Right 13:16 just before the "twist" cadence (V dominant sol si ré >>> mi sol# si) !!! The tempo seems to fast for me for a "bolero danse"...Many thanks for the grid.
Thank you for observing that part with the man making use of his singular snare drum. Thanks to you,.I hadn't noticed it, during the other times I've played/watched it ! Still 1 of my favorites. bye.
To compose such a short piece (less than a minute), to be repeated 18 times changing only "decor elements" and instruments ... and you can never get bored no matter how much you listen ... MAN , that means GENIUS. I love Bolero of Ravel.
The part of this that inspires me the most is not what you might expect. The drummer has to maintain the rhythm above the sounds coming from all directions and as this piece builds, it must be difficult to concentrate fully on getting that exactly right and then bam! 2 drummers, perfectly in time with the piece and each other. Awesome.
Barenboim not conducting at the beginning is the highest level of respect for his musicians that anyone can give. He is a true master, and the musicians are more than inspired by this. This is what gives us a truly stupendous performance!
How can you say he isn't directing, he brings each instrument in with a glance and nod of the head, giving a minimal Que for the timing he wants, but yes he then leaves the job of playing to his pro's and they are superb
Oh no... He was definitely conducting. You do not need to flail your arms like a pompous idiot to be an effective conductor. Sometimes a facial expression, head nod, etc. is all that is needed.
>> This piece of music never fails to give me goosebumps ... @joannfisher9692 I wish I could say the same, but unfortunately I cannot. Yes, this music definitely has that effect on me. But only when I am actually *hearing* it.
The tempo is perfect. Just the right balance between leisurely and urgency, assisted by a rock solid hypnotic snare--its amazing Ravel didnt think much of the work....its genius on a certain atypical level
Si', la lentezza, la quasi assenza, la monotonia, la pazienza ipnotica, sono insiemi di suoni lontani che avanzano, e crescono crescono . Incute incatenamento verso la magnificenza.

Al escuchar el Bolero de Ravel es simplemente motivo de prenderme y tener una actitud positiva todo el día y procuro escucharla todas las mañanas, lo máximo.
In high school jazz, our band director would start us off with a finger snap, then smile and meander away to watch. I'm not putting conductors down by any means, and I can't speak for anyone else's experience, but after I've played a piece of music up, down, backward, forward, and sideways, I'm not going to pay the conductor much mind until we reach the cues I know I need to pay attention to, like holds/starts/stops. Look closely at everyone but the percussion section. Their heads are buried in their music, haha.
I prefer this tempo too but Ravel actually intended it to be played far more slowly than this and got in altercations with other composers or conductors who tried to play it at this tempo. If interested, read the wiki article on this piece and listen to the recording as conducted by the composer himself embedded on the page.
The piccolo a parallel minor 9th above the melody never ceases to amaze me. I listened to this piece for years and never noticed it. Once I did, I cannot not hear it. How Ravel just threw in such a huge dissonance and hid it in plain view is yet another reason I love this piece so much. The greatest crescendo in history.
well it's a lot more than a ninth, like a 17th or or 25th something, which makes the main line's overtones much closer spaced, and so more able/likely to resonate with the piccolo' s fundamental frequency. all in all, it makes for bizarre yet bizarrely pleasing listening experience, where the interplay over the main overtones with the ultrahigh fundamental makes for some weird auditory "illusions" of harmony, effectively hiding the wild interval in plain view as you said.
The horn and celeste are playing the main melody in C major. The two (2) piccolos are playing harmony in E major and G major. The resulting harmonies and overtones are sublime and sometimes mysterious to listeners.
the music is quiet they're only just starting one or 2 musicians playing I think I'll have a bloody good HACKING LUNG PURGING COUGH so that i clear the old lungs before we get to the Loud parts when they might not be able to hear my bloody stupid selfish hacking.
We all know what this march is all about. The build up over 14 minutes. The crashing crescendo. I won't say much more. Only that I can't get past the opening drum beat these days...

