Shout out to the drummer boy who played the whole 17 minutes without missing a single beat. A metronome couldn’t keep a better tempo.
This is amazingly difficult. To focus for the entire song...playing the same pattern. I'm with you on that, although this guy is a professional!
Also, the conductor is the metronome...making it even more difficult. I'm sure you know that.

@@DrumsTheWord I checked out your channel, and it's nice to see how, coming from a slightly different perspective of drumming, you've come to appreciate something fairly different by the one and only Ravel 😎
He did, there's a bound beat at 0:49, quite noticeable, check Dudamel, he's signal him to go piano on it and that's when it happens...there're a few player playing faster than the beat.
Much respect to the drummer keeping that beat all the way.
Ich habe gehört, dass der Schlagzeuger fast verrückt geworden ist bei immer dem gleichen Spiel ...
It’s not the best anymore - It’s the melody already 😉😂
yess
And I remember my bass part from music school, fucking I had to be in beat so ideal

Wow . That's all I can say . Color me impressed.
I just love how this piece unravels
Great choice of words
Unbelievable
lol
You mean unRAVELs😊
I see what you did there. :)
I played the snare part in regional orchestra at the state competition. The beginning is maybe the most nervous I've ever been. Obviously any decent musician could sight-read that part passably, but playing it exposed, alone, with perfect metronomic rhythm and flawless intonation, coaxing the loudest instrument in the building down to the threshold of hearing, then managing an even crescendo for 16 minutes, that's another thing entirely. The temptation to lose focus is profound. But by the end, when the groove has long set in and Maurice Ravel has given you and everyone else the go-ahead to play literally as loud as you can, you feel invincible. That stupid ostinato absolutely transcends itself and becomes a spiritual experience.
May the concept of beauty ever challenge our ability to understand it.
Wow....you described beautifully.

Remembering my dance " belly dance" when I was 17 years old.
I remember when I played this in middle school, my conductor mentioned that this is one of the hardest and most stressful pieces to play for percussion. As you stated, it’s keeping the beat, intonation, and slowly-building crescendo going for so long is incredibly daunting and tedious
That drummesr or ANY drummers who plays Bolero deserves a medal

When I'm having a bad day, and by that I mean a really bad one, I grab the bolero to listen to. I close my eyes and just listen. No other piece of music brings me down like this one. I love it...
I feel this deeply. This song is perfection. And 17 minutes of it. I’m listening now when I should be going to sleep.

In a bad moment right now and yes, when this song came in my playlist i knew i had to watch it live once more again.

My goodness, imagine playing perdectly the same few notes for over 17 MINUTES! The mastery over the body required is incredible.
Amen to that - the drummer has all my respect 🙏🏼 concentrate 😵💫
@@didierpetit7566 qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqe
Yes, the same few notes for 17 minutes, but different distinct musical instrument with solo performances, that‘s the magic of it, i‘m listening with awe, each contributing heart-fully with the whole magic. Funny, i‘m beginning to listen to Classical Music and i am awed, i feel the magic.
O baterista é o melhor.
This is actually digitally generated. The drummer, takes a break after the 5 minute sample is finished. 😂
This is my favourite performance of Bolero. Every other version I've found on youtube is played too quickly, making it feel rushed! This is one where I can relax and enjoy it as it builds.
Perhaps I can help you: Check out the performances by Barry Wordsworth (Concertgebouw) and Sergiu Celibidache - they are slower too and the sound of the timpani... just WOOOW! 😍
You are completly right!
why do you even listen to this shit

