Khatchaturian - Masquerade Suite - Waltz

[MistyK74525]

Whyyyyy does this remind me of a dark and passionate waltz between Mortisha and Gomez Addams?

[misszalferrari]

playing this in school orchestra, soooo much fun!!!!

[tonychopper2]

any recommendations for pieces that are as eerie and magical as this one

i particularly love waltz

[DaDuckful]

@tonychopper2 Finlandia by Sibelius

[tonychopper2]

@DaDuckful interesting piece

but i mean something darker

or perhaps other eerie waltzes such as this one

[1codcod]

@tadwight30 Oh Well, it's personal. ok (Y)

[rose7art]

I've listened to this song a thousand times and i still get goosebumps when i listen to it :)

[grofys]

i hate the sabre dance, but love this.

[1codcod]

@grofys

hahahahaha How you can hate the sabre dance? xD

it's a master piece of Aram x3

[elbaclar]

Me encanta :D

[cynizmsarkazmorgazm]

Stunning, magnificent piece...

[gurriata]

I'll like to dance this piece in my wedding day. Beauty, strong, armony. I like it, definitively.

[barkingtree88]

This piece helped me a lot when I did math homework.

[leobluesy]

A brilliant piece of composing......... I love the photograph too... perfect match

[caitididwhat123]

My high school orchestra played this last year for state auditions and it was so much fun. i love creepy songs like this, they are always a blast to play.

[redshoes211]

I love this piece of music I will play it again and again brilliant

[NefiiGirly]

My ballet class used this song for our performance. It was soo cool :D

[Jeongmoonpyung]

trez bian.... jouer au masquerdel...

[ecclaed]

A piece that must be played at full volume.

[Q2Mars]

so beautiful..you can really feel the emotion in it

[lillyiicee]

la prenderò come musica di pattinaggio per il short programm della prossia stagione♥

[clumsygirlboy]

mao use this song!! love it.

[gurriata]

Maravilloso. Te lleva.

[BeautytifulTina]

marvelousss!!!! listening to this all day

btw, mao asada's sp is just breathtaking. :) although it is a bit overwhelming for her. I heard that Tarasova was to use this music for Kwan but she retired. Kwan, masquerade...goddddd....i can't imagine how magnificent that would be!

[michellequeen1980]

@BeautytifulTina really? you're right... It could be gorgeous program. But Asada skated very well too :)

[ravenfire1313]

We're using this for our ballet recital this year; we'll have masks and everything :) I got pretty excited when I heard it on the Olympics, hah.

[lakuramoon]

Yes!!!! i saw the olimpics toooo !!!! I love Mao Asada!!! She's the best!!! And she choosed a good piece!

[Atalandi323]

very very nice!!!

[ucsb1969]

Saw the female Ice skater rom Japan at the Olymics skating tothis music... had to find out what it was... so mezmerizing... sounds like the sound of beautiful madness approachiing... I think the Japanese skater should have had top scores BTW... lol

[novellover1]

just wow!!!

[sixboss]

spectacular!

[sogrom]

marvelous!!!

[maxemiliano]

where do u get the music from ??

[freckleface221]

We just received the music for this today. I'm so excited! This sounds beyond amazing!

[bag3lmonst3r]

oh no! it's a little too fast! :(

[MarNorMi]

The waltz is of course a peach to make your mouth water , but particularly: this recording / uploading is of extraordinary quality, lovely deep bass on my Mac, no metallic sound.

[x13MrsGerardWay13x]

My high school orchestra is doing this song! After the first time I heard this I loved it and couldn't wait to get it perfected! I play the 1st violin [A] part, and it's extremely fun.

[kleris100]

coś cudownego

[oldmalvernian1]

If you want this and 14 other all-time favorite Russian ballet highlights they're all to be found on "Ballet Russes" . A Virgin Classic CD conducted by Paavo Jarvi. As bigluca66 says if you like this you'll love Shostakovich's Jazz Suite Waltz No. 2. It also has the only version of "Dance of the Nights" where you can distinguish all of Prokofiev's minute changes to trombone notes throughout the omnipresent pounding bass background. Which never palls - even after a thousand hearings.

[XieYali]

I would give my left nut to play this piece!

And I'm a girl. ;)

[jaraha]

oh. my. god!

