Les français qui cherche le sample ;) : 4:13

Cette ouverture est déjà majeure et grandiose, mais le passage Stupeflipant me donne des frissons à chaque écoute! 10 secondes d'une rare intensité!

Et tressaillez d'allégresse, car votre récompense sera grande dans le ciel...

Im coming for you. Rip...Van...Winkle... *crazed laughter*

Araki (Jojo) introduces us to groups from the 70s and 80s, Hirano (Hellsing's mangaka) introduces us to classics.

I came because of Hellsing Ultimate it's one of my favorites

Ich war psychisch krank, dieser Ouverture habe ich viel an meiner Gesundung und an meiner jetzigen Stabilität viel zu verdanken !!!

Diese Harmonien, speziell beim Hornmotiv, da könnte ich Rotz und Wasser heulen bei dieser Interpretation. Danke von Herzen!!

3:50 à partir de là j'ai des frissons ✨✨✨

I love this overture. Such a great combination of the romantic, the folk, and the creepy mysterious. Irresistable.

I, as German, of course knew this Opera before watching Hellsing...was hell of a suprise to hear it in one of my favourite Animes XD

If you're wondering about the French comments, it's about a song called "Stupeflip Vite!!!"

Simply magnificent is the beauty of this piece.

This is the clearest interpretation of the very confusing 3:30 bit, and I have looked through a lot of recordings. Great job

Восторг и восхищение ❤

It is interesting to see a discussion about the usage of this song on an anime show and how people are being directed to it from there. I would like to share what brought me here: Wikipedia: Semperoper / Bombing of Dresden The Semperoper is the opera house of the Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden.. the building is located near the Elbe River in the historic centre of Dresden, Germany... In 1945, during the last months of World War II, the building was largely destroyed again, this time by the bombing of Dresden and subsequent firestorm, leaving only the exterior shell standing. Exactly 40 years later, on 13 February 1985, the opera's reconstruction was completed... The Semperoper reopened with the opera that was performed just before the building's destruction in 1945, Carl Maria von Weber's "Der Freischütz".

Huge inspiration for Wagner who heard this when he was eight years old and had a profound influence on his later work.

R.I.P Van Winkle.

Magnífico, realmente. Este tipo de música nos faz sentir a essência das coisas.

Dopo 200 anni è ancora meravigliosa!!!

Quite the song, always enjoyed it from:🇩🇪

cand ascult invitatie la vals ma simt altfel revin la la vremurile calne si mai romantice a anilor 60 .

This piece was a turning point for me in deciding to become a composer. Still brings tear to my eyes. Nice recording.

I´ll never forget the sensation this overture brings me...this was my first opera.. =)

Mi padre Manuel me introdujo en la obra de Weber. Su creación me ha acompañado siempre y forma parte del recuerdo de mi padre que se despierta cada vez que lo escucho. Esta ópera me fascina en su totalidad

That one time when you're chilling in your captured aircraft carrier with vampire krauts while shooting up anti-ship missiles and fighter jets, then suddenly you sense Alucard coming directly into you while doing a nosedive at Mach 2.8 in a SR-71 Reconnaissance Aircraft...

I've heard of this opera before I watched Hellsing, and thought of finding it. But it was Hellsing that got me to really look for it. ;P

Der Freischutz is one of my favorite masterpieces by Carl Maria Von Weber :)

meine Heimat Dresden.klasse!wunderbar.

This is so freakin amazing Weber's Der Freischutz overture is one of my favorite masterpieces :)

Beautiful, wonderful !!! I love it

Le passage où l'on entend la clarinette me rappelle que von Weber est le seul après l'illustre Mozart à avoir composé sérieusement pour cet instrument sublime.

I have played this before, and I had so much fun playing this. Der Freischutz is one of my favorites

Que música impresionante !!

Nice reference to Mozart's 40th symphony on 3:55.

La beauté est là, dans les bois, les forêts et dans mon coeur en émoi blotti.

Playing this in my city's symphony brought me here. I had no idea it was featured in a film.

Simplemente mi favorita, magistral, genialidad por parte de Von Weber.

As a lover of Beethoven I've always had an affinity for von Weber's music. His music is probably as close to sounding like Beethoven of any other composer I've heard.

