Why does no one write music like this anymore? Or if they are, why aren’t we hearing it? The music literally toys with my soul, I can genuinely feel my own emotions moving. I wanna smile, cry and laugh in disbelief all at the same time. Absolutely stunning.
For me, John Williams at his best - E.T. Orchestral Score - moves me like this.
@@KennettSymphony I was gonna say the same exact thing haha! The E.T. score (and especially finale) gave me the same chills and emotional powerhouse this piece did.
@@KennettSymphony I think the score from Schindler's List is better.
If you listen to movies score's you'll find the most beautiful and magical music. Some people list the music written by John Williams (a genius) but my favorite is Ennio Morriconi.....RIP! Listen to Marconi's "The Mission" (the best) or "Cinema Paradiso". Then there is always music by John Barry.
@@stanleyshelmire of course I have listened to both Ennio and John Williams, but nothing comes close to this. The harmonic mastery and ridiculous orchestration is beyond any film scores from today
If you have ever played in any orchestra, you cannot have anything but complete admiration for the hard work accomplished by this orchestra and conductor. Totally impressive!
I hope you are still on fire.....
Plus there is no better feeling, not only playing an astounding piece like this well, but having such an appreciative audience witness it.
Agreed! As a Clarinetist, to be surrounded, enveloped within these sounds is akin to living momentarily on a different plane..a different realm of existence.
At 14:38 we hear the 1923 recording of a real nightingale in the pines. That is 94 generations of birds ago, close to immortality, as is this exquisite dream.
Thank you for the time; I needed to find that place for a class I'm teaching!
that is a very moving thought ,in my opinion! thank you for that😍
I went looking for this piece of music because it was one of my fathers favorites. To my amazement I find he made this comment and how prophetic it was, as Chris passed not long after making this comment, but his love of classical music lives another generation in his eldest son.
I will do a cover of this lovely piece on my channel in the future as a tribute. Thanks Dad…. and the poster of this beautiful video.

@@switchedonbachunpluggedmpd2297You moved me to tears. Greetings from a director.
One of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
Agreed.
@phil erup
I didn’t say it was THE greatest, I simply said ONE of the greatest.
@phil erup
Gladly accepted 🙂
Beh. Non esageriamo 😊😊
Nope Beethovens 6th symphony is a work of art
This must be the best youth orchestra in the world. These young musicians are just fantastic. Slovenia might be a small country, but it has achieved big things with this orchestra. This performance is exciting - it sends a tingle down my spine. Well done to the wonderful conductor and the highly talented musicians.
well yes this is an exceptional performance, national "youth orchestras" aren't youth, they are 18-25.
as good as any other youth orchestra I've heard is the New England Conservatory . Check them out.
@@francissadleir9805 I am 81, anybody less than 40 is youth to me...
Orquestra Juvenil de Caracas is one of the best
@@francissadleir9805 That’s youth to me. 😎
The Pines of the Villa Borghese 0:00
Pines near a Catacomb 2:47
The Pines of the Janiculum 9:06
The Pines of the Appian Way 15:30
thank you 😊
Thank you very much.
I like 15:30 I used to play Bass Clarinet in high school ♥️🙏🏾
Absolutely incredible. My father introduced me to "The Pines Of Rome" when I was in my mid teens many years ago. I'm 76 now and listening to this version so many years later still gives me the same deep emotional thrill it always has. Very soul stirring and majestic. God bless these young musicians and their conductor for this breath taking performance.
The Pines of Rome finale never fails to reduce me to tears...
I agree - it is awesome!!!
Legions triumphant!
The last movement absolutely transports me 2000 years: I can see it. Roman legions in armor with pennants waving on pikes, returning from a foreign conquest. Elephants , tigers. slaves , prisoners, War booty of all descriptions marching in a tremendous dust cloud in the broiling sun on the Appian way to the cheers of citizenry lining the roadway.
This is a technical as well as musical masterpiece..
