GRANDE MUSICA DI UN GENIO ITALIANO
The beautiful thing about classical music is that, when asked, most people say they don't know classical music when actually they do. They know it from cartoons, movies, advertisements, tv, radio... Anyway, this one of my favorites and, yes, I can't stop myself from thinking about Bugs Bunny when I hear it. But it is a killer tune, no doubt. There's some serious violin shredding going on here. Slow, fast, heavy, light, sparse, dense - it's all there. Do I need to hear the full opera? No, this is enough to get the heart beating and leaves me time to look for more good stuff. The easiest 5.0 score I'll ever give. I'm coming out of suggestion retirement for this genre to propose Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Second Movement. For the purpose of a quick video, it's a bit long at 13 minutes. But because there's so much power in this piece, the time is well spent. When I was a kid, NBC television would air a nightly news show called The Huntley - Brinkley Report. It opened and closed with this piece and on slow news nights when they had extra time, they'd extend the closing credits and let the music play. This was the first music I ever became excited to hear.
{{{{ Early Metal !!! }}}} 🤘
Had to listen a second time and that's when it dawned on me that this orchestra is killing it. I think the orchestra deserves some credit, so guys, what orchestra is this? Superb job by the orchestra and the recording engineers.
Oh! Oh! Oh! You guys are right there in Disneyland! You gotta get a copy of Fantasia and watch it. Disney gives Warner Brothers a run for their money in the use of classical music in an animated film.
A little known fact about this is that the actual composer was Bugs Bunny using a pen name. Can't go wrong with Bugs, he was a true genius.
"The Rabbit of Seville", directed by Chuck Jones.
@@alanfoster6589 very good, now go ask your mommy for some cookies and milk.
che musica fantastica
Rossini wrote 40 operas in 7 years. Then he was so rich, that he didn't work at all. He spent the rest of his live cooking delicious meals for his friends and making party.
Aaah! That's life ...Italian style.
No, by time he wrote little pieces of music and religious music.
Amo ❤❤
switching the light out so as to concentrate on the music. that takes me back to days when music was the most important thing. great piece as well. BUGS BUNNY!!!!!
These composers were the rock stars of their time. "Classical" as a general term meaning symphonic music, has a long history and a wide variety of types. This piece is an overture, not a song. It was played at the beginning of the opera, The Barber of Seville, to give the audience little tastes of the tunes they would hear through out the Opera. Later 'Romantic period' symphonies, like those by Beethoven, were performed at concerts. His in particular are intense. Earlier music, from the 1600s (Baroque), could be for operas, church services, or events put on by the King or nobles of the country. (Handel Royal Fireworks music is a good one). The wealthy and powerful people could also commission a composer to write chamber music, something more 'background' they could hear while guests ate at a formal dinner party. This is super simplified, but you will find actual songs (arias) in opera (La Habanera from Carmen, for example), and in piano music from the later 1800s.
your comments afterwards are very thoughtful,
Excellent. Gets the heart racing at the end. 4.4 As far as classical/opera goes, I suggest "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff.
An ouverture is not a song but a piece!
Questo è l'inizio della musica moderna, questi compositori erano dei geni visionari e hanno creato sinfonie incredibili
Nice !! .... but not a patch on Jupiter by Holst ;)
Hey guys! I'm glad you're doing some classical music. This is actually my favorite genre. Classical Music is so much more than just the popular tunes and what not that people know. I hope you could jump into this world sometime. Here are some good suggestions:
(In classical music, a whole piece is kind of equivalent to an album and a "movement" is kind of equivalent to a song on an album)
Mozart - Piano Concerto #20 in d minor Movement 1
Beethoven - String quartet 7 in F Movement 2
Schubert "death and the Maiden" quartet movement 2
Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique movement 5
Chopin - "Ballade #4
Brahms - Symphony #4 4th Movement
Tchaikovsky - Symphony #1 3rd movement or Symphony #6 Movement 3
Rimsky-Korsakov - Scherhezade 2nd movement
Mahler - Symphony #7 movement 3
Barber - Overture to the School for Scandal
Ravel - Gaspard De La Nuit - 3rd Movement
Debussy - String quartet in g minor 2nd movement
Shostakovich - String Quartet 5 movement 1 or Symphony #10 movement 2
Rachmaninoff - Symphonic Dances movement 2
And then......If you're feeling especially adventurous.......
