In all honesty I listened to dozens different versions of this classic, many done under way better conductors, yet I still come back to this one as it seems to be one of the best on YT... Something about the smooth yet unyielding approach here just cannot be undone.
I totally agree…the way he separates the different instruments then brings them all together in an amazing crescendo is just mesmerising…it’s the best version out there 💯
My Daddy passed away on March 27th. This day has been most difficult for me being the first Father's day without him. This song was his ultimate favorite and we played it for him over and over again in his last cpl days before his passed. My Niece has video of him "conducting" the orchestra as he lay in his dying bed. Growung up we would come home from school or playing outside and he would always be seated with headphones on, listening to opera and this song and "air conducting" the orchestra. 😢 what a beautiful memory of many I have of him. R.I.P. Daddy. Miss you so very much!! Love you so much. Life is so empty without you in it.
Andre Ruie is THE BEST Conducter For Ravel's Bolero that i have EVER SEEN.I'am 69 years YOUNG and He and his orchestra are THE BEST performing this .THANK you from California
+Tina Workman Of Course Andre Rieu get the attention of the people. He bring the people to the music, especially people not fanatic of classic music. If you want the Ravel Bolero in the classic version, have to listen to Gustavo DUdamel conducting the Berlin Simphonyc Orchestra. Majestic sound. By other way, I thing Andre Riou is a fantastic musician to take the music to the people. Their concerts, mixing popular and some selected music are great.
It's amazing how they perform this so flawlessly without a single note of music in front of them! You just don't see that very often; yet, this is typical when Andre Rieu is conducting. What an incredible performance!
What a joy to hear and watch! Flawless and beautiful! So nice that they all dressed up for the occasion. The looks on the musicians' faces says it all! This is what I want to do when I grow up. ;)
Muy lindo este volero de ravel, de hecho este mismo grupo musical debería volver a tocarlo, y dejar sus nombres en lista para nunca olvidar quienes fueron estos talentosos músicos, gracias
I discovered this in an article about music. I didn't read the article but just went through the various music/videos it contained. I found this. My goodness, has this given Feb a touch of enigma or what. I love its sound, it leaves me... I ended up downloading 101 songs on iTunes (all classical) ... I looked into JAMES LAST and found his version enriching too. RUclips doesnt have one faithful version of Ravel except this one here, yet when it plays on my phone... its something else. Bye.
Não há explicação. Só consegue entender quem possui alma para tal. Inexplicável. Ouvindo esse clássico, me sinto a pessoa mais importante do mundo. Não sou egoísta, é o que sinto.
Una de las piezas clásicas en cualquier reperterorio de orquesta que se preste. Es de admirar, que el maestro Ravel consiguiera con la repetición de unas notas, tan magistral obra. La ejecución y puesta en escena son maravillosas, consiguiendo un espectaculo insuperable
Music is the universal language, most of the comments on here are in different languages, but we are all here because we love this song, it's something we all have in common.
Every single second this superb piece of music simply strides further away from the rest shredding them in it`s wake sheer musical magnificence personified
I blast this too, and it makes my neighbors look at me like I'm full of class and taste in music because I'm 19 and they probably expect me to listen to that rap shit.
Essa é de longe uma das minhas músicas favoritas. Sou leigo em termos de música clássica mas sei reconhecer quando algo toca a alma e essa definitivamente faz parte das obras que mexem com o meu coração.
