- On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Yannick Nézet-Séguin led a commemorative performance of Verdi’s Requiem, featuring the Met Orchestra and Chorus and soloists Ailyn Pérez, Michelle DeYoung, Matthew Polenzani, and Eric Owens.
dude imagine the IMMENSE power the conductor was feeling in that moment
only if he's not conducting🙂
Its cocaine for free.
*UNLIMITED POOOOOWER*
It was his day of wrath xD
I’d feel more power as a bass drummer
If this were only piece of music in existence, everyone would want to grow up to be a bass drum player.
And a choir conductor!

Allow me to introduce you to _"that one moment"_ in "rites of spring"
@@YawnMK1 i know the moment haha
@@YawnMK1 How about THAT ground-breaking moment in Strauss's Salome? Or that in his Alpensinfonie? Those are the parts where both the Earth & the sky shatter!
The conductor is giving it large like a rock star on stage.
Well I am the weirdo with an opinion here BUT: Would be weird he wouldn't be. The Conductor is responsible for keeping the orchestra together AND getting the emotions he wants out of theire play. All these, to the not classical trained eye weird looking gestures and movements translate directly into some sort of different play in each musician. Well and the Dies Irae requires a lot of intense emotion
You got that right. His passion is infectious. I got tired just watching him.
He is a rock start on stage!
;-)
(star!!)
@@freschi9934 hi, classical musician here! in general, professional orchestras kind of conduct themselves, and the musicians mostly only rely on the conductor for special cues (starting the music, in pauses, a soloist's entrance, etc.). a BIG part of a conductor's job is being showy for the audience, and you can really see that here. not undermining his actual conducting either, it's super important, and he definitely put a lot of work into it to make it super emotional. i'd say that the conductor is putting a ton of emotion in both because of the piece/players and because of the stage aspect of it all.
Imagine being the soloist sitting at the front hearing this pandaemonium happening behind you...
😂
thats what i was thinking too lmfao
Been there. It's the BEST seat in the house. The whole stage space is a sound shell pointing forward, floor, the chair is air is vibrating. It's quite the thrill, and you get PAID!
I’d be glad they’re on my side! 😂
@@helenbickers3563 COOOOL!
Mozart's sounds like a boss fight.
Verdi's sounds like a chase scene.
Oh how i fucking hate that Freebird scene in Spec Ops The Line.
@@satriadicky3732skill issue
Listen to Schnittke's as well
mad max af
love it
verdi goosbumbs.......Mozart almost
I'm so blessed to live in an age where I can just Shazam this absolute masterpiece and play it in 2 seconds
I know right!
I just did this
real
The Vatican should have a 1000 members orchestra and choir ready to play this in St. Peter square when the world ends.
Lol. Indeed!
Real
Mozart's dies irae sounds like a record of what someone thinks the days of wrath would be like.
Verdi's version sounds like the actual days of wrath. Can't beat Mozart's lacrimosa though
Perfectly phrased
To be fair Verdi's Lacrimosa is equally amazing in its own right, just different.
Howells has the best Salvator Mundi and Michael Haydn's opening movement is beautiful (it heavily influenced Mozart)
Mozart only wrote the first 8 bars of lacrimosa though-
Somewhere on youtube i read, that Mozart's dies irae describes the day o wrath seen from above (maybe God's perspective) and Verdi's dies irae sounds like experiencing it on earth.
Neber forgot that comment.
I saw this in person. It commemorated the 20th anniversary of 9/11, and the first performance at the Met Opera since COVID started. The opening was so powerful, so many tears shed.
How much the ticket is?
@@nurindinie4886 $50.
lucky!
Amazing:D
Me too. Probably the most moving performance I have ever and will ever experience
the absolut POWER of an orchetra is one of the most badass punk things that will ever exist on this planet
What a thrill to have been a part of this!
Well done sir!
You guys rocked the building!! I aspire to reach the level of skill you guys have 🙏
Yooo that’s awesome! This performance was amazing!
Wow!This performance sends chills down my spine!May I ask what you did in the performance?
@@biki_kanajudging by the pop, I’d imagine it’s the tuba. Congrats mate, the tuba is really hard to play (at least for me)
A lot of performances of this all blend together. It is done a lot, because it is good and fun to perform. This performance stands out of the hundreds I have heard, including ones I myself have been apart of. I can FEEL the anger in the performance. And the Dynamics are just perfect. Rarely do the dynamics really stick out in this movement. WELL done everyone!
