"This is where the operatic section comes in." -- Freddie Mercury
Jymm ah, the operatic section, yeah
Lau you don’t get it do you
I don’t think the movie is accurate
@@GTXTi-db5xu Still, Freddie would definitely say that
XD I love you
Dear Freddie Mercury .. you know what?
"YOU MADE IT, DARLING!"
your comment made me cry ❤️
Dude why did you have to make me cry like that, shit
I actually felt this comment too...right in the feels.
¡Estoy llorando como bebé!
From a song that was originally meant to be a flop. Freddie must be chuffed.
My god, Freddie Mercury really knew his shit. He literally wrote a classical piece then transposed it into a rock masterpiece. Classy, classy guy.
well he was classically trained on the piano... as was Elton John
@@evieaddy9580except not being able to read music would kinda mean he (mercury) wasn't very classically trained
obviously not necessarily an important skill when it comes to a musician's talent, but it definitely comes as a part of classical training, regardless of what you play
That trumpet tho. He had his chance and he took it like a boss. Cuts through everything. Lovely tone.
he’s actually my assistant band teacher! mr. patrick hunninghake! great guy, and he definitely owned that solo
@@corpocrimby Amazing. Give him my regards.
For real tho. He can play
Oh GOD! That was massively impressive.
so true! that was so sexy omg
Finally, UA-cam is starting to get my recommendations right.
The NyanMudkipz SAMEEE
The NyanMudkipz sameeeeee
sameee
you made me laugh sir! get yourself a cookie!
The NyanMudkipz yop happened to me too
I would buy a ticket to watch and hear this live
Me too. I’d love to see this live.
Who wouldnt
Can we appreciate the solo viola? Because dang! She has perfect tone and is very good with dynamics !
A real harmony among the string instruments violin, viola, cello etc... I love this kind of instrumentals played by an orchestra... An extra efforts for music lovers...
Heavenly like sounds.
@@franciscodizon4078 totally agree!!
At 0:34.. & 5:42 ?
@@zawwiUtubeso sorry bro, I can't like it more than once, exquisite spotting
Funny thing is that if you showed this to someone who’s never heard bohemian rhapsody they would probably think this is some kind of classical music from the 1800s
Honestly I'd love to see that. Someone who's just never heard Bohemian Rhapsody hear this, get their thoughts, and then listen to the actual song
Hahahaha,...you are damn right...😄😄😀
@@nahuelma97 the original is very disappointing against this one, I can ensure you he would be disappointed
Is there someone who still didnt know bohemian rhapsody nowadays?
@@nativeafroeurasian what?
I believe that when Queen wrote this, they didn't fully realize that they created a masterpiece.
Yevgeniy Shcherbakov no, i’m pretty sure they had a good idea.
Yevgeniy Shcherbakov Freddie knew, everyone else thought he was going mad
Freddie wrote it.
Roger San Gabriel, and Freddie was part of Queen, as well as sang and worked on it with Queen, so technically Queen wrote the song, though Freddie started working on it before everyone else.
douglas carpenter nah he didn't. The opera section it's Freddie, Brian May and Roger Taylor singing over and over. They had 100+ tapes of them singing the part.
I hope Freddie has Wi-Fi in heaven
Tomas Medina fuck off 😂😂😂
wh-what rtepsutlaf
Cuntaur Stroke He helped with the world's evolution with masterpieces like this, so i guess he must be in heaven
Cuntaur Stroke STFU you troll!
MichaelGaribaldi Not trolling just a realist
When you hear this played by an orchestra, you realize what a brilliant piece of music BH is.
I went to IU(1968-1972). Their music school always had great musicians. BH is becoming a masterpiece and IU ‘s rendition is part of the process. The composers understood music theory and this piece is a rhapsody. Beautiful performance and a nice mixture of young men and women .
Why is this not available on Spotify, it is the best orchestral cover I have ever heard, the arrangement is a masterpeice.
The viola was great, but can we give that trumpet player a medal!
it was good but not perfect.
Vats a viola, is it the most under appreciated string instrument?
He looks like Gordon Ramsey
@@dariolamela2231 no. It was perfect.
@@invaliddylan8766 but fatter
Freddie would be proud 😢😭
Nicolly May definitely😭😭😭😢
Nicolly May my god would he be :)
this sent shivers down my spine, but my body's aching all the time unfortunately because I'm sick AF
Nicolly May yes he would. Brought tears to my eyes. So glad the genius of Freddie and Queen will always live in their music.
Nicolly May 😭😭😭😭😭Yo estoy llorando💔
This interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody, illustrates what a brilliant song writer Freddie Mercury was. The Beethoven of the 20th century. RIP
Another Great artist who left too soon !
