    there's something charming, wonderful, and magical about hearing music outside of the concert hall/theater and listening to musicians play their instruments with great enjoyment in their street clothes. father sitting down with his kids at 1:06 was lovely. thank you to all the musicians for lugging their sometimes heavy instruments out and bringing music to the people.

    1:03 I like how that old man knows that he will be there awhile so he sits down and his little nieces/etc. sits down with him. There is so much meaning in that that I can't even explain. lol

    I'm sure I can speak on behalf of everyone from Nottingham who sat down to watch live television coverage of Torvill and Dean from the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics. Even though the outcome is always the same and is written in history, this music stills sends shivers down my spine as I recall that performance. I am instantly transported back to that exact same feeling, that same electricity and the euphoria of seeing such a performance.
    Thanks to all involved, there is something that really just makes it work well with a crowd and they can't all be associating it with Torvill and Dean !

    • @DalokiMauvais
      @DalokiMauvais 2 роки тому +1

      That's another video that, like this one, I come back and watch frequently. I don't associate the two because each is a masterpiece in its own form. Euphoria is a very good word for my response to each performance, too.

  • @uranrising
    @uranrising 11 років тому +11

    A wonderful way to present classical music: in ordinary clothes, in a very public place, entering and leaving by stealth, seemingly just for the fun of it and playing so well and utterly without pretension.
    I'd like to hear the whole repertoire in this manner lol
    Congrats to the Copenhagen Phil and all such performances.
