Thanks!
❤❤❤
Indeed 😊
Beautifully done!
It's 2024, 9 years after this magnificent performance.
I hope all these young people have found successful careers in music performance.❤️
Thank you for this post.
❤
Even if they didn't continue with a music oriented career, I hope they've been successful at whatever they're doing.
Meravigliosa musica meravigliosa orchestra,direzione divina
What a stunningly original and imaginative arrangement of Danse Macabre this is, a work I've heard many times but never like this. To exchange the violin solo for mallet percussion and have them play through the entire piece was a stroke of genius. They and the rest of the orchestra performed it brilliantly. Bravo!
Bravo, bravissimo
Wonderful!! Such talent! One of my favorite childhood compositions
What a marvellous piece. Oh what I’d give to have such talent to join an Orchestra like this !!! Bravo !!🙏🙏🙏
These young folk did a proper whoop-ass job on that piece "Well done" is not enough.
より骸骨の踊りに近い♪̊̈💀💀♪̆̈💀💀
All of the percussionists were wonderful - as was the whole orchestra - but the young man playing the xylophone- WOW!
stunning performance. can't stop watching it. Arrangement simply magnificent. Xylophone player ...WOW.. A big Bravo to the young musician. SO WELL DONE!
BRAVISSIMO TO ALL. LOVE IT
Replicated the sound of of rattling bones perfectly 😱
I think that is a young women.
@@bobwatson957 the xylophone player is a male. The young lady is playing the glockenspiel.
@@MrGumby385 No the xylophone is a young girl.
Poland has problems but not in musical education - simply magnificent
You're right. Look at this czcams.com/play/PLF117DE1FB55A3023.html
Poland is great!
Such much youthful talent in one spot.
Incredible
Vive la culture Européenne ! Vive la musique !
This is a repertoire where percussion instruments carry the main melodies. Thanks to these young musicians! They are talented in their teens.
I was wondering what the average age of the musicians was then. Or the age range.
15-18
@@AkademiaFilmuiTelewizji wow! Reminds me of Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Orchestra.
Thank you for pointing that out - I was so enchanted by the music that I hadn’t even noticed how young they are.
When Danse Macabre doesn't have enough skeletons, you double the marimbas!
Or xylophones
And bells and vibraphone!!
Que maravillosa versión de la Danza Macabra de Camille Saint Saens con marimbas de esta buenisima orquesta de jóvenes músicos.
La disfruté mucho y varias veces.
Felicitaciónes a quienes hacen posible escuchar así esta obra tan bella.
Or you are going to lunapark The Efteling in the Netherlands. .there you will find the ghosthouse with these terrific music
❤️🤣😂
Best version of Danse Macabre from the internet, period!
I'm having a hard time believing that people so young can play so well. I couldn't even come close to this amount of talent. One of my favorite videos.
Amen!
Many American high schools have bands and Orchestras 👀, some middle schools too
My first President was Truman. Youth can do, with training and the money needed to fund the training, most anything. Be a symphony as good as you’d like, dance like Fred and Ginger, or Barishnikov. The CZcams and Facebook moaning by people my age that nothing is good anymore irritates me. It’s out there if you seek.
As a percussionist myself, I have great respect for all of those on mallet percussion. Simply incredible 👌👌
Same with Me! I miss playing bells xylophone, marimba, vibes, and timpanis!!
It takes one to know one.😁
@@saranilsson4901 Well, get back to it then.
With being a percussionist comes great responsibility. This is my favorite.

@Mama C - Indeed! Without that 'boom' it just ain't complete!
@@stephbloch222 u d
I am percutionist
Victor, being a percussionist can't be beat?
A superb example of why to never underrate or underestimate an instrument, they all play a pivotal role in the magic. Excellent!
A good orchestra even makes crappy old rock sound awesome . 👍
Needs more COW BELL !! 😁
I Hope that every student remembers that at one time in their life they were part of such a GREAT performance and that they carry it with pride for the rest of their lives . WELL DONE !
This has to be the BEST rendition of the Danse Macabre that I've ever heard. Thank you.
Completely agree!!!
I agree!
I agree. And my previous favorite was by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, which just goes to show how good I think these young people were.
my thoughts exactly!
Concordo😊
This is the clankiest, clackiest, most downright fun performance of this piece I expect to see this side of the grave! I'd love to congratulate all the performers by name, except that I'm afraid I'd choke on my own tongue and wind up IN that grave!