@@georgerivera1161 yet will always be with us.
Here in Tanzania 🇹🇿, we also recognize Freddie Mercury. He was born in Zanzibar...
Didn't know he was behind this masterpiece too. Such a legend
Years of expensive music lessons.
Years of mind-numbing practice on your instrument .
Years of tolerating being labeled as a "Band" nerd.
Finally getting to play something really cool in Orchestra Class.
PRICELESS!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am going to put the this on our 3 yr old's wall. F kicking or throwing a ball. Hahhah
And featuring VIOLA! 🎉
I cried a little
Rosalee Garza I cried a lot ;)
650ford ha ha I wish I could play this (I play the viola) :)
Rosalee Garza me too. I started 6 months ago!!
Rosalee Garza Mi penis cried too
Rosalee Garza i teared up
That trumpet solo was beautiful!
agreed
He's actually my band teacher 0-o
+Legend of Flygon27 same
M'lady
I think Dr May would be proud :)
Imagine playing this while showing a montage of Freddie's life.
There would be tears.
Actually, while listening to this, I was in tears. This amazing orchestral performance paired with the memory of Freddie really chokes me up. Thank you, Mr Hersh!
3:01 that trumpet solo *NEVER* gets old. I get chills every time I hear it. 🎵🎶🎺
Why am I sweating from my eyes?
+Christian Torres Damn ninjas cutting onions !
+Christian Torres ... because you're listening with your heart.
Nin-po Me kara ase no Jyutsu!!
+Tsukasawebsite ???
me too 😭😭😭😭
Mozart would be ecstatic hearing over Freddie's masterpiece..
JOHN GOUZOUASSIS Actually, I think Mozart would have a heart attack from hearing how much it's bent outside of the classical style.
Mozart could make it better. Can you imagine Mozart to day?
Freddie: what is this noise?
Freddie: * Looks down and smile *
yeah, it was an amazing performance. boyy, it sounded so splendid up here :)
You call that as noise lol
Or looked up lol
@@freddiemercury2075 Hey, thank you. They couldn't have done it without you. Bless.
FaceApp: "yes"
5:38 is perhaps one of the most heartbreaking moments in contemporary music. He needed no words to say it.
I got goosebumps.
“i sometimes wish i’d never been born at all” THIS 🥹🥹🥹🫠🫠
@@grylltheonion i was getting goosebumps as i read your comment about getting goosebumps
I wish Freddie was still alive to see this
+Ihab Layth Freddie's voice in this video would be the most beautiful thing in the history of music. Or in the history in general.
More of this, please!
+Ihab Layth He´s hearing it allright...somehow, somewhere
+Daniel Alves Yep I agree
+R MCosta Actually I made a mashup with this and the original accapella. :) Sounds awesome! :)
CocaColaLimee share with the world, dude!
I’m not even a Trumpet player but that solo gave me the chills.
I'm a trumpet player and I've tried to play that solo many times, but it's r e a l l y hard
The entire song gave me chills
Close your eyes, listen to this marvellous piece… and imagine the voice of that angel singing the lyrics… ❤️
December 2022. Great, great , this song is a work of art and Frieddie Mercury was a genius. This amazing!
This was real art. Only showcases the genius of the four men of Queen. You brought me to tears. Thank you for this.
Caleb Ricketts Freddy wrote it all by himself.
topneorej not the guitar solo tho
Jargalhurts true
This shows that Freddy was pure genius. And Queen in general. They wrote MUSIC.
topneorej Wasn't it written externally?
I'm pretty sure this what Freddie Murcury was hearing in head.
TheLadyWolf1 )(6
I think so too!
Beautifully...song
also me 😭
Only an extraordinary mind could imagine a such piece of art like this
2:47 gave me chills omg 😭
I think that the best part about full on orchestras playing amazing songs like these are that, despite there not being the actual lyrics, we can all hear the lyrics in our heads. That’s how memorable this song was to us as humans
That solo Viola was fantastic!! Such an underrated instrument.
Violas sound beautiful and better than a violin
Potato Burger It's not about sounding better, it's about sounding different. As a doublebass player, I don't like violins because they're too high-pitched and I prefer the grave sound of the viola more but they're both beautiful
It's all about emulating the vocal range. Viola is like a tenor
I love viola more
suburbanindie not tenor, alto 😉
6:31 he has been waiting his whole life for that very moment....
😂😂😂😂
bahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
LMAO
Petition to make this the Earth Anthem
Agreed! Followed by Sweet Caroline. 😁
Lennon : Hold my Imagine!
