Look at Diego Navaro. He is not just conducting, he is experiencing the whole thing. That's the essence of art.
I love him and his passion
Yes, conduct the ANGER, conduct the AGGRESSION, my cousin. Let it flow through you. BE ONE WITH THE PASSION.
Kevin Navarre 💖💖Yes!!!@
Well said my friend.
Have you seen him do Conan the Barbarian? It is amazing!
The conductor made this arrangement so great. All the other versions I've heard of this song aren't nearly as fast and aggressive. Every time I here this I think of maul vs kenobi. So intense.
This is the first performance that I am seing that has the right tempo.All you who are complaining that is too fast,no,the performances you saw or heard are too slow,they are dragging it,there's nothing worse than slow "Duel of the Fates" and I'm glad this conductor didn't let that happen here.Very good performance!
Some performances of this song are slowed just a tiny bit because the string section has it's work cut out for them on this one Try playing 16th notes on a violin with clarity. Now get a whole group of them together playing those notes in unison and clarity... It's damn hard.
It's exactly that tempo, how it was recorded on the original Soundtrack , so why complaining?
But my impression is ,that the acoustic situation in this great Concert Hall is difficult with this great cast of musicians and bring them together on point!!
He fights itself with the might and really like a Jedi with a small sword with this Great bulk Of fantastic players and singers! ;)
“Not quite your tempo”? 😉
This was conducted probably by a Sith Lord because it's a lot more violent then the others I have heard.
Edit: Hello There! #2020
For the Sith.
join the dark side on Jedi day(may 4th) receive ultimate credit and free courses from the sith lord
Darth Navarro ;p or Darth Diego, whichever you prefer, lol;)
peace is a lie
The Force brought me here.
All I need is Liam Neeson and Ewan Mcgreggor in a saber fight against Ray Park!
why use the actors' names tho?
@@israelRaizer doesn't matter
@@Platica.Vasile well, for some it may actually matter, as not everyone knows the name of all actors who portrayed their respective characters
@@israelRaizer and whats the problem?
@@Platica.Vasile I didn't say there was a problem, I just asked why use the actors' names because I found it weird
There are few things in life as beautiful and amazing as a full orchestra well played.
If Diego Navarro get's any wilder when conducting he's gonna need to wear a helmet :p
Anacronian Diego Vader?
he's having an imaginary lightsaber battle
he was quite crazy in good way directing anvil of crom
STORMTROOPER HELMET?
Anacronian try a suit of bubble wrap
Quite possibly the finest piece of music ever written for cinema to date ...of course this is my own little feeble opinion.
I am inclined to agree. In terms of its sheer power and strong emotions, it's hard to find any other piece of movie score that surpasses it. Sadly, it is also much more memorable than the scene it was used in... and of course this is MY own feeble opinion.
The Imperial March is better.
ojideagu hell no
Say what you will about Episode I, that lightsaber fight was superb. Of course this is my own little feeble opinion also.
Definitely one of the finest, but you should check out the score for "Conan the Barbarian" (1984) by Basil Polidouris. 😎👍🏽
Wow. This was done with so much passion! The conductor is awesome :)
through passion i gain powerthrough power i gain victorythrough victory my chains are brokenthe force shall free me
The low brass all deserve a raise.
TheBassTromboneGuy agreed, they were outstanding
wow the conductor really gets into the music
The conductor needs a double light saber
Conductor, symphony & choir literally SHREDDING it, so amazing!!!! Simply the best!! Bravo!!
I really like this energy on this one.
one of the best interpretations of this masterpiece! would have been perfect, if Diego Navarro held a lightsaber in his hand :D
All of you who are criticising this performance, I'd like to see you get up and do better.
Eunice Robertson no shit!! haters, they’re everywhere
The Sith Anthem, without a doubt. It's uncanny how often these otherwise engaging live performances are marred by underpowerd choirs. Someday someone will assemble the full Chor der Deutschen Oper Berlin for this piece and give it the performance of the century.
The conductor must really like Star Wars
We can almost hear the emperor whisper to Diego "good... Use your agressive feelings, boy ! Let the hate flow through you..."
This music is truly majestic. It's nothing short of a masterpiece. Love how Diego Navarro is out of breath at the end of it.
Daaaaamnnnnn!! That was the best choir I've ever listened to performing this masterpiece. It was so majestic and epic!!
The movie has really grown on me over the year's. The older I get the more I understand the politics and what it will lead to.
