My flute teacher if OBSESSED with this piece
I hate everyone who says this is too slow; it is already wonderful
It sounds better at 1.25 speed
The people saying it’s too slow are correct. In the movie Fantasia it’s supposed to be faster
@@watermelonisgood2500 its not “supposed” to be faster
There are different interpretations
This is too slow...
Even than at composers' scriabin orchesfra play
Too slow.
Listening to this on full volume, was certainly quite the experience, but also very, very frightening.
Gordon Campbell a very powerful piece of music and very frightening too, but at the same time beautiful
I did that too and out of appreciation my neighbours threw a brick through my window so they could here the music better.
You ain’t kidding.
Try it on acid!
The slower, more deliberate version of this with the more aggressive tempo switches is phenomenal!!
This is one of the most powerful pieces of music in my opinion.
@Walter Blanco nothing!
@Walter Blanco wagner was a person, not a piece
What a joy to hear this piece played slowly and poignantly. If speed is your need there's always the Flight of the Bumblebee.
Nice idea.just you are so humorist and realy appreciate your joke.
You know what maybe it isn't that bad after all ☠️☠️☠️
Or perhaps the Sabre dance.
I'm playing this at the moment, its so much fun!!
Beautiful music, yes
I remember watching a live performance of it at Powell Symphony Orchestra way back in the 60’s in St Louis MO lol! I was in second grade learning how to play the cello and music students got to go listen to them 3 times during the school year. It was fantastic!
I will play in an orchestra like this one when I get older. FLUTE ROCKS!!!!!!!!! 🎼🎧🏆
Preach

i like flute, but viola is just a better instrument
+NCKL BRUCE every instrument is amazing
+NCKL BRUCE violas are much better than violins---they burn longer
We have had 4 days of wild thrashing wind and horizontal rain -- a perpetual Night on Bald Mountain -- and I just had to play this. I also forgot how I loved the music for the sunrise, the sun ALMOST seems to rise, then sinks back and tries again, and sinks back and at last it bursts forth in harp-blessed arpeggios. Wonderful! The day outside is still wild and tumultuous, but I wait for the serenity of the sunrise. Thank you for starting my day.
Brilliant encapsulation of this music 🎶
I love the clarinet solo at the end of this piece.
This is intense.
I’m in love with the trombone part
I am playing this piece right now in my youth orchestra, I play second bassoon and still enjoy it! That doesn't really happen that often because I play boring stuff. Before I only really liked playing Hungarian rhapsody no.2, it is nice to have another piece that is fun!
Even though this has been slowed down a little, it is still a wonderful masterpiece.
put the speed to 1.25 guys :)
+jbap7777 That's better :)
I'm in cellphone ... so sad ):
+BardY63 you need to go out D:
ahaha, this is a sabbath in slo-mo!!! :D
A simple and effective solution, thanks !
13:03 - 13:12 = a susserus: the performers pose, as if listening to their instruments whispering, until their motion breaks the spell holding back the applause. Music is magic.
BRAVO!! BRAVO!!! Loved this performance. Fantastic!!
This is fucking macabre. Master piece!!!!!!!!!!! Insana, arrepia!!!!
absolutely beautiful. thank you for posting this.
I love this piece it's quite epic
Great title for such a deeply stirring piece of music. Thank you all.
I got to play bassoon part for this at our band concert!! This is amazing and fun!
A greatly soul-uplifting work !
Ever since I've discovered Fleshgod Apocalypse my opinion on classical music has drastically changed. Why do I always need something amazing to appreciate other amazing art?
Metal inherits a lot of classical qualities and themes. You've probably always liked it, you just didn't know
check out Mekong Delta´s version of this track ;)
marduk uses this intro and music fr the track glorification of the black god
I cannot wait to see night on bald mountain next year at the Detroit symphony
"I don't always listen to Classical Music; but when I do, it sounds like this."
It's From the romantic era, not classical, but yes it is a great piece to listen to
This is going into my favorites.
Herbert Stothart has used an orchestral arrangement of Mussorgsky's piano composition of Night On Bald Mountain in the incidental score for MGM's The Wizard of Oz. This plays during Dorothy's escape from the Wicked Witch's tower.
I will say this, the concert D's after 8:50 were absolutely beautiful sounding
Yes, but it's a shame there wasn't an *actual* bell in there.
fantastic recording
You all can chop my head off if you like, but I like this rendition! I personally think that the slow tempo reveals lines and phrases that are not heard when it is played fast. The orchestration is quite dense and it needs to be played slowly to hear all of the nuances in the piece. Your mileage will vary, of course, but I prefer "Bald Mountain" played at a slow tempo like this conductor did.
One other point: The Ludvig Symphony Orchestra is not a world-class orchestra, so I cut them some slack that I would not give to the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symnphony, or the New York Philharmonic. I don't demand perfect musicianship. If a piece is played well enough that I can enjoy it, I am content. And i enjoyed this rendition!
+Bill Chambers Totally agree. Never heard it played this slow and it's wonderful - darker and more creepy, as it should be!
I totaly agree with you!