Nope
@@adityahendriawan2709 yass that would honestly be better
Practically, Echoes by Pink Floyd should be the Earth Anthem
The Viola sang the melody so beautifully!
2:47 - 3:30 is the best part . gosh what a beautiful song
Abby Stott I like it more from 0:11 but everyone has an opinios
Who the hell could possibly dislike this!? What is wrong with people? This is absolutely beautiful!
It's the young generation my friend
DJ Gamer That's good. Don't change. Stray away from shitty music. Stay true to the real music that pleases the soul.
+DJ Gamer I'm 13 but some of my friends are like what is this shit, good thing I go to a performing arts school so most of the people there know what music actually is
We're bad guys ! That's what we do !
+The french Timelord I see what you did there!
I just love instrumental versions of modern songs and this one was amazing. Viola and trumpet solos were so beautiful.
This is such a beautiful orchestration that viola is so very emotional
What a beautiful song. Oh my goodness. The viola was just unreal. Wonderful job.
Is this a real life?
+Thammarith Likittheerameth Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape for reality...☺
Open your eyes, look up to the skies as see!
Freddie would have loved this ~ such theatre , congratulations all.
true
I didn't think Bohemian Rhapsody could sound any more beautiful than it already was; this version put tears in my eyes.
That trumpet solo brought me to tears, and the musician on the harp! Girl, you ate that up! Definitely well-balanced and I heard everyone so clearly! This does not sound like a School of Music, but a National Symphony!
i want this to my funeral. how indescribable the beauty of this...
If I made my own country, THIS would be the national anthem.
Can I join your country?
No it would be mine
Everybody can sing it. 👍🏻😉
Anyone can join 😇
If your Country and Germany should Play a Football Game against each other. I even would sing your Anthem
This arrangement is the best. I love the dynamics, the smooth scooping of the string section, all of it!
As a trumpet player the solo touched my soul
I think Freddie Mercury really made it for a symphony.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.
More Beta He made it, the álbum is I Night at the Opera
More Beta I don't believe so. It's more that Symphonies can make anything sound 100000000x better
More Beta ikr it sounds like something that Mozart or Bach would make
@@granarchives yea, id think so bro
This is what you hear when you get in heaven
I like this music, but hearing it for all eternity is a hellish prospect
ushoys ???
2:48
ushoys applies to any and every song
With Freddie singing, of course.
This build up from the cello’s is legendary at 5:20😱😱truly amazing
That trumpet gave me chills!
They all were brilliant!
Who else was singing this in their heads?
meeee!
Beelzebub has a devil for a son, Scaramouch can you do the Fandango
I see a little silhouette of a man
James Bond this message is a
Tim Ruskowski me
6:31 my man did the final touch. Thanks dude
Respect!
Got reminded about this while looking up my middle schooler’s band arrangement. Never gets old, glad to have been a part of it!! Thanks Nick, hope you are well!!
Freddie was the best. He must be in heaven smiling at this perfect rendition
5:39 There is something particularly beautiful about the sound of those violins sliding down
Ikr🎶
Yes, goosebumps 👍
There slur was on point supper satisfying
Exactly the same!
that slur is so much harder than it looks 😭😭
WAS IT JUST ME OR DID THAT BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES?
I was surprised that I got a little damp in the eyes. The piece really shines with this treatment.
Just u I guess 😂
I was crying too and I didn't know why 😂
Cried a bit as I sang the last verse
Roger Chess me too...
Orchestra is literally being a part of something bigger than yourself....!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Oh wowwwww the trumpet. And the viola. I’m dying
It is not often that you hear a viola do a solo. This was a great performance of Bohemian Rhapsody by this orchestra. I'm sure Freddie Mercury is smiling from above and enjoyed the performance.
But like any other musician he's probably disappointed that they made the viola so prominent.
Violas are so underappreciated! Lovely instrument.
Do that manic was a viola....always thought they were simply small violins. Beautiful sound. Beautiful piece.
@@Keithustus Idk what is wrong with violas. It is probably one of these things that less intelligent people just keep parroting without actually thinking about it.
@@LadyMngwa It is beautiful. Just like a voice singing.
Mama, I don't wanna cry..
Die*
I had the pleasure of working with Nicholas Hersh with the New Jersey Symphony this past week. He is one of the finest conductors I've ever seen. I considered performing this arrangement with my orchestra last year, as it is splendid.
The trumpet player was heart ripping. Wow !
