wow!!!!........ that was so intense. made me feel like i was on a battle field. drew me in from the beginning all the way 'til the end. couldn't take my eyes off of the screen at all. love the conductor himself too. his emotions and movements are flawless and he adds that edge to make it all the more brilliant. would have loved to have witness it with my own two eyes. this is one of the reasons why i love music so much. thank you so much. xD
i was like 18 when this piece and the YTSO first came out, and like you, I skipped the boring monologue. Now that I'm 32 and back here listening again... there's so much passion and experience packed in that minute or two. And knowing the backdrop of the development of the internet and society since that time... it's very thought provoking.
@mykeBC totally agree.. when I first heard this version about half a year ago I really thought it was crap... but I ran into the LSO version just days before and fell love with it...lol... performer matters...
Some of this remind me of something.... I don't know what. Certain notes here and there, like a thing in the back of your mind. It is fantastic though, how he combined so many instruments, from different musical traditions, into one being. Much love, and I rather hope he does this for them again.
Personally I really like this piece. It's one of my favorites. :) Isn't Tan Dun conducting his piece he composed? So the way they played is the way he told them to play. Unless when they first started they forgot everything he told them. Oh well still love this piece. :D
@mykeBC I listened to them simultaneously and I have quite a musically trained ear, I muted one while the other played, there is the tiniest, if any, difference, they are different tempos at points, but there is not much difference between the two
@EdiEllerymissing I have to respectfully disagree. While art is a subjective matter, this composition is very well written and performed (though pop sucks imo). The musicians had limited time to play and aren't professionals like the LSO. The "inserts of movie's music" was Tan Dun's homage to John Williams used at the 2008 Olympics China, so there's a reason for that. I was at the Piano Texas Festival and several symphonic performances this year, the art of classical music is far from dying
@JDBMW1: I had the entire score in front of me trying to figure out where they could have gone wrong. NO WHERE! Furthermore, this was one of the last pieces they played of the night, no way could you be nervous by this point.
@xXJawruWolfXx I did not talk about the intrumentalists and their skills - it's just that tan dun won a lot of big prices for his compositions and thus you could expect a big composition that does not only sound nice but also offers you some kind of deep experience, different layers of meaning and some new points of view on our tonal system in reference to the main topic of this symphony - but I can find nearly none of these aspects and thus I'm disappointed...
@Adri58 Still, that's only because you're so accustomed to the traditional "Western" music, and not to anything else. Many areas don't even use any of our scales. Doesn't make it bad or anything. We Chinese have our own style as well, so don't judge based on your own biases. You probably don't even understand a bit about Chinese music.
lol the piano woman looked like she was typing on a keyboard. how cool! amazing, obviously. tan dun conducts hilariously :) at 3:23 or 3:24 was the guy going to play, and he stopped? was that a near mistake?
WOW what's that mini-piano? I personally love the version previously with LSO more.. This version is too much with the guitar and the timpani clouded everything.. what's happening to the percussion? Anyway I love the theme If he took Beethoven as teacher... should he use more standardized orchestral instruments? It has gone too far away from Beethoven.. BTW..just curious are the trumpeters using normal Bb turmpets or in other keys (in E maybe?) That' s a hard key form trumpet!
Hmmm, it seems like the audio is a bit messed up and unfocused. It sounds like the music is fighting a battle against the obnoxious clamoring of the percussion instead of using it for support
Sadly around the climax he forgets that he isn't conducting professionals and it kind of falls apart....but other than that I love it! Especially the whole idea
6:36 was -- in my opinion -- oe of the best parts... the music is so strong and emotional, and everyone playing showed great enthusiasm and it's easy to tell they were having a great time and felt appreciated AND appreciative for everything happening. Tan Dun was INCREDIBLE, and he (along with the orchestra) did a beautiful job and, I hope, will keep doing what they are doing here... I'm sure they will be known world-wide if they do! :D
@Adri58 Don't compare them. It's different. We're so used to hearing what's known to most as "European" music that our ears aren't really trained for the traditional music of the non-European/non-Western countries. Look into Islamic song and Bosnian folk or ganga music, or the Polish Goralski suites, or the African Shona music with the mbira, or the Arabic takht ensembles performing tarab. They all have their distinct scales and musical modes and you'll probably find them very hard to listen to
i dont know why they focused in on the lady with the little piano thing for so long hahah yeah the balance was wrong - too much guitar/drums.. not enough violin in the middle sections.
The video of me crashing the way she did is up go check it out on UH BANDS youtube channel! But I didn't crash on the and like she did lololol at the end.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it... it's a toy piano! It kind of works like a glockenspiel (a really tiny, metal xylophone) but you press keys like you would a piano.
+William Huang if you listened it properly you can here that the main melody from Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony no.3 first movement in the middle of this piece
Fractals are simply taking a source and making more of the same, with growth factors.

