Beautifull traditional Romanian music! Thank you...

@gulabjamunn07 This is just an interpretation- a performance doesn't have to exactly match the score, unless it's a MIDI file of course.

i think there's quite a bit of improv going on here. but its nice to see an original spin on it. also, dances two and four seem a bit too fast. (unless my sheet music is different from yours!) :D

Weren't Bartok's 6 Romanian Folk Dances originally composed for violin and piano?

The touch of the butch... why all this violence?!? Bartók, Kraus, much better.

Con sconfinata ammirazione e rimpianto!

Did you get this from my usenet posting, or Operashare? I notice this has the same date as my upload. You're welcome to it, of course....but I'm just wondering.

This one, from RMCR. I thought it would make an interesting upload for those who like the pianist.

Very nice recordings.

Didn't know that Gilels also played the double-bass?

Honestly I'm not sure. I chose the picture because it's not commonly seen. If you use the cyrillic spelling of his name and search Google images you'll see the picture which is part of an article that also includes several other interesting pictures of the young swashbuckler :)