Pardon the pun but that trumpet blew me away
I legit laughed at this
😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
Took me some time
2:50 why my tears start falling 😭😭 Freddie u need to see this.....
i promise u he saw it from heaven
Yeah..this is very sad 😟
He don't can't to see 😢
Juana Ojeda Robles Yes he can.
Osborn V.L Hriatpuia vc encontrará poucos brasileiros assistindo orquestras no UA-cam. Rssss
nigga shut the hell up and eat a cinnamon roll.
I was in tears
Cheers to the beautiful soul who wrote this amazing music. You Freddie....
This is the best orchestral version of a rock song I have ever heard.
You should have heard the Boston Philharmonic the first recording...
You should have heard the Boston Philharmonic perform it for the first time on a live recording.
Bohemian Rhapsody is great because if you had never heard the original song before, you would think it was an original orchestra song, particularly during the operatic phase of the song.
;)
"this is where the operatic section comes in!"
Jigglypuff bl
Jigglypuff God how i love your comment.
How many Galileo‘s do you want??😂
Incredible
Long live the Viola!!! Splendid performance.
I can hear his voice clearly while listening to this music!
We all do :)
@@steelsaber5431 on
I've never been born at all
It's true.
Me too. Oh, wait, that was me singing outside my headphones 😶 sorry, family
@@steelsaber5431 Indeed
Freddy was just a genius musician... Because I'm really sure Bohemian Rhapsody would never be forgotten
"Forget"
Jay Torres I will never forgotten this song
Forgotten*
@@vijhunofficial4598 hell yeah!
Freddie have left his legacy
whoever decided that this orchestra should do bohemian rhapsody needs a raise
This was in my recommended. Thanks YT I found a masterpiece
That was probably the BEST rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" I have ever heard by an orchestra!! I think it was even in the original key(s) all the way through!
BRAVO everyone!!
apart from they didn't finish it with the gong.
The viola is beautiful and all but can we just give it to THAT TRUMPET PLAYER 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Carly King He makes me proud to play trumpet 🎺
Never thought I'd applaud for a youtube piece
About time to show off the viola. The human voice in an instrument.
4:37 The cello players just went ham, I love it. Much respect lol
When they finally picked a song you enjoy.
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN
Trumpet solo is legendary
Ive listened to this over and over for 3 hours now, crying the whole time, never heard anything so beautiful, its better than the original i think. Its changed my life forever
Freddie looking down:
"...Fabulous darlings"
"This is where the operatic section comes in" - Rami Malek, 2018
I heard that Freddie really said this :v
I love that movie soo much, he played Freddie so remarkably well!!
Rami introduced Freddy to this generation as a legend in a beautiful way
As a cellist, and as a huge Queen fan, I gotta say, Ive never wanted to play a piece more than I do now. The arrangement is so accurate and precise, I love it so much and the viola, the flute, the cornet (or trumpet), the oboe, it was all just beautiful. Every solo was perfect. It was magnificently unison and an amazing piece to cover a band like Queen.
It's extraordinary to see that all of this came out of one man's brain. Not just a man, a legend!
It was a group effort like most of their songs. (But yes, apparently, mostly Freddie, especially as to structure.)
Worth my last 1% of battery 🤷♀️
I am now tempted to listen to this until I have 1% battery... with my phone plugged in.
My phone is at %1 hahah 🤣🤣
Not
5:23 I got chills. So beautiful, Freddie would have loved this
2:48 I got chills. And they didn’t go away from then
Mee too
Watching the violinist bow strokes just made it better
That trumpet solo!!
I think this was like Mexican mariachi musics, but this is Queen, I like the noises of violins, cellos, I would like to play guitar, violin, I am from Brazil, I have a flute here.
i literally stopped doing my work and drowned into this beautiful cover.
Bohemian rhapsody really was a marriage between Classical and Rock n' Roll..
as it is and also is It's a Hard Live or Innuendo or even Somebody to Love.... we cannot forget that Freddie was an opera addcited
I never thought viola sounds that beautiful!! Awesome!
Mozart, Bakh, List, Bethoven, Rakhmaninov, Freddy
*bach
Freddie*
Boom grammar roasted
*Liszt
*Rachmaninoff
Reported for misconduct.
we love this being the top find for 'viola instrument'. twoset brought me here
Wow goosebumps! Literally goosebumps.
That is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, and I know nothing of classical music.
I will now though.
this is why Bohemian Rhapsody is my favourite song. it is so perfectly done that if adapted to be played with an orchestra, it seems a classical piece of art.
The solo viola gave me chills... so amazing and beautiful...
Viry Hope armyy
What's a viola
The trumpet guy understood the assignment
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...Nothing more to say.