Im a huge classical music fan, being a musician myself in the orchestra genres in addition to being a huge Hellsing fan as well so this is the music I live for :D

Ich liebe dieser Musik ungemein.

I love classical music, I'm 16, whenever I've had my friends over and it's been playing they can't stand it, even the climactic parts. They can't see the light, I guess people are musically deaf to anything but modern music these days, which becomes old in a week, but classical is timeless.

THOSE HORNS IN THE BEGINNING! PURE HEAVEN!

Que belleza.

Seriously, classical music requires a wise, intellectual, sentimental mind therefore this beautiful and emotionally filled music is not just for anyone's ears. Classical music is beautiful music. Now, as for the cartoon depiction of classical music the cartoonist were keeping great music alive in the mind of kids and our society. These composers put much thought and feelings in this music that's why it's so lovely and psychologically touching.

Je tréssaille d'allégresse.

We’re playing this in my local youth orchestra at the moment, and I’m the only horn player there, which makes the horn quartet at the beginning quite interesting

Vous êtes venus pour 4:12 Remerciez moi plus tard :)

Excelente compositor, na linha de Mozart... ainda familiar por parte da mulher. Bela Música.

Stop discussing and enjoy this artistic work. Amazing.

One of the under-rated composers

Der Freischütz Prononciation du titre dans sa version originale Écouter (op. 77) est un opéra allemand en trois actes de Carl Maria von Weber, qui connut un triomphe lors de sa première le 18 juin 1821 au Königliches Schauspielhaus de Berlin. Considéré aujourd'hui comme l'un des premiers opéras romantiques avec Fidelio de Ludwig van Beethoven (1805), son livret fut écrit par le poète Johann Friedrich Kind d'après un conte populaire germanique (dans la version publiée en 1811 dans Das Gespensterbuch), et une première ébauche de Weber et d'A. de Dusch. Historique C'est lors d'un séjour en 1810 au château de Neubourg que Weber, impressionné par la récente création du Fidelio, premier (et unique) opéra de Beethoven, arrête son choix sur le conte Des Jägers Braut comme sujet d'opéra. Mais d'autres engagements l'accaparent et ce n'est qu'en 1816 qu'il demande au poète Johann Friedrich Kind d'en tirer un livret. La composition commence en juillet 1817. Créée le 18 juin 1821 à Berlin, en raison de tensions politiques à Dresde où Weber est officiellement en poste, l'œuvre rencontre un succès immédiat, qui se propage rapidement dans toute l'Europe et devient le symbole de la naissance de l'opéra romantique allemand. Parmi les nombreux artistes qui ont été influencés par Der Freischütz figure le jeune Richard Wagner, qui sera considéré par beaucoup comme le successeur de Weber. La création de la version française a lieu au théâtre de l'Odéon le 7 décembre 1824 dans une adaptation de Castil-Blaze et Thomas Sauvage - très éloignée de l'original - intitulée Robin des Bois ou les Trois Balles, et qui sera reprise régulièrement par la suite, notamment à l'Opéra-Comique le 15 janvier 1835 et au Théâtre-Lyrique le 24 janvier 1855. La création parisienne de la version originale en allemand a lieu, quant à elle, au Théâtre-Italien (salle Favart) le 14 mai 1829 par une troupe allemande qui permet au public parisien de découvrir également les deux autres chefs-d'œuvre de Weber, Euryanthe (1823) et Oberon (1826). Une deuxième version française, plus fidèle, est réalisée en 1841 par Hector Berlioz et Émilien Pacini pour l'Opéra de Paris sous le titre Le Freyschütz. Pour le ballet du deuxième acte de cette représentation, exigé par la forme « grand opéra » imposée par la « Grande Boutique », Berlioz orchestre l’Invitation à la danse de Weber, refusant d'écrire lui-même la musique de ce ballet et restant fidèle à l'écriture du compositeur du Freischütz, même si l'on y reconnaît les couleurs du « Bal » de la Symphonie fantastique. .................................................................... Der Freischütz is a three-act German opera by Carl Maria von Weber, which premiered on 18 June 1821 at the Königliches Schauspielhaus in Berlin. Considered today as one of the first romantic operas with Fidelio by Ludwig van Beethoven (1805), his libretto was written by the poet Johann Friedrich Kind after a Germanic folk tale (published in 1811 in Das Gespensterbuch) , and a first outline of Weber and A. of Dusch. Historical It was during a stay in 1810 at the castle of Neubourg that Weber, impressed by the recent creation of Fidelio, the first (and only) opera of Beethoven, decided his choice on the story Des Jägers Braut as an opera subject. But other commitments took over and it was not until 1816 that he asked the poet Johann Friedrich Kind to draw a booklet. The composition begins in July 1817. Founded on June 18, 1821 in Berlin, due to political tensions in Dresden, where Weber is officially in office, the work was immediately successful, spreading rapidly throughout Europe and becoming the symbol of the birth of the opera romantic German. Among the many artists who were influenced by Der Freischütz is the young Richard Wagner, who will be regarded by many as the successor of Weber. The creation of the French version takes place at the Théâtre de l'Odéon on December 7, 1824, in an adaptation of Castil-Blaze and Thomas Sauvage, very different from the original, entitled Robin des Bois or Les Trois Balles, in particular at the Opéra-Comique on 15 January 1835 and at the Théâtre-Lyrique on 24 January 1855. The Parisian creation of the original German version takes place at the Théâtre-Italien (Salle Favart) on 14 May 1829 by a German troupe that allows the Parisian public to discover also the other two masterpieces by Weber , Euryanthe (1823) and Oberon (1826). A second French version, more faithful, was made in 1841 by Hector Berlioz and Émilien Pacini for the Paris Opera under the title Le Freyschütz. For the ballet of the second act of this performance, required by the "grand opera" form imposed by the "Grande Boutique", Berlioz orchestrates the Weber Invitation to Dance, refusing to write the music of this ballet himself and remaining faithful to the composer's writing of the Freischütz, even if one recognizes the colors of the "Bal" of the Fantastic Symphony.