To be honest ever since I watched this part of the concert whilst it was being broadcasted live here on UA-cam, this piece always disappointed me. I mean out of any of the other pieces they could have played, this one was what made the UA-cam Symphony what it was. Out of any of the other pieces, this is the one they should have known front and back, hence not screwing it up. London Symphony did it way better in my opinion. Bowing was off, timing was off. It's not a hard piece at all.
@EdiEllerymissing We have to be carefull 'bout what we like to call right or wrong. It often happens that people call things wrong which do just not fit into their cultural concept.
noticed Hebrew following timing notation after my ID in the next comment: I am from a cluster of mixed families. I have proposed a theory of science, morality, events (history.) What chases most away is the idea of it being a CONVEYED lesson. But that also absolves all of being culpable. If it should be there is an aspect of nature that implies it has a form of quasi-life, it will prove Judaism while simultaneously saying a sentiment could live. All are correct. One religion. No hat trx
Very biased camera work... not impressed. I could hear a classical guitar which was very prominent, yet no camera shots of it at all, there was also very little lower strings being shown... great piece, but very poor work documenting it.
@EdiEllerymissing There are no orchestration "mistakes". There are just ways of orchestrating that do not fit with your idea of a good orchestration. anyway - the fact that you're into "contemporary" music makes me wonder if you did expect anything else than this from an internet(!) symphony...
I was there! @Carnegie Hall, NYC in 2009. Unforgettable performance! So touched that I have listened it online for more than 100 times after that!
This guy is EXTREMELY passionate
wow!!!!........ that was so intense. made me feel like i was on a battle field. drew me in from the beginning all the way 'til the end. couldn't take my eyes off of the screen at all. love the conductor himself too. his emotions and movements are flawless and he adds that edge to make it all the more brilliant. would have loved to have witness it with my own two eyes. this is one of the reasons why i love music so much. thank you so much. xD
That was a very interesting piece! I enjoyed that very much! I loved how all flavors of the orchestra were all used together. Excellent job!
His style is unique in the composition and using instruments.
Power of internet bring the whole world together. Internet symphony is the 21 century miracle innovation. Good luck. I will be there someday.
The wonderful thing about art is that no ones taste is the same. I really like this piece...
I preferred the version when he conducted the LSO. but tan dun can do no wrong in my eyes.
Starts at 2:38
i was like 18 when this piece and the YTSO first came out, and like you, I skipped the boring monologue.
Now that I'm 32 and back here listening again... there's so much passion and experience packed in that minute or two. And knowing the backdrop of the development of the internet and society since that time... it's very thought provoking.
Excellent!
That was great!
I do like it very much.....BRAVO
but this is so much much more special! and they still played it very well for 3 days practice.
A saw this live in munich and it was amazing... it's an awesome piece of music :)
6:38 you can physically see the musicality pouring out of them.
@mykeBC totally agree.. when I first heard this version about half a year ago I really thought it was crap... but I ran into the LSO version just days before and fell love with it...lol...
performer matters...
Some of this remind me of something.... I don't know what. Certain notes here and there, like a thing in the back of your mind.
It is fantastic though, how he combined so many instruments, from different musical traditions, into one being. Much love, and I rather hope he does this for them again.
that was was amazing!!!! i really like it
awesome!!!
BRAVISSIMO!!!!
Very good. I wish more modern composers created good, TONAL music!
amazing
I think this piece is really diverse, I like it a lot.
This sych a good piece of music!
very good I love it
I love that master piece:) awesome=)
i love this song!
it's beautiful
i wish i could have been there! this was such a fun piece to listen to :)
I was there! @Carnegie Hall, NYC. So touched that I have listened it online for more than 100 times after that!
it is so peaceful
Makes me cry every time.
5:27 pianisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisisimo xd
Escucho pero no ubico en donde esta la guitarra! Felicidades a todos!!!!
Did the trumpet came a little late?
Super!
Personally I really like this piece. It's one of my favorites. :)
Isn't Tan Dun conducting his piece he composed? So the way they played is the way he told them to play. Unless when they first started they forgot everything he told them.
Oh well still love this piece. :D
Is it the trumpet hour? Would’ve been nice to see the oboes when they had the melody.
Why the Performance of a piece by Antonin Dvorak played by YTSO cannot be watched?
powerful
@bonajkukoj It's Tan Dun conducting here.
This is awesome
Those are the legendary disc brakes right? Whose cars are going to be destructed then?
The rehearsal version sounds nicer actually..
Someone needs to convince me that the LSO (London Symphony Orchestra) played this so much better then the YSO.
5:20 mini piano?
really? i haven't heard the LSO's version yet, but i love the percussion, huge focus on it in this piece
3:50 trumpet on the far right is Sylar.
Sin lugar a dudas es una obra menor, le queda grande el titulo de Sinfonía.
@mykeBC
I listened to them simultaneously and I have quite a musically trained ear, I muted one while the other played, there is the tiniest, if any, difference, they are different tempos at points, but there is not much difference between the two
Finally! someone who can see Beethoven's greatness! permit me to call you my friend and join you in that toast!
Percussions are too loud. when they play you can barely hear the violins.
@EdiEllerymissing

