This piece is so beautiful and rich I cant get enough of it! I have played for 12 yrs and lm learning this song right now! I fell in love with this song the min I listened to it! ♥
This masterpiece describes the human experiance...this song has it all love, passion and pain...Thank you Don Carlos! Espana will always love you and celbrate you music......
'Por una cabeza' by the great Argentinean tango singer Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera from Argentina as well. The name of this tango translated into English would be "By a head". Gardel was a horse racing fan and sometimes the horse wins the race by a head. So, he called this tango 'Por una cabeza' or by a head. This arrangement is by Alfredo Le Pera and Gardel.
It's all actually good that the music is revived and shared with all of us, no need to haggle over trivial issues. The movies that use these music pieces also contribute to popularize them and kept alive for all of us. Fantastic piece by legendary Gardel and Le Pera. Notice also that some of the melody is borrowed from Mozart's rondo for Violin and Orchestra in C, all good stuff people...let's share and enjoy...cheers!
It's Garlos Gardel's Tango "Por Una Cabeza" from Scent of a Woman, in an 1994 arrangement by John Williams, recorded by Itzhak Perlman, with John Williams and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra on the Sony album "Cinema Serenade". The sheet music is not available for purchase but can only be hired.
el titulo original es "por una cabeza" (referido a la ventaja de una cabeza de caballo en una carrera) de Carlos Gardel y Lepera, tiene una letra hermosa y es uno de los tangos mas sensuales para ser bailados
Por una cabeza de un noble potrillo que justo en la raya afloja al llegar, y que al regresar parece decir: No olvidés, hermano, vos sabés, no hay que jugar. Por una cabeza, metejón de un día de aquella coqueta y risueña mujer, que al jurar sonriendo el amor que está mintiendo, quema en una hoguera todo mi querer. Por una cabeza, todas las locuras. Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza, calma la amargura. Por una cabeza, si ella me olvida qué importa perderme mil veces la vida, para qué vivir. Cuántos desengaños, por una cabeza. Yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir. Pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar, su boca de fuego otra vez quiero besar. Basta de carreras, se acabó la timba. ¡Un final reñido yo no vuelvo a ver! Pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo, yo me juego entero. ¡Qué le voy a hacer..! Por una cabeza, todas las locuras. Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza, calma la amargura. Por una cabeza, si ella me olvida qué importa perderme mil veces la vida, para qué vivir.
No, he is the latvian conductor Mariis Jansons en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariss_Jansons This orchesta is the Philarmonic Of Berlin. This tango "Por una cabeza" was created by the argentinians Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera in 1935. And very beautyful and famous tango, John Williams created his version for Orchesta to the film "The Schindler List"
The song was composed by Carlos Gardel. It was featured in the movie Scent of a Woman, but was not written specifically for it. John Williams later arranged it for orchestra.
Посмотреть бы на этих 13 человек, которым не понравилось. Бедные люди! Разве это может не понравится? Вечная музыка! Прекрасно!!! Можно слушать и слушать...!!! John Williiams великолепен! Виртуозен и артистичен! Спасибо!!!, mozart5301314!!! ))
@luisllaury Thanks for putting the correct name. Yes, they do deserve to have the name put right, and is good that there is still people who care about looking the correct information.
Music is the holy medicine which can heal your inner pain by entering into your heart and then goes to every part of your body but not to the brain directly, coz it’s not intelligent enough to understand the feeling of healing of emotions, may be for a while but that timeframe you re feeling that feeling, that is like inception which doesn’t end until your wants to end it!
This is what "mozart 521314" forgot to inform: Por una cabeza by Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera.
Conductor: Mariss Jansons Perfomer: Vadim Repin Orchestra/Ensemble: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra Period: 20th Century Written: 1935; Argentina Notes: Arranged by John Williams.
A letra foi composta pelo brasileiro Alfredo Le Pera em 1935. Le Pera foi um grande amigo e parceiro de Carlos Gardel, morreu com ele na Colômbia. The letter was composed by Alfredo Le Pera Singapore in 1935. Le Pera was a great friend and partner of Carlos Gardel, died with him in Colombia.
happywandy457, if you listen to the sequences, you will find that Carlos Gardel seemed to to know as you call in german "Eine Mediantenmodulation" . You can find this in Bruckners Symphonies. That means a step to another tonality by use of its middle tones. Simply astonishing! Hans Fröhlich - Germany
I've spent dozens of time listening to this clip, compared to original version played by Mr.Perlman both live and studio. The violin solo around 1:30 of this clip is even more spicy than original ones. I'd think that the quality of sound recording and violin may have a role. On balance, the violinist in this clip, what is his name?, should be the best candidate for the best Tango, unluckily overshadowed by legendary Itzhak Perlman.
Thanks for sharing this video, mozart5201314, but the information is wrong. • Tango: "Por una cabeza" (1935) • Music: Carlos Gardel • Lyrics: Alfredo Le Pera Thanks again and regards from Buenos Aires.
