Hey guys! We've been wanting to cover this one for ages and finally did it. WE LOVE THIS SONG! 😍 Of course nothing can ever come close to Queen's original, but it's amazing how well the song works as an instrumental. We were so happy to work with our friends from the Dover Quartet again on this one...they are so much fun and such incredible players. On another note, we wanted to thank all of you for helping us hit 400,000 subscribers a few days ago! You are the BEST. ❤️ (Also, thank you for all the lovely well wishes for our upcoming baby...we're getting pretty excited!)

Brooklyn Duo beautiful!!!
Brooklyn Duo It came at the right time! Someone I know told me today that she was obsessed in Queen's version of this song. I shared this video to her a few minutes ago after discovering it was that same song - BEAUTIFUL!!
Brooklyn Duo son grandiosos los adoro felicidades
I think this is one of the reasons Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most iconic songs because it can be played in many different ways and it sounds awesome.
I was writing the same thing.
Bohemian rapsody is going to be a Worldwide hymn
@@silverblogsurfer9338 it is not going to; it already is
Except when Kanye West decides to crap all over the song and makes us want to pierce our ears
You can play it in endless possibilities
" *You can do whatever you like with my image, my music, remix it, re-lease it, whatever, just never make it boring* " Freddie Mercury
Caesar Motovlog tell that to Vanilla Ice.
@@noahhapa Vanilla Ice was boring.
@@fazdoll lol well what do you expect from a group naming itself after flavored frozen water.
PerfectlyPurePink PomPomPanties lol
Kanye West be like....come again?
Bohemian rhapsody isn’t just a song it’s an experience
I'm just scrolling through these and replying to the ones I like and.... Wow.
I think this.... I really do think this is the most accurate one.
IMHO it's a true opera composition that happened to be styled in rock.
Not enough goosebumps on my skin to fathom the full depth of the absolute marvel that is Bohemian Rhapsody.
At 78. I am just learning to play the cello. Love the arrangement and the fingering is fantasic
I've been learning, too, on and off for a few years now. I'm close to 21 and I love playing the cello. I'm trying to find songs that I would like to cover with a group and this is one of them. I'm learning Canon in D right now, my first song and first time playing with a group. I'm still a super beginner. Good luck on you endeavors of learning this thing. It is not easy lol. Maybe that's why I love it
I started learning the cello at 74 years young. NO age is too old to learn.
BRAVO! Keep it up, Jerry!
I think you three have just inspired me. Always wanted to try the violin and at 67 time to get off my bass! (Wanted to keep it clean).
I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I CAN HEAR THE CELLO SINGING THE LYRICS
oh darling ME TOOO
oh darling ok I thought I was going crazy... but I did too!
It’s because the cello has the closest timbre to the human voice of all instruments
oh darling I like your name. It makes us all sound British.
All musicians should strive to make their chosen instrument sing.
I got chills this was so pretty
ASHLEY IS BAWSE me too!!!
me three :p seriously though
Literally sending shivers down my spine :P
Can we give appreciate to the piano mom, it's perfect
Freddie would probably cry if he heard this… it’s beautiful
This brought me to tears. Freddie would be proud. Bravo.
YES... GREAT COMMENT...!
Yes, Freddie would be proud! But I think that the all of the people in Queen would be proud as well!
@@sarahchi5164 Lol true I don't like it when people credit only Freddie for their masterpieces
It’s the b****y adverts that bring me to tears … !
"Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy..."
Finally!!! WOOOOOOOO!!
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and seeeeee
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
anyways the wind blows...
Toloa Faraimo doesnt really matter, to me.....
TOOOOOO MEEEEEE Bum Bum Bum BAM BAM, Bum Bum Bum BAM BAM
I like how one of them breathes before every phrase as if they're singing it. I don't know why exactly but that makes it 10 times better. I think it provides energy and livelihood
It’s the dude on the first from the left. He’s doing it so that they can all start at the same time
Most of the time in small groups of string players without a conducted the musicians will breathe before each entrance to signal to the other players
Absolutely incredible! My husband is crying....literally, tears of amazement and joy. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
When i was about 6 years old I asked my dad innocently 'What's the most beautiful song in the world' and he had told me Bohemian Rhapsody. As a 25 year old now I still think he was right to this very day.
He is.
More beautiful than Bohemian Rhapsody is two Bohemian Rhapsodies in row
That is just beautiful.
@@greatrecorder1784 With Innuendo coming third.
@GreatRecorder True.
Whoever says classic and rock can't go together is wrong. Classic and rock are great alone, but together they're the best sound you'll ever hear on earth
idk why this comment reminded me to ratattuille
emilio arrambide what is ratattuille ?
its the pixar movie
emilio arrambide it is ratatouille (pronounced in French it sounds similar)
sorry
Amazing... once I started listening I was thinking how they will play the electric guitar part but when i reached 4:20... omg...you guys rock!!
👍👌👌
Oh god , this cover is so beautiful , that I started to cry with tears of pure joy at one moment ! That's how good they play !
*When the violinist gets the guitar solo part*
Patrick Roca shouldve been a red special tho
He rocked it though.
Because us violinists are the coolest
Cause violins are the coolest...and i could definitely rock that lol
Agreed. This was the first one I found to have done those parts justice..
I was going to say "no words"', but I realize that I actually have many words to say about what you've done here. Having first heard this song when it was released in 1975, we just knew that this composition was destined for greatness. I want to say that Freddie Mercury composed this as a satire of classical opera, but I must say that it's very essence is, in fact, the dynamics and passion of the operatic genre. And we all know that Freddie had a passion for the dramatic. That is why this song has endured as one of the great anthems in the annals of rock history. A little bird told me that this was a major achievement for Brooklyn Duo, together with Dover, one of the world's great young String Quartets. Yet I was still unprepared for what I heard this morning. This arrangement was absolutely perfect and captured, first, the true essence of this song. But what was truly impressive were the musical nuances of every section by every instrument from 6 classical musicians who, individually, are at the top of their game, yet collectively, as an ensemble, are absolutely exquisite in execution. I don't know of anyone who has achieved more in the category of classical-rock crossover than you. Congratulations on such an achievement, and thanks for all that you do.

