Slavonic Dances Op. 46/7 (Dvoràk) Nino Rota Orchestra (Bari)

[Xanthophycee]

I was so happy to put a name on what had been in my mind and in my heart for so much time ! I quickly found a four-hand piano score and I played it with my teacher some years ago in front of the pupils’ parents. Of course, that was a great success, even though we made many mistakes because of the excitement ! I think this shows well Dvorak’s genius : an simple melody you immediately remember, like in his well-known ninth symphony…(Please forget my mistakes : I’m French…)

[Xanthophycee]

I love Dvorak for many years now. This is a song I always had in my mind but never knowing what it was, even though I loved it. I think I first heard it in a music theory lesson when I was younger but I'm not sure. I knew the theme by heart but I didn't know how to find what it was. What a terrible situation ! But one day, while I was with my brother playing to Civilization IV, I immediately recognized the music : after a quick search, I learnt that it was the seventh Slavonic dance by Dvorak.

Is the trombonist winking seductively at 3:17...?

[laurahobo]

i play first oboe for this. i love the opening solo :D

[Buggaton]

Anyone else remember this from an awesome old gameboy game called "Dragon Slayer"? I heard this on the Radio on Classic FM yesturday and thought "HOLY SHIT! IT'S DRAGON SLAYER!"

[tyu3456]

too bad it wasn't in civilization 5. then again, nothing was in civ 5 :/

[tandanfan]

sex in a piece.

[pianopolly]

I don't know exactly what it is, but at least one instrument is horribly out of tune. It's somewhere in the woodwinds I reckon, but I can't tell. I thought first I would just mistake it for a different sound than I know it from CD, but it's not. It's just wrong.

Otherwise it's a good performance.

[chikitani816]

@pianopolly Just sounds like it's out of tune. It's at times the bassoon, and at times, the oboe. They're in tune, its just they're alot more... "woody" than what you're probably used to hearing. It's alot more "woody" than what I'm used to hearing too, but if you ignore it, they're still in tune. It does stand out in stark contrast though.

[TheGrumpyLeprechaun]

they show the bald guy with the flute way too much in comparison to everybody else

[CivilizationFreak101]

@TheGrumpyLeprechaun THe least he could do is smile

[Sabohaque]

yay they did it

[lopsesa]

bella Esecuzione! Complimmoonti!

[CivilizationFreak101]

I dom't know what you said, but if it is a comment i agree!

[lopsesa]

it was! i said "great execution"! ; )

[CivilizationFreak101]

Not a Killing execution i hope....

[MrGizzumz]

Ahh so beautiful. My favorite Dvorak song. Thank you Civilization 4 ;)

[DarthMaximilian]

I thought I was the only one that got this from Civ 4!

[Ariedartin]

Awesome. The oboe doesn't blend in very well with the orchestra at some parts though.

[CivilizationFreak101]

thats the point

[contrafagotto]

My favourite of all the Slavonic Dances... :)))

[WhateverBoever]

I played this piece on bass clarinet at the USC Band Clinic at the University of South Carolina. I've been looking for this since february. i haven't found a recording of it until now. i absolutely love this. kudos to you

[goodguy630]

hey i played this at usc too. i was the 3rd oboe. our conductor was real cool. we really did a great performance.

[xpeson9]

superb.

[mariodona92]

sta danza è nu spettacolo

[Hattakiri]

Would've been awesome if it was included in Smash Bros. Brawl (only insiders will understand it!) *g*

[samusssbm85]

this was in civilization 4 though

[EricBassoonWii]

Yeah, slavonic dances Nr. 3, 7 ,10 and 12 were in Civ 4... great game, great music!

[HaquinusDeGothia]

>samuss[...]

... as well as in "Asterix and the magic cauldron" ((C)1986 Melbourne House)

[IchSachSieSacht]

and in Dragon Slayer (GB) :D

[Operomania]

Fantastic!

[thebiochemistry]

I think that this is the best of all the Slavonic Dances from Dvorák...perhaps only losing for the Slavonic Dance No.4, Op.42.

What I love in the works from Dvorák is his enormous influence from the national themes, from the legends and sounds from his homeland.

This Dance is great! Inspiring and, at the same time, has a little of mysterious!!

[thebiochemistry]

Oops...sorry! Slavonic Dance No.4 op.46!

[lmartyanov]

i love watching them play. it's a very different experience as opposed to just listening to the piece, although i love to do both

[ErktheEngineer]

I signed up just to post a comment on this video. I love it! Like Puddingloves, I have been looking for a while for this piece (in orchestra version). My favorite is the bald flutist; so expressive while playing but completely deadpan otherwise Haha! Thank you very much!

[Puddingloves]

wonderful! I was looking for this piece since years ago when I first heard it on the radio station. And to think that this is the only piece which is orchestral version and uploaded this year. many thanks!

[GuiZhang13]

....Wow. That's pretty darn good. I've just learned this as a duet on the piano and really enjoy playing it. Such a catchy tune :)

[Musicuss]

Non m'è piaciuta tanto la timbrica... però bene uguale

[arthurschieck]

Ai que vontade de jogar Civilization IV!

[nightwatchmanmorello]

Word up.