Gardel's masterpiece, I'm not Argentinean or Uruguayan but i feel proud for our sudamerican music. "Por una cabeza" mean literally "for a head" , but contextually the best traducement is "by a horse's head" in the lyrics the singer loses everything in horse races bets.
this Tango has nothing to do with "Cent of a Woman". It is "Por Una Cabeza" from Carlos Gardel and this is an arrangement from John Williams - but this version is not used in the movie
Neither John Williams or Carlos Gardel composed this. Vadim Repin did.. At least he improvised around the Tango Por una Cabeza written by John Williams for Itzhak Perlman. Great Performance.. as always.. Wonder where I could get the music for that piece.. ?
Williams did this arrangement of Por Una Cabeza for the movie "Scent of a Woman". I agree he is definitely not the original composer and the title at the start is misleading. Excellent performance btw! :)
Let us suit that rhythm with which it is performed For A Head it is not in fact a tango. Anyway, it sounds very well and the melody is faithful to Carlos Gardel's composition.
In the first place, I am surprised that the song has been presented so: John Williams Esence of a woman Tango. And regrettably, it is not named Carlos Gardel. As well it is known, he is been born in Tolouse, France and grown in Buenos Aires from very young, no matter how much the Uruguayans invent another thing. It is obvious that musical arrangements belong to John Williams. But, who is this orchestra's director and who is the violinist? (I gon on)
Just for once can some film director use another tango song besides Por Una Cabeza? There are so many beautiful tango songs that the world can be exposed to hearing.
Very misleading, It was composed by the great Carlos Gardel and is called "Por una cabeza". This "arrangement" is by John Williams. I am surprised Gardel's lawyers haven't sued RUclips for misidentifying this music. I am also surprised at the viscousness of some of the comments.
Al Pacino as a blind man doing the tango with such passion in Scent of a Woman ... the only film that he has won an Academy Award.
It´s Tango from Argentina . " Por una cabeza" Carlos Gardel
Hinchadas Y más d

Wow. wonderful. Love this song, absolutely beautiful. Great violin..

GREATE PERFORMANCE - thanks to everyone who took a part!!! Beautiful stuff... nothing else to say....
You mean piece!
Bravo, belíssimo. Tudo lindo demais, mas, o violino, foi participação especial
What a dill only watched it yesterday and it still brings emotional feeling to the surface love it thanks RUclips
This is a superb arrangement of "por una cabeza". The violinist is a absolutely into this melody . What a pleasurable experience! Ambrose Masto
I feel love when I hear this piece of beauty ☺️
J'aurais donné toute ma vie pour assister à ces quelques minutes.
@luisllaury the title is right, the song is indeed Por Una Cabeza, but it was used in the movie scent of a woman.
It's Garlos Gardel's Tango "Por Una Cabeza" from Scent of a Woman, in an 1994 arrangement by John Williams, recorded by Itzhak Perlman, with John Williams and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra on the Sony album "Cinema Serenade". The sheet music is not available for purchase but can only be hired.
The name of this marvelous Tango is: POR UNA CABEZA, please correct it so it´s name won't be changed.
It suggests John Williams wrote it. LOL. It is a very old piece, quite lovely.
Vadim Repin... My violin hero... 👍🏻👌🏻♠️💣
el titulo original es "por una cabeza" (referido a la ventaja de una cabeza de caballo en una carrera) de Carlos Gardel y Lepera, tiene una letra hermosa y es uno de los tangos mas sensuales para ser bailados
Por una cabeza
de un noble potrillo
que justo en la raya
afloja al llegar,
y que al regresar
parece decir:
No olvidés, hermano,
vos sabés, no hay que jugar.
Por una cabeza,
metejón de un día
de aquella coqueta
y risueña mujer,
que al jurar sonriendo
el amor que está mintiendo,
quema en una hoguera
todo mi querer.
Por una cabeza,
todas las locuras.
Su boca que besa,
borra la tristeza,
calma la amargura.
Por una cabeza,
si ella me olvida
qué importa perderme
mil veces la vida,
para qué vivir.
Cuántos desengaños,
por una cabeza.
Yo juré mil veces,
no vuelvo a insistir.
Pero si un mirar
me hiere al pasar,
su boca de fuego
otra vez quiero besar.
Basta de carreras,
se acabó la timba.
¡Un final reñido
yo no vuelvo a ver!
Pero si algún pingo
llega a ser fija el domingo,
yo me juego entero.
¡Qué le voy a hacer..!
Por una cabeza,
todas las locuras.
Su boca que besa,
borra la tristeza,
calma la amargura.
Por una cabeza,
si ella me olvida
qué importa perderme
mil veces la vida,
para qué vivir.
Que bello tango😊💝
I know absolutely nothing about violin playing. But this dude sounds impressive. Also, is the conductor the john Williams who scores all those movies?
No, he is the latvian conductor Mariis Jansons
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariss_Jansons
This orchesta is the Philarmonic Of Berlin.
This tango "Por una cabeza" was created by the argentinians Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera in 1935.
