Wonderful! Congratulation to the soloist and to the orchestra !

This is what a Romanian feeling is all about !

Generaly this are played in an Hungarian style. Witch is fine, but they're Romanian!

[Mr888Garlos]

The most colorful perfermance ever made ! I love it!

[Kendayvo]

Transylvania was part of the Kingdom of Hungary. Romania got our land after WW.I. Bela Bartók was a hungarian composer.(Transylvania was a hungarian terrirotory. during the siecles IX-XX.)

[IlBardus]

[cristinavarvara]

[MrJackle7]

i prefer the solo for a violin more powefull

[NightShadeslayer]

Mandolin right?? You know, I prefer it without it actually... but it's cool :)

[natmax1]

@NightShadeslayer I'm playing it on clarinet and flute intermittently playing the mandolin parts with my small orchestra and it sounds quite good. I prefer it to the mandolin (If that's what it is)

[NightShadeslayer]

Mandolin right??

[NightShadeslayer]

What's that instrument called? The soloist.

[bailaborrachin666]

Bartók |ˈbärˌtäk; -ˌtôk|

Bartók, Béla (18811945), Hungarian composer, whose work owes much to Hungarian folk music. Notable works: Concerto for Orchestra (1943) and Duke Bluebeard's Castle (opera, 1911

[Xdohls]

Playing this in high school orchestra. Such a nice piece!

[sandorka100]

Bartók Béla is not Slovak and Romanian, he is as Hungarain as me,,,,, please do not fake again the history,,,, he was born in Erdely--- which was always part of Hungary until the 1st world war...

[diaphilm]

@sandorka100, not always part of the Kibgdom of Hungary, it was part of the Austru-Hungarian Empire, then a semi-independent state (principality) under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire. Anyway, Romanians have always been the majority there even if they were never treated equally to Magyars, Sachens or Székely.

Well, to hell with kings, politicians, let's live in peace there and dance traditional dances of all the ethnic groups. Peace!

[Degenerator1]

by "always" you mean transylvania was part of hungary from 1867 til 1919 and 1940 till 1944 . that`s a total of 56 years. wow.. what a long time.

[Mar1vs]

@sandorka100

"Erdely" wasn't ALWAYS part of Hungary... Until the tenth century we, Romanians were holding it... But, Bartok, indeed, was pure Hungarian, without any Romanian, Slovak or other heritage.

[Chromometron]

I think this should be *Romanian* Folk Dances?

[guitars2112]

Rumania is one of a few spelling variants for the country.

[dilibau]

@guitars2112 those variants exist only for ignorants...Romania has, is and always will be spelled ROmania

[Tabarostes]

Niw007 you can keep on dreaming..I do not deny Bela's work in this composition...but this was originated in transylvania long before Bella was Born..he just Brought it up and gave it to the masses. And by the way Bela....is mixed romanian/slovakian/hungarian..­..so you might say he is an European composer.

[Mariss666]

Great performance, i've never heard it on a mandoline - i think it sounds perfect! :)

[travistheman91]

dang! i got chills. very nice!

[some2see]

I've listened to this piece quite a lot and played it to on violin. But this version makes the piece that little more versitile, distinctive and very cool to listen to. What a sound!

[niw007]

Magyarkén nagyon jól eső érzés, hogy egy külföldi zenekar játsza Bartók művét, és az is jól esik, hogy sokan közületek ismerik és szeretik ezt a tételt!

As a hungarian, it feels so good, that you know and like this piece from a hungarian composer!

[coexvlad]

born in Romania

[Dospot]

born in Erdély, part of Austria-Hungary..

[coexvlad]

Sânnicolau Mare?

[Dospot]

Nagyszentmiklós, actually this pieces' original title was: Romanian folk dances from Hungary. But who cares about his nationality?

[coexvlad]

you're right

[FrankyBabes]

What kind of mandolin is that? To my mind it looks Portugese but I don't know.

[isaiahangelo]

It truly sounds like the folk music Bartok would've heard or at least been close to hearing

[Alvarordonez]

Wow!! It's an interesting version!!! I use to play this Bartók's Rumanian Folk Dances some years ago..........

[semprelegato]

this is the best interpretation i've heard with an orchestra.. i'm playing this on the piano

[mandocraz]

great great great he has introduced me to Bela Bartok as I to play a mandolin and love classical music this is one of my favorit video,s and Avi Avital has become one of my favorit mandolin players and the Metroplis Ensemble one of my favorite groups.
