Susanna Mälkki, Conductor
BBC Symphony Orchestra
The Proms 2015
Royal Albert Hall, London
July 27, 2015 - Hudba
There are two types of people. Those who believe Jupiter and Mars should be played down-tempo, and those who have fun at parties.
Based on original recordings conducted by Holst himself, all the planets should be played a lot faster than pretty much every modern recording I've heard, including this.
@@nicholastidemann9384 Do you have a link to the original recordings? Id like to hear the original tempo
Nicholas Tidemann apple music agrees with you, _but_ I however...
*dont.* I like my classical music slow when it’s supposed to be slow.
@@brodyplaysthebaritone: that reply makes no sense whatsoever. This music was composed by Holst, and as is evident from Holst's own conducting of his own music, it's supposed to be played a lot faster.
So sure, you can like your classical music slow when it's supposed to be slow, but by that logic you should like this particular music fast since it's supposed to be played fast.
@@brodyplaysthebaritone but... jupiter and jolly.... who sings happy birthday at 80 bpm?
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
Yeeesss
Genuinely never heard this song from any series, animation or non animation until Bluey.
i played this in my schools orchestra, and its been stuck in my head since. So when i heard it in bluey, i was just amazed. Cause it really is a beautiful song, and they used it so magnificently.
Yep 🥹
Bro i literally watched Bluey just to hear this song XD
And my band played it too lol
Jupiter is one of the single greatest classical music pieces of all time
Same in my opinion
I really can't dissagree, especially given I found a CD recording of "the Planets" from 1986 (Telarc Digital I believe) and can't stop listening to it, it's increadible, even more so becuase CDs had only been in use for 4 years at that point, so someone spent some serious money for making such a good recording, I swear it has more Dynamic range than most modern stuff...
Agreed
John Williams would agree.
2:48 is the motif that has stuck in my head all my life. The steady walking of the strings that gets replaced with the grand low brass while the violins and trumpets soar over top. Brings tears to my eyes. I think Holst is where John Williams learned that French horns are first class citizens in any orchestra.
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."
Just one of those things. My cat seems to be enjoying it very much indeed, but then she has great taste.
The numbers have increased to 43
Rest assured the people who hit 'Dislike' to this will not come to anything in this world.
I think this is to fast to harsh and somehow misses the beauty and that conductor needs a joint.👎
@@George.Andrews. she's a great conductor. If you've ever listened to the original 1926 recording with Gustav holst and the London Symphony Orchestra, it's actually slower than the original. It's usually slowed down by conductors for power and elegance
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.
Agree,, she's incredible and true to the music,,God bless her❤
Shes giving 111%
At 2.50, suddenly the universe cracks open and I get the meaning of life....
my favorite part, was that part included on movies? I feel like i heard it before..
Absolutely. Makes my hair stand on end at the back of my neck
@@aaronpaulm.manuel9871 It's the music set to "I Vow To Thee My Country". A Church of England hymn. That piece always brings tears to my eyes.
@@joselitostotomas8114 great! Thank you! I might check it now..
@@aaronpaulm.manuel9871 also used in the BSO of "The Right Stuff", used in the scenes where the Mercury capsules are being launched to space. Great combination of music and images.
BLUEY brought me here. My 5 year old son hums this song perfectly and it moves me to tears every time.
Only in a dream can you dive into THE largest, deepest, and most ferocious storm known to humanity (or, in-universe, to caninity) and chillax peacefully.
Not a song
As a musician I can tell you the orchestra loves performing this piece. Especially the way they perform it. What a blast! Brilliant performance!
Yeah
Indeed!💚
I was always the one saying, “Let’s play Jupiter!” and the ones who didn’t practice enough would gasp while the rest of us were like Yes! 😂
I saw this last night at the Atlanta Symphony and you could tell how hyped the horns were because during intermission you could hear them playing little pieces of Jupiter.
@@rebeccahill9818 I was there too! I kept hearing them play bits of Mars too, that was fun
Remember, I'll always be here for you. Even if you can't see me. Because I love you.
