The Ride of the Cossacks - Franz Waxman - Duo Tengstrand-Sun

[fireatheart]

I know the original (orchestral version) very well, and... I'm starting to prefer this one! :D

[roky24]

hi this is beatiful

were can i find the music sheet for this ver. ?

can you send me?

[WSWarthog]

Too jazzified, it destroyed the soul of the piece. It's good as an eclectic type piece but very different from the original.

[gilasny]

Awasome ... super great.

[ariafarjadi66]

The ride of Cossacks bye sweedish pianist Per Tengstrand and his wife

MUST SEE

[kedlubajz]

Thank you very much for the Prague concert Per!:)

[BudgiesFTW]

I LOVE THIS. this is so amazing! and is that a connected piano? (: cool.

[tubamirum007]

@BudgiesFTW these Pianos are only next to each other, not physically connected. The only connection point may be between the two Pianists!

[wilsondylanmccartney]

That was amazing :)

[TheWye]

UBER

[BourneArgonaut]

Very good! A good rendition of this Franz Waxman classic!

[lobogris47]

Felicidades, una gran ejecucion

[RickMHobson]

Am I seeing things, or is that -one- piano? I'm only seeing one lid up.

[Cherylee0111]

Yeah.. A piano with 2 keyboards at one side? Weird. :D;

[valencetheory]

@RickMHobson I think it's two pianos, but they removed the lid on one of the pianos. so it looks like it's just one, but it's not.

[tubamirum007]

@RickMHobson Yes, there are indeed two Pianos here. The one played by Per has the lid removed since it would face the the lid of her Piano, were it raised.

[nedland20]

What a shot in the arm. It gave me chills.

[excelseek]

A wonderful piano piece.

Captures the spirit of the film.

[meltogue]

Real Class

[willytheball]

They used this in the Movie Taras Bulba, awesome

[yamamshu]

That's other way around, willytheball. The movie was shot first and Franz Waxman composed this music for the movie. Yes, it's awesome.

[pianopat]

Hahaha! it is indeed frightening!very good job!but, there may be something to do with your hair! very stylish, but it will be a problem, one day...

[gridondesbois]

thanks to you I have discovered something really great!!

[WIGNSWORD]

The genius of Franz Waxman shines through. Why aren't piano duo arrangements more often performed?? This is fresher than orchestra!!!

[thiago1827]

OMG! o.o

[cpanati]

That certainly gets the blood roiling. A really rousing rendition. Right on.

[chengloki]

OMG, If that beautiful woman would ever be mine (Fat Chance) I would never stop her from giving beauty to the world! The only thing I would demand, don't let your hair flop in front of your face. It will cover your lovely face. Reallity check. =Stefan=

[jobicanobe]

[MercuryMay94]

AWSOME! Coolt säger bara :O Finns inte ord!

[BitFoxhound]

Bloody amazing, that guy has some really fast fingers :O

[Thomas1330]

[predoje]

[jwabacus]

Grieg's Arietta

[kedlubajz]

Impressive, this piano transcription is absolutely awesome, does anyone have the sheet of music of this? I would do anything for it:-)

[KristopherNexus]

[xocutiepatutiee]

Hej Per.

Jag vill än en gång tacka för i Steinway festivalen!

Jag längtar efter helsingborgs pianofestival! Det var otroligt lärorikt! Jag hoppas det blir något nu i sommar.

Stycket du och Shan shan spelar på den här filmen är definitivt min favorit! Jag förstår inte hur ni kan samarbeta så perfekt. Förresten vem är det som har skrivit om stycket för två pianon?

Med Bästa Hälsningar

John Zhang,

[johnj1954]

Flawless!

[Pianoman37]

Not to worry, Stefan, I had a feeling it was the woman you were writing to, haha. Thanks for your comments in any case!

[chengloki]

Pianoman, I never played the piano. I played giitar back in the '60', But never took it up, again.I joined the Navy. I was an engineer!Now, my fingers are not flexing, right. Even worse, I can no longer read music. I am more comfortable with a wrench, than with a pick. Keep making music, my friend. I no longer can! But if you wan't your aircraft to sing the skies, I can do that. AIRPLANES ARE BEAUTIFUL!! =Stefan=

[chengloki]

Bye the way, Pianoman, I'm sorry, I thought I was posting to Pianowoman. I guess that teaches me not to post after having one to many. I'm sorry if I have offended you. I still wish you "Mno Haiya Lita". =Stefan=

[eldoctordeltac]

Awesome playing and arrangement is great too!

[chengloki]

OOhh! As we say in Hawai'i, chicken skin. (Goose bumps). This was thrilling!!!=Stefan=

[XoxJulieH]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[rozinfo]

I liked that. Great piece played with commitment. Make great concert pieces without having to employ an Orchestra. I imagine they would have listened to the Waxman originals a few times to get it that cose.

[milliband]

One of the greatest pieces of movie music ever written - now if someone can upload the gathering of the Cossack scene (a great homage to Ford's Stagecoach)that this music accompanies - that would be stupedous

[norb1937]

My wife's great grandfather was a member of the cossack brotherhood. He wore a sabre and carried two pistols. He had three horses killed under him in eastern european battles sometime after the 1860s.

[Pianoman37]

Wow! Would you have any pictures of this man?

PM37

[norb1937]

There was one I saw in the 1960s. The man was tall, thin, with a big mustashe. His head was shaved and he wore a scalp lock.He had a sabre and two pistols. He also wore a bandolier of ammo crossing his chest. There was a horse standing behind him with a decorative saddle. He lived on the polish/russian border which was constantly changing. When it became russian they grabbed him at the age of 16 and put him in a cossack regiment.

[chengloki]

I really think he held her down! Also, another thought, in spite of the common beliefe, Taras was NOT Russian. He was a Ukrainian Kozak. (Not Cossack). My father was one. And I also read the book by Nikolaye Gogol, in the original language. (Ya rosomiyu po nashimo).I speak and read Ukrainian. Pianowoman, "Mno Haiya Lita", If you don't speak Ukrainian, That means, God grant you many years. I've sceen you on other videos. (Blast, you are so damned cute)!!=Stefan=

[jstrouse]

Great music. Doesn't sound quite like ethnic Cossack music, but has a cool beat.

[Pianoman37]

Thanks...I have to admit that I don't really know ethnic Cossack music, do you know anywhere one could hear that online?

[GSilverWorld]

@Pianoman37 Look at the Veoh video site for some kozak music.

[dreakfansunite]

I'm pretty sure this is slightly ethnic... it's from the Taras Bulba movie of the late 70's...it might be westernized a tad, but has many Uki undertones!

[pp312]

Taras Bulba is from 1962.

[Rob48]

coolest thing evar!

thanks

[terminator007007]

Great! So precise! and clean!

I loved the Greig Arietta opening at the beggining.

[dereczynski]

This is destined to become a classic of piano performance

The frenzied exitement of split second coordination.And

a beatiful tribute to Waxman .Thanks for posting.