II DIRECTx II exactly, it is a great movie despite what people say
Phantom Menace is too average to be a good Star Wars Movie. Same with Attack of the Clones. HOWEVER, if you really like the politics then you'll love Clone Wars the 2008 show.
Phantom Menace and AoTC are better then what we're getting now
I've seen the movie for the first time when I was 9 and loved it, although of course I didn't understand any of the political stuff. When I grew older I started appreciating the maturity and realism it brings to the story. It's a great touch by Lucas, and I understand why he went with the comic relief in the face of Jar Jar and the gungans - he felt the movie would be unbalanced otherwise. I am not a fan of Jar Jar and the choices he made with him, but this sure doesn't spoil the experience for me. Most of the prequel haters are bandwagon idiots and treat hating on them for the sake of the meme itself. George created Ep I using many elements of IV, comparing it to rhyming in poetry. I think he did a great job, but he really outdid himself in ROTS - it is definitely the darkest and most mature SW has ever been (Empire comes next).
Ewoks we much more of a disaster, since they came at the culmination of the trilogy and looked like teddy bears. The Endor line in ROTJ was handled poorly and it really takes a toll on the finale, especially when you have the parallel Luke vs Vader showdown which is one of the greatest scenes in SW.
THAT is exactly what most fans miss! The politics is the story of how Sideous manipulated his way to the Chancellor's office. It is actually brilliant how meticulously he pulls the strings of both sides through out the trilogy to ultimately bring down the Republic and the Jedi! Also, many fans falsely say that Darth Maul was unimportant. No, precisely the opposite! Maul had the more influence than any other character. The outcome of the Duel of the Fates decides the fate of the REST OF THE SERIES. So much hangs in the balance in this one scene. Let's go through each scenario.
1: If Qui Gon Jinn and Maul both die then Obi Wan gets the job of training Anakin (which ended in disaster).
2: If Obi Wan Dies, and Maul lives, then Qui Gon is left to go 1on 1 with Maul and likely dies. (A 1v1 is what got him killed in the first place). Then Maul may do one of two things: go back to sideous and report his work or go and slaughter Padme and her team therefore causing the Prequel trilogy and Star Wars at large (as we know it) to end before it can begin. In the first case anakin never gets trained and so, he lives a life as a regular citizen of the republic. He would likely become a pilot. He could marry Padme and still have Luke and Leia. In this case, Luke would likely follow his father's footsteps and become a great (or greater pilot). Leia would likely become an ambassador (as she does in the regular timeline) and possibly works with her mother in the senate. In the second case, Star Wars as we know it never happens. It still continues, but looks much different than out timeline. Anakin grows up, again likely as a pilot. However, from there his life goes on completley differently. He may have a long and fruitful career in the Republic Navy. In both cases Maul goes on to play a much bigger role in Sideous's plan. The Republic may still fall, but how it would fall would look foriegn to how it fell in our timeline.
3: If Both Jedi die early on and Maul lives, then everything changes radically. Anakin is not trained and therefore does not become a Jedi and therefore never falls to the dark side and therefore never becomes Darth Vader. Not to mention that the effort to retake Theed would fail, because Maul would slaughter Padme and her team and therefore the Prequel trilogy and Star Wars at large (as we know it) ends before it can begin. This doesn't mean that Star Wars can't continue just that it is totally different. The main difference being that Anakin lives a life completley different to that which he lives in our timeline. Also, Maul goes on to play a much bigger role in Sideous's plan. The Republic may still fall, but how it would fall would look foriegn to how it fell in out timeline. This differs from 2 because unlike in two, here Maul kills the Jedi much sooner than in the original timeline. Therefore he has more time on his hands and almost certainly opts to slaughter the queen and her team.
4: If they all die (however unlikely it is) then, again Anakin never gets trained and therefore does not become a Jedi and thereore never falls to the dark side and therefore never becomes Darth Vader. But, unlike when both jedi die, this time there is still a chance that his life mirrors his life in out timeline. Here, Anakin likely grows up to be a regular pilot for the republic. Also, he could marry Padme and still have Luke and Leia. In this case, Luke would likely follow his father's footsteps and become a great (or greater pilot). Leia would likely become an ambassador (as she does in the regular timeline) and possibly works with her mother in the senate.