Stravinksy - Rite of Spring: Sacrificial Dance
Schoenberg: 5 Movements for Orchestra movement 1
Webern: 5 Pieces for Orchestra
Berg: 3 Pieces for Orchestra movement 3
Sibelius: Tapiola
Boulez: Repons
Bartok: String Quartet 3 movement 2
Ligeti: Piano Concerto movement 1 or Atmospheres
Scriabin - Piano Sonata #5
Schnittke - Concerto Grosso #1 2nd movement
Lutoslawski - Venetian Games
Gubaidulina 7 Words for Bayan, Cello and Strings
John Adams - Fearful Symmetries
Reich - Different Trains movement 2
Sculthorpe - Kakadu Yoshimatsu - Threnody for Toki
Takemitsu - Dream Window
I could go on. Sorry for so many suggestions, you can take them or leave them. But I am very passionate about this subject and excited for the possibilities.
I copied your list. Thanks. I'll be checking this stuff. More thanks.
Man that's an awesome list rory, thank you so much. I love the passion you have for classical music!
-JP
You omitted Verdi overtures
@@corawheeler9355 I didn't omit them.
Nice, you tried some classical!
I've been really enjoying your reactions to all sorts of stuff and I love how you try so many things and put lots of thought into it. I was excited to see you reacted to Destiny Potato since I've just started loving that album and I've been meaning to see if you've reacted to similar music since it sounded like that's more of your usual listening.
KEEP TRYING CLASSICAL!
Never mind all the snobbery around classic rock (which I say as a prog lover--just thinking of the backlash about your first Pink Floyd listen haha)--if anyone //deserves// to be snobbish, it's classical music listeners (not that they should be either!). Because the classical masters wrote with an OBJECTIVE aesthetic perfection (and that's no snobbery) that you just won't find anywhere else. Classical music is hard to enjoy //because// (at least in certain respects) it's the best. Even if rarely, if it clicks with you, you'll be literally (as in not figuratively) awe-stricken in a way no music ever has.
I could list a bunch of my personal favorites (Beethoven and Brahms are mine), and I'm not expert at all, but, thinking of what would likely be impressive and moving on first listen, if you want 1.) something exciting and engaging with brilliant development of parts, try Mozart's 40th Symphony; or, 2.) something steady that you can really sink into and contemplate, then Bach: either a.) the opening piece (the Kyrie) of his Mass in B Minor (very solemn and beautiful) or, b.) some part of his Brandenburg Concertos (light and fun and extremely intricate).
Or someone else's classical recommendation! Hope you enjoy :D
Ty Nick!
His most famous would probably be the William Tell overture. You most definitely will recognize the finale.
Enjoyed this. Thanks again guys!
Thanks YOU!
I can't stop thinking of Bugs Bunny massaging Elmer Fudd's head with his feet. 😂
Great choice today.
For more classical "metal" try Mars from The Planets by Gustav Holst (the inspiration for John Williams' music for Star Wars) czcams.com/video/L0bcRCCg01I/video.html
Woodpecker is better.
React to the second scene of the third act of "Die Walküre", right after the famous "Ride of the Valkyries". I recommend the very famous recording by Sir Georg Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic.
Welcome to classical!!! Remember that what version you pick is somewhat important. The artists can make or break the music. I like the musical suggestion of O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Orff. It's often used to invoke a Satanic mood. Short and sweet and epic! Great for beginning listeners! Music has been great for centuries...Happy Listening!
Thank you Cynthia; we'll keep that in mind!
Mozart Overture to the Magic Flute
Mozart strikes again in the movie "Shawshank Redemption." The "Duettino- Sull'aria'" from "The Marriage of Figaro" is featured prominently in the film. So beautiful and inspiring; "every last man in Shawshank felt free." czcams.com/video/Bjqmg_7J53s/video.html
Gioachino Rossini ha composto questa musica nel 1816 ........ ci sono dei passaggi musicali incredibili e immaginate le difficoltà di comporre questi capolavori senza le tecniche attuali.
