First time I've ever seen a conductor that I actually got what he was doing. I freely admit to being a layman. This is one of my favorites

[zacurragazzo]

This is what positive anxiety sounds like and I love it

[hiimtheworst]

This is what it feels like when your mom leaves you in line in the mall to get something, but you start to get close to the cashier

[ARTISTEMPIRE]

The speed and skill of these violinists is just amazing.

Edvard Grieg wrote 'In The Hall of the Mountain King' as a satire of terrible music and said he could barely stand to hear it. It is now one of his most played and best remembered pieces. (Info from QI)

[diarrhea]

The conductor looks like he's playing Fruit Ninja lol. All jokes aside though those people are very talented

[torinoherrera]

No violins were harmed in the playing of this piece of orchestral music.

[alemutasa]

This HAS to be the greatest crescendo in the history of music. Name one that's better, I dare you

Edit: ok, now that this comment gained some replies I gotta say it: this was all a scheme to know new music. Thanks to everyone that enriched me with their knowledge ❤️ and please, don't stop repying: new reccomendations are always welcome

[GS-goqq]

It would be so badboy to conduct an orchestra for this piece of music. I'd probably pull my shirt over my head and knee slide across the stage once it finished

[rcfunfreax]

I heard a lot of versions of this classical piece, and finally the conductor seems to understand how important it is to start out at a slow tempo, not just soft in volume, to create the necessary anticipation. Well done sir, I applaud you!

[Rats]

I love this song

Edit: it has lyrics and if you are annoyed by my comment not saying piece... get a life bro

[stevewilliams]

I developed my love for classical music as a kid, by watching old "Bugs Bunny/Road Runner" cartoons on Saturday mornings. This song was played in one of those cartoons. Someone was chasing Bugs Bunny and this song was played during the chase.

1:41 And this is where the chaos starts XD

[JMPD]

The violinists has an intense aura going in lmaoo

[sharkbait]

I sometimes put this song on repeat while trying to write an essay, and it always works me up into a frantic frenzy

[CaptainReedo]

This is the best example of orchestral conducting I have ever seen. A master class!

[christinestill]

Oh NO, camera has to move around....I want to SEE those bassoons! His tempo is too quick anyway!

[davidmouzayek]

This was amazing. Seeing the people’s reactions is so good. Especially the kids, cause you can tell it’s their first time hearing it 😂
I’m into hardcore hardstyle music and this seems to be the classical equivalent

[inventorer]

Congratulations to the director who played well

[marianmatei]

I envy you guys! You are so privileged to be able to listen to such a fabulous orchestra, gorgeously conducted by a real Maestro, Igor Manasherov. Not to mention the genius of Grieg composition.
