Glinka: Ruslan and Ludmila - Overture (Benjamin Zander, Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra)

Ah~ Boston Phil! How long have I missed you!

The young musicians are superb, the old conductor is younger than many of his age.

This is the passion and commitment you can get from the Youth Orchestra only

All I say is WOW!Bravo!!!!!!

MOM!

Thanks to John Finnemore for Cabin Pressure, which introduced this piece to me. 😅😅

Amazing and wonderful! It took me a moment to realize that this is the Boston Philharmonic Youth orchestra and not the Boston Philharmonic! Wonderful playing.

Mom brought me here 😂🎉

This is the tv show mom theme song

I am playing Glinka in an orchestra, I am a bassist, I can confirm that the pure joy this brings me when I play is is impossible to fathom

My junior high all county (7th-8th grade) played this and it was a lot of crying practicing 🥲

why speed up the video?

🤯🤯🤯 💯 🔥

I'll watch this every day.

Perfect

Well done boys and girls - well played. Greetings from Russia.

A wonderful performance! Absolutely thrilling to listen to.

Wow!

Bravo!!!

One of the glorious pieces of music,great performance by the orchestra

The energy, the expression of joy on the players' faces, and that gem of music educator as a conductor -- what a great mixture.

I heard this song on All That.

שיר מאוד נחמד

little much to conduct this in two I think

Just wonderful🙏

Zander is an incredible man to behold. He is in his moment and there's probably no better place he'd prefer. These young people with so much enthusiasm and determination, bring feelings of hope and goodness back to me I thought I had lost long ago. Bravo to you amazingly talented and courageous youth! You are the breath of life.

Mom anyone?

What an impressive performance by a youth orchestra. Great job.

This is making me so very happy right now.

Mozart would have liked this ouverture so much

Very sharp and crisp. Nicely done

Exciting performance!! Better than the adult ones!! Clear, ringing, and with great tone :)

Bravooooooooooooooooooooooo Maestro Zonder,you create with this young group a fantastic energy.If Glinka would be in life, he would be HAPPY to see your work.Thank you !!!!!!!!!!

Cabin pressure?

My God did they nail that! Fantastic performance. Timpani dynamic perfect throughout.
Be proud girls & guys. You should be.

This version kicks ass! 👏

I just discovered this guy, while searching for a crisp version of the R & L overture. My lands, this chap blows the doors off the hinges! Lovin every minute of it.

Very poor camera work. If it is a youth symphony why do you mostly show the old man? Musically excellent, though. I wished to show it to high school students, but how could you motivate them with this shoddy video.

Too fast. The woodwinds can’t keep up. Outa time boys and girls

A beautiful piece of music! Come fly the friendly skies.

one of the greatest conductors of our time...he made these kids sound like Berlin Phil!!

And here, all this time, I thought Fritz & the CSOs were my favorite recording. Bravissimo to Zander and the Yutes.

Music can speak all the languages in the world

Блескуче, краще виконання

Superb!

When this began, I felt a thrill that lasted throughout!!
Zander is a genius, a treasure and a magician.

Must be Burling day at MJN Air.

The best part is how many of the players have tiny smiles while playing - you just know they know they are crushing it