don't they have camera focused elsewhere than the brass, winds and strings?!
@JDBMW1: I had the entire score in front of me trying to figure out where they could have gone wrong. NO WHERE! Furthermore, this was one of the last pieces they played of the night, no way could you be nervous by this point.
thank you for the shortcut XD

donde puedo encontrar las partituras?
right at the climax too...
@NathanaelXavier I think it's called a celeste.
5:40 what is her job?
lol the piano woman looked like she was typing on a keyboard. how cool!
amazing, obviously. tan dun conducts hilariously :)
at 3:23 or 3:24 was the guy going to play, and he stopped? was that a near mistake?
oh ok. I just never seen that happen during a concert. i take my comment back.
First Chair Violin: GET IT!
@Haeronthegreat
Eb? You mean the C trumpet? It is rather strange that the other two are on Bb horns and the principle dude is on a C horn.
Мелодический лад,который исп пользуется в ки тайской народн ной музыке -пенкатоника.Здесь тоже есть эт и элементы
Yes, I know. I was expecting a yes answer to the question. thanks for commenting on my comment.
GREEEEAT GREEEATTT GREAAATTT
4:30 lower strings and upper strings obviously didn't bother to synchronise their bowings
6:45?something wrong?
WOW what's that mini-piano?
I personally love the version previously with LSO more..
This version is too much with the guitar
and the timpani clouded everything..
what's happening to the percussion?
Anyway I love the theme
If he took Beethoven as teacher...
should he use more standardized orchestral instruments?
It has gone too far away from Beethoven..
BTW..just curious
are the trumpeters using normal Bb turmpets or in other keys (in E maybe?)
That' s a hard key form trumpet!
Hmmm, it seems like the audio is a bit messed up and unfocused. It sounds like the music is fighting a battle against the obnoxious clamoring of the percussion instead of using it for support
4:51, tema de Beethoven de la Sinfonía Heroica jajaja que divertido
sinfonía 3
Sadly around the climax he forgets that he isn't conducting professionals and it kind of falls apart....but other than that I love it! Especially the whole idea
6:36 was -- in my opinion -- oe of the best parts... the music is so strong and emotional, and everyone playing showed great enthusiasm and it's easy to tell they were having a great time and felt appreciated AND appreciative for everything happening. Tan Dun was INCREDIBLE, and he (along with the orchestra) did a beautiful job and, I hope, will keep doing what they are doing here... I'm sure they will be known world-wide if they do! :D
You mean the one around 6:44 ?
5:46 What's the instrument this woman's playing? :s
@Adri58 Don't compare them. It's different. We're so used to hearing what's known to most as "European" music that our ears aren't really trained for the traditional music of the non-European/non-Western countries.

5:30 OMG MINI PIANO WANT!!!!!!
Starts 2:39
FUCK YES!!!
2:41
i dont know why they focused in on the lady with the little piano thing for so long hahah yeah the balance was wrong - too much guitar/drums.. not enough violin in the middle sections.
... I thought the melody is his "金聲玉振 茉莉花"
@tchellman yep
The video of me crashing the way she did is up go check it out on UH BANDS youtube channel! But I didn't crash on the and like she did lololol at the end.
the guitar and brake drums were a little much, but once it got into the main theme, it was a home run.
It’s missing chimes, that is what is missing.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it... it's a toy piano! It kind of works like a glockenspiel (a really tiny, metal xylophone) but you press keys like you would a piano.
Wow, didn't know Beethoven's work can be improved by this much!
this isn't him...
+William Huang if you listened it properly you can here that the main melody from Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony no.3 first movement in the middle of this piece
+Nok Him Chan at 4:51

The wheel things that had those arpeggio tunes weren't as good as the ones the LSO used.

sadly the crash cymbal was early lol
@EdiEllerymissing
Can you send me your work?
Perhaps I can get my orchestra here in California to play it.
:]
Message me.
I wonder if they overdid it when they mic'd the percussion...
Very biased camera work... not impressed. I could hear a classical guitar which was very prominent, yet no camera shots of it at all, there was also very little lower strings being shown... great piece, but very poor work documenting it.
Tim Payne No actually I think that “classical guitar” was that small piano looking thing
@EdiEllerymissing There are no orchestration "mistakes". There are just ways of orchestrating that do not fit with your idea of a good orchestration.