When i was 12 in 1971 my schools music teacher played this for us and we had to draw our feelings to it for a national competition. I was fully fascinated and won 2nd prize. I became part of the music industry for the next 25 years and it fully influenced and bettered my life for it. It gives me hope and power to fight through any struggle i encounter and brings me tears of joy. It has guided me and given me directions. Now 50 years on i still sit quietly with my earphones in a chair , tears in my eyes and mind, thanking ravel for what a wonderful experience he has given me.
Hope one day to see it performed live.
Three generations of 1st chair flutes 🎉❤😢
The trombone solo, was the best I've ever heard...Absolutely amazing!!! This is by far my favorite rendition of Bolero...
You need to research and listen to more….not by far the “best ever”….but to your virgin ears, I guess it is
Try also Celibidache Ravel...
@@Oh_I_Will instead of criticising provide other examples for him to listen
@@mete1099 The list of examples would be very large..............
Agreed
The great thing about this piece is not the actual music you hear, that’s just one phrase played over and over again, it’s the fact almost every instrument in the modern orchestra is showcased
Yeah this is true. But when i first heard it i was like "bro wrote the same pattern for 17 minutes and called it a day".
@@Jane306 i heard a story, that the song actually was stuck in his head and he couldnt write at the time .. the same pattern over and over some say he nearly went mad, but everytime he heard the pattern he heard it everytime with a different instrument .. so thats what he wrote
@@DrSmugface wow i didn't know about this story. but i remember the bolero was the piece Ravel didn't like so much.
@@Jane306 He called it something like "orchestral tissue paper"
It's a masterpiece of orchestration - how to take one theme and color it dozens of different creative ways and maintain interest the entire time!
The day my son was born, in the delivery room, the Dr. Asked the nurse to turn on the Bolero de Ravel. Every time I hear this symphony, I re-live that beautiful moment, the day life was given to my son. A beautiful spiritual symphony, for such a precious moment in my life. ❤
Um lindo depoimento.
This is our favorite rendition of Bolero by any orchestra in memory. Cudos to orchestra members and conductor.
I love that he introduces us to each instrument one by one at the beginning of this fascinating piece. Each of them has a different sound and they are all very special. Then he shows us, how compatible they are all together and it turns out a powerful and majestic work of art. Actually, this piece may be a message Ravel wants to give us all. Every person is special, but together we are stronger. I wish all people could be as harmonious as in this piece.
Güzel bir tespit
My mum used to love instrumental music, including Richard Clayderman
Inspired to hear more Ravel after catching his La Valse for two pianos at a lovely London Royal Academy of Music concert!
Nailed it.
We know where Mike Oldfield got the idea.
I feel like this piece is the definition of "Passive-Aggressive," absolutely fantastic!

@@giuseppinaiacono7060 Grazie, Giuseppina. My grandma was named Giuseppina.
Un magnifico "martellamento" omaggio a Maurice Ravel 👏👏
I visited my 92 year Grandmother today. She said when she was young she would blast this song over and over with her sisters (with my great grandmother getting rather sick of it) but had no recollection of the song at all. She could only describe it to us. It wasn't until my father mentioned it might be Bolero. We played it to her and it was! She was so stoked to hear it again as she wanted to hear the song for years but couldn't recall the composer or tune.
On that note - my grandma's sister recently passed away. I only hope she is listening to this glorious song in the next life.
That is a great story! Thank you for sharing it!
Gracias por compartir 😊
just yesterday I played the entire 15 minutes (bluetooth in the car) with my 88 year old mother watching mesmerized. on my smartphone. She hadn't heard it in years, and is still talking about what a great experience it was! But she said she wouldn't want to listen to Bolero too often.... "not every day" haha

