    I am a proud person to be able to say that when I was in the national apprentices choir in 1952 Kodaly visited us and I've seen him in real life.

    Hi, as hungarian, I was playing in my college years in an orchestra, this work is also well known for me. This performance brings me home.

    An excellent performance of this great work! The saxophonist deserves a special mention for getting his solo in Part 4 right: many do not. Superb cimbalom playing as well. Kodály would be well pleased with this, I feel sure!

    I am not a Hungarian, however, I studied at the Kodaly Zoltan Institute of Music Pedagogy, and I had a chance to learn quite a bit about Kodaly, Bartok and the Hungarian Folk music tradition as well as how both composers incorporated the Hungarian folk music into their compositions. This orchestra did a great job performing this major composition by Kodaly

    Soooo proud to see that an American orchestra plays this timeless masterpiece of Kodály Zoltán. It is a fantastic interpretation.
    Greetings from Budapest, Hungary.

      My point is that, they can play even the so-called Hungarian Virtue, the feeling that someone only has when comes from the Carpathian pool.

    Oh wow! I've been whistling the melody of the second movement for years since I played this in the Leeds youth Orchestra but I've not been able to find what it was. After lots of searching I just found this and as soon as it came in I had goosebumps! Thanks for the video.

  • @frigyesszendro2460

    @lexusis220d 7 лет назад +10

    A really nice rendition from an American orchestra that may not be so familiar with the music of Kodály and Bartók, or a Central-European composer per se. But as a Hungarian, I take pride that this orchestra could get a message across the American audience about Kodaly's music. And this was the first time, when I saw that the cimbalom part was not played by an "imported" Hungarian player.

    • @williamgriebenow8193
      @williamgriebenow8193 7 лет назад +1

      A Hungarian friend of mine always speak so highly of Kodály as "greatest Hungarian composer".
      His very proud of having played citer and was the one who introduced me to the cimbalom: your culture is one of the greatest!

    John Leach, eat your heart out. A superb display on the cimbalom by Christopher Deane. (John Leach was for donkeys' years *_the_* cimbalom player whenever any UK orchestra needed one. The work was popular in Britain as it was often included in BBC radio broadcasts on music for young schoolkids late 50s, 60s 70s & 80s).

      You shouldn't be proud of being Hungarian as you do not share those values that Kodály did. Especially with the expression of your first sentence. Somehow it does not fit either Kodály's spiritual greatness or UNT's moral code.

    Heard a version on radio (I think by Chicago Sympathy) it was either a poor arrangement or bad microphoning because I turned it up and still heard NO cimbalom (Hungarian hammered dulcimer) - This version is so much better! THANKS

    Brass and Percussion heavy! Let´s not have the strings play for entire movements, i really like that mentality, they already play a lot on other pieces. And the cimbalom is an awesome addition too, gives everything an ethnic character.

  • @secretofsuzanne

    I feel sorry for the cimbalom player, no matter how good a player he is - and this player is excellent - most of his efforts will be drowned out by the orchestra. An old recording by Georg Solti is the only one I have heard that the gives the cimbalom player his due.

    Wow! The viola solo was one of the best versions I've heard. The Intermezzo was ok, but its tempo will always be limited by the cimbalom player's ability to get through those nasty semiquavers!
