Bartok speaking in English and Penderecki in German, I would never have guessed that there is a place out there somewhere to hear that ! /:)

Interview questions had a long way to go when this was recorded
-
The very first composer's voice I heard on the Internet was that of Jean Sibelius. The experience was as revelatory as hearing a gramophone for the first time. This helps us to connect to the flesh and blood human being named Bela Bartok, who once lived and worked among us. Thanks for posting this.

Incredible to hear the master' voice!!!
-
Wow! It really is like hearing the voice of a musical god before me! Nice recording quality and impressive English (to me at least), considering he wasn't the most cosmopolitan of composers. What a great teacher he would have been, though, I suppose Mikrocosmos covers the diadactic angle.

@keeelane not at all. I was using one definition of "abstract;" you were using another. both are in the dictionary.
-
@bbbartolo you missed my point
-
@keeelane To take myself as an example, in common parlance I'm called an abstract painter. This doesn't mean I don't exist, keeelane, it means my work is non-figurative, consisting of formal elements, shapes, colors, brush strokes, etc. etc. "Abstract" doesn't mean non-sensory, nor should it in music.

This is wonderful. Thank you very much for posting this. Listening to Bartok, I am reminded very much of Stravinsky - both in the voice and the wonderfully thoughtful and precise articulation of the thinking of these very great men. We tend to think of the past as somehow 'disconnected' from us in the present, but the availability of recordings such as this on the now indispensible YouTube gets rid of that feeling of disconnectedness, and makes the past live. Thank you again, very much!
