Tchaikovsky : Overture 1812 : A spectacular MOVIE - Ashkenazy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- This movie is compiled from different Napoleon films. I've added some background noises as Muskets, Cannons and shouting soldiers to get an exhilarating effect. For your pleasure....
Leo Tolstoy describes the battle of Borodino in great detail in War and Peace. It is amazing how Tchaikovsky used the czarist imperial anthem, the Marseillaise, and the traditional anthems of the Russian Orthodox church to create a masterpiece.
Ikr
You say it like the resaltable.... shit on you
Only Master Tchaikovsky
It’s amazing how Tchaikovsky was able to incorporate a whole story in 1 piece of beautiful
.
I couldn't agree more about that dude
I've truly believed that Tchaikovsky would have gave Beethoven Mozart and Bach a run for their money
Ah... Cannons, my favourite musical instrument
Bet you can't name THREE classical pieces which incorporate actual cannonfire. Everyone can name one. Most classical buffs can name two. But what's the THIRD...?
@@CannonfireVideo 1812, Wellington's Victory and I think Tosca does at some point. I saw a recent production of 'War and Peace' by Prokofiev where they used it a lot, but I don't think it's in the original score. Also a slightly more obscure piece, but 'In Flanders fields' by Willy Ostijn which we did recently at my Uni calls for cannons at some point as well I think.
If there are more than three, then you have the better of me, Caleb. However, in the operatic productions you mention, I would label the cannonfire as sound effects, as opposed to notated parts of the musical score. But I admit that the distinction is subtle and perhaps wrongheaded.
The third "cannon-friendly" piece to which I referred is Lumbye's "Battle of Idstedt," which you can probably find elsewhere on UA-cam.
Let's be clear: This piece is TERRIBLE. I guess the trumpet calls toward the beginning are all right, and the bouncy main theme is sort of hummable, but there's little else to recommend it. Many classical music buffs scoff at "1812" and "Wellington's Victory," but you have no idea how good those works are until you've heard Lumbye.
And he really makes you wait for the cannons. When they finally show up, the overall effect is...meh.
@@CannonfireVideo Interesting, I'll have a look at it
@@CannonfireVideo There's another piece which could be labeled "cannon- and musket-friendly"- with a modicum of benevolence, mind you - "The Battle of Leipzig" by Franz Berwald: ua-cam.com/video/OYzrtWFsmAc/v-deo.html
Why do tears stream from my eyes whenever I hear this?
Because its about survival of russia against napoleon army
If unconditional victory after staggering losses and near inhuman struggle, punctuated by the manic pealing of half-ton bronze and iron bells from every cathedral in the nation, doesn't reduce you to sobbing, you aren't human.
@@manthasagittarius1 I only feel the power when he showed that shot of Napoleon crowning himself at the climax of the beginning chant. The singing was the calm before the storm. As Napoleon crowned himself
A storm was coming to Russia. As it shows Napoleon decisively defeating Russia at Austerlitz and the rest shows him conquering Europe until he gets to Russia.
To put it simply, because you are a human.
@@manthasagittarius1 guess im a robot then
The uniforms of the Napoleonic age were awesome.
My favorite Tchaikovsky Piece
I think its influenced by your work here Beethoven.
Shut up Ludwig you are deaf
@@AbrahamLincoln4 dude I am seeing you everywhere .
@Sungindra Setiawan He read the score and imagined it in his mind... ;-)
@@AbrahamLincoln4 No, he was mostly inspired by mozart, who he called "the christs of music"
I love this piece, Tchaikosvky was a genius
If only modern musicians would take this as an example
Jorge Sánchez, many try to but are quashed/repressed/suppressed unless 'chosen'.
It was piece instructed by the Tsar, you know commissioned Russian Propaganda celebrating the victory in the war. He did not liked it in life I have read somewhere in You Tube , but is still a master piece by any standards.
Well, it's a fact that Tschaikovsky was quoted saying (and these are his precise words, "Mozart is the Christ of Music.")
Better than Hans Zimmer for sure.
I really wonder if any Russian veterans from the fight against Napoleon were still alive in 1882 in the premiere of this classical piece in Moscow and were able to hear this ... I can't imagine how they might have felt, if any of them managed that ...
Maybe some of them were.
NEEEEERD
But actually, nice thought though
assuming they were 20 in 1812 they were probably 90 by 1882
I have a feeling that life expectancy in 19th century Russia wasn’t that long
The youngest of the soldiers, if they somehow managed to make it into their 90s in 19th century Russia, might have, if they had access to a phonograph and a copy of the piece. Incredibly unlikely.
