A Korean conductor leading a Japanese Philharmonic playing a song written by an Italian composer. This is how the world should be. Music unites all :)

[StefanoBorini]

My grandfather musician told me "you always recognise a piece from Rossini, he's always in a hurry because he has to go stir the tomato sauce". Rossini was an extremely enthusiastic chef, in addition to a great composer.

The best performance I have ever seen. The stand-up by the orchestra at the end was, and still is breathtaking!

[andreparis]

Cant stop watching this .. jus the teaching of the body language

[boeman]

Thats the most chill conductor I have ever seen

[cgirl]

One person sat down and wrote every note for every instrument in his head and came up with this.

[dedrickdavis]

This conductors subtlety of movement really captured the spirit of this song. We are just along foe the ride. Not the show! Thanks bro, for letting the music shine!!!

[raskandya]

i was in my living room when this music playing, suddenly I'm riding a horse.

[thDIVTimberwolf]

If I played this in my car, I'd lose my license.

[stephenhagen]

Bravo! By far the best! You guys and gals are AWESOME! THANK

[crazyorganist]

One of my absolute favourite conductors. He deeply cares about the music and really brings its power out

[dalebrown]

I've probably watched this 100+ times and love it every time. Between the conductor's actions, the gray bearded cello player and the first violin the enjoyment they are all having with this wonderful piece makes it just a special video. Thanks to all of them for their performance.

Music has no borders. As an Italian, am so happy to see an Japanese orchestra doing Rossini such justice. Bravo !!

[gerry]

Just watch his subtle hand motions, his fingers and hands are directing the 90 piece orchestra. Amazing just to watch him conduct.

Estoy lejos de ser una entendida en materia musical, solo gustan a mis oídos y me llena de gozo con esta clase de música maravillosa. Que genios aquéllos que como Rossini, Vivaldi, Ennio Morricone y Vangelis, por nombrar algunos pocos, que tuvieron el DON de crear piezas increíbles que sacude el alma, el espíritu se eleva y nos trasladan ahí donde soñamos, embebidos de un profundo gozo que hasta se nos escapan unas lágrimas. Son grandes artistas que supieron llegar a nuestro corazón, gente apasionada por la buena música. Acá la combinación director-orquesta fue fantástica, el maestro dirige con pasión como hacen los grandes que aman lo que hacen. GRACIAS!! 💕💖🧡🙏

[markyounger]

Fastest version I've heard. I love the standing at the end and the instruments up in the bleachers.

[burtvincent]

FANTASTIC!! Coming from an old mechanic who can't play a tambourine but appreciates those who can.

[rickmelillo]

My heartfelt thanks to the sound engineer(s) and the video editor and of course the musicians and conductor. I am not an expert in either but simply someone who knows enough to appreciate the end results. After watching this performance I was left with the overwhelming feeling that not one musician left anything on that stage that day. They gave everything to the performance and the sound engineers and video editor highlighted that perfectly. Thank you

[niamsettenbrino]

I love how they all stand up at the end, even the cellos