I recommend that your reactions be made with live concerts, so that you can see the great activity that takes place on stage. Because to music can be tedious.
Who here has heard of "Hooked On Classics"? That is what I jammed to as a kid!
Modest Mussorgsky : pictures at an exhibition
Hector Berlioz : Carnaval Romain ' s ouverture ( my classical preference when I was five ( 1960 ) )
Richard Wagner : the flying dutchman 's ouverture
guys good reaction, as a person who grew up with rock and still do with the stones, zeppelin, pink floyd etc only classic rock i still listen to but im into classic stuff and believe me there are great classic stuff out there. my favourite composer right now to bring you guys into the modern classic now is ennio morricone who has the good the bad and ugly and other great stuff also nino rota the godfather theme and pavoratti who i love especially his early stuff. guys go into earlier stuff like puccini and verdi, wagner .
Haven't watched you before. But if you haven't listened to Mozart or Beethoven yet you need to go there & even all the way bach to Bach. Start with a utube Video excerpt - Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from the opera Nabucco. The slaves are lying exhausted 11:28 in a quarry & express their sorrow & longing.
The audience was so appreciative that they performed a second perfect performance.
@@rogerjenkinson7979 im a rocker of pink floyd, genesis, procol harem genre and i love classical music especially verdi and puccini, wagner etc . first of all chorus of the hebrew slaves from the opera nabucco is composed by verdi not bach. sorry most young people have been brainwashed with garbage like rap and hiphop and dont realize the beauty of classical music.
Hi. This work is titled "La Gazza Ladra". It's not the Barber of Seville.
That's " La gazza ladra" the " thief magpie"
As far as what to listen for, the piece is the overture (introduction) to an opera. I've never listened to the entire opera but I’m going to guess that the musical themes in the overture appear throughout the rest of the opera. You'll need others to verify that, though. The overture to Rush's 2112 comes to mind as an example.
Makes sense, thanks!
@Jaybird surprisingly, it doesn't. The idea of doing that hadn't been properly invented yet. What you get is more a reflection of the work as a whole in feel, rather than in the usage of actual whole passages.
Pete Watson-Wailes, thanks for the feedback! I don't know much about opera so I appreciate anything that I can learn about it.
Dovete sentire assolutamente La gazza ladra e il Guglielmo Tell
Heyyy i was hoping for this exact second!
This song has a effing interesting story.
If you are still doing this, I suggest the following:
Mozart Requiem
Verdi Requiem
Bach, any organ piece
Beethoven symphonies
Rossini Tenor, Baritone, or Bass Arias from his operas. Rossini was an expert at classical "rap"
Also in classical music, the music is referred as a piece not a song. Example the work you listened to in this video The Barber of Seville overture would be a piece of classical music.
El juego de la oca
As an italian i'm quite offended by the over the top stereotypical southern italian pronunciation and the random hand gestures XD
Good reaction anyway.
It's not even sout Italian it's just American and completed invented
What can you do the mother of stupid o fools (imbecil)Is always pregnant an they are Also in two...
The ouverture is beautiful but you should also listen to ''sono il factotum''
Da italiana sentir dire bugs bunny
Non so se provo più rabbia o compassione per voi.
Compassione, per certo!
The fact the you acknowledged Bugs Bunny gives me hope for your generation. 😉
Bugs did the ultimate version of this...
@@BrianR. - Indeed! >> czcams.com/video/u_zdhEIsnSE/video.html
Mad MAD props to Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese, and Carl Stalling, as well as the animation team.
- "Tell me you're stupid and uneducated without telling me you're stupid and uneducated."
- "Bugs Bunny!"
That was beautiful - the complexity, the composition, everything about it to me was magnificent. 5/5
I want to recommend a genre you haven't tried on this channel yet - DSBM. Try The Silver Flower Pt 2 by Ghost Bath. There's unexplainable beauty in the song to me. The voice is just another instrument here which adds a unique touch to the song.
Thanks nosta!