I think maybe you have slow ears. I'm leaving Europe until all this head-chopping business is over.
i like it at 1.25 speed lol
UA-cam has taught me that the kind of people that listen to this, and are knowledgeable about it, often over-lap with the same kind of people who think they know everything and that their opinions are 'definitive'.
Beautiful. I like this music.
Bravo!
No hay nada mejor que la música clásica. Muy bonito.
I met this melody in Mazinger Z Chapter 32. They used it as the theme for the first mechanical beast that managed to defeat Mazinger.
Mussorgsky was a genius...
Excelente interpretación, felicitaciones a todos.
this reflects my personality thanks
the very best version in my point of view. So beautiful and scarry at the same time :-)
The plastic surgeons must have hid the scars pretty well.
I've played this on my balcony.
After that i've summoned Chernabog on a mountain.
I would not be ab to get a good night‘s sleep out of fear
I will continue to have nightmares .
My fear is unfathomable
What ! creativity. ...!
magnifique
Please set speed to 1.5 for best playing quality.
4 years ago!
OMG peeps!
They play a little slow, listen at 1.25 speed and it’s at a more accurate pace as the soundtrack.
Listen Night on Disco Mountain of the Bee Gees😎
Thanks. Hes right
@@daysund.3805 p.
The "soundtrack" or whatever you're calling it is irrelevant. This piece of music was composed 154 years ago and has nothing to do with any modern movie, let alone some random "soundtrack." There is NO definitive "soundtrack" to this music. And thus, no definitive way of portraying it. Orchestras and Conductors are free to play this piece any way they wish. Fast or slow. It's all good.
It really works. At 1.25 speed it sounds so accurate to Fantasia's version.
I thought that poor harp player was never going to get a chance to play.
Hey! I play the harp, and it is indeed a very small bit... But that has the benefit that you can enjoy the performance while being in the orchestra.
i just learnd music ike just now
Lol same
As a traps and hand percussionist, I feel her pain.
"...aaaaaand. Now!"
I have to play this for band
0:28 Mickey: “Oh boy, my favorite seat. Oh. Uh, excuse me. Do you mind?”
If you speed it up by 1.25 its the speed at which most bands play it; if you put it at 1.5 it's the speed they played in the actual Fantasia
How do you mess with the speed? I can't find that button...
Ok, good...I was looking for other comments where someone mentioned the speed. I think it's too slow, personally...but that's only because the first time I heard it was faster (and it's obviously the recording by which I judge all other performances, heh.)
Well while I agree on the 1.25, in the version of Fantasia I saw they played it was played like that, maybe you watched the 80's version? In that one they go as fast as in 1.5

My school did this!
Brilliant, evocative especially when lined up with The Devil calling everyone from their graves to Dance on All Hallows Eve -- 31/10.
Banished for a year by All Saints Day 1/11....
Sounds like the metronome was set to 70-74. Either way, still love the music. Wonderfully performed.
Nice
I enjoyed the music even though the tempo, at times, tended to be slower than what is common. The camera work was not as sharp as it could have been. Did they have a marked score in the control room?
I agree with the camera part, especially when they were trying to get everyone in the woodwinds section and missed a single person and the shakeynes of the camera there was weird
intergalactic !
Why in the heck would anybody put an advert in the middle!? It was glorious till that chimed in
Night on Bald Mountain: starts playing
Sora: floating in the darkness
Chernobog: appears
Sora: our fight will be legendary.
Who remembers this ren and stimpy space madness
Listen Night on Disco Mountain of the Bee Gees!!! 😎
The perfect soundtrack for a call cthullu movie, to play at most scary scenes
Welcome to planet Heck!
Dedicated to the
people of Quora:
Ride your branches,
fly up high,
evil in the midnight sky.
Call your demons
up from hell,
rise in the cloudy,
windy swell.
Seek you all
who dwell above,
who treat with treachery,
not with love.
Harry them
from place to place,
across the moon's
bright white face.
Never resting,
give no peace,
miserable life
without cease.
Let them suffer
from madness long,
scant, cold comfort,
death's final song.
3:42 the conductor cuts a beat I believe
So powerful, so evil, so... genius.
I remember Sleeping Beauty when I hear this.
i am missing the triangle.. or do I have this song mixed up with another.
This was in my freshman show lmao
That's boss
I remember this song from a Commodore 64 game similar to King Kong/Godzilla
lol i like how when the harp does something it zooms in on her
a crazy conductor
There not playing it too slow at all, this is a OK performance.
OH MY GAWWWWDDD!!! FUUUUUUCK YEAAAAHHH!!!!! PUT EARBUDS IN.
The brass are very bright in this performance.
Wise people, do u know the tonality of this piece?
im actually kinda jealous they get to play it this slow bc my orchestra is trying to kill our arms playing this at 120 or something
Playing on 1.25x speed sounds..... More correct than regular for some reason
try speed at:1.50
Intergalactic planetary planetary intergalactic
Ok But Listen Night on Disco Mountain !!! Magic Version
Dat brass tho
I thought it was a little loud at certain parts
That harp lady was spaced out for all those 14 minutes.
1:50
Not listening to a symphony with a commercial in the middle. I'll check the other choices.
only 406k vues...people really loose the taste of musique day after days...
