Contemporary music, like pop and rock; is limited to a few instruments, typically 4-5. When the best rock songs are put in the hands of a full size symphony orchestra they are elevated to heaven. Keep leaking! :)
This was our song for our WEDDING in JUNE/1978 when we were married....I will love it FOREVER. It is still our favorite and YES we are still in love, loving life and married for 43 yrs+++ THANK YOU so much for the beautiful rendition.....the best we have ever heard!!!!
Well Deb, with a freame of mind like yours...I love you too. I wish you and him 43+ more years of the same happiness. He is blessed to have a spouse that still loves him and Zeppelin. You have a sister? 😉✌
Praise God for strong marriages. I recently lost my wife after 32 years and 25 days following several years of a progressive, incurable illness. Rejoice in your blessing.
I mean, not really. It's a pretty song, but the orchestral performance kind of underscores how repetitive it is. Mozart probably would have written more than the same four chords for five minutes with a different four chords for the bridge. This is more like when Salieri wrote that little fanfare the first time Mozart was introduced to the king. And then a maestro came in, and stunned everyone in the room by rearranging it and turning it around. Stairway is a funny little tune, but it yielded some good things.
@@nmappraiser9926 the orchestra is doing more enphasis on the vocal line than the actual guitar part, however the song works under the rules of modern music structures, even breaking a little bit of it, it has different changes in contrast to most songs of modern times, the first verses use 6 chords with a change every end of the , the first change that im not sure it can be considered a bridge, maybe a second type of verse, uses another 4 chords with a variation each lap, switching between C, D, F and A, to C, G and D, then the chorus, another progresion of 3 chords and then you have the bridge to the solo and the solo which are completely different(of course i just simplified the chords, they're not actual simple major chords), id say for a recent kinda comercial song, its pretty "classical" but i think it may resemble a little bit more to a beethoven melody than mozart
Yes first thing came to me. Pagey’s genius. Jimmy famously has said there’s no genius’ in Rock n roll. Only the classical era were genius. He’s too humble. He is a genius. Search the making of stairway by Jimmy
I am 73 and also retired. Being also widow I entirely agree with you. Music, reading and, of course, my beloved little dog help me and bring pure joy in my life during this hard Covid time.
anyone else old enough to remember hearing Stairway on the radio when it was released? I don't know anyone at that time that could believe what they were hearing. Yes, eventually it was over-played, but hearing this version brings it new life.
Waaay back in the late 60s or early 70s, Arthur Fiedler was the first conductor to bring rock music and classical together. He had concerts every Wednesday night on the Esplanade on the Charles River in Boston. My (then) fiancé and I went every week. Fiedler also was the one to combine the fireworks with July 4th celebration. I was fortunate enough to be at his concert on the Esplanade on July 4th, 1976 for the 200th anniversary of US Independence. It was magnificent!
between this and hearts version this song just gets better by the year. When real musicians and singers bring an old classic back to the forefront. Timeless song.
@@jamesthiele3866with Ann Wilson of Heart absolutely nailing Robert Plant’s lead vocal, then total goosebumps as the curtain goes up to a 100 piece revivalist choir as it build and builds. Just incredible! 🕺🕺🕺
Without doubt the best version of this classic rock song, played to perfection without any electronic interruptions, great orchestra, take the rock out of it and it becomes a beautiful piece of classical music, Credits go the the composer Jimmy Page, the great arrangement by the conductor and the great orchestra 👍
Yes i came back to hear one of my favorite teenage songs that was done beautifully with the HARP!!! 😳😀 I must say, I love it, every single part was done so magically well, i could not help the two tears fall at the end. Wow
I looked into the sky. Whenever people cried on earth, clouds gathered and rain fell. Every time children on earth laughed, the sun shone with rays of joy. Every time someone gave comfort to a fellow human being, summer winds swept across the fields. Every time someone forgave their fellow man, the sparrows sang songs about the liberation of the heart. And the stars shone brightly, though it was day. And the rainbow on the horizon testified to peace on earth.
@@Marnigato This one? ua-cam.com/video/V8RTGhe4nzU/v-deo.html Seriously? No, I think Jimmy Page stole it from this little number ua-cam.com/video/JJLyZCSVAA0/v-deo.html. The similarity is even more overwhelming and apparently none of your kind of audience never heard of it.
I’m usually very critical of Zeppelin “redos” because they’re just not arranged properly. I don’t “feel” them the same way as the original, or they sound & feel like “Muzak” which is nothing but an insult to the “enth” degree of Page/Plant’s talents! Not THIS! It’s EXTREMELY WELL DONE! I feel both “The Master” & Percy would be pleased.
Jimmy did an interview on the BBC about the song where he emphasized that they wrote the song such that the arranger was presented with multiple choices as the song developed. This was one of the reasons why Robert frequently got upset because a band did not understand. It is also the reason why Ann and Nancy got it spot on and Robert had moist eyes...!
@@sirmartinfrobisherBugger me, stop with the bullshit. Percy was teary when Jason started playing in his Dads bowler hat, Bonzo was his best mate. It wasn't Ann and Nancy. It was a great cover, but just a cover.
This is the favorite song of my 89-year-old English teacher, Elaine Cates. Among other things, she was a NASCAR driver in her youth. She is an amazing individual and one of the best teachers I've ever had.
WOW! This brings back one of the finest moments in my memory book, when I was slightly younger (I’m almost 80 now) but, I’m still hoping to be able to climb the stairway to heaven, if I ever expire!
Firgive yoursrlf and forgive all others. I will see you there. Peace and Blessings and thank you for paving the way for the past 80 years. We salute you.
Beethoven and Mozart would love it. The baseline to all modern music is still their standards. They would love the growth and exploration of the art that helped form.
It's funny, rock and metal was once dismissed as noise pollution and a method of corrupting the masses, but here's a great song of those genres being played on a live orchestra. Funny how things turn out, huh?
I am 62 and goose pimples are a sure sign. I can't believe how late it is--I started the day with my annual Zeppathon and hours later I am here. I feel like a truly blessed generation that first heard this in a smokey basement and now get to hear any sort of music for free! And free tutorials--unbelievable. Cheers, from Toronto
This was very beautiful, thank you to all the performers and to all musicians who practice their crafts to share with the world. and to the writers and conductors of the music, thank you :)
I can't believe how noisy people are today at Symphony halls. People had self control back in the 60's and 70's I'm surprised I didn't hear a ringtone. I have heard a ringtone at my last 3 concerts. This is beautiful.
My mom majored in harp in college and played professionally in various orchestras. Played this for her. She started "playing" out the fingerwork as if she was sitting at her harp. The gal's harp in this performance bears a striking resemblance to my mom's former Lionn & Healy (sp?).
With an orchestra playing sans lyrics you realize how great a musical piece this truly is, and from a old rock band, jimmy Page was a master.
Was there not controversy as to who wrote the original score?