And very beautyful and famous tango, John Williams created his version for Orchesta to the film "The Schindler List"
Well, this tango named as John Williams's but my teacher told me it originated from Argentina, and was composed by a famous Argentina tango composer.
yes, it is from Carlos Gardel - and the original is 1000x better than the obscure version of John Williams....
fiddler on the bike This particular orchestration is from Mr Williams though...
The song was composed by Carlos Gardel. It was featured in the movie Scent of a Woman, but was not written specifically for it. John Williams later arranged it for orchestra.
It's always a good sign when the string section's bows tap the music stands....they know they have just heard genius. Bravo.... but WHO is he?
اجمد موسيقى سمعتها فى حياتى موسيقى احساس عالى
Que orgullo ser ARGENTINO!!!
Wonderful!!!! I love it!!
Посмотреть бы на этих 13 человек, которым не понравилось. Бедные люди!

• Tango: "Por una cabeza" (1935)
• Music: Carlos Gardel
• Lyrics: Alfredo Le Pera
Thanks again and regards from Buenos Aires.
It is from the Scent of A Woman Soundtrack...
Carlos Gardel, patrimônio argentino, era francês!
"Por una cabeza" it´s the original title of this Tango from Carlos Gardel.
se llama por una cabeza... tambien sale en la lista de schindler...
its wonderful ,whatever its called!
the conductor is Jansons!
he's famous! And also awsome!
Vadim I LOVE U~
repin does a fine job here. great venue
Gardel's masterpiece, I'm not Argentinean or Uruguayan but i feel proud for our sudamerican music.
"Por una cabeza" mean literally "for a head" , but contextually the best traducement is "by a horse's head" in the lyrics the singer loses everything in horse races bets.
Wonderful tango
beautiful......
Tango do filme Scent of a Woman (Perfume de Mulher) com Al Pacino.
this Tango has nothing to do with "Cent of a Woman". It is "Por Una Cabeza" from Carlos Gardel and this is an arrangement from John Williams - but this version is not used in the movie
Tango do filme. Perfume de mulher
El tango es "Por una cabeza" de Gardel y Lepera, dedicado al jockey Leguisamo.
he means.. the film !! because this music was played in a film called "scent of a woman !!" :D
Repin , the best of the best !!!!!!!
Muito bom, muito bom, gostei deste tango, é formidavel, este violinista, comenta o violinista Àlvaro Rogoff.
Neither John Williams or Carlos Gardel composed this. Vadim Repin did.. At least he improvised around the Tango Por una Cabeza written by John Williams for Itzhak Perlman. Great Performance.. as always.. Wonder where I could get the music for that piece.. ?
beauty and gentleness...
Gardel es el argentino más grande de todos los grandes !!! Y Le Pera también, un brasileño genial !!
this arrangement gives a very different feeling from the original...less latin-like but very elegant. i love both...
i feel so relaxing when i listen this.)
Bravo,Vadim Repin!!! We can see Russian Violin Playing! We love you so much!!!
Williams did this arrangement of Por Una Cabeza for the movie "Scent of a Woman". I agree he is definitely not the original composer and the title at the start is misleading.
Excellent performance btw! :)
What a great version.....
por una cabeza di Carlos GARDEL si sente anche all'inizio di SCHINDLER LIST
una grande musica sempre bellissima a 83 anni dalla nascita
bravo bravo!! dios mio me enamore
amoo de mais essa musica, é o tango que mais adoro :)
O John Williams é citado indevidamente!!!
Великолепно!! Вадик ты сделал мне день!
Let us suit that rhythm with which it is performed For A Head it is not in fact a tango. Anyway, it sounds very well and the melody is faithful to Carlos Gardel's composition.
What event is this? Is it really just a summer concert or some sort of a fundraising event?
Deberia indicarse que la pieza es obra del gran Carlos Gardel y Alfredo Le Pera.
In the first place, I am surprised that the song has been presented so:
John Williams
Esence of a woman
Tango.
And regrettably, it is not named Carlos Gardel. As well it is known, he is been born in Tolouse, France and grown in Buenos Aires from very young, no matter how much the Uruguayans invent another thing.
It is obvious that musical arrangements belong to John Williams. But, who is this orchestra's director and who is the violinist? (I gon on)
Just for once can some film director use another tango song besides Por Una Cabeza? There are so many beautiful tango songs that the world can be exposed to hearing.
Simply beautiful ❤💙
Unbelievably moving.
por una cabeza, de gardel y lepera, para la lista de schinler y perfume de mujer, dos exitos del cine yanki,
The most recognizable portion of the melody is inspired by Mozart's Rondo for violin and orchestra in C major, K. 373.
@luisllaury Yes ! Viva GARDEl y ARGENTINA !!! ( from Japan )
Very misleading, It was composed by the great Carlos Gardel and is called "Por una cabeza".
This "arrangement" is by John Williams. I am surprised Gardel's lawyers haven't sued RUclips
for misidentifying this music. I am also surprised at the viscousness of some of the comments.
"Harry, no Harry. Stay on mission. Forget the tango." I know this song more from True Lies
love it!!!
MASTERPIECE!
