Icarus, you should enjoy this one as well. It's Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela in Danzon Number 2 by Marquez.

Thank you Hermes.  Yes I did like that. I liked because it is a near certainty that the young musicians were able to express themselves so beautifully. Who knew that a nation as poor and unfortunate as Venezuela could spawn such marvelous talent.  That is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. A nation that is currently in need of such basics as toilet paper, still has the capacity for high achievement. Dudamel is a prime mover and a passionate conductor.

I am a flash mob junkie because I see so many talented people do their thing in a public forum that invariably brings pleasure and even emotion to the witnesses at the scene.  The scenes are  spread over much of the earth in places like Taiwan, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Israel, Italy, North and South  America, Spain, Korea, Russia, and everywhere else except for the Islamic nations. I have never found a flash mob vid of people in an Islamic country.

Music can soothe the savage beast. What a shame that it is not popular in those nations that forbid it. Helmut Lotti has even taken his music to the darkest regions of Africa where it was well received by most, but not by the Islamic breeds. I weep for the ones who can not be permitted to experience the magnificence of harmonious, melodic, and human passion of music.

Never mind, I am on  one of my philosophic kicks.

I also like this one:


And then I felt like listening to this one for some reason:


And I still really like this one:

Listening to their music makes me want to learn the piano.

After the recent superheated exchanges at HAF I think we all need to chill with Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.

Dragonia's contribution  is way out there on the edge.  Makes me think of trippin' on LSD or an extreme over abundance of  high octane saki.

Hermes vid is more than music.  Observe the facial expressions of the lady flutist. ( sp...flautist?) The lady oboeist  is paying close attention to the conductor.  The entire orchestras appears to be transported to some special place. Their facial expression suggests that. Passionate, or maybe that is what the Danes do or feel.

I can imagine the Debussey prelude overlaid onto the strange Asian vid from Dragonia.
