Maestro Ennio Morricone 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
@simoneraciti1975 - true. But never, ever - forget about somebody like Edda Dell'Orso too.
I am Danish and watched this sublime performance by the Danish symphony orchestra first time when they approached 100.000 views and then thought to myself that the entire world really should watch it. It makes me so happy that now over 125 million people have watched it and have been able to share the experience. Great composition. performed to perfection, filmed with thought and understanding, great sound job and all done in one take in front of a live audience. This orchestra are financed by the Danish taxpayers and I am thus also happy to have chipped in. The internet have brought us good, bad and ugly stuff. This are good gold! Connecting people in a 5 minute shared experience that transcends borders! May 125 million more see it soon.
Sweden here, this is the best I have ever heard from any symphony orchestra. This was the 15th time I listened to it. Fantastiskt gjort Danmark.
Something's rockin' in Denmark!
The great Ennio Morricone conducted his masterpieces with a financially-strapped orchestra. The brilliant infusion of fewer but diverse instruments resulted in the iconic music that is unmistakably his.
This is one of man's greatest achievements,music
Ennio Morricone RIP thanks for the Excellent music!.. how i mean just HOW do you compose something like this... and all for a movie ...
This was SPECTACULAR! What an amazing video. The camera knew exactly where to point in advance. And all the performances were stellar. Thank you so much, Dave! And thank you for a great reaction, Nick and Lex!
Multiple cameras and post edit
It is DR (Denmarks Radio), they do have Television department too, and they have filmed the orchestra hundred of times since the 50s.
DR started with radio, then came TV, but they still kept the name Danmarks Radio.
DR Symphony Orchestra is taxpayer funded and their purpose is to deliver music to DR's Radio and TV productions, but also to the people and not only the hardcore elite classic audience, but everybody. Sometimes they arrange concerts for kids and teaching them about the trade and instruments. DR also have a Big Band, same professionalism, you can even meet the two orchestras in the same concert. If I remember right, they have 6 or 7 choirs, from small kids (6-8 years) choir up to the big choir we see here in this concert.
The Soprano Christine Nonbo Andersen, is a product of DR's choirs, she started as 12-year-old, advanced through several choirs. Then she went to music conservatory in Copenhagen, after graduation DR hired her as a Soprano in 2017. This concert, you just saw, was her first solo. I believe she did fine.
Tuva Semmingsen is freelance, so you can hire her for a concert. If you need a place to put up your concert, you can rent the concert house too. 1800 seats for spectators or just one of the minor studios, there are 4 of them.
The Orchestra was "born" on the 28th of October 1925!.......... So next year is the 100th birthday and knowing DR (I am a Dane), they won't waste a good celebration. Maybe something big is coming, who knows? Keep an eye on their homepage.
The first time I saw and heard the Soprano sing, the angel in the upper balcony, she caused me to tear up, and get chills. 3 years later, I'm still effected by Christine Nonbo Andersen singing in this video. This was also the first time she had done a movie score, and it catapulted her into world fame afterwards, and now with over 125 Million Views. Incredible!
Thanks for reviewing.
The whole song "ecstasy of gold" always gets me emotional
Isnt she a mezzo soprano?
@@tizioincognito5731 No. Tuva Semmingsen is a mezzo soprano. Christine Nonbo Andersen is a soprano.
And the "Wa Wa" lady is actually a famous, and one of the best at all, Norwegian Mezzosoprano, Tuva Semmingsen.
She is wearing pistolearrings...😂
What it takes to get into an orchestra like this?
EVERYTHING!
Its also why these orchestras often have a lot of international musicians. The best of the best.
Music is truly a wonder when it's done right. Beautiful. Such a gift to humankind. The gift that keeps giving.
Get chills every time I hear/see this.
Whenever I hear Christine sing it makes my eyes water... she has such a lovely voice!
A great song from a great western by one of the greatest film composers ever. Home run, Dave! When I hear this soundtrack, I always can smell, stale, sweat, refried beans, and the buzzing of an annoying fly, that cannot be swatted. Great video of a great performance from great the reactors in the west. I think there’s a professional whistling academy in Tupelo Mississippi. 😂 hope you watch the movie soon. Love to hear your reaction.
Here come three things together: a genius Composer, a terrific orchestra and a great camera work. It's how you spell success.
Great performance. 🖖❤
Most beautiful and perfect song ever done for a movie, even today you hear commercials playing parts of this song all the time.
