Titel: Speeding Up the Images - All is in a State of Flux
Trommelwirbel während des Votings
Martin Grubinger, seines Zeichens Weltklasse-Percussionist aus dem Salzkammergut und selbst ernannter Freak, wenn es um Schlaginstrumente geht, steht als weiteres musikalisches Highlight nach den Auftritten der Kandidaten auf der Bühne. Während Europa und Australien voten, spielen Grubinger und sein „Percussive Planet Ensemble“ eine Trommelkomposition aus den verschiedensten Musikrichtungen aus aller Welt. „Ich kann es kaum erwarten, auf dieser tollen Bühne zu stehen“, sagte Grubinger kurz vor dem Finale im Gespräch mit www.songcontest.ORF.at
Mit seiner 80-köpfigen Truppe wolle er eine musikalische Weltreise in neuneinhalb Minuten machen und Österreich als weltoffenes, tolerantes, aber auch seinen Traditionen verbundenes Land präsentieren. „Ich habe das Projekt sehr genossen, weil uns der ORF freie Hand gelassen hat und wir machen konnten, was wir wollten“, so Grubinger. Fernsehdirektorin Kathrin Zechner dazu:„Wir wollten nicht nur die traditionellen Wurzeln Österreichs herzeigen, sondern den Fokus auch auf das Jetzt lenken. Martin Grubinger ist einer der größten Musiker dieses Landes, er spielt zwischen Tokio und Covent Garden und ist ein großartiger Intervall-Act.“

Never in my life would I've thought I'd hear Bruckner and Mahler being played at Eurovision

[@ulrikedamm9889]

Ziemlich beeindruckend. Ich glaube, Martin Grubinger ist phantastisch....🎉

[@geringergasse2]

This is far better than anything in the competition, of course.

[@jnbplaysgames]

I'm afraid to look up how they placed. I want the illusion of them being the winners to stay alive. 😂

[@eldritchcroon]

They weren't in the competition - this was an interlude.

[@savis0]

I occasionally return to this to be sure I definitely wasn't on bath salts in 2015 causing me to hear Mahler during flipping Eurovision

[@p.h.3987]

If the bedt part of the ESC is the "interlude" you know it all. THIS is music ❤❤❤. Not the ESC.

[@catsclients9741]

Die pure Freude an der Musik .... toll!

[@fred.chapman]

This is spectacular! How wonderful to see musicians and audience members alike so obviously enjoying themselves!

[@chukker11]

[@YourFirst100k]

[@jeremysteibel]

[@giannirossaro3975]

Solo chi ha il ritmo nel sangue può comprendere le capacità di questo artista...

[@greta9522]

Amazing!!!!

[@mendi3675]

very nice video good job

[@NormEatsRice]

So tight.

[@FilipusWisnumurti]

Wow, do the players come from well known european orchestras? I see a lot of instuments that are more common in orchestras, like the Wiener Horn, Rotarry Trumpets, Wiener Timpani, and also there is Sarah Willis of Berlin Philharmonic playing the horn, it's also unusual to see her playing wiener horn. The pieces performed are also those not quite common for such performance, we hear Bruckner 8, Mahler 2 and 3

[@tirolerhut79]

not to forget an arrangement of Janacek Sinfonietta, last movement, at 4:13

[@ziv_tendoora]

Some of them.
Actually Sarah Willis came to Vienna to do an interview with Martin for her “Horn Hangouts” and he invited her to play with them.
In the interview he also wanted the piece to represent Austrain music tradition.

[@idiotman4937]

I swear there’s a part in there that sounds like Frozen In Time By Dorman

[@tomclark5522]

So creative! Maybe this piece should be called "Drummers have more fun."

[@hardrider2]

I'm eating my first blueberry Pop Tart.

[@LanceTrombone]

Extremely great performance, musical tension builds up very very well until The advertisement has to come right before the last resolution.🙄
Everything spoilt...

[@lucpraktikal7828]

@midsnloud I thought the brass section was pretty good.

[@handofdecay]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

[@LeeNashMusic]

The drug is music...you probably wont understand such a commitment

[@lomeepaulin6220]

extra. inimaginable(Die unvorstellbare extra.)

[@daverufer]

"LIVE" ;-)

[@banksskywalker]

„LIVE“ ?

[@zhoubvs]

You absolute moron.

[@ninok1876]

Das ist sicher live

[@gabrielfallon8629]

Ed Snowden at 0:56

[@karlwilker579]

Why is the bassist a combination of Adam Neely and Ben Shapiro?

[@franckdebank]

So many people involved, quantity won't rescue quality.

[@midsnloud]

Redditor here, as a trumpet player myself I can say that even though most of these people are average at best musicians, they play pretty good together.

[@paterpen9832]

That may be true for the trumpet section, the percussionists are insane though.

[@Calamity365]

Average ? You are crazy

[@raion9692]

They are the best from each instrument.

[@wheeningschnitzel]

I don’t like this at all. Not at all. Not even a little bit.