Ash The Rad Dad *yes*
Searched all bohemian rhapsody versions after watching the movie. This is the best after the original version.
Never before has listening to a cover version of a song (which I first heard on the radio when I was a child) at my computer, at home, actually brought me to tears! What can I say? TOTALLY OVERWHELMING! The talent, the arrangement, the emotion, the precision... I could go on forever. Thank you.
Freddie is smiling with tears in his eyes up there
This is no joke........this very well could be the greatest song ever written.
it definitely is!
Justin, this is no joke: 3 times the song has hit the charts 1 initial release 2 Soundtrack to Waynes World 3 the movie. No other song has done that. Also, cover bands doing this song and others play a note down, their singers can't match the original and last but not least the song itself. It's actually a composition with 5 verses and no chorus. Each verse carries it's own genre, 1st verse Acapella 2nd Ballad 3rd Opera 4th Rock 5th Coda. Can you think of any other song that carries those kinds of credentials?? Me neither. You're welcome. Move aside stairway to heaven, there's a new and old one taking your place. After all, the show must go on...
Carl Gustav Ingenious comment!
And that stupid record producer told Freddie Mercury that Bohemian Rhapsody would never make it because it was too long. Little did he know!!! RIP sweet Freddie-darling. 💖. You are missed.😭
Couldn't agree more. It just is. It is iconic in every possible way a song can be iconic
What an amazing sound.😍😍
I could cry!!😢
rk2711 I did cry!
rk2711 this is art!!! I'm brazillian and I dont have acess to something like that (sorry my bad English)
*ALREADY CRYING*
I never heard the song played like this, you guys! My heart is racing, i'm stunned.
any kind version of this beautiful masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody will be always fascinating to be hear again and again no matter how long its gonna take....hat up lads u guys deserved big applause for this performance!
Best moment 0:00-7:13

Yes, I agree

AGREE COMPLETELY...FROM THE U.S.A.
Ae finalmente br aqui
If I hadn't known the original music, I might have thought that this is a classical and erudite symphony. PERFECT
Senhor Doutor Professor Mestre i think all of the members of queen were classically trained! freddie mercury definitely was. it really shows in their work, doesn’t it?
Thank you for immortalizing Freddie.
The unison of the players in your arrangement made it next level
The Cellist in the center is perfect.
Best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody ever.
Now that's 7 minutes of my life well spent.
and many times over 7 mins
You only watched it once?!
This is awesome!! I loved it!!
Loved it too. it is pure gold. ça te donne la patate, c'est fouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :-)

5:14 - 5:17 u could literally hear oh yeah oh yeah ....the power of music 😍😍😍😍
MY JAW DROPPED AT THE ROCK PART AFTER THE OPERATIC SECTION AT THE END OMG 👏
I'm rendered speechless at how beautiful this is.
lumos Good night
Me too, completely speechless!!
This goes " " " for me! I can't tell you how much I love this piece & everyone you have played. They are all fantastic. I only wish I could play so well. You are really blessed so keep up the good work. Bohemian rhapsody is my very most favorite.
You did it great, Darling!

