There are two types of people. Those who believe Jupiter and Mars should be played down-tempo, and those who have fun at parties.

Jupiter is one of the single greatest classical music pieces of all time

[whtgtvert]

My absolute favorite episode of Bluey has Jupiter playing in the episode. It brings tears to my eyes as i think of my kids as the music plays

[thesephers]

I love the fact that 26 people have watched this with all the effort, training, preparation, skill, and love that has gone into creating this and have said "no, I don't like this."

[tucotuco]

At 2.50, suddenly the universe cracks open and I get the meaning of life....

[FullMetalCleric]

BLUEY brought me here. My 5 year old son hums this song perfectly and it moves me to tears every time.

This conductor is awesome. After seeing how somberly she conducted Mars and now all her smiles in Jupiter, it’s clear to see how deeply she feels the music. Absolutely love her.

[kevinm.]

As a musician I can tell you the orchestra loves performing this piece. Especially the way they perform it. What a blast! Brilliant performance!

[jazzlike]

I can tell how many composers over the years have drawn inspiration from this piece just by listening to it once. Could hear Lord of the rings, Star wars and Legend of Zelda to name a few.

[oreezy]

Remember, I'll always be here for you. Even if you can't see me. Because I love you.

[RustyKloud]

2:50 is genuinely one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard in my life. it makes me so glad to have hearing

[yangyaren]

As a space nerd and planet lover this not only brings me joy of this legendary tune, it gives me a pang of excitement knowing one of the planets was conducted into a masterpiece

[Georgiaball]

The fact that this is from 1918 just makes it so emotional for some reason

[ethanm]

Reading the comments, yes its a bit brisk, but the conductor is fantastic. Brilliant performance.

[seantomlinson]

Here from Bluey's Sleepytime episode.

[dedede]

i love how they always include that one flautist's glorious mustache

[xtremenortherner]

Just about every "Space Opera" movie soundtrack composer in the 20th century owes a debt of gratitude to Gustav!

[daveborcher]

In my humble opinion, this is one of the finest renditions of a great piece of music that I've yet heard. Tempo changes give the piece drama and character...

[triggerfish]

All I can say is…if you’ve never seen a live orchestra…it’s quite an experience

[docdaneeka]

0:36 holy shit look at that guy's moustache