WOW! Absolutely fantastic performance just amazing 👏👏
What an epic film and music 🎶
Everyone needs to check out their other work, would be great to see Nick and Lex react to them. They do The Godfather, James Bond, Once Upon A Time in America, A Fistful of Dollars and so much more. So much talent in one place, every one has to be perfect or the whole piece is ruined. Amazing
Grande ENNIO 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️👏
Good job Nick and Lex. Knew you would like. If response good then will do a whole marathon of DNSO. The conductor Sarah Hicks is the conductor for the Minnesota Symphony. She gets many worldwide requests for guest conductor. The waa waa singer ,Tuva Semmingson, is now known as such (the waa waa girl), This was soprano Christine Nonbo Andersen's first ever solo. In an interview she stated she gets stopped in streets and airports all time based off this video. Back end of August last year the DNSO was performing this and about 20 other movie musical scores in Copenhagen. Sadly, my passport was expired or would have spent weekend in Denmark.
Unbelievably beautiful, Dave! Probably the best version ever. I remember when Hugo Montenegro had a hit with this in the sixties - but this was better!
Great selection and a great performance. I have several other versions of this score and I like this one a lot.
Great reaction! Since you are into movie scores I can only recommend the BlueRay of this concert to you ( be assured I don't get money from the DNSO😅). The title is The Morricone Duel and they played mainly pieces from his various scores but also a few others. And Tuva Semmingsen does more than just sing "wah wah" during this concert 😉.
As an addition to my above comment which I wrote mid video: Now you mention Tarantino Tuva Semmingsen sings Sonny Bono's "Bang bang, my baby shot me down" from Kill Bill during this concert...
The music goes perfect with the movie. Can you say masterpiece.
Can never go wrong with Ennio Morricone listen to the soundtracks of (1986) The Mission and (2000) Malena just to name a couple from his magnificent discography.
I was 8 in 1966 when it came out. Loved movie and soundtrack
Cool, I was 10. I saw the movie at the drive-in with my parents, It's always been one of my favorite westerns.
I like the way the composer uses the voices as an instrument. It reminds me a bit of the way Mike Oldfield uses voice in many of his compositions.
Morricone didn't have much of a budget for this score so he wrote it around the instruments, and voices, that he could get, and the result was a masterpiece. In fact, the whole movie was on a shoestring budget. I saw an interview of Clint Eastwood discussing his part in the movie. The outfit he wore in the movie, he had to furnish himself. He said he went to a charity store where clothes were donated and created the outfit from clothes he bought there. He bought the cheapest cigars he could find in California, cut them in half, and used them in the movie. The spaghetti westerns created by Sergio Leone were films with an Italian director and composer, financed by Germans, filmed in Spain with an American leading star. Clint spoke no Italian and Sergio spoke no English, and yet they still created stellar films.
Professional Musicians and Professional Singers......it doesn't get any better
The UA-cam Channel of the Danish National Symphony Orchetra is a giant rabit hole you can never leave if you ever start listen there.
Lex was actually in a trance for a while there can’t blame her.absolutely amazing 🇬🇧
This is one of the very best of its kind. I know you both are gonna love it. Watch out for the hangman!
Essential Morrocone films for music, visuals, story, location, and acting..."The Mission" with DeNiro and Jeremy Irons and "Gabriel's Oboe". Also "Cinema Paradiso"...the "Close to the Edge" of Italian love stories...with a climax of climaxes. Best Foreign film that year.
Yes, all terrific scores. Morricone gave us so much until his death three years ago at 91. I cry helplessly at the end of Cinema Paradiso every time I watch it.
@@JKonstage Same here mate. I saw it for probably the tenth time about a month ago on Turner Classic Movies. When father died, "Gabriel's Oboe" came on the radio, and thus became the song played at his funeral. He was a rare and kind gentleman who even looked a bit like Jeremy Irons. Morrocone is king. RIP
@@Dave-hb7lx Let us know what you think!
@@MisterWondrous Watched last night. Very good story, Good to the eyes, artsy. When they blew up the cinema for a parking lot I couldn't help think of Joni Mitchell's similar lyrics in Big Yellow Taxi. "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot"
you might wanna react to another version of 'L'estasi dell'Oro' (Ecstasy of Gold).... it's from an open air live concert in Venice, Italy in 2007..... the composer himself arranged it, conducted it and the solo singer/choir is amazing and my favorite version.... (hint: turn up the volume)
search for: " Ennio Morricone - L'estasi dell'Oro (In Concerto - Venezia 10.11.07) "....