Agreed! 👍🏼 My favourite performance of Dance Macabre!
Fun. Sums it up quite nicely. As the man said, Bravo!
😂🤣😂
Bravo Poland! This orchestra looks like high school students but they're playing like pros!
i hope that the guy on the end of the "xylophone" line....never stops playing... he is amazing!!!!
Wow! Their percussion section is just wonderful!
Absolutely
Wow, somebody on CZcams that knows the difference between their, they’re, and there.
@@matthewwilson9749 oh weeew
flomine hahahahaha
This gave me the chills...in a good way!
Comment ne pas rester insensible à l'écoute de ce morceau magnifiquement joué ! Ces musiciens ont enchanté mes oreilles !👏👏👏👏
Gratulacje i podziękowania za ogrom pracy i świetne wykonanie tego niesamowitego utworu dla całej orkiestry i wiodących wykonawców w tym oczywiście Pani dyrygent. Znam ten utwór znakomicie i nigdy jeszcze nie słyszałam go w takim składzie.
Nasza młodzież ma prawo czuć się dumna. SZACUN !!
Dyrygent Małgorzata Kobierska zmarła 2 lutego 2019 roku
This is undoubtedly the best orchestral performance of "Danse Macabre" I have ever seen. It sounds perfect from the first bars to the last. Fabulous!
I believe the creative path of all these young and talented musicians turned out well. They deserve it.
We are truly happy because we have the opportunity to see this magic!
Thank you very much!👏🏼❤️
Polish sound engineers are among the wonders of the world. Best ever classic music recordings since the 60's come from Poland.
Excelente interpretacion , las marimbas le dan realmente el sentido de la danza macabra felicitaciones a su directora y a los maravillos jóvenes músicos !!!!!!!!
Fantastic performance. Congratulations to everyone. Polish music schools are doing a good job indeed.
At least there is some hope for the young people in foreign countries to keep classical music alive!
Isn't it wonderful to see young people so ardent in their efforts to please us?
@@mikegross6107 Foreign countries?? What countries are foreign countries??
I suppose, technically, every country is foreign to another country until we are a truly united globalized world.
But most likely Mike was just being Gross and assuming that CZcams's just for the u.s.
dunruden I’m assuming non American or Canadian
Yes, like everyone else, I enjoyed such bravura contributed by each musician. But I was also struck by the clarity of the recorded sound, and excellent choices of video cuts 🎬from camera to camera focusing on each instrument as they took turns carrying the melody. This increased my enjoyment tremendously. The technicians making this video should also get a significant round of applause. 👏👏👏
Video Team says thank you!
Yes, the camera work is absolutely PERFECT
Great video true enough. Congrats
Первый раз услышала после исполнения и перед апплодисментами ту самую "Звучащую Паузу", когда ещё слышен отзвук последней ноты и не заглушен апплодисментами, когда исполнение записывается в вечность, а слушатели ещё не пришли в себя от восторга и их хлопательные рефлексы парализованы от услышаннаго. Такие паузы сейчас - большая редкость. Молодцы!!!
Tak...
Masz wrażliwe serce...❤
I am certain Camille Saint-Saens would be delighted
My exact thought.
So what makes it so "macabre"?
Yes I do imagine a bunch of skeletons dancing in my head but they're all look happy and it is just so nice and cute
Tritones make it offputting!
The tritone
Well, macabre just means having to do with death. If you’re imagining a bunch of skeletons, you’re answering you’re own question! :)
The spectacle is what makes it macabre. To hear skeletons dance... What it emotes. How you can't really look away
I picture Mortician Adams. Or romantic love.
Even Death can’t top that performance it is absolutely beautiful.
Polish youth orchestras are some of the best in the world. Well done !!
Five and a half years after this was published, it's GREAT. This is what "Music Education' in schools is all about. These young men and women are not only talented, but determined.
I wish here in the United States our schools were bringing back this sort of education, but unfortunately, they are not.
I am so glad that this sort of education, and these sort of students still exist somewhere on our planet.
My deepest thanks to all of you!
Middle-school~college still has music education/band in the US. When did they ever stop doing it to have a need to bring it back? Did my 7 years in school band and all of the concert/marching competitions I went to just not happen?
@@dinkledankle I don't know how old you are, when I went to school, back in the 1960's and mid 70's, music class was mandatory in elementary school, band was optional for those who played or were learning to play. Today, I don't know. I just looked up our High School, and there didn't seem to be any 'primary' music classes, just classes for those who already played or were in a band or orchestra.