The slight ritardando near the end stood out for me. Inspired conducting.
What are dynamics?
@@needtoknowbasis3499 dynamics are The soft and loud parts, while maintating the same energy. Sometimes they are written in the score and other times the conductor interprets them. A lot of groups who do this all do the same parts BLAST and Whisper....it gets a little old. They do some new things here.
This song doesn't express anger, but rather terror for the righteous wrath god by all rights should impose against us, knowing we, cradled in our filth as we are, don't deserve a single ounce of God's Grace or Mercy
Excellent sound technicians capturing every bit of piccolo, trumpet, bass clarinet, worth a re listen for the orchestral colour
As someone who sang this piece in concert, it males you feel real powerful. Kind of a high tbh
where r u at? or you aren’t in frame?
@@twointegerreal I sang this piece in a different concert. I wish I was that cool.
@@adrienlastname4663 oh, I bet you were great.
소리라는 것으로 음악을 만들고 그 음악으로 천벌을 표현하다니 정말 신기하다.
😩🙏
0:13 gave my goosebumps
That's my favourite part of the piece sjdjd
"RELEASE THE DEMONS!"
I don’t care when the world ends. But an Angel with this on a huge Bluetooth speaker on his wings has gotta blast this ! 😂
Yes, because everything is a movie and must have a soundtrack. That is what real life is.
@@needtoknowbasis3499 oh shut up and stop taking a light-hearted comment seriously. I'm sure people are just sooo happy being around you.
@@needtoknowbasis3499I mean, countries have their own soundtracks, why can’t days of reckoning have one too?
Cállate ojalá se cumpla 💃@@needtoknowbasis3499
everything was fantastic: from the director to the choir to the orchestra..
The combinantion of the powerful music itself and the instruments with the message of judgement and possibly eternal damnation is just such a vibe
I was there, near the front row. It was electrifying!
This part was absolutely mesmerizing. Fabulous performance 🤩
Maestro Yannick has spectacular energy!!🤩❤️🌹🤩🎇
0:44 you can see that the second bass drum beat the camera shakes a little bit, that shows the power of a bass drum
What a day....What a lovely day!!
THAT BASS DRUM! Unbelievable, louder than any recording I've ever heard, and resonant too! At least tied with Solti and Toscanini in my opinion.
They just did the Mahler 2 and now this! The MET Orchestra and Choir on FIRE. They are used to doing Verdi every year but this had to be a treat.
Unbelievable, unforgettable, moved me to tears !
Oh to be a troubled genius poet who is going mad writing their masterpiece during a storm and having this play as their descent into madness reaches a fever point.
When humanity can no longer put up with one another, when intolerance finally breaks into rage, I’ll be listening to this.
Simply stunning! Congratulations Met Orchestra, Chorus and Yannick 🙏😘🎼
One of the best nights of my life was going with my siblings to see Verdi's Requiem performed by the SONA at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville AR. I got tickets by my sister's recommendation and didn't know anything about what the performance would be. Sitting near the front rows as this was blasting into my soul and laughing out of bewildered joy was amazing.
god bless all the great musicians through out the ages for leaving us with such amazing treasures. :D
Jesus definitely coming back to this
Heh, absolutely..!
yeah but will he join batman?
That declarative bar with the emphasized beats out of tempo really got my attention. I've never heard it done so willfully. Love it.
Absolutnie genialne. Na początku trzęsienie ziemi potem wyciszenie. Uwielbiam takie momenty w muzyce. To prawdziwy koniec świata opowiedziany przez muzykę.Owacje na stojąco. Marzenie każdego chórzysty żeby choć raz zaśpiewać taki utwór.
You hear this as you rush to do your homework before its due at 12:00 midnight.
I love music with the expressions that you can feel even though its not performing currently or something that just leaves a feeling in your body and mind.
?????
@@needtoknowbasis3499 I don’t make sense do I?
My God! What a performance!!! ( reminds me to tears when my husband - solo tympanist- played it) Buenos Aires- Arg.
I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE! CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!
Comercial music with billions of views won't exist in the future years. This kind of music will live in eternity
Welcome back. This is so emotional. You’re back together again and making incredible music. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
this is the best performance of this piece i've seen yet.