No Man of Destiny can be the master of Destiny. A lesson for us all. Tchaikovsky's music is truly inspired.
Geniala muzica.Lupta dintre bine si rau. Razboi si pace.Napoleon descalificat de istorie
Un orgoliu imperial care a decimat armata Frantei
Caikovski sublim.Slava lui vesnica!
The most beautiful overture !!!! Love you Tchaikovsky !!!!!!!
History, set to music. SUCH music. My favourite piece since i first heard it a college, in 1958.
Nice memory. My mother had a Best Of Tchaikovsky LP album when I was a child in the 60's. I played this over and over, mainly because it had cannons and my imagination ran wild. Had no clue who Napoleon was. She was into big band music as well. Does anyone even know what that is anymore? Apologies for blabbing.
First Time I Heard it was in 1965 Also in a school concert. I was 12 years old, Sixth grade
Tchaikovsky hated the 1812 but I'm sure that he would have approved. He could have been a great film score composer! Thanks for a great achievement.
This is . . . this is . . . this is MAGNIFICENT!!!
Hommage, regret et tristesse pour TOUS les morts de TOUTES les guerres et dans ce cas de la sanglante campagne de 1812! Merci! Et bravo à Tchaikovski.
Yves-Noël-Marie Gonnet
En parlant des combattants, c’était William Wallace qui a dit que tout homme meurt, mais très peu parmi eux arrive en effet à vivre. Les soldats qui tombent en guerre ont fait chacun le choix de s’engager dans la violence, de tuer et d’être tué. Ce sont les civiles innocentes qui méritent notre pitié, pas les soldats qui ont déclenché sur les têtes de ces innocents l’horreur de la guerre.
Super and especially ironical. From cannon balls, ending with fireworks celebrating that Russia is still alive. Bravo.
Best musical composition of all time. He was a genius
Well, you clearly have a talent. This is not just put together, it is put together very intelligently. You have coordinated the music and scenes in proper context. Congratulations. Now, if only so-called documentary makers could be so precise...
THX!
Amen!!!
Espetacular! Fascinante! Tchaicovsky irreverente, brilhante, estupendo!
¡¡¡Nunca vi algo tan hermosooo!! Que buena produccion ...sencillamente me puse a derramar la'grimas...es que soy mu'sico
One time I was listening to this song and I thought to myself,"someone should make a movie like video for the song". So when I saw this I was like,"yes!!!!!"
It's amazing. Tchaikovsky did not love this commissioned work. He composed it without much passion. He only delivered the ordered work.
However we got this masterpiece, I'm glad we did. Too bad he couldn't appreciate his own overture like we all do.
thank you thank you, I feel breathless, loved the 1812 for years but with the battle scenes, and the churches and singing
Thanks. Good Work & Timeless Classic.♥️🏛️
Well Done! I've been to Borodino & can't imagine the scale of the battle & lives that were lost... What a brilliant video & music. Well Done. Thank You.
Spectacular! An amazing effort and much appreciated
Extraordinario video con una de las obras mas espectaculares de la música. La interpretación resulta además excepcional al tener participación del coro lo cual no es usual. Felicitaciones.
Excelente trabalho!!!! Sugeriria no final acrescentar cenas de contra-ataque dos cossacos, com cavalaria, para dar mais emoção. Maravilhoso vídeo!!! Parabéns!!!! Bravo!!!
Qual será o nome desse filme ?
@@dioguera3602 Usaram vários filmes pra fazer esse vídeo, mas eu consegui reconhecer alguns:
Waterloo (1970)
Napoleão (2002) (Uma minissérie, na verdade)
Guerra e Paz (1967)
Provavelmente há outros, mas eu só reconheci esses.
Que bonita versión de esta obra tan grandiosa para mí que música más hermosa gracias por poderla ver
The Chorus in the beginning sinning GOD SAVE THE CZAR is so BEAUTIFUL 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🌹!
It's Spaisi Gospodi, a Russian orthodox hymn. Not God Save The Czar.
The male-dominated chorus near the end is triumphantly singing "God Save the Czar." (I think it is the Russian Army, finally victorious.) At the beginning, the plaintive chorus of women and children is singing "God Preserve Thy People," a Russian Orthodox hymn, and this is re-sung victoriously near the end, just before "God Save the Czar." The words are below:
Mighty Lord, preserve us from jeopardy.