But, all in all, I don't think primary school education is what it was when I was in school, so long ago.
this isn't a high school concert, this is the polish academy of music - like juliard
No. This is high school
@@AkademiaFilmuiTelewizji the name of your school is literally " the academy of film and television". the age range of the students is high school I agree, but this is not an average high school music program, this is a specialized environment. no disrespect intended to the school or students, both are absolutely amazing, I listen everyday. thank you for all of your uploads.
Appreciated by 49,000 people - disliked by 1,000 obnoxious philistines.
A superb production in EVERY respect; the playing, and the filming - and how refreshing to come across an audience who listen in total silence, and save their applause and cheers for the end - rather than thinking that the only way of showing their appreciation is to indulge in stamping, wild clapping, whistling, and screaming whilst musicians are creating beautiful music!
Vous avez absolument raison Monsieur . Respect et éducation ... et admiration ! C morceau de Camille St Sans est une bonne introduction à son œuvre .
The orchestra couldn’t have played it better. Amazing!
One can imagine the skeletons waltzing among the grave stones, listening to this arrangement. So well played by these young Stars!!!!!
I am a physics student and now computer scientist who played double bass while in school. At Uni we performed the Organ Symphony. I did my best on double bass but more often wept at the beauty of the upper strings. Although I was a science student on loan to the music department, I dedicated myself to the double bass. Saint Saens' work was the most important piece of work that I remember, 30 years later. The poco adagio and the maestoso. I am a better computer programmer than a musician, but this performance reminds me of my moments in student symphony when it really mattered to get it right. These students are performing to a level impossible to imagine in my day. The land of Frederic Chopin has therefore just begun to show us the promise of music, in these students: may they all live happy careers, and entertain and enlighten us all. Love from Kentucky.
Bloody HELL - what an amazing orchestra ... all the more so as they are all so young!

Saint-Saëns was a goth master, and this is an excellent performance. Thank you!
Formidable interprétation. les xylophonistes sont époustouflants . Que de talents chez ces jeunes ....un plaisir de les écouter et ré écouter . salutations de France.
Camille est bien mis en valeur 😉....
In all the several decades that I've played this symphony on records, tapes and CD by Saint-Saens (and even seen it performed once or twice), this is the first time seeing the percussion related instruments "do their thing". It was the kind of thing that the composer probably had in forefront of emphasizing : the bones of human skeletons roaming a cemetery (probably a large cemetery) for awhile in a dance.
Xylophone, marimba, orchestral bells & vibraphone all are complex set of musical instruments that I am enjoying more of these past few years. There is so much potential with the instruments in literally all types of music forms.
This performance of 2014 was very good. Discipline performers. For this near 70 year old man, that's good to see.
There was another performance in 2014 featuring this song.
Broken arrows 2014 marching band program titled “FaceMe” had this as the intro to their show.
I usually listen to Danse Macabre on Halloween, but all those xylophones are such a treat I'm listening to them in February!
I'm listening in March (2020) and love this version of Danse Macabre! Like you, this is one piece I always play on Halloween along with A Night On Bald Mountain! What a wonderful video!
EDIT: It's "Night On Bald Mountain", not "A Night On Bald Mountain"!
I listen to this performance probably twice a week, along with Frederika von Strada's 'Ode to the Moon' and the Flower Duet'.
By Sabine Devilhe and Marianne Crebassa (My apologies for misspelled names , but they are all wonderful!)
did you listen to it?😌
Ihope that this young orchestra is still performing tothat level. It's absolutly great.
I am used to a different orchestration, but even though I am a middle aged man, I listened and found that I actually enjoyed the different sound.
Well done, young musicians! Brava!
I loved watching the xylophone players absolutely rock out! Amazing!
Remarkable interpretation. I'm sure Saint-Saëns would have loved it. It's completely on par with the magic he infused in his pieces.
Браво! Не слышала взрыва аплодисментов, просто наверно все в растерянности и никто не ожидал вот такого роскошного уровня исполнения от совсем молодых людей. Зрители, мне кажется даже не поняли, что присутствовали при практически лучшем исполнении этого произведения. Нужно осознать и соединить то, что видишь, слышишь и понимать, что это в сущности играют дети! Конечно это фантастика и настоящее чудо! Браво - дирижёру оркестра !
