Bartok - Rumanian Folkdance

[shinnster0101]

awesome video

[alciefrederic]

I've been wondering why the 4th Dance doesn't use the horn. Its name is Horn Dance after all.

[Tikable07]

i loveeeee this...especially the joc cu bata :)

[0casteloencantado0]

the second is my favourite.

[zyle1972]

WOW, finally a great orchestra version of this incredible piece. Excellent!!!!

[poserskill]

Solti's offers the most authentic interpretation of Bartok, of course.

[Karebear562]

I am completely head over heels in love with this piece, i especially like this version

[RatedPi]

I hate playing the Pe Loc, but I LOVE how it sounds.

[ashokheble]

Firstly the composition is great and conducted deftly by George Solti. This piece of music creates a vivid picture of the Dance as if actually viewed by .you

[marilalla1]

straordinario struggente una musica che ti pervade l'animo, che genio bela bartok e che esecuzione orchestra magnifica

[ikedayo]

And, could someone tell me in which year the performance was conducted?

何年に演奏されたかご存知の方、いらっしゃったらお教え願います­！

[ikedayo]

Couldn't stop shedding tears as I listened to the very beginning part. Bartók is absolutely not to mention a genius composer. Performance itself was also great.

[satezzo]

なんと美しいショルティのオケ版！紹介ありがとう

[mubald]

Bartok composed these pieces or he arranged popular music for classical orchestra?

[dnyhouse1]

@mubald

Both

[Amadeus4ever]

Grandissimo Solti!!!!!!!

[NightShadeslayer]

Thank you :) this version is really out of the many on youtube.

[Willam1996]

lol at 2:23 look at he's hair :D :D

[yokotheleaf]

ルーマニア民族舞曲の素晴らしい演奏が聴けて嬉しいです。



[paulcatalin]

I am romanian , and i'm a violinist, i played this thousand times.

[AntonTsjechov]

Someone asked which orchestra this is. I'm pretty sure that the venue is the Musikvereinssaal in Vienna, with those caryatids and the low red balconies. Since there is no woman to be found in the orchestra it could well be the Wiener Philharmoniker -- they hired their first woman in '97 (the year Solti died, by the way).

[ikedayo]

@AntonTsjechov Thanks for the nice info!

[ogeidnamzug]

Brilliant interpretation!

[TheFenoa]

Captivating performance, it is so fantastic!

[matewboss010]

who is rumanian?

[mubald]

Thid Bartok compose this piece or he arranged for symphonical orchestra a popular folk theme of others?

[VI1988TU]

Its a fucking great piece!!! I will try to arrange it for a very strange combination of instruments!

[MaievZabuldizhnaya]

After hearing such a music I rush to piano for saving at least a small piece of such a geniousness in me...

[dertuy]

Solti is genius...

[merachelanne]

myyyyy goodness this is the first time I've heard this not played as a student violin solo (the entire picolo bit is done with wierd artificial harmonics) here i went through life thinking bartok went through an emotional trauma or something that made him temporarily an idiot while writing this piece

[droxyy]

This conductor looks liek he is having a blast.

[hectorfprez]

And you seem a motherfucker ignorant...

[droxyy]

I may seem ignorant honey, but I am not. Perhaps you ought to just have a tiny consideration that all of us are not typing wizards nor really care siince this is utube, and is not needing my proffesional level of scrutiny. For someome classifingy me as ignorant, you should try expanding your vocabulary. Mothref***er is not used by classy people, but by slime we call trolls. Grow up hon. El Burro sabe mas que tu.

[hectorfprez]

Yo te podria contestar en la lengua de Cervantes o enla de Shakespeare, con estilo y vocabulario acertado, podria asi dimensionar tu falta de respeto a quien a sido, uno de los mas grandes directores del pasado siglo, pero, el pajaro nunca se para a cantar en rama que no da flor...