she is Rib Van Wingle??

I think he/she means that classic music is underrated and forgotten by young people nowadays. Even if there are other good musical genres, it's a shame that classics are being ignored while they are one of the most complex and expressive kinds of music out there. I'm no connoisseur, but there are a few classic tracks I really like.

200 años? Que obra maestra

4:13 Le Stupeflip Crou ne mourra Jamais !

That is such a great overture !!! I love "Der Freischuetz" by Carl Maria von Weber !!!

I can't believe I am related to him! So talented!

My homework brought me here

The 'Jaegerchorus' does rule them all :P I & my mother bought my grandparents a ticket for the performance in the Semper-Oper (the thing, which was bombed during the 2nd WW in Dresden) and she was so frigging happy.

4:13 Stupeflip vite !!!

Herzliche Geburtstagswünsche, Carl Maria...

Der Freischütz ist eine schöne Theateraufführung

Like por los que están aquí por Hellsing! Rip Van Winlkle... Ella era una lindura

That's great! Keep exploring classical music, there is something for everyone...most people think of Bach, Handel or Haydn when they think of classical music...I'm a connoisseur of the music, but even I find them boring at times as well! Most people are unaware of 20 century composers that really stepped the game up!

The thing is, this particular song was intended to be quite simple and more like patriotic since it was inspired on famous folk songs of the time. It was intended for the general public i guess and also, the french horns werent very developed at that time which meant that they could only play simple parts thus limiting the chords being used. I hope it helps!

Edgar Allan Poe brought me here. What a wonderful masterpiece.

6:15 « Stupeflip Vite » !!! 🤗❤️

Very much Wagner style. But the shocking fact is that he's the ages of Schubert. In the Beethoven era, he already created the Wagner sound.

Here because I hunt with flintlock Jäger rifles and I just happened to be out casting lead shot for one today!!! A great opera. ( One of my Jäger’s is called Annchen ;) ).

You know it's a good piece when Hellsing has it in the show.

Beginning with 3:30, i can't help myself to think about Beethoven. Sounds like a piece from his middle era.

Thanks for "enlightening" me. I'm always glad if misunderstandings are cleared up ,-)

Ces cors d'harmonie au début, c'est ça le début de l'Opéra Allemand : des Ouvertures, préludes exceptionnels !!!

muzica eterna gum numai o sclipire de geniu o pote compune

Great!

Epic opening!

04:13 c est l instru de stupeflip!!!

LE CROU NE MOURRA JAMAIS. J'vais faire un film. Ce sera citron mécanique, j'irai prôner la "super-violence" en écoutant du Weber.
