To me, the mood of this piece isn’t pure joy and celebration; but also has a suspenseful/warning undertone in it. It seems like it is heralding a time/event that was long anticipated and everyone is optimistic, yet it later turns out to be a disappointment or disaster. It would have been an appropriate piece to play at dawn on New Year’s Day 2020.
@@rebecca8525 Interesting comment considering this piece is based on a work by Friedrich Nietzsche. Also, if you are not aware, the full piece is actually over 30 minutes long, you should listen to it sometime if you haven't, it has everything you mention in it, but does not end in disaster. Also, the introduction you are hearing here depicts a sunrise, the low rumble of the opening measures is clearly the darkness before the dawn.
I was a trumpetist for ten years when I broke my arm. To still be part of the orchestra, I joined the percussion for the next concert to do some simple things. I can tell you, waiting two minutes to smash a gong or symbal was the most stress I ever had during a concert.
nah-uuh, Mahler's Brass Choral. It builds throughout the entire symphony, but the Brass Choral itself (at 5th movement of the 2nd Symphony) is like 3 minutes.
Except that this is just the opening section, and the whole piece lasts a good 30 minutes! This part is the only section most people know, thanks to 2001.
@@dan-us6nk Thanks for tipping me off to this piece, I wasn't familiar with it before. I've tried getting into Mahler before but it's never really reached me. This Brass Chorale reminds me a bit of Pines of Rome/Appian Way by Respighi.
1:33 It may seem to many people that the participation of the cymbal guy is something simple and easy but I say that their participation is of extreme importance and it takes a lot of sensitivity and precision to beat the cymbal at the right time. The perfect cincronism of cymbal explosion with metals is that it puts all emotion in the end. If the beat is anticipated or delayed, it puts everything to waste. It was cold and accurate, like a sniper.
Yes! I've seen another performance of this piece, and they don't seem to focus on - or emphasize - the cymbals as much. I love how the spotlight is on the cymbalist as well as the very deserving timpanist. 😊❤
The percussionist was in a band from the age of 5, youth orchestras all through primary and secondary school, a performance major as an undergraduate, then a PhD in music theory. So yes, he was prepared for that moment.
One of the most awe-inspiring openings to a work of music ever written. Kubrick always made impeccable choices in his soundtracks and this one for 2001 is indelible.
I've listened to dozens of versions of Also Sprach Zarathustra, and this one is by far the best. The timing is perfect, the timpani spot on and the enthusiasm of the cymbalist is incredible.
...This is the kind of performance that every human being has to hear live at least once in his lifetime. Thank you M. Kubrik to let me know this masterpiece when i was 8 years old.
1:26 The way Dudamel pitter-patters a bit and his face that says "Now lets fuck this up!" ... Beyond that amazing performance. What a crystal clear sound. Amazeballs.
Imagine how much better weddings would be if people walked down the aisle to this. Graduations, weddings, every instance where we typically play classical music would be so much better.
Ich leide an schweren Depressionen aber das ist so geil einfach, dass ich bei dem ganzen Stück Gänsehaut und Tränen hatte!!! Danke Richard Strauss, Danke Orchester!!
Wow. Gänsehaut pur - und es geht richtig unter die Haut. So viel besser als Nietzsches Textvorlage. Toller Dirigent, tolles Orchester. 7 Sterne von mir!
This have also been one of my favorite pieces of music. Also brings tears to my eyes. I always have random points in my life where i feel the need to search snd listen to this so I can rejuvenate myself
Yes, we are born at the right generation for us to listen this powerful, and iconic orchestra. And no other songs and musics can outmatch this classical masterpiece!
@@totolias2010 well…i am a Chrsitian and I don’t think so (dispite the fact that i do not agree with Nietsche; He has not all the truth about God; it’s only an atheist man thought)
My Father was a huge fan of 2001 ASO and when he wasn't on duty at the base or working in a hardware store.....on Saturday mornings he'd sneak out to the living room and BLAST that piece of music to wake everyone up!
The percussionist really has to nail it with his final cymbal splash. He is up against a 75 piece orchestra and organ pulling out all the stops, pun intended. A masterful direction, from pianissimo to fortissimo with the diminuendo and crescendo on the final chord. I wonder what Strauss would think seeing his music under the movie's opening. ( Gotta feel for the trumpeters in front of the cymbals! )
Impecable performance, exquisite synchronization and yet delicate execution. One cannot help to relate this masterpiece to the greatest wrestler to ever lace them boots up, The Nature Boy Ric Flair. ❤ woooooooo

The conductor is on fire, the composition is flawless. Herd this for the first time on an elementary school field trip to the symphony in '79. Later when seeing the opening of 2001 a space oddessy.
You really don't appreciate how well recorded this is until you're right infront of a capable sound system with a flat response and the right power amplifiers behind it to give the "oomph". It gives you goosebumps. Can't even imagine how this sounds performed live.
@@IndubitablyIndeedi We once played the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, and the conductor told us to try to break the timpanis' head, and I think that's a perfect illustration of how to play
When Zarathustra was thirty years old, he left his home and the lake of his home, and went into the mountains. There he enjoyed his spirit and his solitude, and for ten years did not weary of it. But at last his heart changed,-and rising one morning with the rosy dawn, he went before the sun, and spake thus unto it: Thou great star! What would be thy happiness if thou hadst not those for whom thou shinest! For ten years hast thou climbed hither unto my cave: thou wouldst have wearied of thy light and of the journey, had it not been for me, mine eagle, and my serpent. But we awaited thee every morning, took from thee thine overflow, and blessed thee for it. Lo! I am weary of my wisdom, like the bee that hath gathered too much honey; I need hands outstretched to take it. I would fain bestow and distribute, until the wise have once more become joyous in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches. Therefore must I descend into the deep: as thou doest in the evening, when thou goest behind the sea, and givest light also to the nether-world, thou exuberant star! Like thee must I go down, as men say, to whom I shall descend. Bless me, then, thou tranquil eye, that canst behold even the greatest happiness without envy! Bless the cup that is about to overflow, that the water may flow golden out of it, and carry everywhere the reflection of thy bliss! Lo! This cup is again going to empty itself, and Zarathustra is again going to be a man. Thus began Zarathustra's down-going.
Thanks much for informing people that it is Nietzsche's words that inspired this piece....and this Zarathustra is very different from the actual Zarathustra of 800 B.C.
It's so ironic that the first thing most peoply see it's just people making music. But it's so much more. Everyone here is part of the music. Every musician has to train for years and have full control of his senses and body to create a little yet flawless part of the whole. But not only that, the writer also had to put the right pieces together and had to understand what kind of emotion it awakens. Not to forget all the thousend of years to develop the concept of music or the instruments. Not only the musicians and the audience are part of the music but also every human that was part of the creation process of the parts. By no means it is possible to "really" see what it is in the first moment.