So nice. 4/5.
rossini quelle mani ve le taglierebbe
Li manderedde pure a cacare
@@stefanoquarticelli5431 cosa aspettarsi da due cafoni dalle origini incerte
Nice! Classic!
3.4 because i dont really see myself listening to this too much except for when i paint
Thanks for watching! What kind of painting do you do?
one other thing give a listen to verdis dies aria i believe from listen to it he discovered heavy metal.
I really liked this song. I love the frequent switches from major to minor, and the underlying intensity when the deep bass pattern would come in. I’d give it a 4.0 as well!
Also, try liebestraum by franz Liszt. It’s a romantic/impressionistic piano piece that is so beautiful and reflects it’s name well, which translates to “love dream.”
stiamo parlando di 207 anni fa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Esatto.
E ancora questi "crescendo" Rossiniani entusiasmano e divertono il Mondo!
I don't listen to a lot of classical music, but the Ouverture from The Barber of Seville is just GREAT, one of the few pieces of "non rock/pop/metal/whatever modern" music that I really enjoy, along with Pictures At An Exhibition by Mussorgsky (which I also recommend, particularly Ravel's orchestration).
Now it would be great to see you react to Vadrum playing this on drums: you can find the video on CZcams, it's absolutely stunning!
Glad you enjoyed it as much as us steppere!
Just cracked me up Man it's funny
For a short fun piece that will blow your mind try Chopin's Minute Waltz
Thanks!
Sure, I heard this one. Not all of it, mind you. Probably everyone is familiar with tons of classical, but not many will be able to name the piece, but rather the movie / show / commercial / game / whatever that featured it. Obviously, modern music is based on classical and the patterns and motifs are in every genre to some extent. I'm still not at that point that I would actively sit down and listen to classical. I can take instrumentals, but prefer to have some vocals. Do I like it, you ask? Yeah, it's alright.
Also, an Overture serves as a preview, giving the listener a taste of what’s to come. The very first tracks of Tommy (The Who), 2112 and Hemispheres (both by Rush) are rock appropriations of that format.
Thanks! I think I knew that, but I forgot lol.

@@jpmp1201 Useless piece of trivia - overtures (from the French "ouverture") were originally just instrumental introductions to a work, and so a secondary thing to the work itself (generally ballet or opera). As a result, they didn't yet get to the point of pulling material directly from other songs, in the way that something like the opening to Les Miserables does (as a modern example). Instead, you get musical concepts, themes, and styles from the work which get referenced. For example, you can here similar rhythmic styles at about 5:13 in your video, to Libiamo ne' lieti calici, and at 4:40ish with the melodic runs to the famous "Largo al factotum", which you'll know if you listen to it. The aim was more to reflect and introduce the work, rather than to summarise it. The overture of pieces of music doesn't really turn up until the leitmotif gets invented by Wagner.
Also, the reason you can hear verse and chorus type motifs is that the structure is, at least in part, a rondo, where a theme is stated and then returns later in the same piece.
Interestingly, the Italian term for the same concept, in the 18th century, was sinfonia, and its from that, and thus from earlier overtures than this, that the concept of the symphony evolved.
Wow!! Ok now you can do ELP doing "Fanfare For the Common Man". Or maybe, classic broadway. Maybe Les Miserables, may I suggest "Bring Him Home" by Colm Wilkerson or Alfie Boe.
One of my favorite genres of music has also been classical music. When I was a kid I remembered this song from bugs bunny lol but now that I listen to it older now it’s a really good piece of music with lovely melodies and very cool changes in the intensity aspect.
These are some of my favorite pieces.
Ballade no. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 by Frederic Chopin
Piano concerto No. 2 in C minor by Rachmaninoff
The nutcracker: Arabian dance by Tchaikovsky
Thanks Eugene for watching and your comment. Appreciate the recs as well!
react to more classical music
Technically, that is not classical music. Classical music era ended around 1800. This music is from an opera. Love it myself. Also... can never figure why people call it a song. There are no words to be sung, so it is not a song. My pet peeve.
Came back to rectify my mistake. Talking to a friend who IS an expert, despite the fact that the classical music period ended around 1800, this music followed all the structures of classical music, and therefore it is technically classical music. So, the term does not exactly apply to any time frame, as I mistakenly thought.