Praise God for strong marriages.

Nice i imagine
A lovely group of young musicians playing a great arrangement. Makes me want to climb the stairway to see my late wife again.

We all see our passes loved ones again ❤️
Pray you may meet her in a dream
im sorry mate. All the best to you. stay strong

This beautiful performance is a testament to the musical genius of Jimmy Page. Page is like a 20th Century Mozart.

At 71, and having had two loved ones die this year, I too am in the autumn of my life. This music lightens my heart.
From the USA.....my GOD are you all great. Fantastic winds, brass, strings, percussion, etc....and direction.
Salute to the Conductor who made the classical arrangement .. he kept the soul of the song ..
Proof that real music is timeless!
absolute gold
brilliant
Proof that real music can be played with any instrument
Absolutely; not a boombox in sight
Gives me a sense of the real magic of this song.

Yeah, it was an epiphany......wow!
What can I say.......fabulous is insufficient praise for this masterpiece!
1971. I had just gotten married. Had a 1967 Camaro, and played this on my Eight Track. Remember those?
Now after all these years it is still voted the best song year after year in aradio sponsored poll

Davnega leta 1959/60 sem hodil na Gimnazijo v Kranju. Takrat orkestra še ni bilo ? Čestitke vsem!
This rendition is absolutely beautiful.
Without a doubt, the greatest arrangement of this immortal classic I've ever heard. Proud of u all.

Love how any rock/metal song sounds so amazing and sometimes even really peaceful like this one when played by an orchestra
A famous artist once said that classical music and rock music are not that far apart
Bisogna dire grazie all"esplosione musicale giovanile degli anni 70 che ci allietato la vita poi il quasi buio ma la musica sopravvive eterna.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing

Music is timeless. It never gets Old.
And the people who know to enjoy good music never get old.
CL good?
all talent at its best
Pure symphonic. No guitars. Plus a superb technical video recording. Professional orchestra can learn how to do it....
I would give anything to see this performance again. Masterpiece! It is an Out-of-this world performance!
No matter how crappy a day I’m having, I can listen to this and it always puts a smile on my face.
Beethoven and Mozart would love it. The baseline to all modern music is still their standards. They would love the growth and exploration of the art that helped form.
I think you're entirely right.
Wait until they meet the edm 'artists'
Mozart could listen it and probably approve it, but i'm not sure about beethoven...
Although Beethoven was on the cutting edge of the music world in his day and he changed the sound of music. I believe they would both approve.
Absolutely they do
I have been watching this for years.....😊
An amazing presentation for a relaxing Sunday morning!
Amazing arrangement, how did we ever survive without UA-cam before.

All the classically trained rock bands are getting their well deserved tribute.
A lot of the best metal has it's roots in classical music.
I don't think anyone ever called stairway to heaven NOISE POLLUTION lol
Well, should draw a line between rock and metal
Never realized how beautiful the melody was until now. An iconic rock song!
just a great orchestra from Slovenia
Thank you! I was wondering where they were from.

This song is well suited to an orchestral arrangement. The changes in tempo and key fit in well.
so true
Led Zepplin music has clear classical form and structure.
Marc, which is why they're one of the only handful of bands from back then still worth listening to now.
Great song. Led Zeppelin should cover this!

jimmy page is one of the greatest musicians ever
greatest guitarists, John Paul Jones was a overall better musician.
No arguments here but this song was pinned by Robert Plant
They all were, thats why they were so special
Kudos to John Bonham, Robert plant and Jimmy Page, great songwriters, this is a beautiful rendition, does them proud.