5: If Darth Maul dies and Both Jedi live then things change in a different way. Out of all 5 scenarios, this is the best case scenario for the Jedi and the Republic. Also it is the only one where Qui Gon survives. In this case, Qui Gon goes on to teach Anakin in the ways of the force, and Obi Wan is free to better himself as a Jedi. This is significant because first Qui Gon was known as a grey Jedi, meaning he didn't always agree with the standard Jedi teaching. Also, he has experience in training padawans to knighthood. Second, one of the major factors in Anakin's fall was how poor of a teacher Obi Wan was. The only reason why he was teaching Anakin was because he was the chosen one and because it was Qui Gon's dying wish. Obi Wan was not ready and he knew it. That is why Obi Wan was fearful about faling to train Anakin and that is what caused him to be such a bad teacher. With Qui Gon training Anakin Anakin has a proper teacher and father figure in his life. Therefore he has someone to discuss all of his troubles with. Instead of Anakin being insubbordinate and cocky, Qui Gon Properly teaches him dicipline. Instead of Anakin bottleing up his negative thoughts and feelings, he has a father figure to teach him how to deal with these things properly. Therefore, he never is plagued by fear of losing his mother (they might both go and check on her) and even if he loses her, he has a father figure to help him deal with that loss and the emotions that go with it. Also, because of all of this he never acts awkquardly near Padme, and instead is much more mature. He never seeks Sideous's approval because he is getting it from Qui Gon, and so when he has nightmares about Padme dying, he goes to Qui Gon instead of Sideous. Sideous would still try to manipulate Anakin, but Anakin would not be so conflicted and would have more skepticism about what Sideous says. He would bring it to Qui Gon's attention and from there Sideous may very well have to find a different Person to use in his plot becuase Anakin would have more faith and trust in the Jedi and jedi way. All the while Obi Wan becomes a much better defined Jedi. Inthis scenario Anakin will likely live a fruitful jedi career and would fulfill his destiny without destroying the Jedi. In Short with Qui Gon as his master, Anakin is a strong jedi, confident in where he is, confident in the things he believes, is a much more mature man in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, and was taught, and never falls to the dark side. He still marrys Padme, but that would not destroy his ability to be a Jedi becuse he wouldn't have the black and white perspective that he has in our time line. Basically, with this outcome to the Duel of the Fates, everyone wins (except Sideous and the Sith).
With all these fates, this theme and the scene it adorns are appropriately named the Duel of the Fates.
Mr. NAVARRO Sir, please put a band on your glasses so you can REALLY FEEL IT and not stop to push your glasses up!. Such passion!
That conductor...
It felt like he was conducting it as if his life depended on it.
I love it tho (And this is comming from a huge Star Wars fan)
This is Williams' best piece conducted flawlessly by Diego Navarro!
John Williams is just amazing !
Why the heck is this so much more intense? I'm about to start dueling my walls here man!
Bro that brass section is fucking amazing
theres always 1 person who smiles and makes the music seem happy xD
I’m getting goosebumps hearing this. The choir sounds so sinister. All I need is to hear the lightsabers clashing.
Amo como conduce Diego Navarro❤
i was crying while listening to this
Best theme in the entire saga..make me feel so great
This is the best rendition I've ever heard
Without the music there is no atmosphere to movies. John you da the man. You are my generation Mozart.
That conductor was giving everybody some Force!!!
The one thing Phantom Menace will always do better than Force Awakens.
But that's about it.
I always thought that John Williams sort of gave up on Star Wars after Phantom Menace when he saw its poor quality. At least the scores for the other two prequel episodes were much, much less memorable to me, aside from the main themes (Across the Stars and Battle of Heroes). Maybe he didn't believe The Force Awakens could be any better so he didn't make that much of an effort and came up with the otherwise high quality score fitting his name but which felt more generic than expected... Anyways, this is just my very subjective opinion.
Some of John William's greatest Star Wars related work came in the prequels. "Gave up" after TPM? Uh huh.
And TFA is better than TPM? Okie dokie.
Are you serious? Star wars is famous for the original trilogy. Star Wars 4 was voted the No:1 movie soundtrack of all time. And the Imperial March later.
I'm late, But, Revenge of the sith has a better soundtrack for the final fight. Battle of the heroes is as good as it gets nowadays.
I dunno I liked Kylo’s theme
The conductor is loving it.
The Nostalgia, The Power, everything is just perfect.
What a truly professionals. WHAT A MASTERPIECE. So powerful. People are truly amazing!
Que la fuerza los acompañe
A BEAUTIFUL MUSIC PLAYED BY GREAT PROFESSIONALS, IT COULD NO BE LESS THAN AWESOME. CONGRATULATIONS.
