PANTA RHEI - Peer Gynt Suite (Video 1)

[PaPusvagyok]

... Majd 40 éve hallottam utoljára!!!

Micsoda emlékek törnek elő!

Nagyon köszönöm!!! ;)))

[1960imi]

Azon magyar együttesek közé tartozik akik a 70-es évek közepén feldolgozásokat játszottak de perifériára szorulva alig maradt hangzó anyag . Úgy hogy köszi azon zeneszerető emberkéknek akik ezeket feltöltötték ide. :)

[N1G3L2]

'76?? damn.. pretty advanced stuff for its time

[Telebistro]

Great track! Indeed there are a lot of such gems in the former East-Bloc once hidden behind the iron curtain.

A vivid example for that is Russian prog rock band of the late 70s called HORIZONT (which is IMO one of the best prog rock bands ever).

Try for instance " Snowballs by Horizont " and you'll get a smashing example of original Soviet symphonic prog.

[adidas2859]

great prog rock track

[franklindavid]

Incredable! Edward Grieg?

[csucsu80]

Én is magyar vagyok!!!

A thing a Hungarian can be proud of!!!

[KenThule]

Yes you Hungarians can be proud of this. It was 1976. This shows talent and willingness to western culture at that time and with progressive rock. At least that is how I think this. I don't know but somehow most of the rock music from behind the iron curtain sounds like they really did not want to sound soviet. This liveliness maybe was too much for communism. Music can make people move!

[csucsu80]

R'n'R as a product of English-American culture was a forbidden fruit behind the iron curtain. It's the liveliness of denial you feel. Rock LP's were treasures here even many years after their release. If we belonged to the western block we could take part in development, but being detached we could only follow the trends with delay. R'n'R was also feared as mediator of deep thoughts and appraised problems, which are dangerous for a dictatorship. Disco as counter-culture was highly supported.

[csucsu80]

Well, we not only followed the trends, Syryus for example had all the abilities to be a leader in European progressive rock. Jackie sang in English, they reached Australia by their own effort without any official support. They were absolutely unique in line-up and music but (along with many other bands) drowned after many years of oppression by the dictatorship's musical 'leaders'. They will burn in hell! They are the killers of Bela Radics, one of the greatest guitarists in the world!

[csucsu80]

Why did you removed KenThule's comment? It contained nothing wrong! By mistake?

[kraftneu]

He must have removed his own comments, I know I haven't taken any comments off.

Hope that helps, cheers kraftneu!

[csucsu80]

Syrius I should say!

Many of their works are available here in youtube!

[nivdenhoj]

I respectfully disagree.

Great music transcends nation, religion, ideology, and all those thing imposed upon the human mind to divide humanity

[peles73]

Micsoda kincs!

[richmars]

with a better recording it would've been so impresive!

[yashil17]

1:01 IS DA BEST,

such a Scandanavian Aryan part, reminds me of nokia and Winter in Scandanavia

[bossanova3255]

Not bad! Quite surprising how they performed "Anitra's Dance", I never would have imagined that particular piece could be realized as a "fusion-rock" number! But then again all of the classical greats were considered radical in their time..., especially Beethoven & Mussorgsky.

But I'll bet a week's pay if ol' Edvard himself were alive..., he'd be jammin' too!

[yashil17]

but mostly Scandanaivian and Deutcher pieces can sound like the 70's type "fusion rock" not Russian/Greek music

[Yimbo83]

Just Amazing!!

[spankbank87]

the guitarist from panta rhei is my physics professor at johns hopkins now...interesting career change

[yashil17]

in what country?

[spankbank87]

Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland - USA

[NASENT]

Is this elp?

[kraftneu]

No, it's from a very obscure Prog rock band from Hungary called 'Panta Rhei'.

They were influenced by ELP though.

[DanielvanHarmelen]

@kraftneu panta rhei sounds more like a very dangerous cult then a rockband, but ok...

[yashil17]

i had never heared of this song before listening them here and after a month or so i've heared the first song on an azerbiagan t.v commercial

[SmokeCloudz]

Well, i thought it was kinda cool...

But the drum rythms sounds weird and messy, and even off beat sometimes.

[kraftneu]

Maybe when they recorded this, they probably did not record it as a band together in one go?, maybe the drums would have sounded better if they had played as a band I wonder.

[SchizoidXXI]

WOW! Great Band! I didn't know them! Have you heard Los Canarios - Ciclos? Los Canarios is another underated band from Spain.

Thank you for this treasure!

[thecraprap]

I love the classical peer gynt suite...and this one... I don't see why it's so bad

[spogee]

Anyone know where I can find a classical piece of Grieg's music? I have a school assignment on him.

[ninaboyarsky]

Excellent piece, I found free sheet music for it on SheetMusicFox DOT com and absolutely love it!

[repkow]

great music, imo. I was expecting the East German 70s band Panta Rhei but this is some great prog, despite socialism and all.

[talikah]

Man....why are all commments so negative? I never heard of this band, but these guys deserve more praise.. never thought such talent flourished behind the Iron Curtain! And let us remember: when the Nice did the same thing with "America", could somebody have foreseen they would also contribute to the pro revolution???

L'histoire se repète..

[kraftneu]

How is the song a disgrace, bands like ELP, Ekseption, The Nice etc etc always did Rock / Prog adaptions of Classical Music, there no offensive stuff like NO nudism, swearing or violence.

[OleivX1]

Omg. What a terrible way of disgracing Norway and it's culture! I feel sick:S Admins, please remove?

The crappiest arrangement I have ever heard. AND REMOVE THE NORWEGIAN FLAG!!

[a21gramm]

You probably never heard about Emerson, Lake & Palmer,...right ?

[345192847]

I HATE synthesisers. Grieg is a great composer, but I wouldn't call this rock music unless they would switch out that annoying synthesiser with an overdrive-effect guitar.

[fippling]

This is terrible.

[electronicpunk]

not bad at all!!!!

[kasszandra]

Why is it so difficult to understand this music which was made in the same manner as ELP´s Blue rondo a la Turk ? Pantha Rhei was a very good band with his own distinctive music. I liked them.

[missfriendlybabe]

real cool i like it its almost a remix on a classical musical peice

[powerslaves]

no they are not underrated... sounds terrible and is not tight at all!

[wladwlad]

OMFG!!! those drums are SOOOOOOOO out of rhythm ... don't like it....

[doomkokain]

suena increible

[richtomes]

Sorry but Griegs' face at around 5.20 says it all. Incredibly talented guys, but I think talent shouldn't be wasted.

[rottenotto2003]

This is Anitra's Tanse, bu Grieg

[thekiche]

i call this massacre.

[kraftneu]

Yeah I know, but what could I do, the music is dead rare!

Plus there seems no live footage of the band, mind you the music is first class.

I don't have good movie skills just basic, anyway I understand, thanks for the comments guys.

[ogogaiht]

the clip sucks, but I really enjoyed the music!

[Steinn]

Sounds like a soundtrack from an old German adult movie. Not bad at all

[darost]

quite acceptable!

[Kyoko8787]

beautiful!