I give it a solid 4.2. There's a surprising amount of tonal variation while maintaining the same theme throughout. And it's just fun to listen to. I wish I could thumbs-up twice.
You guys should check out Bach's "Cello Suite in C Minor BWV 1011: 1. Prelude" performed by Edgar Meyer on double bass. It's one of my favorite classical pieces. It makes use of lots of movement and dynamics, and the double bass gives it such an interesting tone. It's like the prog rock of classical. Probably not, but that's kind of what I think when I listen to it.
There really is; thanks Preston!
Was indeed Fur Elise by Beethoven. Solid recognition! And of course, cheers for the reaction!
If you want a couple of pieces which you can directly contrast against this, it'd be worth having a listen to Otello Act IV, Introduction to the end of Ave Maria by Verdi, and Alto! Fronte! & Ei corregge ogni difetto from L'elisir d'amore by Donizetti. All are from operas, and specifically from the romantic period.
The major differences are:
1. This is an overture, and thus references parts of the overall opera, pulling different concepts and themes from the work. The Willow Song by contrast is nominally a suite of four pieces (Introduction, Era piu calmo?, Mia madre aveva una povera ancella, and Ave Maria), which form one of the great laments of 19th century music. Ei corregge on the other hand ends a comedic opera, and is the sort of light, sweet, fun thing you'd expect as such, with the sort of bombast you want.
2. The overture to Seville is the kick-off to a fun, comedic opera with no vocals, whilst The Willow Song is one of the great tragic pieces of the all opera, sung by a single voice, and Ei corregge is a full cast piece.
3. Seville is from the start of the romantic period, whilst the others are from around the end and the middle respectively, so we see the form evolving and growing through the 19th century into its final form, with a power level over 9,000. By the time we get to Otello, we've got one of the masters of the genre, at the height of his powers, creating a composition based on Shakespeare. It's about as good as it gets.
Also, if you guys want to team up when I'm over next your side of the pond to do a deep dive into something classical, give me a shout.
If you want to have a listen to The Willow Song, whether you do a reaction or not, this is a fantastic recording of the whole thing. czcams.com/video/8UccCoXQPCI/video.html
Thank you so much Pete! Appreciate all your recommendations and little facts spread throughout; helps us out a lot.

My favorite symphony music is from the movie lonesome dove the scores movie music
If you want to check out more classic music, I suggest Offenbach. Baracolle is a gorgeous duet. And The Neighbors Chorus is hilarious.
If you want to enjoy and even learn a bit more about classical AND have an entertaining ole time, then two great and fairly twisted movies to try (if you haven't already) are SHINE and A Clockwork Orange. Shine is for the piano lover in ya -a true story of musical genius with a mix of madness and A Clockwork Orange -an absolute must watch...very out there, intriguing -violence vs social control -the future as you don't want it. I know there will be a few commentators on here who will help me on that movie.
Well I'm glad you're familiar with the music and Bugs Bunny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Isn't it amazing how many classical songs you know but don't know the name of the piece. I suppose since this is a classic, a rating would have to be high so a 4.0 would be my rating. I really like Bach Cello suite 1, just love the melody. There were some modern classical pieces from movie soundtrack that I liked and found inspiring. The sound tracks from Crimson Tide and Last of the Mohican's are two of my favorites.
Manny thanks for acting your age. Yeah, just loved the snark comment at the end of this clip towards people who suggest and discuss music. Maybe a person like yourself shouldn't be doing this, because there has to be a certain level of maturity if you are hosting the show.
In regards to SA, I suggested a more melodic metal band because you obviously have difficulty with listening to metal. I suggested an album, NOT A SONG. Think about that for a moment. Do you think all all songs on an album are equal? You shit on a band you have no knowledge about because of one song. I've suggested many songs on this channel to chose from, Justin chose a song I never suggested. Which boggles the mind since you'll know I want more Rush on this channel.
The lights are off concentrate on the music meditate on the dew drop
I honestly dont understand the point of this, you claim its a reaction video, but you dim the lights, do you hate classical music? why dont you want us to see your face react to classic music?