I can feel the dust, the grit, & the sweat. Can’t you just envision the good, the bad and the snake-eyed ugly?! Great selection and reaction. And yes, Tarantino carries the banner … 😽💕
Hi Michelle, Michelle, I think we have the same reaction in the way that that film is created with those eyes Darding back-and-forth those close-up of wrinkly faces beaten by the sun. You can smell the stench and taste the gunpowder in your mouth. Ha ha I had the same feeling.
@@scottanderson8420 Wouldn’t be the first time we reacted the same. Lol. Thanks 😊
RIP maestro Morricone.
His artistry will endure.
Liked as soon as I saw the chill hit her. Shared experience. Good reaction guys.
Some songs by Ennio Morricone that you should listen to.
I can't tell you which one I prefer.
"Rabbia e Tarantella" (used from Tarantino in Inglourious Basterds)
"Chi Mai". (in the version used by the film "Le professionnel")
"Il Mucchio selvaggio" (from the movie My Name is Nobody)
"Ancora Qui" sung by Elisa, also author of the text (used in Tarantino's Django U.)
"The Great Silence - Restless" (From the film "The Great Silence")
"Jill's Theme (From "Once Upon a Time in the West)
"Gabriel's Oboe" (From The Mission)
"Deborah's Theme" (From Once upon a Time in America)
What you called an oboe is really a cor anglais (English horn), a double-reed similar to an oboe but lower pitched.
Like a viola to a violin.
🇨🇦 The DNSO consists of over 75 Choir members and over 100 musicians ! They are amazing ! 🇨🇦
Iconic! Thanks guys.
That's the word, for sure.
I love The Good Bad and the Ugly since it came out. I'm 70 now and I'd definitely sit and watch the movie anytime.
Tenho 60 anos e 2 CDs "piratas" que assisto, pelo menos, 1 vez por ano.
I've watched this several times because there's always something new to observe and it's beautiful and spectacular too. Glad you liked it!
It's a great movie I'm sure you would enjoy it. The movie will help you understand the props.
My wife and I went to Copenhagen last year to attend a performance of this and other pieces. Truly wonderful to hear it live. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you ever get the chance, grab it! You won't regret it.
FINALLY a couple realized yes, the music is good, but at some point the composer had to have all in their head!
Thank you
To fully apreciate this arangement you must watch the last 15 minutes of the movie.
try look at the DANISH NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA list of videos :-)
Talk about putting goose bumps on your goose bumps. The whole performance was amazing. The English Horn, was without a doubt a highlight of the all the instruments in the orchestra, but the balance of the entire orchestra, where you could pick one section out of the whole and yet each section of instruments neither overpowered the sound of the others. An amazing performance, and great reactions by both of you.
This is an amazing video, and performance. Love it.
The 'board' is a percussion instrument called a slapstick, just fyi. Note that the gal singer who whistles is wearing earings that are a gun. Love the English Horn solo!
The earings are a pistol on the right side abd a dagger on the left sude,
The Ecstasy of Gold is in my opinion the greatest combination of music for a movie scene in history, EVER!!!!!! Not the scene you describe BTW. It is the scene where Tuco runs around the graveyard! Still a small mistake to make!
This is spellbinding, layers and layers to explore as this music places you amid the tumble weed .
Great reaction!😊 BTW, that was an English Horn not an oboe.
waa waa lady, so so serious violin player, horn player with whale lungs and angel on balcony.
they also released a video interview with the singers in this. very good information
❤❤❤❤GRANDE ENNIO UN GENIO . TANTI CAPOLAVORI ,COME " MISSION , C' ERA UNA VOLTA IN AMERICA E TANTE ALTRE . GRANDE ITALIANO ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greatest cover by greatest orchestra of greatest Western movie of all time!
You guys rock. Good job.
You're the first reactors I'v seen to display a doors album cover on your set. You know what you're doing, and you do it well.
They are one of the better reactions to this music. Great job.
If any music causes an emotional response it is truly touching you at your core. One does not truly hear the music when watching the movie it is from it is in the background. Once it is moved to the forefront and played by a full orchestra, not the smaller size orchestra Ennio Morricone had, can it be truly enjoyed in all of it's majesty. Causing us to have an emotional response to all parts of it, from the chills one gets to the tears that may fall from our eyes, this is emotional music at it's finest.
A little known fact about Ennio Morricone he also wrote the soundtrack for the movie The Untouchables in 1987 earning him a nomination for the Academy Award for that sound track. He was awarded an honorary Oscar in 2007, but won his first Oscar in 2016 for the movie Hateful Eight for best score.
This was an excellent reaction to a legendary film score! You should check out Morricone's score for the film "Duck, you sucker"! It's a Masterpiece!
amazing soundtrack from the time when movies were still being made 😁
Pretty increadable what happens when many come together as one for a vision.