This is easily the best Queen cover I’ve heard. I just came back to this after listening to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra botch it (it’s here on UA-cam). So many orchestrators seem to iron all the syncopation and feel out of melodies when they adapt pop and rock for classical instruments. I think it makes a difference when the arranger and the musicians clearly know and like the original song, and understand how it should feel, as opposed to just reading dots on a page.
The rock opera part is my favorite. Especially the call and response bit at 3:29

My Heart has been lifted beyond belief. I have listened to every video I can find.
Did anybody else hear that perfect space slide they did in the second verse😍😍😍😍😍😍PERFECTION come on ik you heard it 2:14
I was giving myself way too much credit for noticing it. And then I read your comment! 😂🤦♂️
@@SandeepSarkar5289 no really like I play viola and I could NEVER do that but that's my super power I notice the little things 😊😁🤣
I've never heard anybody else nail it the way you guys did. EVERY note was perfect (and correct!) The last swell (The "Ooh yeah, ooh yeah" part from the original) right before heading into "Nothing really matters..." had my eyes tearing up. Yes, PLEASE do more 'throwback' covers! Thanks so much for this.
I've listened to this group and piece so many uncountable times. I LOVE IT!!

I can’t stop listening to this beautiful music. Soothing yet dramatic, full of emotions. It’s as smooth as silk, seamless. Excellent, exquisite performance!
Somebody give these people a medal!

Actually the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on the whole internet! Absolutely love it!
Agree.

I actually nearly got to tears watching this. Great job!
This is the best thing to happen to me today. Thanks all of you.
Hi! I am a 65 year old lady just starting to learn cello! ( and piano...maybe) and you two are such an inspiration to me. I saw your video of Hallejulah (can't spell) anyway..again such an inspiration to me. The sounds are beautiful, the emotions are real and in this video with the quartet there is an energy and a passion for the music flowing between all of you it is quite beautiful to watch. I look forward to watching more of your videos and keeping inspired and, hopefully, some wonderful day I'll be able to play....Jingle Bells!!! :)

this song deserves to be played like this, its always been a masterpiece, well done for giving it some more justice
Through this... I can see what a genius he (Freddie Mercury) was. He made a song that sounds perfectly with classical instruments. This song is a masterpiece... And I knew it. But you guys are sooo perfect! You made a rare diamond out of it! Usually I don't like all covers. But this is... it sounds just like an opera, it sounds like a real classical music (which I also like very much)! This is amazing! Sending you kisses and hugs!
He knew very well why Freddy named it Rhapsody😉
what a classic!
This is amazing😃
Can't wait to show my whole family!
Aw, thank you!
È per questi 7 minuti che sarà valsa la pena studiare ed esercitarsi tutta una vita. Questo è il "riassunto" della nostra esistenza. Arriva sempre quel momento, anche se spesso è "one shot", che in 30 secondi, un'ora o un giorno, ti regala emozioni che aspettavi da una vita. E in fondo, quello stesso momento, é capace anche di lasciarti l'amaro in bocca, perché non sai se ti capiterà mai più di rivivere certe sensazioni con quella forza dirompente.
B E A U T I F U L!!!
I have fallen in love with this composition. It’s incredible both as rock performance, with all its technology, and as a classical cover. This one both echoes its vocal elements while also opening up its musical complexities. Gonna add it to a BR playlist.
There, are you happy now? You've gone and made a grown man cry....