[lushiopx]

@hectorfprez tu falta de respeto a quien HA sido...

[hectorfprez]

@droxyy Precisamente, soy apodado el burro por el tamaño de mi pene (19 x 5)

[rualiv]

bravo!!!!!!

[nightgoat99]

Bartok rules! Solti rules! Solti conducting Bartok is insane!

[claudionavidad]

Does someone know where and when was the concert taking place? I am trying to find it on DVD but I've been unlucky so far! Thanks,C

[operafan85]

The tomb of Maestro Solti is next to Bartók's one in Budapest at the Farkasréti cemetery.

It was Solti's wish to be buried next to Bartók.

The hungarian genius was the teacher of the great conductor.

[1grandmajoyce]

Magnificent!

[Confarius]

A most pleasing performance by maestro Georg Solti, indeed. Upon my first hearing of these dances, several of these pieces reminded me of several of Edvard Grieg's pieces, such as "Anitra's Dance" from "Peer Gynt Suite no 1," and his "Norwegian Folk Songs and Dances." And I liked how through movements VI and VII he stirred up energy into the chamber orchestra. A highly spirited performance!

[19793010]

kedves magyar-olasz allampolgarsagu, osztrak es jaszkun-magyar eredetu baratom! ha szamodra szomoru, hogy ezt nekem gyujtotte ( es nem Tuk, mert te bizonyara nem voltal ott ) Bartok Bela, akkor ROMAI KATOLIKUS MEGBOCSATO LELEK LETEDRE viseld mely es tiszta szivbol jovo megvetesemet.

Udvozollek Nagyvaradrol.Grosswardein neked. vagy Oradea a terkepen. Olaszul is Oradea.

[blerocs]

Mindenkinek :-)

[Bearingz]

I love these so much! My Uni orchestra did the Romanian Dances last year and it's so moving to play. Thank you so much for posting this professional version! My favourite is movement 4! :O But then again it depends what mood I'm in when I'm listening to them ;) Each movement has it's own character! :o

[sitesnk]

Thats Solti and VPO!

No one is as excellent as they are!

[settiklavio]

Grande Maestro!!

[3479075]

Voilá! 20th Century Genius: Bartók&Solti.... marvellous, incredible duo...

[operafan85]

what a roduction... Bartók-Solti - Wiener Philharmoniker...

[squidavenger]

This piece has some good and energetic parts in it. It's quite good.

[MartaBtrp]

Bartok is genius...

[dividesbyzero]

haha did anyone else

notice the video and audio

are out of sync?

[jonny7classics]

This is a really great piece..thankyou for posting it

[bubussettete1]

I played last year with my orchestra...I love these dances!

[dataznboieman]

im playing this in my youth symphony this year

[CorgiGirl18]

I played it in my youth symphony too a few years ago. We skipped the second and third movements though. I think it was because all of the experienced wind players were doing marching band that semester.

[umesanajajca]

we played this with mandolin orchestra. it might sonds crazy but it is actually really nice.

[TheAltoClef]

when we performed this a few years ago, we had 1 viola, 2 cellos, 1 double bass, and a large bunch of violins. how's that for balance? haha

[mmooooooo]

beautiful timbres! anyone know whose orchestration it is? really tasteful woodwind and string combinations.

[ThaSchwab]

Bartok orchestrated it.

[ThaSchwab]

Fantastic piccolo soloist.

[conventionalspoon]

BOOKAH!

[yosoyaca]

Esperaba mas de ellos!

[PianoClassique]

C'est très bien mais peut être un peu trop "classique" et pas assez "ROUMAIN"

[13243546abcdef]

they also deserved a louder applause at the end...

[13243546abcdef]

go first violinist. i wish i could play like that... mine just sounds screechy and i run out of bow till it falls

[ChopinARG]

VERY NICE PERFORMANCE!

[arbro1986]

[GISELLAHAI]

[flaquio]

[hellskitchen123]