And I love how animated the musicians are,really bending into their performances, just a delight to behold
Да.... ребята достойно исполнили.....я в шоке от таких молодых исполнителей!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Аплодисмен т ы ы ы !
Совершенно согласен.
Merci from France. Incroyable.
Eine große Freude diesen hingebungsvoll musiziereden jungen Menschen zuzusehen und zuzuhören. Mögen sie alle Glück und Erfolg im Beruf haben. Danke von Herzen auch an die Dirigentin und das Filmteam..
Simply stunning!
I rate this as the best version I have ever heard.🎉
This instantly became my absolute favorite version of this piece. Everything was arranged perfectly, and so amazing to be played by students! I’m so encouraged and inspired for music for the future.
It is so encouraging to see these young people making such beautiful music when we hear what is produced as today's modern music... Thank you all so much!
Bravo!
Instantly became my absolute favorite, too!
I've listened to every version I could find and this one is my favorite.
The players, especially the violins, play with such a flourish! They must love the conductor.
Bravo our young Polish musicians.Excellent work.
Ongelooflijk, zulke jonge musici en dan al zo goed en gebalanceerd spelen! Chapeau!😊
They were having so much fun! This is how life is supposed to be! Thank you for posting!
Fabulous ! This version is absolutely one of the best of Danse macabre. Saint-saens will be proud of it.
Rising from his grave, as it were.
I whole heartedly agree 100%! I listen to this version nearly everyday, just can’t get enough of this fantastic performance.
As t first i thought, xylophons and such are too loud, but than i liked this version a lot
I love how the musicians become one with the music they are playing.
just remember these are teenagers - it is wonderful
This tune is 150 years old and played like an absolute beast, by kids!
А какие потрясающие ксилофонисты,не говоря обо всем оркестре!Это действительно брависсимо!!!
Они супер....я согласна!!!!!
This made me cry. What a wonderful performance. Bravo to the lead on the mallet percussion.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
These musicians are so young and so talented! I’ve always loved this piece since I heard it as a teenager (MANY years ago) but what a fantastic fresh interpretation and so enthusiastic and captures the intent and emotion of the piece superbly. The conduction, video and sound were first class. What a showcase piece for all involved to feel pride over. How can you watch and listen to this and not feel your heart pop with pleasure at everything about it?
Полностью свами согласен
Слушаю очень часто с восхищением !.. Гениальное исполнение гениального произведения! Преклоняюсь перед дирижёром и исполнителями!.. Благодарю!
I’m a pit member at my school. Unfortunately we were quarantined, so this literally made cry...I miss playing the vibraphone, and this beautiful performance made me miss it even more. Beautifully played!!
Edward Elgar
Yes vibraphone is such a beautiful instrument! One of my favorites. I play it in jazz band :)
Extraordinaire interprétation de cet orchestre philharmonique de Varsovie ! Quel talent incroyable partagé entre tout ces jeunes musiciens fabuleux sous la houlette d’une grande chef d’orchestre . Un moment unique pour moi ce matin puisqu’aux toutes premières notes l’émotion m’a envahie , les larmes me sont montées suspendues pendant tout le chef d’œuvre de Camille Saint-Saëns pour qu’à la dernière note je m’effondre en pleurs . Le mystère de la musique sur nos émotions . Un moment exceptionnel en ce samedi , merci et un immense bravo même si c’est quelques années plus tard que cet enregistrement. J’ajoute enfin une mention spéciale à l’équipe technique pour le son d’une clarté unique ainsi que pour les images d’une grande qualité avec les différents plans de coupe notamment sur le brillant musicien au Xylophone. Une grand bravo à vous et un immense merci pour ce merveilleux travail . Grace à vous j’étais au premier rang ( virtuellement bien sûr ) 🙏🏻💖💖💖
I cant believe it. This version is completely unik. So amazing, that it takes my breath away. These young musicians play at the peak of their ability, and it is a sensation. I´ve known this music very well for over 40 years by the direction of Toscanini.
Bu this version is so different and modern, so full of craft, so dynamic. The director is very brave and with great courage. Thank you very much everybody.
My there must be some proud parents and grandparents watching this ...over ... and over again. 😄. Congratulations to all x
Piękna interpretacja, moje pozdrowienia z Chile-Ameryki. 01 grudnia 2022 r
Once again I am astounded by the capacity of young people to dedicate and discipline themselves to music. Thank you for this version of Dance Macabre.
Fantastic performance! 😍🤩
Спасибо Люди Вы прекрасны!
