messages, Elvis👍👍 ,Tom👍👍 different genres BUT just as impactful, sincere talent,,Toms Amazing lyricist,,
I am 70. Rock & roll was 50’s and early 60’s. Mostly in the 50’s is when rock & roll records were being piled up by the religious and destroyed. It was the “Devil’s music” and was destroying America! Things started to change because of surfer music, the British Invasion, Motown, Folk music, R&B, etc.. Rock became totally different.
I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but if you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favor and watch it immediately!! And I've never met one person on Earth who doesn't like this theme!!
Yes, but be sure to see the Director's Cut, as some versions have parts cut from the movie, which is a travesty.
I'd say it was the best undisturbed 4 hours I ever watched in any film. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes for a scene to unfold, such was the slow pace of the film, but it held you all that time as you didn't want to miss a single scene of the story that was being told. Fantastic performances, especially from the lead actors.
@@whazzuphere Some scenes from the director's cut had been damaged or had incomplete audio, so they had to get an older Eli Wallach and Clint Eastwood back in to re-voice the scenes... you can hear the difference of 30 years or so in the voices of the old and new parts. Sadly, Lee Van Cleef had passed away by then, but they managed to use a voice actor to impersonate him on his scenes with some success.
@@bobinscotland I'm glad you got to see the film in its entirety. I have seen televised versions, cut due to time constraints, which deleted key scenes, such as the scene with Lee Van Cleef at the hospital and Tuco's epic running through the cemetery. Not one scene should be cut from this masterpiece!
@@whazzuphere I bought the director's cut on DVD to see the whole picture... love that uncut version, but I understand the problems that a 4 hour film creates for TV.
ENNIO MORRICONE,SERGIO LEONE 🙏 R..I.P pride of my city..pride of Rome!
Giordano... my heart thoroughly bleeds for their loss.
Daje !
True master. I listen to him whenever I draw and need inspirational music.
Ennio Moriconi was a total genius. The emotion he put into a western has no equal
@@markchisnall4535 at least spell it right