Браво оркестру! Огромное спасибо тому,кто это снял на видео,хорошо видно,как инструменты один за другим вступают в это волшебство музыки Равеля.Это восхитительно!
The coughing fan seems to follow the Bolero wherever it goes. He made his appearence at the Orquestra Joven de La Sinfónica de Galicia wonderful performance. Always enthusiastic, albeit a bit phleghmy.
He was missing from the performance by the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert Von Karajan, but made an appearance for the Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev, sorry I can't remember which Philharmonic Orchestra that one was, but he was really gurgling for that performance 😀 😄
Great performance. And a good example of the type of dynamically nuanced and tight performance that comes from a mutually respectful relationship between players and conductor. Barenboim doesn't patronise them by waving a stick at them for a hundred pages of the same rhythm, and they clearly observe and follow him when he 'grows' the music at each stage. Very satisfying performance!
I have loved this piece since music lessons at Secondary school, when our music teacher played this beautiful piece and asked the class to identify each instrument as it came in. That was 60 years ago.
The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, where young Arabs and Jews perform and live side by side. For Daniel Barenboim, co-founder of the ensemble, the orchestra is a symbol for what could be achieved in the Middle East. Fantastic, what music can do; the way it can transcend cultural barriers, bring people together, defeat prejudice and overcome religious and political differences. Music can help people from different points of view find common ground.
With respect, the orchestra does not comprise Arabs and Jews, it comprises Jewish and Arab Israelis, other Arabs, Spaniards and other non-Arab people from the Middles East. I mention this to make the point that it isn't about Jews and others working together, it's surely about many peoples from the Middle East working together. It's a subtle but important difference.
Perhaps they will someday perform with Peaceplayers International. The Ballet that is basketball. Among the children of Israel and the West Bank. As here, teammates.
It certainly can but the problem in the middle east in particular are the religious zealous cretins who want to shove their superstitious nonsense down peoples throats creating hostility and inevitable wars
No need to pity anyone my boy. He doesn't need your pity. And who said that's all he took away from the performance. I would assimilate a lot more than you did!
The piece is great, Daniel Barenboim gives respect to all the musicians, the orchestra is great, and the performance is great. The other beauty is the photography of the concert that lets you understand the part of each and every instrument. Thanks
Does anyone remember the skaters - Torvill and Dean - who performed their final performance to this music? Their performance introduced many people to the music that only classical music buffs had experienced. Not me, but many. I have always been into this stuff - from infancy.
Yes of course I remember, I was 39 years old and didn't think much about the music. Bolero is my favorite now and watched Torvill and Dean last night on RUclips!
It is the Torvill-Dean skating performance that introduced me to this wonderful piece of music. I bought a CD in which this was one of the tracks. I have listened to Bolero countless times and will listen to it forever.
Too fast for me, but still a terrific performance. Wonderful solos. Always kudos to the drums, who can't miss or add one stray beat or the whole house knows about it. Bravo Barenboim!
Such a joy for everyone this piece is. And I imagine one of the best pieces if it's your first time for live orchestra. The theme is more than clear, so it is pure accessibility. Then you get every section shown. Grab a spot above the stage where you can see all the musicians and instruments and that's a profoundly good time.
A beleza e encantamento de uma música não está na sua grandiloquencia instrumental mas justamente na grandeza da simplicidade de suas notas musicais. Walter - Brasil
To play the same snare pattern for 14 minutes takes real skill. To be focussing on the pattern...as well as the conductor later...is a sign of pure focus and professionalism.
Como posso me expressar depois de ouvir essa interpretação??? Só quem ouve o rio, pode ouvir o mar e só quem é livre na alma, coração e em sua caminhada na vida, pode fechar os olhos e ouvir e sentir essa magnifica interpretação. 21.outubro 2023
A very, very exciting performance of this popular work. The way Barenboim builds up the tension is remarkable. I have heard many poor performances in the past, this is one of the best. What else do you expect from this Maestro and his beloved orchestra???
I've always loved this piece. I've thought of it as one of the most ingenious pieces of music ever composed. It's reverse music! Instead of keeping the instruments the same and varying dynamics, rhythm and melody, it keeps the dynamics, rhythm and melody the same and varies the instruments! I've Heard this piece a lot of times, and since I got a "Instrument Cue" it was even better, as I could know what was happening always. But in every version I heard there was always something wrong: too fast tempo, not enough extreme dynamics or even not good sound quality for distinguishing the instruments! This version has it all: Perfect dynamic, steady but not boring tempo and incredible sound quality. And what's even more: The entrances of the musicians are remarked by the camera! It's the perfect version.
"It's reverse music! Instead of keeping the instruments the same and varying dynamics, rhythm and melody, it keeps the dynamics, rhythm and melody the same and varies the instruments!" Ravel himself described this as "orchestration with no music". There's an anecdote about one performance. One version is that someone shouted, "This isn't music. This is ANTI-music!" Ravel supposedly answered, "That is the ONLY man who has understood this."
There is no other piece like Bolero. The only one off the top of my head in which the conductor is NOT the glue of the piece...that honor belongs to the snare drummer(s). Barenboim is right to just stand there and cheerlead.
This suggestion is coming pretty late after the original comment; but I’d say that if Bolero is your entry point into classical music, you should start your explorations with some of the great Spanish composers: Granados, de Falla, Albéniz, Soler, Scarlatti (who basically ended up a Spanish/Portuguese composer even though he started out Italian). Then move on to the Spanish-inspired pieces of French composers such as Bizet, Debussy, and Ravel, followed by the general French repertory. Continue your exploration with music from the U.K., the Americas, Russia, and other countries; but save the German and Austrian composers for last, as those will probably take the most getting used to.
Let's all put our heads together & write LYRICS to this piece! I'm $ERIOUS! But 1st, ya'll need to do some homework; "THE CRAFT OF LYRIC WRITING" is now a FREE PDF file: docs.google.com/file/d/0B1_n6SBfrx03VkNKZzhER3V4UzQ/edit?pli=1 Note , because it was written in 1985, keep in mind that technology has evolved quite a bit! (DUH!) So ignore the 'the casio keyboard' suggestion.
It's rather morbid but this piece always makes me think of someone slowly slipping into the naivety of dementia. The innocent and repetitive theme becomes ever more pressing as the world becomes cloudier.
Magnifique interprétation!! Daniel Barenboïm a une façon très personnelle de diriger l'orchestre, d'ailleurs au début il est surtout dans l'écoute, laissant jouer les musiciens...Bravo!
Gorgeous music, fantastic performance, terrible camera work! Don't cut off the performers' heads, for goodness sake! 😂

