    We have had 4 days of wild thrashing wind and horizontal rain -- a perpetual Night on Bald Mountain -- and I just had to play this. I also forgot how I loved the music for the sunrise, the sun ALMOST seems to rise, then sinks back and tries again, and sinks back and at last it bursts forth in harp-blessed arpeggios. Wonderful! The day outside is still wild and tumultuous, but I wait for the serenity of the sunrise. Thank you for starting my day.

    @billchambers1456 8 лет назад +94

    You all can chop my head off if you like, but I like this rendition! I personally think that the slow tempo reveals lines and phrases that are not heard when it is played fast. The orchestration is quite dense and it needs to be played slowly to hear all of the nuances in the piece. Your mileage will vary, of course, but I prefer "Bald Mountain" played at a slow tempo like this conductor did.
    One other point: The Ludvig Symphony Orchestra is not a world-class orchestra, so I cut them some slack that I would not give to the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symnphony, or the New York Philharmonic. I don't demand perfect musicianship. If a piece is played well enough that I can enjoy it, I am content. And i enjoyed this rendition!

    Dedicated to the
    people of Quora:
    Ride your branches,
    fly up high,
    evil in the midnight sky.
    Call your demons
    up from hell,
    rise in the cloudy,
    windy swell.
    Seek you all
    who dwell above,
    who treat with treachery,
    not with love.
    Harry them
    from place to place,
    across the moon's
    bright white face.
    Never resting,
    give no peace,
    miserable life
    without cease.
    Let them suffer
    from madness long,
    scant, cold comfort,
    death's final song.

      The "soundtrack" or whatever you're calling it is irrelevant. This piece of music was composed 154 years ago and has nothing to do with any modern movie, let alone some random "soundtrack." There is NO definitive "soundtrack" to this music. And thus, no definitive way of portraying it. Orchestras and Conductors are free to play this piece any way they wish. Fast or slow. It's all good.

    Slower than I’m used to hearing it, but I rather like this version. Some orchestras take it almost too fast, like they’re trying to show off, and it loses the musicality. If you start off blazingly fast, you have nowhere to go when you’re supposed to go faster. In this version, you hear the intent behind each note and each phrase really stands out.