Once again Nadja Drakslar proved her amazing mastery of the clarinet. I have never heard any clarinetist produce such a sweet sound, and don't let me get started on her control, it is a masterclass.
Nadja Plays as Beautifully as she is herself. I just discovered her 2 Symphony's ago. The Youth Orchestras are a WONDERFUL Thing.
Having conducted many youth orchestras in my career, this has to be the best I have ever heard. The conductor is also absolutely fantastic. No overstatement, no unnecessary gesture "for the audience". It all about music, efficiency and beauty. Incredibly moving and simply beautiful.
How do you define a musical masterpiece? Simple. When you hear it for the 500th time it still thrills and enthralls you like the first time.
Question: How does one sustain a 20 minute goosebump? Answer: Listen to this performance!!
Listening to this music is the most emotionally exciting "natural high" I've ever experienced in my entire 77 year life! I consider it nothing less than a gift from God.
What glorious music, what a glorious orchestra, what a glorious conductor and what a glorious audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE YOUNG LADY ON THE CLARINET, IS TRULY AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible. I hope she's doing well.
Today, July 9th, is Ottorino Respighi's birthday and I had to watch, for maybe the 100th time, this SUPER performance of The Pines of Rome! Hope everyone involved is doing well today! Best Wishes from a grateful listener in Washington,DC
The Roman Legions marching through the Pines of Rome.....best performance I ever heard!
Heroin... Heroin... Fabulous... Magic... Divine... PERFECT...
For me, this song is among the 10 most incredible.
Beyond my words but not my tears. Thank you everyone.
Spectacular performance ! I love the name of this piece "Pines of Rome with Standing Ovation." Yeah...if I were composing a piece of music I would include a standing ovation as well. I heard his other composition "Pines of Rome with half-hearted applause" It wasn't as good
Two live performances of Pines, two different orchestras, two different venues, and two VERY different audiences. Each got an "S.O." and so help me also shook the chandeliers.
That's a good one! :-)))
johcafra: If the venues had pipe organs they were probably shaking the floor too.
Ha ha ha! Nice one Jim.
That's one of the best replies I have ever read!
Special... Spectacular... Best... Beauty... BEAUTIFUL... PERFECT...
This conductor is brilliant. He gives the ensemble exactly what they need... nothing more, nothing less. And he is able in part to pull a fantastic sound from the ensemble with such simplicity in pattern beating.
Outstanding performance by these young folks!! The 133 who voted "dislike" are complete idiots! That run through was exceptionally clean. Well done!!
I would play this in my 1970 car going thru the red woods on our way to beach. Every time we turned a corner this music blended to the greatest moment ever
The conductor's eyebrows at 20:20 and the concertmistress's smile at 20:31 ... sum this up pretty well. Spectacular performance!
I also love the conductor's enthusiasm
It is impossible to watch and listen to this without being totally moved. I have seen this any number of times and it never gets old. I am usually crying at the end and I think I go through that final movement without breathing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one... but I do keep breathing!
You sound like me!
It's incredibly moving and powerful. The Via Appia gives me goosebumps every time, whether listening or performing.
Clarinet lady is divine! This is now one of my favorite performances. THANK YOU for including the ovation. The ovation is really a part of this great work and should be listened to until the last clap. Congrats. 7 years later.
I hear most of the great orchestras here in NYC. This orchestra is second to none. Great job.
How can you not have a standing ovation after this piece? A very loud, sustained major chord, with full orchestra AND organ, will do it every time. Add a choir, and you'll get people jumping over their seats. Respighi knew what he was doing. Wonderful joie de vivre.
Wow, such young artists - wonderful!
one of the longest standing o's i have ever heard, remarkable and well deserved
Siete un patrimonio della musica europea! Viva!
I've seen the Pines of Rome performed many times by several different orchestras. This is by far the best! The excitement that this group played with is tangible and comes across to the listener both visually and auditorily. BRAVO!!!!
The ovation always has me in tears. Magnificent!!!!!!!!!