I used to listen to this when I was about 3-4 years old and every single time I would run around in circles in our living room. First around the tea table slowly, then how the tempo used to pick up, I would make larger circles around furniture and increase my velocity. In the end I would be running like crazy, and putting the song on loop, I would be doing this for almost an hour until mother would come and stop me. Ahh, good times...
Splendid musical art from Ravel ! Without this masterpiece am sure he would not be known as a great musician in the present times. Please listen to this composition in the silence of the night. Its awful & the sensations unbelievable. Cheers. Jpier
Grande compositor Joseph Maurice Ravel no seu melhor ! 👏👏👏 Bolero fantástico, lindo ❤❤❤vídeo espectacular, permite -nos assistir ao concerto 👌👌 Obrigada por este momento 👏👏👏
Es una demostración fantástica de un gran arte musical, desarrollado por ese gran Director de orquesta y compositor "Andre Rieu y cada uno de los componentes de su orquesta. Esta interpretación del "bolero de Ravel" , es un deleite.
"An impressive performance of Ravel's Bolero by the orchestra directed by the Dutch violinist and conductor Andre Rieu". To quote you...YOU were putting it mildly! THIS is the BEST rendition of Bolero I have EVER heard.. I love Ravel and Bolero in particular. I have looked all over for this rendition and YOU are the only one I have found that has it posted on You Tube...PLEASE!! NEVER, NEVER take it down from here... YOU will have to put it in your will that it must stay here!! :-) I have it saved to my favorite places MUSIC folder, and listen to it OFTEN... I first found it here about 8 years ago and listened to it ever since.. Considering you have kept it here for 10 years now, I figured it was time to plead for its continued longevity. And THANK YOU, as I should have done long ago, for loading it to You Tube to begin with. So here are 8 years of THANK YOUS and THUMBS UP, and a standing ovation and a BRAVO to boot!!
It's said that Ravel was to take over another orchestra and and as an exercise wrote this as a learning tool to sharpen up the ranks. Ravel actually wrote this while traveling, he considered it to be only an exercise, not a work of Art.
The tempo increases the beat speed with each repetition of the chords and the inclusion of instruments in each repetition; begins Adagio, Andante passes, goes to Moderato, and Allegro comes in and ends in Presto. Summarizing Bolero attracts musically hypnotic and wonderful way. Feel it. Thank Ravel. O andamento vai aumentando a velocidade do compasso a cada repetição dos acordes e a inclusão dos instrumentos em cada repetição; começa Adágio, passa por Andante, vai pra Moderato, e chega em Allegro e termina em Presto. Resumindo Bolero atrai musicalmente de forma hipnótica e maravilhosa. Sintam-no. Obrigado Ravel. El tempo aumenta la velocidad del compás con cada repetición de los acordes y la inclusión de instrumentos en cada repetición; comienza Adagio, Andante pasa, va a Moderato, Allegro y entra y termina en Presto. Resumir Bolero atrae manera musical hipnótico y maravilloso. Siéntelo. Gracias Ravel. Das Tempo erhöht die Geschwindigkeit Takt mit jeder Wiederholung der Sehnen und die Aufnahme der Instrumente in jeder Wiederholung; beginnt Adagio, Andante spielt geht an Moderato, Allegro und kommt und endet in Presto. Zusammenfassend Bolero zieht musikalisch hypnotisch und wunderbare Weise. Spüren Sie es. Vielen Dank, dass Ravel.
IL BOLERO DI RAVEL È UN INNO ALLA VITA ALLA LIBERTÀ, IL SUSSEGUIRSI DEI STRUMENTI MUSICALI TI TOGLIE IL FIATO. FINO ALL' ESPLOSIONE FINALE, DOVE IL MAESTRO, CHE HA DIRETTO IN MODO SUPERLATIVO, RINGRAZIA IL PROPRIO PUBBLICO, CON LE BRACCIA ALZATE AL CIELO.
Existem muitas formas de interpretar um bolero,mas o Bolero de Ravel é de longe o mais perfeito e digno do meu apluso.Obrigado por esta selecção brilhante.
Sou completamente alucinada por esta música, doida, maluca de pedra, apaixonada por ela. E esta interpretação é a mais brilhante e excepcional de todas que já encontrei até hoje.