This just scared me, so good...(y) Epic
You are on this council, and we grant you the rank of master
This is awesome!!!
Simplemente orgasmeante! 😍
My favorite Williams piece!!! Awesome passion!!
I'm am so happy I found this video.
Just brilliant, orchestra and composer, so much passion
Another masterpiece from Mr Williams
the orchestra is amazing, but the chorus does not seem good ..
Rodrigo Colimodio agreed
Rodrigo Colimodio I actually cringed when the video started. The chorus was SOOOO FLAT
I complained about its choir too, its way too inaccurate, and they sound like a different note at the very start.
Rodrigo Colimodio lol, i think you might have some hearing issues, they are exactly in key
@@brettwilhelm8987 yes they are but I think the problem lies in that there is too much high voices
3:42 timpani mistake, he should played that earlier before the choir sing the "Korah" again
Ikr it's really bugging me
I noticed that too.
Superb! Yes, a Sith lord must have inspired this performance.
The choirs off
I've noticed that in most of these attempts, it's the chorus that really ends up being the weaker half of the song. The tempo for the piece isn't too terribly fast to be honest, it seems the choir fails to reach the right pitch.
There's one guy in the chorus with an amazingly strong voice though, you can really hear it at 3:40
They are on a stage instead of a sound room. And the pitch is exactly how the piece is written. Although the choir was a little overpowering and went a little too heavy on the falsetto, the sound mix overall was pretty decent. No performance is ever going to be exactly the same each time.
MatoiRyuko shouldn’t you be off trying to kill the head of the student council and get your other half of the scissors?
Das Orchester ist der Wahnsinn! Sehr gut
Buenísimo como director Diego navarro, pero me quedo con la dirección que realizo en "the omen", lo mejor!, saludos desde Chile!
The one saving grace of Phantom Menace, John Williams-= GOAT!
John Williams - "Right guys, good news, I've put together this kick-ass track for the new Star Wars movie - the bad news is ... sorry string section but 90 percent of the time you have this one short loop to play, soz!"
fascinated...
Wowowowooo PERFECT
Amazing! I'm quite impressed
impressive.....most IMPRESSIVE.......
Much better tempo than any other performance I've seen on youtube, definitely sounds better faster, more urgent, great job
That was a PHENOMENAL performance!!!!! Chorus was a little funny but thats okay. He had more ferocity than John williams! still excellent! This was a much more ferocious intense version than the original one. No disrespect to the immortal John Williams though. But Diego did a GODLY job of it! Where he lacked in a few places, he more than made up for in others! 5/5!!!
Play this at my funeral and I'm going to resurrect.
Maravilloso 👏👏👏
The orchestra is good but the chorus is terrible
Very out of tune and no blend whatsoever.
awesome!
We played part of the song in the all-region band
Because the duel of both fate
amazing chorus.
This Is Amazing And Cool!!
Wow!!! This is an original piece, with a John Williams template
Amazing!!!!!!
Diego Navarro es un lord stih
2:25 excellent!
would love to hear this in person
❤❤❤❤❤❤
2:49 my favorite part :)
well i guess this is what you would call pure epicness
Duel of fates
Bravo!
ulllltimate powwwwwahhhhhhhhh
At the beginning you can see one of the girls mouthing and not singing. There’s a couple of shots later of her doing the same thing. I wonder if the video editor did it on purpose.
You not now the power of Diego Navarro
Amazing that anyone can play strings that fast
EPIC!!!!!
bumping my head up and down at 3:00
The conducer is just channeling the force. If he could shoot lightning, he would.
Chorus is awful, the composition is perfect
Yup...
James Martin I agree, to many womens voices and not enough mens, the vocal is to high for the music. The womens voices overpower the mens. The piece seems a little fast.
You are so right
Kylez McGee the chorus seemed flat at the beginning too, and throughout the piece
0:27 It's Poe Dameron!
lol there is a woman member of the choir that accompanies this piece she appears at 0.10 seconds id you watch the video closely she appears again and again but she doesn't actually sing!! she just mouths the words
bash the prequels all you want, we got some of the best Starwars soundtracks out of it you cant sleep on!
¡Bravísimo! 👏👏👏
I LOVE IT
👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌
Unlimiteeeeed....POWEEEEER
Who complained about its choir and not its beautiful orchestra?
He plays it a tad faster, but that makes it so much more violent. This is brilliant.