I LOVE the conductor! His facial expressions are awesome and sometimes he looks like the cat that swallowed the canary! He surely enjoys what he does!
He looks kinda like elon musk in a curly wig
The Jimi Hendrix of all conductors
Is he conducting with his facial expressions? I thought that is what he was doing.
Bolero is my favourite piece of music, if you notice your body rhythms is its played they move in sync with it. This is the best version I have ever heard and seen for that matter. I believe the conducting is done using hands head and also facial expressions, a true soul master in action, the jazz additions on the wind instruments was a master stroke. This whole mesmerising video is a masterpiece
One of the best !! Gustavo Dudamel from Venezuela 🇻🇪
The drummer steals the show :)
He brings jazz sound to the bolero. And the rubato at about 16:18 is phenomenal! He is a magician of music! Greetings from Austria!
so so breazy
What does Bolero mean
In all my 77 years I have never seen a conductor like this one! I have watched every one of his you tube videos and each one is a spectacular rendition. A breath of freshness for sure!
So in 77 years, you’ve only watched a handful??? Uhhh, ok
He has been directing since he was 9 years old..... venezuelan pride!!!! NAGUARÁ....
turkhum I suppose you have seen very few.
You can think what you want, but I have been envolved with and seen many !
tengo 50 y estoy completamente deacuerdo contigo
My parents both loved Ravel's Bolero, so I grew up listening to the unique and fascinating orchestral masterpiece. Recently I came across this 2010 rendition by the Vienna Philharmonic, with Gustavo Dudamel at the helm, and I was utterly and completely blown away. Dudamel paces it slowly, to the full seventeen minutes, which is exactly what Ravel intended (and famously argued about with conductor Arturo Toscanini decades ago). Each member of the orchestra performs their parts superbly, and the slow pace lets you savor the finest nuances of each instrument's contribution. You can clearly see the unbridled joy and boundless love that Dudamel enthuses, for both the music and the orchestra, with his every gesture and expression. I have fallen in love with Bolero all over again! Since discovering this one, I listened to many recordings of Bolero by other conductors, but none of them have matched this truly extraordinary performance. Bravo, Maestro Gustavo!
Oh, dear God, what a magnificent masterpiece of music! Wonderfully played too! I can't stop listening to it and I have tears in my eyes.
Yes, wonderul! I wish someone would upload the equally good (and beautifully filmed) performance that Daniel Harding led at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris a few years ago - it's shown sometimes on the Mezzo TV network, as part of their in-between regular programmes pool (and with one of the early models for the Statue of Liberty, held by the museum, towering close to the orchestra)
THIS is the best version I've ever heard ! A little slower, a little more lascivious, but ever so beautiful !
Slow thats how it should be then built up
I'm a sucker for pieces that repeat a theme and slowly build to a beautiful crescendo. This piece of music is the very definition!
It’s a great meditation. Ravel’s Bolero can make you feel as one with the universe.
try nature fights back. its not classical but you described exactly this!
I always enjoyed this in recordings. Live in concert the music was almost like following the plot of a subtle detective novel, very suspenseful.
Any suggestions for other pieces in the same vein?
Me too!! Would you please share some of the other pieces like this?? Thanks!!
The conductor really enjoys his work. His facial expressions add so much to the video.
I implore anybody who loves classical music and can swing the cost to go see the Wiener Philharmoniker - or any piece they perform in any arrangement. I saw a quartet from them play Mozart in a chamber in the Vienna Opera House and I swear to any diety that'll make you believe me: I saw fire from those players instruments in that hall. Waves of sound and heat. I was 1000% sober. Life changing. Exceptional musicianship and emotion in the playing. I will do it again.
absolutely amazing will always be one of my favorites. Even in 1000 years it will be one of the best ever
Yes absolutely ❤
It IS timeless!
@@09kittykatz09it is is indeed timeless
Best. Trombone. Solo. Ever.
I feel this. The piece is not the same without the powerful 'bone finish as in this performance.
my favourite instrument in this piece, i feel it gives a lot of personality. for me this piece is like a conversation between the instruments and the trombone for me is really amazing here.
Omg my word it SO was
Fluid
It's the part that made me come back to this song for years and years now
Though I do listen to the entire thing, because the buildup is necessary for it
That conductor really throws his whole heart into this performance. It helps that the musicians are fabulous.
É absurdamente lindo e perfeito! Que presente essa música!😍
To jest naprawde prezent
i love how a piece of music with just a few notes that are being played over and over again can become one of the toughest things to do. People dont realise how difficult it is for the drummer to keep this tempo going from very quiet to really loud. We tried this in school many years ago and it was astonishing how everybody failed to keep the beat and the right volume after 30 seconds pretty much.
I feel that this music is one of the most beautiful, haunting, stimulating love pieces ever created. I love it, and I have always loved it from the first time I ever heard it more than 50 years ago, to today, and I'm 72 years old now. I don't think I will ever think otherwise either.
Me too! I'm 72 also and I was blessed to have this record played in our home as a child and I've never gotten over being stunned and thrilled by it. Every child should be so lucky.
Agreed.
I agree totally! It makes you feel like you can tackle anything! When I was young my parents played this and I got annoyed (stupid teen), now can't get enough!
I ABSOLUTELY love it! Always have; always will!

I like his face.
He looks like he eats to music, sleeps to music, and just overall breathes to music.
I feel your passion man.

Das ist Harmonie. Vollkommenheit. Wie oft ich den Bolero höre. Er berührt mein Herz immer wieder.
Ich habe dazu ein Bild im Kopf, ein Club, im Außengelände.
Wald, ein Schaukelstuhl ein Grammophon und viele viele Tiere aus dem Wald, die ringsum standen. Das ist der Bolero für mich. Eben Harmonie und Frieden.
Absolut ❤
A masterpiece composed simply of small ethereal notes, in graceful flight towards sublime skies. Thank you for this miracle...
A masterclass, should be shown to children everywhere to demonstrate leadership and teamwork. Bravo!