You have to admit that the use of the boards kind of suits the skeleton theme of the composition. Well done
And the bells tinGling.
Trawling through CZcams and I came across this production, and I really have to say how *tremendous* it was to immerse myself in the professional performance by each and every orchestra member who gave their all to this incredible piece. A seriously awesome performance. I have re-played over and over through a HQ surround system and thoroughly enjoyed this. 10/10.
An ingenious arrangement. The intensity of the musicians is striking. The conductor has brought forth a perfect performance. With others here, I shout "Bravissimo!"
Best version I have ever heard of this astounding piece
Świetna robota młodych polskich muzyków........from a proud Half-Pole.
Słucham tego od roku, czyli odkąd trafiłam na te opracowanie jest po prostu fantastyczne!!!!! Chyle czoła całej orkiestrze.
Zwykle słucham zupełnie innej muzyki, ale to wykonanie wkręciło mnie zupełnie -dzień bez niego jest dniem straconym.. :)
Me too.
Brilliant! We thought the use of the mallet percussion was a very clever choice as it made us imagine clinking, clinking bones or dancing skeletons.
Very talented young musicians and a perfect arrangement and recording.
Here in England we had a TV series called Jonathan Creek and this was the theme tune. It fitted well as it was a magician who solved mysteries for people. Brings back fond memories. 🙂🙂🙂
had to listen to it again two years later....bravo bravo bravo
Hearing this on my phone is giving me goosebumps. I wonder what would happen if I was in the audience??? Always one of my favorites ❤ ♥ 💛
I think the same everytime I listen to this piece.
I have heard this orchestration a few times, but this is the first time I could visualize skeletons dancing. Well Done!
C'est vraiment la meilleure interprétation que j'ai entendue. Bravo l'équipe des jeunes musiciens et une remarquable maitrise des xylophones.
This is a really neat arrangement that I believe Saint Säens would have really loved.
J'aime beaucoup la Danse macabre et je trouve cette interprétation absolument super 🤗🤗🤗
Таким молодым исполнителям - БРАВО!!!
wow!!!! i'm in tears over here......that was the BEST version of this i've EVER heard, seen, etc......how awesome!!!! so wonderful!!!!!
Podziwiam osobę odpowiedzialną za kanał że po 9 latach dalej odpowiada na komentarze...
Dziękuję za podziw i zapraszam do oglądania naszego kanału. Wkrótce dużo nowych nagrań z Szalonych Dni Muzyki 2023
Still amazing!
Somewhere in a corner sits a first violinist feeling rather blue LOL all kidding aside what a fantastic rendition of this piece and props to the percussionists who rarely get to be Center Stage like this
This is absolutely great! Who the hell would dislike it?
Congratulations and love from Hungary!
Idiots!
Graveyard's neighbors when the skeletons play after midnight...
Memory is such a great thing. I was given this to do a choreography to when I was studying ballet, and I can still remember it to this day, years and years later. This is such a great version, beautifully played by these young musicians
J'adore cette adaptation de la Danse macabre, je la préfère même à la version généralement jouée.
Quelle énergie et les xylophonistes sont vraiment bons
The concentration and body language shows all the work that has gone into this performance. As a Percussionist of many years standing, this is just about the best I have ever seen. SUPERB!
Une œuvre magistrale magnifiquement interprétée ici : BRAVO jeunes gens !!!
To me this is one of the best performances I have ever seen. Added to the fact that these are all young people. What a hope for the future of mankind!
What a fantastic arrangement for mallet percussion. This sets a gold standard for these instruments. Bravo!
I was spellbound! This recording moved me to tears .... and those percussionists....wow!!!!!!!!! Bravo!
same here dear Carole, and yet, it was probably not my cup of tea 8:52 minutes ago....After all I'm only french...Yet I drink chicorée instead of drinking wine !...
My favorite Saint-Saens. So beautifully played by a superbly educated orchestra. Excellent all around. And that percussion section! Countless hours of practice and coordination. So fantastic those folks. I hope they won.
Each one owned their performance
I agree with the other commenters regarding how wonderful this arrangement is. It is so refreshing to hear the percussion artists have a chance to shine like they do. I haven't found a version of Danse Macabre that I like better!
"Aux âmes bien nées, la valeur n'attend point le nombre des années." Du talent , du talent et encore du talent ...
These young people are excellent.
Danse macabre's best version ever! Amazing use of xylophones instead of violines :)
La de Venezuela es muchísimo mejor.
