@rebecca8525

To me, the mood of this piece isn’t pure joy and celebration; but also has a suspenseful/warning undertone in it. It seems like it is heralding a time/event that was long anticipated and everyone is optimistic, yet it later turns out to be a disappointment or disaster. It would have been an appropriate piece to play at dawn on New Year’s Day 2020.

@@rebecca8525 Interesting comment considering this piece is based on a work by Friedrich Nietzsche. Also, if you are not aware, the full piece is actually over 30 minutes long, you should listen to it sometime if you haven't, it has everything you mention in it, but does not end in disaster.

Also, the introduction you are hearing here depicts a sunrise, the low rumble of the opening measures is clearly the darkness before the dawn.

1:33 It may seem to many people that the participation of the cymbal guy is something simple and easy but I say that their participation is of extreme importance and it takes a lot of sensitivity and precision to beat the cymbal at the right time. The perfect cincronism of cymbal explosion with metals is that it puts all emotion in the end. If the beat is anticipated or delayed, it puts everything to waste. It was cold and accurate, like a sniper.

The percussionist really has to nail it with his final cymbal splash. He is up against a 75 piece orchestra and organ pulling out all the stops, pun intended.

Near the end you can see on Dudamels Face that he really enjoys it. "Damn, I love that part". :) Really great, watched the whole thing a while ago.

It's so ironic that the first thing most peoply see it's just people making music. But it's so much more. Everyone here is part of the music. Every musician has to train for years and have full control of his senses and body to create a little yet flawless part of the whole. But not only that, the writer also had to put the right pieces together and had to understand what kind of emotion it awakens. Not to forget all the thousend of years to develop the concept of music or the instruments. Not only the musicians and the audience are part of the music but also every human that was part of the creation process of the parts. By no means it is possible to "really" see what it is in the first moment.

Don't forget who inspired the piece: Frederick Nietzsche!!

I first heard this at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor in 1969 at the age of twelve watching "2001: A Space Odyssey", and I've heard it so many times since, yet it still give me chills when I listen to it.

@eliasbats9143

so lucky to having heard this for the first time during a serious/masterpiece context... I myself heard it first time in the 90s during a cheap TV commercial! it was airing every night for years! it nearly destroyed it for me!

Así habló Zarathustra, y así dirigió Dudamel, con energia, con emoción y hasta con "rabia" y esta obra sinfónica quedó espectacular ! !

This Strauss is definitely futuristic of new frontiers.

@rebecca8525

Yes, he took liberties with the dissonant chords which give it an air of suspense.

always reminds me of "2001: a space odyssey". through this film this masterpiece gained great popularity. moreover, this first segment of the whole piece was named "the sunrise" by Richard Strauss following the name of the first chapter of nietzsche's book called "also sprach Zarathustra" (yes, the title of the piece is also the title of the book).
in my opinion, Strauss couldn't have made it better in terms of making a sunrise audible. I somehow want to hear this every morning when the sun rises. it motivates me to enjoy every day.

I hate it when a brilliant piece of music is ruined by connections to a totally shit film.

@@julesroberts962 why a shit film? by saying that you show you got no idea about this piece, Nietzsche and the film. you got no idea of philosophical anthropology, the search for humanity's source, the search for the sense of life.
the American film institute declared this film the best science-fiction film of all times. it was ahead of it's time, with elements that have been copied into almost every other film, be it Wall-E, Oblivion etc.
2001: A Space Odyssey is widely regarded as among the greatest and most influential films ever made. In 1991, it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
only a cold-blooded, self-centered personality would fail to understand the meaning. you call it a shit film, so you call Nietzsche, Kubrick and Strauss a trio of stupid psychos.