Lex's comment about how much work goes into these orchestral movie scores is interesting. If you want to see an example of an orchstral group working out it's collective skin, consider cartoon music. In the UK there are a series of orchestral concerts performed over the summer months called "The Proms" and in one The John Wilson Orchestra performed a medley of music from classic Tom & Jerry cartoons and i was utterly open-mouthed at how intricate and complex it was - and that the orchestra carried it off with such style (and enjoyment it seemed). The video can be found on UA-cam.
Your commitment to music is evident you understand what it goes in to see a performance like this your professionalism your dedication to craft is truly amazing. You both should be proud of what you bring as you understand what the truth is in music.
This is so kind of your to say Robert, thank you truly and hope you continue enjoying our videos! :) Love, Lex
RIP Ennio Morricone ! The Genius !
It cant be better
Bernard Herrmann for his 1951 score for THE DAY THE EARTH STOID STILL had a very unusual combination of instruments including electric guitar, electric bass, electric violin, electric cello, 2 theramin, horns, electric keyboard, organs, 2 pianos and timpani etc., but of course it was for a sci-fi mileau rather than a Western so much different approach.
Love his "North by Northwest" score.
Lalo Shifrin also. Before the Halloween marathon I did I had movie scores of horror/sci fi movies planned. DtESS was included.
@@Dave-hb7lxI would have loved that! Were you thinking about including Tubular Bells? The song versions out there are either too long or too short.
@@Dave-hb7lx I never knew that! I’ll have to look for it.
@@JKonstage Also, Freidkin has stated had he known about Tangerine Dream at the time he would have hired them for the score which he did in a later movie (can't remember which one).
This Danish Symphony Orchestra do everything from classical music, Danish folk music, Cartoons and Children tunes, to Sci-fi like Star Wars and Star Trek and all sorts of other film and also PC and original video game music, inviting Eímear Noone, best known for her award-winning work as both a conductor and composer of video game music, that includes 26 film and video game titles, like being the original conductor of Overwatch, Diablo III, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, and not least both a composer and the conductor of World of Warcraft and its expansions.
Just, chills all the way through.
gorgeous!literally gives you goosebumps.
That was a treat for my senses, thank you.
Great rxn. Keep them coming.
If you want to hear another Morricone melody you should listen to Gabriels Oboe played by Henrik Goldschmidt and the Faroe Symphony Orchestra. It is from "The Mission". I think it has some million views on You Tube - . You will love it. Btw. - these musicians has a long education and enters the orchestra after winning a competition with other musicians after a period ..Henrik has played with some of the best orchestras - and has also made his own "Middle East Peace Orchestra" many years ago - and now is the founder of a musicschool for children in Copenhagen.
Great Morricone. Good performance of Danish National Simphony Orchestra. You will probably love also Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden playing Nuovo Cinema Paradiso.
Glad you went out of your comfort zone as it were great reaction to a special performance , there is another one worth looking at it is a drum exibition by the royal marine drum corp this is equally epic as this one
Spectacular orchestra. You will also enjoy the same orchestra playing the theme from The Godfather.
The "oboe" was an English Horn.
And to accepted for a position in a Top Orchestra like this, You need a long Education from a Conservatory! And it is a contest among many and highly motivated appliers from all over the world, to become a member. Especially the former Eastern countries had many brilliant musicians, now working in the west.
So powerful and beautiful!
Great reaction 👍 In regards to Metallica using The Good, The Bad and The Ugly as their opener, they have done that at every single concert since 1983 long before working with Michael Kamen (RIP)
And they are still using it to this day 🤘
Superb!
Precision talent galore.
The 300 million dollar DR Concerthall was build like a massive wooden instrument. That is why the acustics are so good that you can place a singer in the audience and get a perfect sound. This makes me proud to be from Denmark!
SO GLAD to SEE you again Lex!!! Been awhile! I love the Danish National Symphony Orchestra! I was surprised that you didn't notice the "hanging man" there in the concert. Other reactors always give a shocked look, and it's really funny. That was an ENGLISH HORN, not an oboe. They both have a similar sound. Every time I hear
THE ECSTASY OF GOLD" I see the MODELO BEER commercial which has been using that piece in their ads for years now. I was not familiar with it because I hadn't seen "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" BEFORE those Modelo Beer commercials started using "The Ecstasy of Gold."
I think most American reactors react to that, because of how much a part of their history it is. For Europeans, a hanging man is more an iconography of the western and not something we have experience with ourselves.
Great movie. Great composition.
Italian genius Roman pride…..grazie maestro!