Me too. I came from canon in d cover.
Nothing like a string ensemble that can play anything like that.
The piano and violin combination gives me your lie in april feels ~~~
if Freddie could hear this I'm sure he would cry
I agree
Who wrote this stringed rendition? Amazing! And played so very very well. I cannot stop listening to it!
Wade Thompson I’m late but I can’t stop either.
True.
Freddie would LOVE this! And all of the different ways people have played it over UA-cam and other platforms, he created a masterpiece of music.
the best bohemian rhapsody cover ever

It was stunning! I think that Mercury himself, his kingdom of heaven, is proud of your performance. Thank you guys so much for giving us such pleasure!
Gorgeous! I love all your work, but this and Take On Me are particular favourites of mine, so please more throw back covers! Can't wait to buy them :-)
So glad you like the throwbacks, Lauren! We love making them.
Like Lauren. Since I have seen Take On Me, its playing here again and again. Such a wonderful sound. I love to hear the "old pop classics" in this classical arrangement and would be very happy, if you two are finding more pieces to cover with a little group of more musicians around. Will You Be There by Michael Jackson is one these songs. Maybe somenthing for you?
Greetings from Germany
Alexander
This one and take on me are my favorites too!
This one and "Take On Me" are SPECTACULAR! There is no better version in my eyes with the same kind of 'arrangement'.
I've been listening to this song for more than 40 years. It's like it's printed in my ears by now. But what you did here is absolutely wonderful. I heard Freddy singing when you were playing. It was perfect! Congratulations to the six of you for bringing classical instruments out of the classical world with such elegance, talent and joyfulness.
For the record, THIS IS THE BEST COVER OF BOHESMIAN RHAPSODY, PLEASE DO MORE OF QUEEN SONGS BROOKLYN DUO!!!
Friends jamming out to an amazing song. Just breathtaking.
That "oh mamma mia, mamma mia" at 4:06 literally is my favourite viola part
Ones of the most amazing renditions of Bohemian Rhapsody! Freddie would be proud!
How great it would be to lie down on the floor there, arms and legs sprawled about, and just get lost in this magic....my gosh, breathtaking!!!!
5년전에 100번은 다시 재생했던 추억이 그리워 다시 왔어요. 구독한줄알았는데 구독버튼누릅니다. 너무 좋아요
I've been waiting for this cover for sooooo long 😭😭😭❤❤ Does not dissapoint at all.
Thank you!
Brooklyn Duo No no, thank you!!
It sounds like it could be played at Versailles Palace in France or Buckingham Palace in England during an elegant Ball or Wedding Reception.
Yeah and people start headbanging at 4.21
This is such an amazing piece of art. Whoever arranged this is a GENIUS
Sorry so late guys, so beautiful. What talent. I love that I can hear every beautiful instrument. No one is drowned out. Exceptional.
4:19 and i just spit out my coffee. Jeeeeeezzzzzz this is amazing
They all look at each other with amazement. It almost reminds me of the Miis in Wii Music when they all nod to each other while playing lol
Sorry I found this just now. Loved Freddie Mercury doing this and you’ve captured his soul in this piece. Much love ❤️ ❤️.
I remember my aunt telling me of an amazing song that she had heard on the radio. It turned out to be Bohemian Rhapsody, and she loved it, despite disliking modern music. It took a long time to convince her that it was not from an opera.
This is the beauty of this piece of music. It is timeless. One commentator wrote it's the greatest piece ever written. Well it is certainly there amongst the greats, and will probably be astonishing people for centuries to come with both it's freshness and its timeless appeal.
Yes, centuries!
This sent shivers down my spine! 😉
Absolutely brilliant - my son often likes to listen to this when we drive or at night ..... keep it up ... awesome
thelegofankid My body was aching the whole time
Damn, 'too late' to use that line
My time to comment in this thread has come.
@3:07 - absolute chills -- SO amazing.
your all so talented props to you all and rip Freddie
One of the best versions I've heard....
Ok... I've listened to a lot of instrumental covers of this song (including my own) and man this is by far the best!
I just came from watching urs and urs is pretty good too. keep up the good work :)
cant beat a full band of musicians, makes me cry
Bohemian Rhapsody is so iconic i can hear the lyrics when they play.
I listen to this on a loop as I write my story for hours! It's absolutely beautiful and I'm so thankful to have found it
Totally awesome etc etc. No words can describe this audiovisual masterpiece
you hit the nail on the head , its more then awesome , WOW thanks
What a phenomal arrangement which certainly made the difference between this becoming just another cover and it being one of the best, perhaps best, instrumental covers of Bohemian Rhapsody that I've ever heard. Equally as important were the wonderfully talented and passionate musicians who gave a voice to the music/arrangement and brought this music to life. Each instrument's voice was clear and it's purpose pure. Absolutely outstanding!
Freddy, we miss you 😰 thank you very much for this version by Brooklyn Duo and this Quartet 🥰🥰🥰
The best song to experience every note that you could ever think of.
