The Conductor taking a bullet for the show - that man is committed to his art! :)

[IsaiasMGPalafox]

The conductor laying dead through the entire performance was amazing. 😂👏🏼
This is w/o a doubt, one of the greatest themes of our time. It will outlive us all. Cheers. 🍸

What's most impressive to me is not just that they performed flawlessly, but that they did so without a conductor.

[COALEDasICE]

Let’s be real everyone felt like a badass playing that song

[jimbower]

I love that they have kept the same theme music throughout all the Bond movies. When I hear that first chord, I know I’m in for a good time.

[TheAngelOfDeath]

I've heard of the band killing the director, but never heard of them hiring a sniper to do the job and then continuing to play music as if nothing happened! Brilliant staging!

[richmeister]

One thing I love about The Danish National Symphony, they go all out on their performances. Great opening.

[Justadude]

The commitment to lay there the whole time 😂
Without a conductor it’s insanely impressive

I was lucky enough to watch it live in January 2020.
It was the last event I visited before the Covid era.
SO memorable that it was totally worth the hassel to drive almost 1000km for the concert.
This was the opening song of the concert, and the actor was so dedicted that he layed on the floor the entire song.
Kudos to u!
The real conductor came out after this song.

[SigmaChi]

This most magnificent music has left me shaken, not stirred.

[axelvetter]

"Do you expect me to conduct?"
"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

[mathildejensen]

What I love about this iconic performance is how the orchestra is having an absolut blast playing. What a joy to watch

[diannaanderson]

The sax player is just SO into it. He's really enjoying the music and the vibe.

[PhilipZeplinDK]

RIP the conductor :( gave his life for the performance :(

[keithlemon]

Probably one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of music ever written !

[lancecahill]

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra is one of the world’s best 👍👍

[ocker]

To my ears it sounds like they managed to recreate the original sound from the original recording. Really well done. I'm sure that took some research to get this close. I enjoyed that very much.

[vladibarrosa]

Getting rid of the conductor right off the bat is a stroke of genius. Dr. No would have totally approved. They are so freaking good.

[kerryjones]

John Barry was a genius. This orchestra is amazing.