The best part of that movie is the union captain at the bridge.
Paraphrasing... drunk soldiers win wars.
That always stuck with me.
Of course he gets drunk and then gets killed leading a charge 😮
The singer is on Danish TV at this very moment, singing music from fantasy movies: Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, with the Denmarks Radio Symphony Orchestra. Probably not watchable outside Denmark, though.
the oboe youre talking about is called an enlish horn, it has a deeper sound than a smaller oboe.
All cultures are not equal, and this is an abject example of why that is so.
"The Ecstacy of Gold" plays in the movie when the character of Tuco is racing through the cemetery, "hearing" the gold calling to him but he doesn't know which grave it buried in.
They are the best without a doubt
I have seen many of your other videos (especially your very first review of Linda Ronstadt, the greatest female vocalists of all time), and you two are so much fun. As for this one, I am amazed that you have bot seen the movie, or did I misunderstand? I think it is one of the top 5 Westerns of all time, with such a marvelous cast. One that competes with this movie is The Magnificent Seven, again with Eli Wallach, and also Yul Brenner, and Steve McQueen - another classic western and a great music theme to go with it, which has been used many times since. With this music by the Danish Orchestra, I had come across it over a year ago, and it IS outstanding, especially in recreating the sound from the movie, and with a full orchestra no less.
I have put together what I call a music file, that links to over 300 online videos that play music. One section of this file is a collection of just basically great, clear music, where the video is not of the performers, but of audio equipment, the cover of an album, etc. The second section is where the video is just as important as the audio, as is the case with the piece you played here. My file is an MS Word file, with a Table of Contents (TOC) and an index of those I have captured into this file, with the name of the video website, the performer/orchestra.group name, all in music type order. I list links that cover maybe 15 different types of music, with Classical music being the most. This file is available to anyone who would like it! Great video on your part!
love the reaction check out LP she can whistle keep smiling
The Wawa lady is Tuva Semmingsen a highly trained opera singer, you should look up The Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the have there own side here on UA-cam
I remember 1st time hearing Procal Harem album live with The London Symphony. I shuttered my bedroom just to listen.
And don’t forget the sound technicians that recorded this. And the people that filmed it! Lots of people involved!
The soloist at 8:05 is playing an english horn. Like the oboe, it is a double reed instrument. English horn is a little longer; mouthpiece is bent at an angle whereas the oboe mouthpiece is straight.
Thank you!!
One of the Greatest Westerns of all time, Filmed in Spain in (1966) It is called a Spaghetti Western because of the Italian producers. It has an Amazing cast of characters.
this is why the internet was invented...much love my Rocky Mtn Friends
RIP Ennio Morricone ❤️
the guy with the"klarinette"? at the beginning of the 2nd part,must have a lung of a horse.seen this like 20 times but he still impresses me with his endurance.
Oboe.
I would highly recommend the next reaction video to feature the performance of "Warriors - League of Legends" by Tuva Semmingsen and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live). This remarkable rendition offers a truly captivating experience. The fusion of music and orchestration in this performance is nothing short of extraordinary. It would be a wonderful subject for a reaction video, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the depth and artistry of this live orchestral performance.
I was an 8 years old kid in Montreal in the 80's and I've listened to this album so many times but couldn't understand all the mechanics, timing of this whole masterpiece. The movie was so boring to me because of It's lenght between shots and scenes. I was 8 so please make this faster my mind was asking but @ that time, I didn't know I was much more of a listener than a viewer and it never stopped. More than 30 years in DJing proves it all that I still am a listener more than a viewer. I've tried our high school harmony in the 90's but my teacher forced me to play the french horn but It wasn't meant for me at al. My dad's been in the marching band in the army in 67 who played percussion so I wanted the drum and the teacher always refused. I've figured in the harmony but not playing that much but I knew how to read music and I understand all the efforts and everyone's implication. This is why if you go back to 08:32, you see the eye contact between the oboe player and Mrs Andersen to make sure she's there and ready. Simple eye contact, great great great masterpiece.
Every time I see someone react to this, which is often, I tell them that the soundtracks to the other two movies in the series, "A Fistful of Dollars," and "For a Few Dollars More" have also been done by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and are every bit as good. I've been making that comment for years. To the present moment, no reactor has ever taken me up on it.
It's the DR1 (and National) Symphony Orchestra, which is the Danish equivalent to the English BBC1 Symphony Orchestra, so their mission is not to push or provide a special brand in "taste" of music, but all about providing top quality public service to make all who watch and listen, and not least children and younger people get a taste for this kind of symphony orchestra music, also for educational purpose and to "nurture" their development.