It's from a French/German TV channel
Ravel dá pra gente uma bela aula de orquestração que mascara a aparente falta de desenvolvimento de material melódico-temático: o desenvolvimento é a brilhante e debochada orquestração que o Ravel insinua. Primeiro, ele mostra as madeiras, uma a uma e depois faz jogos de combinação sonora entre elas. Depois, vem os metais. Em seguida, Ravel mistura as madeiras com os metais pra em seguida virem as cordas. Tudo isso acontecendo debaixo do nosso nariz, mas a gente não percebe porque o Ravel literalmente hipnotiza a gente com essas duas melodias repetitivas e de caráter hispano-arábico, desviando a nossa atenção da orquestração. Outra coisa imperceptível é a construção do clímax: Ravel pede que a orquestra toque baixinho no início e vá aumentando o volume conforme a peça vai progredindo. Temos que falar na grande dificuldade rítmica que está com os dois percussionistas que tocam as duas caixas-de-guerra e literalmente sustentam a evolução da orquestra inteira durante os 17 minutos. O "Boléro" foi composto em compasso ternário 3/4, na tonalidade "sonolenta" e lugar-comum de dó maior, justamente pra causar na gente esse torpor hipnótico. Apenas perto do fim, Ravel faz uma modulação inesperada para a tônica mediante de mi maior lembrando as músicas de guitarra espanhola que tocam nessa tonalidade a maioria das vezes. E a peça termina com a orquestra "gritando" e sustentando um acorde de ré bemol maior, com uma cascata de escala caindo no acorde de dó maior, fazendo alusão à cadência frígia da música espanhola.
Сама возможность услышать филармонический оркестр Вены и увидеть, как прямо у тебя на глазах рождается величественная музыка болеро Равеля -- это изумительно щедрый подарок судьбы, которым я потрясена до глубины души.
16:20 a very subtle slowing down in tempo. I love this inclusion!
I am not sure if it was the amazing performance - the amazing drummer - or the conductor's amazing hair that fascinated me most - but probably all three. Such an outstanding rendition of this wonderful work.
He’s actually one of the greatest conductors in history.
Are you bald?
The drummer is the real conductor
If you think his hair is great look at Karajan in the 80s
The conductors facial expressions have me cracking up over here lol!! Anyone know his name, id like to look him up lol!
Got to love Gustavo's enthusiasm! 😃I can hear his passion. I know he must love the trombones, especially.
Dudamel was a gift to Los Angeles when we needed it the most. What a joy.
🎉✨✨✨🎉 Just about 17 minutes before closing a pub here in Sweden played this fantastic music by Ravel - every night!!! That was so suggestive! 🤩
I listened this music in the first season of Digimon when I was 10. I didn't know it was Ravel's Bolero, but I got caught so magically by it that years later I still remembered it. After some research, I found out it was this piece and I listen to it from time to time. 15 years later I have the same feeling I had the first time I listened to it. I get absolutely caught by it.
Same😀
Yes, digimon, my favorite
I first heard it in part of the bass solo by Jim Creegan from the Barenaked Ladies. 🙂
Me too😊
Omg. I thought i was the only one. The feeling and vibe just caught me instantly
As a Latina, I'm so proud of the conductor. I first heard this piece as part of the movie soundtrack for El Bolero de Raquel when I was a little girl. It's a great movie starring Mexican actor/ comedy legend, Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" ( of Around the World in 80 Days fame; the original version). I love this piece and the movie is great, even if you don't understand Spanish, because it has a lot of slapstick/physical comedy.
A most powerful composition for millions...but time stops..becomes still and beautiful every time I hear it. It was my wedding night. I was a frightened young Bride as I came to this sacred place we all do at one time or another. We were just 16 & 17 and obviously nervous. When all were gone, we stood in each other's arms locked in a gaze when he put this song on the record player. When I looked into his eyes and felt his touch...I felt the fear leave and warmth and love washed over me. Our love was accompanied by the rise and fall of Bolero. Each touch felt warmer and deeper as the music rose and became more passionate. Some people say their first time was awful...my First Time was a heavenly caress from God. Now we are listening on our 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary, and it is every bit as beautiful but has a very gentle glow to each of us when we listen and remember all those many years ago. Still Deep IN LOVE. I wonder if this is what Mr. Ravel had in his mind for his composition??
Wonderful !
I love this slower tempo, it brings out the melancholy and sensuality at the same time.
That was great. I love the look of that conductor. The long hair and the emotive energy. He really looks like a conductor. Lol. Great performance.
This was the best - thee very very best of Bolero I have heard - and I love Ravels Bolero

