Spiffy: Classical music abounding on YouTube
When thinking of YouTube, it never occurred to me that it'd be a nifty source of orchestral music performances. I was searching for Dvořák's Slavonic Dances in the iLike Facebook app, and lo, it returned video results! What an absolute delight!So, here are just a few of my fave orchestral/classical music videos I've found on YouTube. Share and enjoy!
Smetana Ma Vlast Moldau Kubelik Czech 1990 (2)
Such an achingly beautiful, soaring piece. :::happy sigh:::
Pilsner Urquell - Bedřich Smetana -Má vlast Vlatava (Moldau)
OK, it's a commercial, but it's one of the most clever ones I've ever seen! Freakin' hilarious!
The Great Gate of Kiev - Modest Mussorgsky
This movement is part of Pictures at an Exhibition, and it's my fave out of the entire piece. Moves me to tears every time I hear it. Such beauty!
Smetana "Prodaná nevěsta (The bartered bride)" Overture
There's a reason why this piece has become a Czech national institution.
Sakari Oramo conducts "Finlandia"
You just can't listen to this and remain unmoved. Awesome-tastical.