Esecuzione eccezionale perché suonata da giovani bravissimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Appian Way is beautiful. Wow.
It is utterly joyful. An ideal tonic for a spell of depression.
Exactly! And that’s why I have become an addict. I am planning a trip to beautiful Slovenia to hear it live in a concert
For certain one of the finest productions of "Pines of Rome". I'm delighted to see such a youthful orchestra creating such a refined sound, usually heard by groups with older members. The credit must definitely go to the very talented director! And, of course, to the dedicated, desciplined Slovenian students committed to good music. I wish American high school students were, but I don't believe so.
A very fine example of the Slovenian orchestral tradition, a performance full of style and spirit.
+Darrell Jones Yes, indeed. I heartily agree. But, I would widen it to an eastern European tradition.
+Marv Luse Slovenia was always part of a Central Europe. We were part of Austro-Hungarian Empire for a 1000 years. But I still hope, you like our music.
What amazing creatures are orchestras. How fortunate we are to share in this wonder of cooperative human creation.
Ever since we played "Pines of the Appian Way" a few years ago in our community concert band, I've absolutely loved this piece. I don't recall hearing all four up until now, but I swear, "Pines Near a Catacomb" is quickly edging its way toward the top as my favorite movement of the entire piece.
And what's more, these musicians are all so young-looking! This is some amazing talent.
I like near a catacomb too. I'm in high school and I want to play in an orchestra like this. (I'm a clarinet).
I wish music like this was appreciated more.
+Michael Pfahler It is. More than you know, by quiet and thoughtful folks.
@@michaelpfahler1022 I'm just listening to this for the first time and saw your comment. I do hope you were able to follow your dream and are playing with a brilliant orchestra such as this one. God bless.
Good 👍 Michael McClary
english horn starting at 16:28 and clarinet throughout...wow, just wow! Kudos to this fine orchestra!
Grand performance of mighty evocative music.
These were high school students? Amazingly talented! One of the best performances of this tone poem that I've heard. Great camera work, too!
This performance brought tears of JOY to my eyes!!!😭😭
seriously, respect to the clarinetis soloist.
The pines of Via Appia is a main theme music of the invincible and glorious Roman Empire‘s Military
Pines of Appian Way is simply the best movement in musical history. As a trombone player, I hope to one day to play this. Amazing that these were high schoolers.
I play trombone and have performed this piece. It does not disappoint.
If you haven't yet played it, you will! (Your grandma speaking here.)
You haven't lived until you've heard this piece in the manner performed here.
Simply superb.
Great fan of Ottorino Respighi. This is a magnificent performance. Thank you so much for sharing.
From Indiana USA. I am clapping as well. This is one of my most favourite pieces and you folks took it to the absolute top of the mountain and then some. Peace and good will to you.
Absolutely spectacular!
I got goose bumps and tears in my eyes when I heard this!
Me too!
Glad to know it's not just me.
I feel better about the world, seeing these young professionals play in concert. With young people who can play like this, the earth has a future.
Thank you, Kirsten. You definitely have a good grip on reality!
They’re not professional. Most of them are in high school.
The trumpet solo in the second movement gets me every time.
This is how it should sound.
I love this song! It's beautiful!
Magnificent !!! These are the best young musicians I've ever heard, and I'm a retired symphony musician.
Magnifique intreprétation de Respighi, mon compositeur préféré!💙💟❤☮☯🏳🌈!
One of my favourite pieces, and they performed it excellently.
Hello from Australia. Beautiful music, beautifully played. Thank you.
I love that you can hear the Organ really clearly here
wow! I'll bet Respighi would have loved hearing these young people performing his music so very well!
Amazing composer and amazing country!
Yes, and I hope to visit one day. Wow. Grazie.
A well deserved standing ovation. Wonderful performance.
Phwooooouaph.........beautiful
Just performed this piece in concert yesterday with my state's youth orchestra. It was incredible, and this is a great recording of it!