I have to go, I'm a big girl now...
ninety nine bottles of thing on the wall, ninety nine bottles of thiiiiiiiing, if one of those bottles should happen to fall, you got ninety sev- eight bottles of thing on the wall
I love it❤, I've played classical music for my kids since they were tiny. They both played French horn in school and love music. My daughter found that Bluey episode and played it for me. I freaked, to be honest. What a sweet and beautiful episode it was too. And it was the music that really brought that out❤❤
Cool
@@WasabiSniffer now THAT'S a reply
i love how they always include that one flautist's glorious mustache
Why are you on every classical music and band music video
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...
All I can say is…if you’ve never seen a live orchestra…it’s quite an experience
I had the pleasure of attending a live concert of the planets, can’t beat feeling the waves
2:50 by far my favorite part
Saaame. I wish they played the piece slower
@@donttworryy3487This is slower than the original what are you on?
@@BeethovenClefgonna be going 2 beats per hour

Twenty three years ago my daughter’s high school marching band played a section of Jupiter in their halftime show. They were 14 to 18 year olds and they were wonderful. To this day, this amazing piece of music pulls at my heartstrings.
I too played it at my high school. This definitely brought back great memories
Just about every "Space Opera" movie soundtrack composer in the 20th century owes a debt of gratitude to Gustav!
I can hear Space Battleship Yamato all over this.
The Right Stuff brilliantly used the Jupiter Movement for John Glenn and Friendship 7.
the bluey episode....?
I love the expressions on these guys' faces. They're all so... jolly.
Jollity😃!
i see what you did there
🤦♀️🤦♀️ haha
Jovial, even. 🤩
Here from Bluey's Sleepytime episode.
HELL YEAHHH
Reading the comments, yes its a bit brisk, but the conductor is fantastic. Brilliant performance.
Absolutely. She looks grim, but what a driver of the orchestra. Stunning.
If you mean by "brisk," quick, then you're slightly off. It's slower than scored and conducted by Holst himself. You can hear Holst conducting his own suite of The Planets with the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded in 1926 but restored, and it is clearly more brisk than this one.
@@jediprice70 Funny enough, i have literally just watched that video, and to comment on what you've said, there were comments on that video that said that the reason why the recording sounded "brisk" or "speedy" is because of the recording system. So things were played back a bit faster than how it was originally conducted by holst. 1.) the disk rpm was 78. 2.) holst was "rushing" so all of the planets could fit on that recording you're referring to
@@shadmium3471 Oh thank you, I didn't see those comments on the other video. Or the ones I read I didn't understand what they're saying, because of using musical only words. If you don't understand music words, you don't really know whether they're saying it's faster or slower.
So thank you for letting me know. Is it really too fast, in this video.
@@jediprice70 in my opinion yes this conductor was brisk but I like it!
I prefer so much « prestissimo » and intense versions like this one ! And I love this conductor !
I was in the audience two boxes away from the Royale box (to the left) the night of this performance. It was definitely a wow moment and is still now listening to it. 🙂
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
😢 I love this so much it makes me cry every time i hear it. I want this played at my funeral. I will be crying in my coffin. God bless this beautiful tune!
2:50 will always bring the tears of "Just remember, I'll always be here for you. Even if you can't see me. Because I love you."
#Bluey #Sleepytime
0:36 holy shit look at that guy's moustache
dam bruh
It helps align his flute to 'Master Level'
My mans plays for keeps
Its a beauty
I’m glad Bluey introduced this song to me. On the episode “Sleep time” fyi
I was introduced to this song by my band director....
Same
I keep returning to this video. I like to think that if Gustav was looking down at this He would say ' Yes, that's how You play it.' so, subtle, so beautiful. The conductor should have some kind of award for it. You can see the love for the piece in Her eyes and Her conducting. Thank you so much.
The best part about music like this is that even though it sounds amazing its actually really easy to play! Amazing music doesnt have to be overly complex.
Holst’s Jupiter, Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, and Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. The holy trinity of the most beautiful pieces of classical music of all time.
Fur Elise and Pachelbel's Canon could never
@@zephdo2971Not that good
The entirety of swan lake?