[gandaf00o7]

@XieYali

I have played this piece, and I never had to give up any testicles. Really fun to play.

[GeneralPaccepa]

@XieYali OMG! OMG! Omg! omg1! A giiirl? Woooow!

[SmallieM]

@XieYali , give me the one on the right and I'll teach you.

[Druond]

@XieYali LOL AHAHA

[LoGjustin]

@XieYali You're a girl and you have nuts? What the fuck.

[MegaAznboii]

@XieYali soo why dont you play it?? its not hard at all

[bukovoima]

You cannot describe something that says this much without words verbally. It just penetrates your mind and stays there, goddamn period.

[FantasmaLuna]

How charming!

[improvvisamente1]

so dramatic and powerful...I love it!

[madelain1309]

piękna !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gatouladana]

the best song ever...

super pesnya ya vlyublena v etu pesnyu :X:X:X:X

[narutosramenbuddy]

i adore this piece!

can anyone give me a recommendation for any similar?

[bigluca66]

jazz suite - walz n 2

shostakovich

[No1ZmeskalFan]

Another piece I love is Montaques and Capulets Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev.....its another very Dramatic piece like this one

[dancingluar]

beautiful song!!!!!

amazing waltz!!!!!!

[totallyfilipsy]

Amazing....I can play this you know :))..on piano

[arkariansgirl]

ooh Beautiful!!! I can imagine it now

[marius11031948]

het mooiste klassieke werk dat ik ken, al ben ik geen allround classicfan. en deze mooie video (plaat), maakt me lyrisch !

[nkklug88]

it it viennese waltz!

[persianprincess96]

what kind of waltz would go with this, though? lol it'd have to be a really fast one... or does like one waltz work for every waltz song? erm... humm... well anyway i don't know much about waltzing DON'T KILL ME! AHHH

[QueenAnnesFury]

Perhaps a Viennese Waltz

[persianprincess96]

i love this song! i feel like it's laughing at me in a way!

[xicancino]

Maravilloso, tiene la fuerza , la pasión y el sentimiento del autor.

[atralfalgar]

So beatiful ! I love it =)

[vuksat]

mislim da je ovo idealna pesma da se svira na vencanju,u isto vreme je elegnatna i prefinjena a nije snobovska...predstavlja spoj elengacije,starog ali i klasicnog u isto vreme..uvek je dovoljno popularna a nikad dovoljno izvodjena...pesma koja zasluzuje da bude pecat jednog finog vencanja...

[lordofmorgul]

well thank you! :P

[izgrejala1412]

A Masterpiece!!!!

[lordofmorgul]

awesome! i'm trying to convince my gf to make this waltz our wedding dance. anyone wanna help? :D

[Violetta612]

by all means, you should dance this waltz at your wedding. It is beautiful... every time I hear I have to dance... it is absolutely divine, you will remember it forever

[TinSlim]

That would be really difficult, but really impressive! It's so fast!

[lordofmorgul]

i know, but practice makes it.... well not perfect, but bareable (:

[marilynnblock]

If you love this piece, watch youtube video of Russian skaters: "Klimova & Ponomarenko Masquerade Valtz 1993." Elegant harmony.

[TheThirdHeat1306]

When i hear this piece I think of a king who is watching people dance, while people are getting in position to assassinate him. Why assassination i don't know but it seemed like it fit the mood:)

[see3Dsee]

i felt the same too when i first listened this song !

[SanMagico]

and they say that perfection does not exist

[OJfoos]

ahh yes! my orchestra is playing this next year. ITS So dramatically sinister. i love it.

[onasafnhoj]

alyssa?

[karattop71]

HEY ISSS JOHN FASANO

[onasafnhoj]

jackson?

[TheSerbianFighter]

perfect!!!

[timberwolflonewolf]

here in chihuahua's orchesta i was playing the entire suite but ith the alert of that dammed flu (or whatever) i cant go out of my on house to the music school (dammit chinese pigs)

[SternMann93]

I played this with my orchestra yesterday.

[lovergfs4ever]

is it difficult?

[notanyoneyouknow]

Hahahaha. My orchestra conductor had people waltz while we were playing this during rehearsal.

[Armenia4You]

Great Armenian composer!!!

