This is my favorite video on Youtube. To see footage of Bartok, my favorite composer and something of a hero to me, talking, playing and smiling is incredible. Thank you.

I knew that Bartok,by all accounts,was a fabulous pianist.But I was not aware that he knew how to smile.Only on YouTube have I ever come across images of a smiling Bartok and Rachmaninoff(of all people)!It`s official,I have now seen everything.Not that I could blame Bartok even if he had never smiled,considering all the hell he had to endure.He is my favorite composer of the 20th Century.He would be so joyous if he could see the vast appreciation that exists today for his great musical works!

@fredericfranc I think it might be true - every hungarian I've met has been a very special person - from the cab driver who used to get me to work to my piano teacher Szokolay - with whom I studied Bartok's music, even the Allegro Barbaro which Bartok plays in this clip. Bartok was a wonderful person. I studied the Hungarian language and it's wonderful to hear him speak.
He says:" It's quite hard to practise alone. Now we talk in hungarian language between each other" It's in America from 1942. There're some clips from Bartók too. This house what you can see was his home in Budapest on Gellért montain. This house's a museum of him now.
