For me the 2001 A Space Odyssey movie version is by far the best version I've heard. I love this version. Makes me feel so calm and relaxed. Definitely chill out de-stress music.
Agreed, and for good reason - it is performed by The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Herbert von Karajan. I believe von Karajan's arrangement is the definitive interpretation of this magnificent piece.
Thanks for sharing this! I've just read "The Making of Kubrick's 2001", and it explains how using "The Blue Danube" was a lucky accident. The studio bosses were getting nervous that the production was taking so long and running so much over budget. So Stanley Kubrick put together a reel of some of the sequences they'd completed, so they could see his progress. The original soundtrack being written for the film wasn't available, so Kubrick put together a temporary soundtrack from some stock classical recordings. "The Blue Danube" worked so well for the space station sequence, he decided to abandon the original score and use classical music for the entire movie. Alex North, the composer Kubrick hired to score the film, didn't find out about this change until he actually saw the picture at the theatre. Needless to say, he was pretty surprised.
Clarke was definitely a genius BUT in this case, he wrote the novel based on the Kubrick script which was based in a very short story of Clarke. All the philosophical potential was absolutely given from Kubrick.
2001 is the film that opened many a teenage ear to Classical Music. I'd 'heard' it before, but after 2001 came out, I actually began to LISTEN to this great music.
Well, don't forget the impact of cartoons, too. I heard a lot of classical music watching old Warner Bros. cartoons, when I was a kid. And I can never hear the sextet from "Lucia di Lammermoor" without thinking of the Three Stooges, as well as "Back Alley Oproar".
Indeed, this is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. How did one gorgeous melody after another pour out of Strauss's mind? No one who has seen "2001: A Space Odyssey" will forget how, with one cut, they were swept from prehistoric times to a spacefaring future, and how this 100-year-old classic emphasized the breadth of our accomplishments since we'd emerged from our caves.
Man. they were able to make great movies like this back in the sixties - without the help of cgi, and today Hollywood couldn't produce a movie like this if their lives depended on it.
Maybe they could- with an unlimited budget, and Industrial Light and Magic to do the sfx, not to mention Kubrick's and Clarke's survivor's as consultants, not to mention A-list screenwriters and actors. Even then there'd be a definite chance of it being a royal bomb.
After 51 years, still the best sci-fi movie of all time. Combines history, philosophy, predictions of life in the future also. A masterpiece by the greatest director of all time, a film making genius, Stanley Kubrick. "No one, in the history of motion pictures, could craft a film better than Stanley Kubrick" - Steven Spielberg
@@toyotacorollamerchant - I do not know what you mean? '2001' aged very well and looks as good to day as when it came out in the last Century. Even George Lucas said: '2001' is the best Science Fiction movie !
This version and the docking to the space station scenes left me gobsmacked! 13 years old, we were going to the Moon, watched this with my Dad and Brother. A life-changing experience. Kubrick's choreography was perfect.
I have grown up with this since birth (2000) and whenever I listened to this as a child and still now... I usually fall asleep because its so peaceful and relaxing ..... Or....begin to search up things like stars and moon or constellations... Possibly listen to this whilst looking through my telescope in my window at night... 😊😊😊😊
I actually laughed hard while playing Elite Dangerous, after getting a docking computer for my ship. First time I set my ship to auto-dock, I'm at one of the big rotating Orbis stations and then this starts playing.
This part of the movie, the audio and video of actions together...perfection. Doesn't get any better than that. The Blue Danube, one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music ever.
Absolutely magical, every time I watch 2001 and the scene with this music plays sends shivers through me and I get goose bumps. There is just something majestic and serene about being in space and this music fits it perfect.
No film has done to me what 2001 has done to me. 2001 shuts me up. I just watch. I'll forget that I've been sitting for 5 minutes listening to heavy breathing, but I'm loving every minute of it. The shots, ideas, acting, symbols, and meaning in this movie combined to be the greatest of all time. And oh yeah, THE MUSIC.
I am not a Classical Music aficionado, but I have listened to this piece by several orchestras and none have even come close to this one, which I first listened to when I watched the move in "Cinerama" (a lot like IMAX) in 1968. The difference is the frequent changes in speed. Many make this sound like a Polka with a consistent meter. This one builds and eases. Young men. Fashion your lovemaking after this lovely waltz and you will be legendary.
Mr. Patton is exactly right; it's the variations of meter that distinguish this performance- especially in the way the orchestra ritardanto the various passages.
It rolls along perfectly from start to finish. Not a single awkward jerk in at all. Whenever I listen to this I actually feel as if im on a steamboat travelling down the Danube in perfectly still water. Majestic.
FINALLY I FOUND IT AFTER SO LONG!! I just love this beautiful price of art. I never knew the name of it, but now I finally die happy, after dancing nearly 20 minutes on the trampoline to this ;-; what I'm I doing with my life. And now I need to see this movie Well that was all I had to say.... Bye^^
After seeing 2001 A Space Odyssey when it came out in 1968, it instantly became my all-time favorite. Assuming you've seen it by now, I'd like to read what you think of it.
This is by The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert Von Karajan. Beautiful. Heard talking on radio recently, reminding us all that these waltzes were for dancing. So this was considered "dance music" of the time. A bit risque, since the partners were allowed to touch, those brazen youth.
"Contact light, the eagle has landed" - The words that solidified our species as spacefaring, we landed on a distant lonley rock, with a pretty view, of a Beautiful Blue Marble