[ramdar42]

Thank you. I'd forgotten how nice this piece is. Believe I first heard as a child near the Seattle Space Needle (music accompanied synchronized water fountains) - wonder if that is still there?

[perla51]

Marvellous,stupendous!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!  Perla.

[Supergungun]

Long Live the Czar of Russia!

[BravaEncore]

What has czar of Russia (which one, btw) has to do with the music of a Soviet composer, Armenian , who grew up in Tbilisi, Georgia ?????

[wattever333]

what has the csar to do with anything?

[matthewdc1]

I played that in an orchestra, it's shit easy

[SUNIBERUSU]

真央ちゃんのフリーではじめて知りました*

今ではお気に入りの曲です♪♪

[danhimtr]

this is just an amazing piece!!

[Yolandaria]

Fantastic. ......thanks:))

[theNDNartist]

this is perfect balance of spirit and mood and energy...dance everyone dance!!!

[hjmcmaster]

yes, dance!

[jandm777]

i love this music. it is one of my favorites

[2012Ronpaul2012]

awesome stuff. In fact its beyond awesome! So powerful!

[gavaness]

Don't know about this recording. In 1975 (or 76?) I went to K's concert in Albert Hall, London with LSO. EMI/HMV recorded and released some of his works around that time. It is probably among the best that there is. "K conducting K". It doesn't get much more original than that.

[anjulirobin]

Excellent version!!

[ggggtgtg]

we're using this for a ballet at my ballet school. It very captivating to dance to. You really want to throw yourself in the movement and exaggerate (spelled that wrong) everyting. Its perfect for what we're doing. its a circus kind of thing.

[controversiaster]

Spelt right!!

[UfoPrzylecialo]

I'm cellist in my school orchestra and I think it was the most beautiful music I have ever play with orchestra ; )

[philipattwood]

It reminds me of the sublime decadence of Tsarist Russia, however, it written in 1944 by Aram Il'yich Khachaturian, who is probably more famous for his ballet 'Spartacus' (the main theme better known to those from the UK as the theme tune to the 'Onedin Line'), written in 1956.

[ellepelleelle]

except that Aram K. is not Russian, but an Armenian.

[jmahrky]

luve this song, first time i heard it is from an ice dancing couple krylova/Ovsyannikov of russia and now mao asada, fanstic stuff:)

[utubesatellite]

Please tell me

who is the conductor and orchestra of this music

[mhomel]

Fantastic. Was used for Mao Asada's performance.

[Majeczka1503]

When I hear this song i see movie "War and peace" form 2006

[badbrain88]

i see eyes wide shut

[touchogrey]

Was this in the film Eyes Wide Shut?

[diddeliduddi]

I believe you mean the Shostakovich piece

[Pertsh123]

this is Khachaturian

[Radculas]

There's something ellegant and wild about this song and I really love it!!!

[swollenknees]

Beautiful Armenian music.  My favorite piece by far. Jan Aram

[muttonsword]

it has such a haunting yet calming feel to it. an absolute brilliance to it.

[NationalFool33]

I played this piece in an orchestra at a music camp, you have no idea how amazing it feels to be play this piece... It moves you, and you can feel it.

It's got to be one of my favourite pieces..

[rossman181]

nmc?!

[NationalFool33]

NMC (Y)

[rossman181]

:O NMC forever! i loved this song, GO SECOND BASSOON :P what section were you in?

[NationalFool33]

I was in the bass section :) (as in string bass, not generally low-pitched intruments section)

[kamranii]

The director of the next film adaptation of Anna Karenina should definitely consider this piece for the ball scene.

[DiVeronica]

HOLY GOD, i believe this may have knocked out a Tchaikovsky piece, for my all time favorite piece of music ever. I love you bachnertrpt.

[demonking07024]

when i hear this i think of think of 2 ppl of royal decendence(european) who come from 2 totaly opposite families coming together to dance in a ballroom whilst everybody watches

from both families shocking everyone

[jolololo13]

magnifique

[jMSmGebhardt]

God I love this song. Personally it reminds me of some royal king's power being destroyed by some unknown opposing force.

[iluvqotsaforever]

I absolutely love this piece. For me it is like the story of some old woman that use to be young and her past destroyed her or something.