Take Thee now our faith and loud crying in penitence.
Grant victory o'er our treacherous and cruel enemies
And to our land bring peace.
O mighty Lord hear our lowly prayer,
And by Thy shining holy light.
Grant us, O Lord, peace again.
O mighty Lord hear our prayer
and save our people
Forever, forever!
A companion UA-cam video to this one says that, in between, when things are looking really bad for the Russians, the chorus sings another hymn (or folk song?), "At the Gate, at My Gate." But I can't find that in other sources.
@@davidmackie3497 That's the Morman lyrix, taken from when MoTab Choir sung the opening hymn. It's not a straight translation of the actual lyrix because the actual lyrix make clear that it's the people of Russia. The mormans didn't want that (you'll notice they're silent after the first couple minutes, with their doctored lyrix).
@@WillCMay Thanks. Do you know the actual lyrics (in English)?
@@davidmackie3497
"Lord, Save your people
And bless your inheritance;
Give victory to our Orthodox Emperor Nicholas Pavlovich
Over adversaries,
And your protecting cross
To your habitation."
You can see why MoTab didn't want to use Russian Orthadox lyrix, especially when their recording is from an event where the majority of the people going probably think it's about the US/British War of 1812 rather than Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia. But also Russia basically doesn't exist in their theology so they changed it to fit their theology. While musically speaking their recording is fantastic it does a huge disservice to people actually knowing the history behing the piece. I don't think Tchaikovsky would care being that he hated 1812 and saw it as overly bombastic and not real art, just something he had to write to pay the bills.
Fantastic performance:. orchestra, chorus, cannons and bells. As it should be. One of my favourite musical works and, in my opinion, one of the best of Pëtr Chaikoffskyi!
Tchaikovsky, or properly ШАИКОВСКИ
For some ghostly-riveting moment, the last few minutes of the overture starting from the tolling of the bells, I was shedding tears and some odd ghostly reason when i was looking at the Napoleonic battle scene, it was as if I was in that battle field. It's as if part of my heritage was back there; my great great grandfather in early 18th century Europe in battle uniform. I"m part French and this has happen to me during my last several years of my life listening to this wonderful masterpiece. And now seeing this movie with the music background, it is the most riveting and I truly enjoy listening to this in a spiritual way.
Perhaps ypu were there in a previous incarnation? I'm sure that's very possible.
@@ianthomas3503 What does that make me?
Wise up!
Awesome, in the real sense of the word, I have goose bumps, and I feel high., and just wonderful. Excellent.
Espetacular e de indescritível realismo a obra prima de Tchaikovsky.Parabéns jm
genialne i ponadczasowe
Bravo pour cette oeuvre musicale, merci maestro !
Very atmospheric video to accompany such a fabulous version of this masterpiece, thank you
Excelente dramatización
Uma das mais fantásticas versões da magistral obra de Tchaikovsky!! 👏👏👏👏
Master of masters.... This piece of music is ahead of its time
I enjoyed your very clever compilation, and the magnificent performance of the 1812. Thank you.
Nossa ! Fiquei extasiada com tamanha interpretação dessa overture... Demais! Lindíssimo!
Of course, the music was magnificent and perfect. The orchestra also gave a flawless beautiful execution. The choir was particularly impressive, with an excellent balance of the four parts, very rare among choirs. The choir added extremely to the intense enjoyment of the whole piece.
My favorite video and among the top 3 Tchaikovsky overtures
Magnifico montaje de escenas del cine clasico...... desde 10:00 sincronizacion perfecta ....Bravo!!!!
For our pleasure really. You are a genius, and since now you have a new fan. BRAVO!!!
My favourite soundtrack when I read "War and Peace" by Tolstoy.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!
Bits of the visuals are from Waterloo !!
Good to hear the full choral version.
I fell in love with this piece thanks to Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.
14:55 mostly everyone's favorite part!
Yeah sure but 7:08 and 8:48 are divine
прикольно - большая работа- монтаж- респект автору.
This is an ambitious idea and well carried out. Big congrats!
"The ideas that underpin our modern world-meritocracy, equality before the law, property rights, religious toleration, modern secular education, sound finances, and so on-were championed, consolidated, codified and geographically extended by Napoleon. To them he added a rational and efficient local administration, an end to rural banditry, the encouragement of science and the arts, the abolition of feudalism and the greatest codification of laws since the fall of the Roman Empire."