The fourth movement of this piece has to be my favorite ending of any piece ever written. Just absolutely awe-inspiring, especially when you're on stage in the middle of it all.
I can only imagine! Only in my wildest of dreams!
The GONG is unforgettable if you're there 😊
Not to take anything away from "The Pines of Rome," it is wonderful... and for a couple more examples of great endings, catch Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite," and the incomparable Mahler Symphonies #2 and #8 (and also the third, but there you're transported to heaven in a different way ).
I cried.
I had the opportunity to play this as a teenager at music camp. It was, and always will be, one of my most cherished memories. It's my favorite piece of all time.
I don't know how many times I have listened to this piece but each and every time I'm thrilled by the mastery of this orchestra.
This is such a master rendition. All very gifted young boys and girls. Wonderful.
This simphonic poem is so very lovely, I can't be spiteful at anything at all, such beauty, such incredible sounds of nature...you just feel in Rome...enjoy!
The young man playing the English Horn was fabulous!
Dreaming of going to Italy and other European countries someday. Father God....take me there after the pandemic is over..
A great performance! I have seen the band transcription of The Pines of the Appian Way myself. One day I heard the recording of The Pines of Rome by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony, another unforgettable performance. That said, I hope these young people keep going.
Today is the first time I ever heard this (in my long life) on radio and I am so glad I located it! Spectacular !!
Magnificent!
Ever since I heard this in the car a week ago, I've been playing it twice a day.
the textures in this are incredible--its like hearing piece for first time--esp. percussion--had no idea so many--and piano --all right there--kudos to conductor--he brought them out--usually drowned out...every thing is so crisp and clear..best I've heard like so many commentators here.
Also, excellent work by the sound technicians to make sure that all was captured.
Bravo, bravissimo!!!! Wonderful performance, wonderful music...!!!!! The best ever heard of "Pini di Roma"
Fantastic! Thank you.
MESMERIZING! Outstanding performance by young musicians.
Powerful performance exceeds all expectations
Former trumpet player - having had a chance to play this and many other wonderful pieces in concert - let me say - by far the best instruments are the double reed instruments - oboe, English horn, bassoon - absolutely love the sound.
Under the baton of Maestro Nesj Bečan all the instruments of the orchestral canvas acquiere a touch of magic and enchantment to make the orchestra vibrate and resound with a torrent of tonalities and colours unequalled in the musical world. Particularly in this score where the musical ideas of Ottorino Respighi seem to be imbued with an atmosphere of mystery, conjuration and wizardry. Players and conductor honor Respighi's score. Maestro Nesj Bečan you are an unqualled shaman, genius and brujo of the orchestral palette.
Fantastic performances of this young orchestra
These young musicians are AMAZING! Such a thrilling performance from start to finish! Very, very professional and polished. I've never seen a live performance so did not know about the extra brass in the balcony- blew me away!
Great. Amazing. Emotional. Heartbreaking. I was crying during listening. I think I've seen young people that are already high professionally skilled and which have not lost their enthusiasm yet. Perfect sound, too.
Sono tutti incredibilmente bravi! Maestro in testa!
This piece of music is food for the imagination, it magically conjures up many scenes.
Superbe performance d'interprétation, avec toute l'évocation de l'antique majesté de l'Empire Romain... Extraordinaire !
I was driving home late at night in traffic and almost pulled over because I was so moved by this performance!! I heard nuances in your interpretation that I have never heard in over 40 plus years of listening to this amazing piece. Bravo!!
For me, the best clarinet solo ever written
I'll never get over the amazing talent of this young orchestra.
This performance allowed me listen to so many different textures and colours that are normally drowned out by the orchestra-namely, the piano and the auxiliary percussion. Beautiful way of allowing the audience to hear the piece in a different way
I am glad, you like it. Music connects us in different ways. Greetings.
It is nice to be able to hear the piano and harp
If you're not tearing up during the finale, I don't know what will. Bravo!
Brilliant! Outstanding!!!
Perfect performance, very nice music from Respighi