Agreed it was flawless. As for notes, this piece is repetitive. My fav, though.
Goosebumps all over.......touches me so deep inside that even my bones tremble..Love Ravel's Bolero so much...
One of the greatest music and orchestration. Very uplifting. Long live Bolero.
This is one of the most wonderful music of the RAVEL repertory.
hey there it is good to back this master piece
Beautiful tune and so well performed by this great orchestra.
This is one of the most amazing performances of this work I have ever heard!

A flawless work of Art. I have never deemed that before, but this was beautiful!
This is one of most beautiful and best classical songs written.

Jestem szczęsliwa,ze mogę sluchać i ogladać tak piękną muzykę w tak doskonalym wykonaniu.
Não há explicação. Só consegue entender quem possui alma para tal. Inexplicável. Ouvindo esse clássico, me sinto a pessoa mais importante do mundo. Não sou egoísta, é o que sinto.
Never fails to grab me!! Goosebumps every time!
Absolutely perfect! This is the most beautiful Bolero piece I've heard yet ❤️
EXCELLENT . THANK YOU .
This piece is sensational!!! Close your eyes and let your imagination go .....
This music takes the imagination to places that words would fail to describe.
Yes Tracy
+David Morrison Yes Mr David
La mejor versión de Volero de Ravel que vi y escuché. Además una violinista me recuerda a mi madre, es igual. Amo este tema.
مقطوعه اكثر من رائعه ...سمعتها عشرات المرات دون ملل
Epic in the *classic* sense of the word.

tu as raison David Morrison
perfektní , klobouk dolu, ta melodie má vždy dostane
Come on people! That deserved a standing ovation 👏!
Bolero - Ravel,quando ouvi pela primeira vez, já a alguns séculos fascinei-me. Um crescendo perfeito.
Every single second this superb piece of music simply strides further away from the rest shredding them in it`s wake sheer musical magnificence personified
Savrseno, svako izvodjenje Bolera mene, malo je da kazem, odusevi. Nemam reci da opisem svoju ushicenost ovom numerom. BRAVOOO
I always blast this song on my spaceship when I travel the universe in my mision for galactic conquests.
Great,, but you need to get outside more often!
lol
That's fine, Pedro. Just don't come back here.
I blast this too, and it makes my neighbors look at me like I'm full of class and taste in music because I'm 19 and they probably expect me to listen to that rap shit.

Велико изпълнение много съм доволен вблизките 50 ,100 години няма да слушам такава музика
without dought the best rendition I've ever heard
Just the sort of performance I would expect, wish i was there.
André faz nossa alma cantar e enternecer-se com seus acordes fantásticos.
De la pure magie..quelques notes jetées en l'air... répétées à l'infini..., et voila !
There is no word to talk about Bolero-Ravel. Just listen and enjoy!!!!!!!
Maravillosa musica universal hoy no hay ni compasitores
A boa música não tem época, é atemporal. simplesmente belíssima, é um carinho para os ouvidos.
I used to listen to this when I was about 3-4 years old and every single time I would run around in circles in our living room.

Reminds me of the winter Olympics in 1984 when Torville and Dean won the gold medal for figure skating.
The most wonderful rendition of Bolero EVER!!! Please come back to NY again, I saw you there and would come again. THANK YOU FOR THIS>
It's said that Ravel was to take over another orchestra and and as an exercise wrote this as a learning tool to sharpen up the ranks. Ravel actually wrote this while traveling, he considered it to be only an exercise, not a work of Art.
Fantastic
pjgumby: If this is only an exercise for him I wonder what a work of Art made by him would be like. Simply stupendous. Regards.
He should have written all his works as an exercise while travelling then
great piece of ART...
pjgumby stupendo mi manda in estasi
É uma obra prima que atravessa todas as gerações Bolero de Ravel é tudo.............
+Darci Ferreira Concordo!!!
Gosto mais das interpretações originais, mesmo assim, não há nada igual!
Tens razão obra de gênio com inspiração divina
es lo más esta interpretación!
A great work which talks directly to one's heart!