This film has more for us to find than just watching it like casual audience,Nolan follows the same principle. These movies stand out to be unique as a visual spectacle and masterpiece.Those who say this film is boring are not looking deep into the theme, I found it boring too at first but now it all makes sense.Thank Kubrick for this valuable tressure of Cinema
people are spammed with cheap action movies and quick paced storytelling, because the Studios think this is how it should work. Then there's the CZcams mindset in there as well. Fast Food, Fast Movies... quantiy instead of quality. People were able to make this, as back in the days they had the support and backing they needed to attempt this project. I make 3D assets and i can tell you how little all the hard work is appreciated nowadays... "it's coming out of a computer" .. well, it's a craft and it can only thrive with the appreciation of others. Today, no big Studio would take the risk of making something so timeless like 2001 is. Sad but that's how it is. Only YOU can make the difference really, by appreciating works like these. :)
The Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Von Karajan is probably my favourite version of The Blue Danube, it subtly changes tempo to keep the dancers amused and on their toes at the same time. When I hear other versions they sound a little flat and one paced.
I took a first date to see 2001 A Space Odyssey in 1968 when it came out and was playing in Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. I'd heard Blue Danube many times before, but never had it been so perfectly paired with such an awe inspiring movie; still my all time favorite. Blue Danube is on my hit list, along with a variety of all genre' of music.
Johann Strauss wrote Blue Danube knowing that some day, an epic movie like 2001: a space odyssey would be produced to add several more dimensions to his magnificent music.
People are entitled to some 'edgy' banter (I mean if someone is getting offended by this, then please don't go searching the internet for "memes")? Besides that sort of comment isn't really sexist. It's clearly humorous in intent, hyperbolic while being potentially politically incorrect. All of those things are not necessarily bad and I commend him for having the ... well not courage, because no one should have to have courage to say things like this. So instead I commend him for being honest, articulate and sociable.
Coincidió por fortuna en 1969 ,se anuncian la expedición Apollo 11 y el alunizaje del primer hombre pisar la luna, y simultáneamente en salas de cine de proyectaba la película 2001 Odyssea del espacio. Su bello tema musical Así hablaba Zaratustra fue pieza fundamental para emisoras cultas de Bogotá, HJCK ya extinguida, se escuchaba en conciertos y cortinas musicales. Qué alegría volver a escucharla. Desde Holanda 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Every time I've been on a wedding and when they play this incredible masterpiece, I can't associate it with couples dancing the waltz, always think about spaceships, lack of gravity, and the moon. LOL!! Greetings from Chile!!
In watching 2001 Space Odyssey for the second time, I came to find it very unique and enjoyable. This excellent classical piece was the BEST part of the movie :) also a great piece to dance to with someone!!
I was 14 years old when I heard this music while watching the movie in the Princess Theatre in Bloomington, Indiana. I thought it had been written for the movie at the time. My introduction to classical music. Love it!
its a shame that we live in a time when people are unable to separate a masterpiece of music from whatever absurd image that accompanied it when they 1st heard it. i was lucky. When I st heard The Blue Danube Waltz it was with the music alone & not with any ridiculous image of Homer Simpson floating through space & eating potato chips, fart noises, Tom & Jerry, or anything else. BTW - this waltz was only ever used in one T&J cartoon, so I dont know what you means by "scenes" plural. Also - although Strauss did compose a song-version of this piece, it is not a "song" in the version heard here. Why do people refer to any piece of music as a "song" even with the absence of singing & lyrics?
I have watched this movie dozens of times, and this is the best musical selection of the film, though there are other great ones too. I agree with the person who said that this is one of the few where the tempo changes, making the whole thing much more engaging.
When i saw this on its anniversary a couple of years agi at an AMC special event. The theater was packed to the hilt. Mostly younger adults and teens who never saw this in its cimematic glory. 70 MM dolby surround sound Everyone was just totally spellbound.
An epic composition by a genius and an epic movie that matches it in all ways by another genius. And much respect and admiration for Arthur C. Clark, an author whose books I grew up reading.
Just got done listening to the Vienna Chamber Orchestra performing this piece live in Vienna at the Concert Hall...with the City lit up in lights..magical.."Bucket List" check mark !!!

This is NOT the recording used in the film.

When i saw this on its anniversary a couple of years agi at an AMC special event. The theater was packed to the hilt. Mostly younger adults and teens who never saw this in its cimematic glory. 70 MM dolby surround sound Everyone was just totally spellbound.
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

This is just... Divine.
i went back 3+ to see this movie just to hear this !!!! it is still my fav of all time !!
I love Strauss. Wonderful.
Beautful.
An epic composition by a genius and an epic movie that matches it in all ways by another genius. And much respect and admiration for Arthur C. Clark, an author whose books I grew up reading.
this movie and this music is so magnificent and inspiring
No piece of classical music could've been better suited..
The right music and Kubrick can make a dude asleep in what amounts to a long plane ride amazing.
Makes me want to dance.... gives wings to my soul!
Just got done listening to the Vienna Chamber Orchestra performing this piece live in Vienna at the Concert Hall...with the City lit up in lights..magical.."Bucket List" check mark !!!
Listening to this whilst studying is pure enlightment!
one of the very few pieces of music that make you feel you are in outer space. :)