A magnificent rendition. The tempo is perfect, probably the best Bolero I've listened to and watched. The suspense slowly building towards the ending..... aahhh goose bumps. WE are lucky to have such a wonderful conductor as Dudamel. I've been following him since the time he came to The Proms in London, in 2007, with the then Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra. Do yourselves a favour and watch that concert. it was probably THE best concert of all the Proms. And that's saying something.
I can just see.
And FEEL
.camels traversing the Sahara..what a LOVELY PIECE!!!💖💖💖
This is what I consider the greatest Rendition of Bolero of all time.
“The tempo is perfect, probably the best Bolero I've listened to and watched.”
As another classical music fan, I find this hagiography by fans of Dudamel to be so depressing.

Never tire of hearing this great piece of music 🎶 Ravel was a

What a pleasure to watch these world class musicians play this beautiful and difficult music. Impressive.
The drummer deserves a standing ovation that’s just for him!
So Cool!!
It makes me wander what was on Ravel's mind when creating THIS! Its incredibile and Majestic 🥁🎺🎷🎻
To him it was an exercise in the key of A minor. The whole piece consists of one chord...A minor
Something tells me that this conductor loves this piece of music. So do I. 😉
He has love for a lot of classical pieces. Seeing him conduct almost anything, you can sense the music channeled through his conducting and how he exudes excitement and joy.
You know, Maurice Ravel managed to keep the orchestra playing the same thing over and over again for 17 minutes straight just by adding more instruments each time
Exactly right! It’s not an ugly piece of music but I don’t see how anyone could call it inspired. I get the theme of it but I don’t find it engaging. I’m hoping someone can help me understand what I’m missing because it’s got a place on the mantle of great musical accomplishments so I’d like to appreciate it as much as everyone else
@@matthewmetz3655 no you're right. as long as I know even Ravel himself couldn't understand why among all his pieces this was the most famous
@Proud Troll I’d argue that it doesn’t have much of a beginning or an adventure either.
It’s more like an author sat down and typed “wouldn’t it be great if a protagonist had an experience that was ultimately resolved.” then sent that to the publisher.
@Proud Troll Its a journey by definition yes, but also by the same definition every Dr. Seuss story is as well. That’s not a knock on Dr. Seuss stories, they have their place. Some are even profound, just not that challenging. I guess that would be my gripe. It’s a story. It’s a song. But there’s no challenge. It’s not captivating. It could be that I just can’t appreciate the simplicity of what it’s saying. Could also be that it’s not saying much.
@@matthewmetz3655 I can’t help you understand it because I don’t quite understand why I’m captivated by this. The only analogy is that it reminds me of my love of the life of a storm. The sound of just a few drops, a little wind through the trees, then the wind chimes then the rain is going harder then the temperature drops and the air feels saturated, then some lightning and thunder. I just love the anticipation of the next layer of the storm, albeit with Bolero you know what’s coming next.
- chapeau - to the sound technicians and their wizardry. that one can hear each and every instrument so clearly. and a special -bravissimo - to the two drummers to keep it up perfectly for nearly 18 minutes!
Best Ravel "Bolero" I have heard! Dudamel keeps it very close to the tempo that Ravel suggested - seventeen minutes. It has always struck me as too fast when "Bolero" is played faster than that . At that noted tempo, I think there is somewhat of an urgency that builds up in the performance. Maybe Ravel didn't like the piece, but I think it is a masterpiece!
Un chef d'oeuvre composé simplement de petites notes éthérées, en envol gracieux vers des cieux sublimes. Merci pour ce miracle...
Last school year I was called to fill in for a 6th grade LA teacher for two weeks. Every day they had 20 minutes of independent reading to do. I played this as a timer each day. The kids were very quite and at the beginning of the weeks they just read but by the third or forth day they got into the music and I would talk about how to communicate. I had many teachers come up to me asking me why I was using music in class because all of the 6th graders were talking about it everywhere - even at home. You would not believe the positive words I got from parents. My two weeks ended and later in the year I filled in for a science teacher and the kids wanted me to play Bolero again but my lesson plan did not give me time. Sorry because this is a beautiful piece!
That's awesome.
I always close my eyes and imagine in what context would this fit. It always goes I am a traveler in Egypt and I'm calmly riding on a camel or Elephant surveying the land watching the sunrise. The sun rays cast a golden shine over the desert making it appear as if I was navigating a sea of gold.
Skating on ice
Military men or pirates loading cannon balls and cargo for a sea expedition.
OR
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; the thieves hiding their loot in caves in secrecy.
I'm seeing dawn of the day as the sun rises before a battle
Making love!!
Same for me, I picture an army of camels and elephants slowing walking across the sand dunes possibly to a great battle somewhere, men with swords and turbans. My ex always pictured bullfighters marching to the fighting arena. We all have different mind eyes.
Not only do I love this song and this version, but the video of the experience is immersing