-Andrew Roberts, British historian.
He was of course a man of his times, and flawed, and tried to create his own dynasty - what other examples were there at that time? But the French revolution and what followed from it brought us to today. France still reveres him.
Yes, Hitler also wrote many "glorious" laws that are still in force today, e.g. Divorce and many family laws.... plus social laws and environmental protection. The two were entirely of the same stock and equivalent in every respect, especially in their hate of everything Catholic, with Napoleon in the long run even more harmful as he is still glorified by some today. And in both cases we can thank teh Russians to have stopped them to realize their "grand" plans.
And of course the fact we already had those things in the UK and the Commonwealth has them starting with the Magna Carta and including equality before the law centruies before Napoleon and the Napoleonic Code has never been applied in the UK applied and its former colonies including the USA makes a complete nonsense of your quote. The UK had sound finances for more than 100 years before Napoleon and ended banditry centuries before Napoleon and had experienced both the Agrarian Revolution and the start of the Industrial Revolution based upon science and especially Stream Power that resulted in the railways in the UK has nothing to do with Napoleon. Indeed the UK's sound finances has everything to do with the defeat of Napoleon the limitation of Napoleon and his Napoleonic code to countries he conquered - It was the sound finances of the UK that funded the armies of the coalitions against napoleon and arming and uniforming both the rebuilt Portuguese after the UK under Wellington Liberated Portugal from Napoleon and Prussian armies after Napoleons northern Prussian corps rebelled against Napoleon and of course armed and funded the Spanish armed and Guerillas.
Napoleon, on balance, caused far more suffering. And he invented none of those things. According to Nostradamus he, along with Hitler, is one of 3 Antichrists. We have yet to see #3.
Very clever... most enjoyable
/ From Brasil, gretings
That is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.
What a splendid movie to watch.
The first part is so beautiful! The second less. I always wonder why people has to fight. Let's pray for peace! By the way I love the music.
I also love this music.
Tchaikovsky’s my favorite composer.
I think this is the best I've ever heard
Una hermosisima composición , estoy extasiado.
BEST version !
Extraordinaria película que ilustra el motivo de esa bella obertura.
Nice seeing a video of this with visuals that at least attempt to be appropriate to the music.
Superb!!! Love it!!!
Wow,to be there and witness this incredible performance must have been awesome!!
Впечатляюще! Спасибо за видеоряд.
Great video!
To je niečo úžasné!!!
To je pravda
"We'll destoiy what we have, but you will NOT HAVE US!" is the Masada story, and the WAY WE KEEP THE NWO OFF.
This song gets me so psyched!
I can smell gunpowder in the distance
Well done. Great piece of story-telling editing to an amazing piece of music.
Estupendo...bravo, bravíssimo!
Maybe we have to wait for another 1812 years to have a great overture as great as this one perhaps !
Very well done.
7:14 Glorious view, beautiful music.
Espectacular!!!!Felicitaciones !!!!!!!
This is extremely challenging to perform.
La más conmovedora obra que narra el sufrimiento, el horror, el dolor de la guerra así como el canto de la victoria y la vida misma en resumen es una obra inmortal del mas grande compositor de RUSIA
Thank you
you mixed some scenes from the Battle of Waterloo, but good overall... 4 thumps up out of 5 :D
Christian Clavier plays an excellent Napoleon.
Splendide !
Beautiful
The Russian Imperial Anthem played to pictures of Spasskaya Tower with the red star on top: for everything else there's MasterCard.
"I was born in the wrong generation"
XD
Just travel back about 150 years.
I don't think so. You wouldn't last long in these battles. None of us would.
Music is lovely.
Totally great!
I can picture actor Danny DeVito fitting the role as Napoleon...😂
Minute 13:40 i ran to my front house door thinking someone was ringing my doorbell..lol.
Gloriosa, grandiosa!!!
Ou la Russie aurait pu embrasser la révolution en 1812... et non en 1917.
Une superbe œuvre de Tchaikovsky pour notre défaite face à l'hiver...
good
14:55 And the crecendo!
Grande NAPOLEON aun que haya perdido esa batalla
Muero de la emoción!
¡Excelente!
Vale a pena colocar legendas também no Hino da abertura e final: "Deus, preserve vosso povo".
Muy buena idea realizar este video. Se disfruta. Bravo
Muy buena comparación de música e imágenes.
Bien gracias , vivadonPerón.-
