    I choose to believe that this is an absolutely enormous conductor with a normal sized baton.

    I first heard Ravel's Bolero on a recording my father had over 65 years ago. It became my anthem. This performance of it is spectacular. The tune never gets old. :)

      I was hoping it was true :)
      I`m not a big lover of classical music but must admit the time flew by watching this masterful performance. It`s so inspiring to watch so many talented musicians who have toiled many a year to get to that stage, literally :).
      Thanks e s much for the info.
      Most sincerely

      @naybobdenod 8 лет назад +1

      I agree re the synchronised remark. Yet put the musicians in separate rooms and this interaction would not be possible. They literally have to be close and at hand for all of them to gel.This may seem a little far fetched but its a fact that has been proven.
      I will try my best to find the video for you to watch as its very interesting !!!!

  • @victorquebec5929
    @victorquebec5929 5 лет назад +5

    I've always been asking what on Earth a conductor does in orchestra?! After listening to Bolero many times before conducted by Dudamel, Jansons, Mehta and so on I understood that this performance by Gergiev is the one that even Ravel would like himself... I can sleep relaxed now, as I understood the secret behind conductor's role!

    I wonder if Ravel himself realised how much genius lay behind this piece. It never fails to amaze and entrance me. (and I am a composer)

    • @Deliverygirl
      @Deliverygirl 8 лет назад +3

      +Peter Klatzow I recall reading about him saying that wasn't too fond of it. "I have written a masterpiece, yet there is no music in it". Probably something to do with the lack of counterpoints, and somewhat flatness of the piece, that boils down to a glorified (and oh so pleasant too) crescendo.

    both the performance and the conducting, omg they are just amazing. I like this 'perfect' tempo and steadiness till the end. it is a little bit funny that the conductor uses a toothpick but nonetheless I think this version of bolero to be the best. BRAVO :^)

  • @16Lizards
    @16Lizards 9 лет назад +6

    Ravel was often critical about how his most famous piece was interpreted, but I think if he were alive today, he'd approve of this performance. Without a doubt, the best rendition I have heard of this magnificent piece of music. At least 4050 drum beats!

This particular one is quite stirring, and I had only to hear a few minutes before I was completely in awe of M. Gergiev's utter mastery of his craft. A toothpick for a baton? A Titan fells a mighty forest with a mere eyelash!