Un doux mélange d'ėxalctaltion et de calme... Merci pour ce Chef-d'œuvre
Que performance INCRÍVEL! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Exécution magistrale 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I assisted to some Yannick Nézet-Séguin (the conductor ) concerts in montreal he s an absolute legend
That was astonishing! I want to watch the conductor and the piccolo player! So intense.
I was there. It was AMAZING!
This is one of the most perfect songs to daydream to.
Absolutely beautiful.
0:46 I love this cut where the camera shakes
I was lucky enough to hear this live. I also like metal, but no other piece of music is comparable to the sheer power of this piece.
This gave me goosebumps, I can't imagine what hearing this performed in person must be like
The best rcording of this piece I've ever heard!
I hear such crisp details I've never heard before!
I watched it live yesterday! Bravissimi tutti :)!
I love this conductor so much
I love it how the drums in the back are representing cannons or explosions which is a very magnificent choice of instruments 😩
So beautiful....!
how really great fitting for this year - real great performance.
The man playing the Monsters Bass Drum! What a amazing! This man is super committed to the work!
To people who say that classical music is boring and makes them fall asleep, I respond "have you heard anyone's Dies Iræ?"
Mahler's Titan
@@marcodragneel8035 Yes! I love Mahler's first!
I could see, though, how some could consider the second and third movements boring... I would disagree, but I could see hoe some could think that.
Excellent interpretation ! M° Yannick Full Power BRAVO !
WE'RE GOING TO OST-PARİS WITH THIS ONE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
FR!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
BURGUNDY WHO?! 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯
I have such a special place in my heart for this song!! ♡♡ we used this at AHS, 2011 MARCHING BAND as our closer ^-^ I was the front ensemble captain
lol
0:37 Maestro surely did take something out of that chorale, just perfect!
0:23 me at work everyday
Perfect alarm sound. No snooze after that.
that is some MASTERFUL conducting on Yannick's part
When I see this, I understand why some people in the past were absolutely terrified listening to this. If you've never witnessed this masterpiece live, you have absolutely no idea how powerful, how majestic, how intimidating it sounds. It's like getting punched by god himself.
Wow! Powerful piece.
I can listen to this to energize, refresh, revive….
100 piece orchestra. 100 person choir. The sound of the Earth opening up to consume itself
This is the kind of music that will transport you and blow your mind. How it can go from Crescendo to mezzo piano in a matter of seconds
I was in the middle of making enchiladas when the drums hit! I wanted to run a marathon that instant!
First time seeing a young conductor, I can't believe it exist!
0:25 This part sounds intense and omg I love it. Verdi wrote a great version. Keep this video up and don't let this song die.
Ive been looking for tgis song for ages and ive finally found it!!!!!!
this song gives me so much chills i love it
I have nothing bad to say. This is beautiful
it's good to see that Bruce Willis is still getting work
this piece always brings me memories of "Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup" video game hahah. Love this!!
Haha me too! As a kid I was not aware this was not an original score for the game. When I heard it later in the movie trailer for mad max fury road I thought they took it from the video game and was so confused xD
You have to fall to your knees by this blast, gather the power of the music and grab your sword to make this day the dies irae!
I’m learning the timpani part to Verdi’s requiem. Lots of counting and rests, but this portion of the requiem makes it worth it ☺️. Love the bass drum part too
Imagine trying to get sleep at night after performing this. You'd be awake for a week
Dies irae, dies illa - Grande Verdi ! Magnifica esecuzione.
I LOVE this!! ❤
I had the privilege of experiencing the Budapest State opera doing this in 2015 in the day of the dead. There's few words. Just go and experience it
idk what it is about this version specifically, but i love it
Amazing!!! ❤❤❤
OMG! Beautiful a lot!!!!!!!!
Imagine conducting an orchestra and a choir at the same time. Holy shit.
Beautiful!
Congratulations Met! It was absolutely amazing!
Goosebumps 😍 e bravo Verdi!
Masterpiece!
and one of the greatest meme songs was born as the god said to verdi "let there be epic"
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is spectacular!
I wish I had as much fun at ANYTHING in life as that conductor.
How much choir do you want?
Verdi : yes.
베르디 레퀴엠 진노의 날 이 지휘자가 최고인듯
소리를 잡고 있으라는 표현과 한번에 끊으라는 게 소름돋게 느껴지네요...
최고입니다
“ Conductor “
Goosebump Music to the SOUL❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷
