This is piece is traditionally a percussion showoff work. Accents would normally coincide with gestures of dancers. Rendition of percussion would depend on version of dance.

[luchoalmora]

Se nota que los integrantes son virtuosos, pero los percusionistas son un desastre, le quitan toda la belleza a la interpretación, impresionan como desafinados o fuera de contexto

[Gazpacho8]

@rosten736 You might not like it, but that is actually how the composer intended it to be played.

[Atradaitoshi]

I actually don't mind the percussionist.

[MrHopeTelevision]

drummer is drunk

[dasteufelhund]

Percussions are making some popcorns in the timpani

Алексей Михалыч немного заскучал, но первые скрипки просто гиганты, класс!

RUSSIA bravo!

[flutetime]

Armenian PHIL plays this piece much better...just because of all the musical stuff that cant be located its whats within...SPIVAKOV though a great conductor violinst his wife i tihnk is Armenian so he visists Armenia quiet often

[epicnerve]

I think the percussion is juts fine, it's just it's too loud.

[muammma]

he may had some vodka before the concert

[Valenhiem]

lol, yes!

[GotM0d]

i think the percussion thing is jsut because of the acoustic. the sound does take some time to travel...and it's such a big place...

[hootenhtn]

I do belive that the percussion is out of sync with the rest of the audio. The pecussionists work sounds right, just out of sync, which is why I believe barrett90 had some difficulty with this. If you can locate the Loris Tjeknavorian 2 CD/LP "Gayne" RCA recording, all gels into place and is more than electrifying. All other recorded performances sound weak when compared to it.

[SportzNut21]

Another good one is Khachaturian's own recording of selections from "Gayaneh" (of course, including this and the Sabre Dance), made in '62 (yes, it's stereo) with the Vienna Philharmonic, on Decca/London.

[verocaio]

non all'altezza di tale prestigiosa orchestra ........una vera cacofonia forse non ci capisco niente

[asorescu]

great piece, too bad you could not record it better to do it the favour it deserves... grateful anyhow...

[npmontgomery]

Why is the percussionist doing that? In a national orchestra?

[Elizabeth1952]

[barrett90]

Great song but the percussionist really ruins it in this performance.

[Elizabeth1952]

I think one could safely trust world-renowned conductor, Vladimir Spivakov to present a work to its greatest and most exciting advantage. Obviously the percussionist was given some artistic liberty in this interpretation. I was there -- it was fresh and utterly electrifying!

[frankibio]

in fact this is the way to play it. i have played with conductor Amayak Durgaryan (famous armenian conductor who was Khachaturian's friend) and he insists to play that way (it's a traditional dance with knives).

[Elizabeth1952]

Thank you!

[Vakant]

@frankibio
