Bartók Music For Strings, Percussion And Celesta ( II mov.)

[gfterp]

The Maestro helps the orchesta deliver a fine performance of tough music. Funny... when I conduct from my chair, in such an energitic way the auds or vids do not respond. Bravo, Brava, to listeners, everwhere. GFT

hahaha 1:06 !!! great

[Clittl15]

I love the conductor at 1:06. Priceless!

[rogiar109]

xylophone progression occurs at the intervals 1:2:3:5:8:5:3:2:1

[Db7b5]

A golden harmony. :)

[Clittl15]

Indeed!

[Stabacs]

Hey, its a celesta, not a xylophone... :P

Pizzicato section a reference to the 4th Quartet? What chair was this filmed from too?

Great performance!

[tomestubbs]

The melody is the same as movement 1. I'm not a musician and figured that out a long time ago. The rhythm is 5/8 timing. It is great! Original! It is remotely like quartet 4!

[tomestubbs]

Also the melody of the first movement!

[leinad345]

Bartok is fucking great!

E sembra assurdo ma... da quando ho iniziato ad ascoltarlo attraverso la Sua interpretazione, riesco a trovare un senso e riesco a dare le giuste dinamiche ai pezzi di Bartók... e questo mi ha aiutata a crescere tantissimo musicalmente!

Che dire... Maestro, La ringrazio tantissimo per questo!

Un carissimo saluto,

Ylenia.

Bartók allinizio è stato per me uno dei compositori che odiavo di più... non riuscivo a suonare i suoi pezzi... poi un giorno mi son presa la briga di ascoltare dei suoi brani eseguiti da varie orchestre (guidate da grandi Maestri ed è questo che fa la differenza!) e più lo ascoltavo e più mi stregava... quasi un anno fa ho beccato per caso questo video qua su Youtube... cho visto dentro lanima di un GRANDE artista a cui prima dallora non avevo mai dato il giusto peso...

The piano player's having a right dance hehe...bless! I love this piece it's awesome...fantastic example of snap pizzicato as well (for all you music geeks out there ;-) )!

[jonny7classics]

This is seems a pretty nifty pice I like it very much..thank you..

[mahvinel]

pretty close tempo, just under 138 as inidcated in the score

[bsaxagent]

it's slow, but it's really clean. good for you. And I like it when when the last C Locrian scales are played at a consistant speed and not slpwed down.

[terransage]

One of my favorite pieces, played beautifully and passionately!

[c1981]

all i can think of is star of indiana when i hear this piece lol

[tubeleonardo]

un gran peccato che non c'ero.

bravo Carlo

[LDGuy]

Nice feeling to this overall. But is the section at 3:32 really that slow? I have a CSO/Fritz Reiner recording, and there's a difference in character between the sections, but no where near that much difference in tempo.

[pacifik231]

J'avais quelques réticences par rapport au premier mouvement, mais ici, c'est parfait !

[lectocom]

This is s great performance — excellent dynamics, and good transitions between sections with different tempi. The quirky mixture of fierceness and funkiness is also well captured.

This conductor really brings out the truth that Bartok can be enormous fun to listen to.

[kobebryant0824]

Wow!! That was great!!

[dickdona]

Carlo Tenan is conducting. Who else. He posted this himself.

[dickdona]

Good one. Sometimes Bartok can be interpreted so blandly. This has feeling, movement, drama. I think this conductor knows his Bartok. Who is he. I wanna hear more from him.

[mickeymouseisdead666]

pretty good! congratulations.

[arauxos]

Hey Tenan, good conducting!!!

[kzt333]

who is conducting?

[bmalkevitch]

This is a really nice recording! It strikes just the right balance between playful and fierce!