Bolero is my father's favorite & I have been listening to this since I was little. This by far my most favorite rendition of it. Gustavo Duhamel did ad hint of flavor to this classic of classic. Love the trombone & right before the end of when everything come together where change the note to grand finale, that half of the second of hold up is just so exciting. Giving me a goosebumps everytime.
Music like this helps me get up in the morning. RIP Ravel, you genius.
Outstanding. The orchestra can time it by Gustavo's hair alone, no need for baton!
É minha performance favorita!!! Espetacular, não importa quantas vezes eu a escute; é sempre de tirar o fôlego!!!
Mein vater liebte der bolero... Die schallplatte wurde immer Sonntags aufgelegt...
Rückseite dans macabre
My father used to play this on his Sony reel-to-reel, and at aged six I had goosebumps! The memory of the drum's beet helped me when I danced Flamenco!! I adore this!!!!
People think children would be bored by the repetition, but I’ve seen many comments here talking about how this piece enchanted them as children, or how their own children want to listen to it over and over
Bolero de Ravel é a mais linda melodia de toda a história da humanidade.
Yes, one of the best and very sensual.
Coincido con usted
Absolutely… only this☝️
And all emotions
Concordo plenamente
The way the Conductor leads, and the orchestra reciprocates, they play to the depths of their souls..That is a Beautiful thing.
The wonderful magician... Gustavo Dudamel ...🇻🇪
This is an extraordinary piece of music. From tranquility to full on drama. Thank you Ravel.
When i will be die, I will say - thanks for all emotions from music and movies. Life was worth of it.
I get tremors right to my feet for real....
So even though it all went wrong, you'll stand before the Lord of Song, with nothing on your tongue but Hallelujah?
Me dejó sin palabras, la mejor versión que he escuchado en mi vida!!!
🥺🥺🥺
Claro! si está dirigido por el genial director Gustavo Dudamel!!! Orgullo venezolano
Our favorite rendition of Bolero. Best orchestra and conductor. 🥰🤠
I quite agree!!!
I loved. My favorite version. The tempo is slightly slower than many versions of the Boléro I have listened to so far. It allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of each instrument. The drum (flawless) and trombone (9:30) are particularly strong. The slower tempo allows you to really feel all the different intonations and the power of the trombone notes. Gorgeous.
What a beautifully played piece. The slow tempo is perfect.
Everything is just perfect....Cheers
Nostalgia is one of the main feelings evoked by bolero. However, in most cases, this nostalgia is invented and represents longing for a glamorous period that had never really existed for most of the people who indulge in it.
Je salue la performance du batteur, aucune fausse note du début à la fin, c est admirable. Maintenir la régularité est une prouesse.
L' ensemble de la prestation est une vraie réussite. Je prends un réel plaisir à l'écouter. Bravo à tous pour votre performance ! C'était parfait.
This masterpiece is my connection to my father, who died long years ago. I was and still am a fan of Ian Gillan , of Sweet Child in Time, Smoke on the Water, of Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber.....and my father gave me his headphones - first time in my life in the seventies - and made me listen to Bolero by Maurice Ravel : what a healing music, I still love it today and. love my father for having introduced me to this music. I still play that drums on my table and get healed of all my troubles, find order in this crazy world of nowadays.
Hearing this streamed via Spotify pales in comparison to actually watching each instrument blend in as the music reaches it’s final crescendo.
Simply beautiful.
Effin awesome!!!replays
In my head all
time!!!Needed this song!!!
The whole orchestra simply smashed it! Special kudos to the drummer and the genius that is Dudamel...
Agree 👏
Parabéns, Dudamel!!
Magnífico, lembra as músicas antigos
Обалденно! Дирижёр - дока своего дела! Великолепное знание партитуры и превосходная эмоциональная выкладка. Супер! ❤
I saw the NY Philharmonic play this at Lincoln Center over 30 years ago. The drummer was a young man in his 20's. When the song was over the audience gave him a standing ovation. It was the first time I ever saw a classical musician treated like a rock star.