I prefer Tchaikovsky’s Hymn of the Cherubim and 1812 Overture
2nd movement from Dvorak New World
Seen this at the Royal Albert Hall yesterday, incredible, couldn’t see much as I was tearing up a bit. 😁
1:32
Favorite Horn part
1:41 Favorite strings part
1:50 Favorite trumpet part
1:59 strings fastening pace and rolling
2:07 trombones going crazy
4:11 love that key change and horns as well
6:18 like the beginning, royal waltz but with key change
6:25 strings also waltzing
6:46 foreboding trombone and tuba, leaving a dark presence for the short excerpt
6:54 resentful trumpets responding to the foreboding call
Can't forget the awesome oboe solo! (I play oboe in high school so I'm prob biased)
@@Yello96486 literally the double reed parts sound so playful and joyful, hearing bassoon oboe stuff always is always so uplifting and dopamine inducing
@@patricktanoeyjaya4430 fr
@@Yello96486 not to forget the flute runs and high notes! Sincerely, flute player
@@a.k.a.notoriousbigpoppa9487 ofc
damn intense conductor
duh
She really be vibing tho 😳
Got that right
@@gizmo4192the genius of Holst
Particularly this piece
Every single time I listen to this I start crying at 2:48 because my old high school band director had us play this to get the job. I was a sophomore and he t=was the down right most amazing person and musician a person could meet. Love you Mr. T
We play it at graduation every year. :’(
I'm forever grateful to my music teacher from high school, Mr Malloch, who introduced me aged 11 to classical music through the fantastic Planet suite. Incredible piece.
This is Both a pleasure to play and to listen to
It absolutely is! Was my 2nd concert band piece to learn to conduct by my band director back in HS for symphonic band. Such an amazing piece! This orchestra is outstanding
The range of emotions this evokes is stunning. I love this piece and The Planets so much.
As a horn player, this may be my favorite piece ever.
The fact that this is from 1918 just makes it so emotional for some reason
Agree 100 %
So, who else just watched Sleepytime?
Me
🙋♀️
🙋♂️
Oh my god, YES. That was the reason I wanted to come here🥹
The first time I cried in years
Brb gonna go stare at those swirly high-quality images of Jupiter while listening to this
Not only is this my favorite of the movements but it’s probably the best conducted and played version that I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy in my 68 years. Very well done Susanna!
Now accessible to the younger generation through the cartoon Bluey (Look up S2 ep36 - sleepytime)
We used the chorale for our warm-ups during marching band when I was in college. I think it is probably one of my favorite chorales that I’ve ever heard. It brings me back to the days of playing it in concert band as well. There’s just so much emotion to it.
It climbs, is dives, it turns on a sixpence. Holsts Jupiter is one of my favourite pieces of music.💚
Incredible rendition of an incredible piece of music. There’s life before hearing Holst and life after. ❤️
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.
The resemblance to Saria's theme / Lost Woods is no mere coincidence.
The drop never disappoints.. 😁
Conductor absolutely nailed it with knobs on. Musicians out of this world From another's planet.
3:37 GOD DAMN THAT WOMAN IS JACKED
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Gotta move that hand up and down the instrument fast.
OH HELL YEAAA. Lol as a lesbian all i can say is SMASHHHH
@@minecraft_villager_hmmm8635underrated comment. 😂😂😂
This brings back memories. I remember playing this in high school. It was definitely challenging to learn but rewarding once we got everything right.
We played this my sophomore year of HS in my youth orchestra. I was second oboe and absolutely love this piece. This piece has a special spot in my heart especially at the chorale
I love watching the principal bassoonist play. I can tell she thoroughly enjoys playing this piece! I once played bass clarinet on this and it was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life!
Played this for a full orchestra contest in high school (ca. ‘97/‘98), and still listen to it regularly. Such a great song.
Saw the entire set at Hollywood Bowl, I took my grandma and 4 of my friends. Still the best concert and event I ever attended. My friends all agreed. BTW Grandma had a blast.
I was listening to this piece at full volume & my next door neighbor liked it so much that he threw a brick through my window so he could hear it better! I feel so honoured by their genuine appreciation for this masterpiece. 🎇
A masterpiece with breathtaking pieces. I think that this work with its various passages, masterfully united, reflect life itself.
The strings make me cry every time
Its always that one part of the piece where I can't help but cry, its so beautiful
Good GOD that was beautiful !!!!!😇
This beautiful melody penetrates into my soul
I've been checking out multiple recordings of Holst Planets available on youtube and this is by far the highest quality sound and performance.
Then you haven't heard the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra play it. They play at the speed its actually supposed to be, not way to fast like this
@@chickentrendies6989I think this tempo is great though
Actually this is slower than jupiter was originnally meant to be@@chickentrendies6989
2:51 “I have to go.. I’m a big girl now”
“Remember I’ll always be here for you..
even if you can’t see me…
because I love you”
SHUT UP
SHUT THE HELL UP.
A frickin masterpiece. No other way to describe
She is a wonderful, thorough and musical conductor.
I'm so delighted by the bassoonist who keeps looking over to the timps and horns at about 4 minutes in - she is loving life 😍
Driving slowly through Edinburgh with this playing on Timeless FM, hosted by the ever so graceful Don Thompson.
The conductor is BOSS...
Love how animated and passionate she is. A delight to watch and a great performance by the orchestra
2:49 I vow to thee my country! holst was a true great composer and patriotic man
He wasn’t a fan of ostentatious patriotism. In fact he was quite ambivalent about having such a nationalistic song set to his music. He was a very interesting man.

Dont you hate that glitch where your reply repeats
One of my favourites, played by an orchestra of supreme talent.
Thanks bluey. ❤
I I watched the light show at the Albert Hall today..I was amazed!
Mr. Joe, u r sooo right!!! I absolutely love everything about this performance...When my high school opened 17 yrs ago, my band director and choral director used the slow part of Jupiter and created our school song!!! Brings back alot of my band performance memories....my senior year, we performed 'The Planets' at our state marching contests and we ranked #1 out of 42 bands......
My midele school was going to play an excerpt of this piece and we didnt because covid.
When I was in Middle school many MANY years ago our music teacher played The Planets for us each lesson. My love of music came from her......
I think it’s fabulous music. I love Holst’s “Planets.” Well executed, the sound is superb.
No performance is as intriguing and captivating and inspirational as this performance
I think it’s wonderful. Love it.
This always makes me think of forza horizon 4 when it just came out. You have the whole, comparatively vast expanse of the map, and you get into your very first long dirt race whilst listening to the classical station and this comes on. Its magical.
Anyone: "How much do you love your children"?
Me: starts playing this at 2:50
I'm not crying, you're crying!!!
We're all crying.
"Oop, mustn't forget Floppy."
I;ve seen that episode several times with my daughter and cry evertime haha
Is it just me or that tunes "O God beyond all praising"?
@@marcrodriguez7475If that's the same tune as "I vow to thee my country" - then yes 😊
Near flawless performance. Jupiter just won’t get old.
the planets has got to be the best orchestra pieces ever. so beautiful. mars and jupiter are my favorites
I just heard a portion of this piece while on hold hold with my pharmacy and had to get on CZcams to listen to the full movement 😊
Regardless of who "they" may be, "they" never pick up until you get to the best music.
That lady at 1:09 playing what I think is a bassoon is really enjoying herself , good for her , what a fabulous piece of music .
That’s one hard core conductor.
holy gosh i love this piece so incredibly much and when people play it as fantastically as this, i just can't help but love music and playing instruments even more
MOST FAVOURITE PIECE OF MUSIC IN THE WORLD.
3:01 this is the famous bit of the Jupiter bit
I wish I was there to see it in LIVE
I played this when I was in high school, it’s the best!
I am crying right now 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢that’s how good you are playing
You got to love the way they set up the orchestra with extra space in front of the trombones tubas and trumpets
Love this song ❤️… is my middle school, national anthem play double base in middle school shortly after my orchestra teacher passed away brings back so many memories LONG LIVE MS BROOM ❤️❤️ Lovely orchestra thank you for sharing
This song is my absolute FAVORITE orchestra 🎻🎺🎷!! It's just so amazingly beautiful ✨✨
loved this!! such an amazing performance
2:51 is my favorite
Just beautiful. Thank you.
I’m playing the part from 2:50 for my school band concert, fun piece.
2:50 i vow my thee to my country
This is one of the best pieces of music ever composed
i dont think I'll ever be able to wrap my head around a orchestral composer could wrap their head around so many different instruments playing simultaneously and how it should sound and change pitch and everything else involved. it is something I'll never truly understand
Quite simply magnificent !
Thank you for sharing!!!! It is always nice to hear this piece of Gustav Holst's song!!!!!
What a bright tempo. Love it!
Never underestimate the beautiful tunes of Timeless FM