Too fast
A little too fast for me. This is a sensual piece. This tempo feels more like trotting on a horse.

Incute incatenamento verso la magnificenza.
Few pieces give so many opportunities for individuals to shine. An orchestra is a being, the parts become one, as this shows in every way. A triumph.
Listening to this music on a raining day, on the beginning feel so calm and peaceful but has great power on the end…..❤
Best version I've found on RUclips...IMHO. And how can a piece of music be all at once so mechanized and yet so sensual? Great stuff!

With a good drummer you can just set the orchestra to autopilot and enjoy yourself!

Look closely at everyone but the percussion section. Their heads are buried in their music, haha.
This is a masterpiece.. The guy who wrote it Maurice Ravel was a genius
actually this is one of his tamest. try tzigane or la valse, per example.
Who is this guy? Did He wrote other pieces?... 🤔
He was actually going insane when he wrote this piece
@@sarachristie0 He had aphasia. He was not insane.
Not too fast at all. Just listen to how this tempo allows each soloist to 'swing' the melody. Wonderful.
Ravel himself would have said it was too fast.
I totally agree sir. Perfect tempo, gives it the life it deserves. Most often played too slow.

To play the same snare pattern for 14 minutes takes real skill. To be focussing on the pattern...as well as the conductor later...is a sign of pure focus and professionalism.
Maravilha
Adoro o Bolero de Ravel. ❤❤❤. Cabral Beirão.
The seemingly dissonance works so well and brought to a climax at the end. Brilliant!
The seemingly dissonance? I speak good England!
Tthe most beautiful interpretation of Ravel's Bolero
Heidi Horwell check out Andre Rieu's version. It's my favorite. The finale is magical
UNA JOYA UNIVERSAL!!
Absolutely Brilliant.
Masterpiece, love the Bolero of Ravel❤
Credit to the snare drummers for a solid 14 minutes without fault.
What's with the camera zooming in too close to all the performers as they play their piece?
Como posso me expressar depois de ouvir essa interpretação??? Só quem ouve o rio, pode ouvir o mar e só quem é livre na alma, coração e em sua caminhada na vida, pode fechar os olhos e ouvir e sentir essa magnifica interpretação. 21.outubro 2023
Condivido il tuo bellissimo commento .grazie .
Hi-Hats off to that snare drummer....
A very, very exciting performance of this popular work. The way Barenboim builds up the tension is remarkable. I have heard many poor performances in the past, this is one of the best. What else do you expect from this Maestro and his beloved orchestra???
If your a certain age you hear this and instantly think Torvill and Dean!
I've always loved this piece. I've thought of it as one of the most ingenious pieces of music ever composed. It's reverse music!
Instead of keeping the instruments the same and varying dynamics, rhythm and melody, it keeps the dynamics, rhythm and melody the same and varies the instruments!
I've Heard this piece a lot of times, and since I got a "Instrument Cue" it was even better, as I could know what was happening always. But in every version I heard there was always something wrong: too fast tempo, not enough extreme dynamics or even not good sound quality for distinguishing the instruments!
This version has it all: Perfect dynamic, steady but not boring tempo and incredible sound quality. And what's even more: The entrances of the musicians are remarked by the camera! It's the perfect version.
"It's reverse music! Instead of keeping the instruments the same and varying dynamics, rhythm and melody, it keeps the dynamics, rhythm and melody the same and varies the instruments!"
Ravel himself described this as "orchestration with no music".
There's an anecdote about one performance. One version is that someone shouted, "This isn't music. This is ANTI-music!" Ravel supposedly answered, "That is the ONLY man who has understood this."
Ya~ and " Luischocolatier" obviously read the same wiki that YOU did. ("experts" my tail...)
There is no other piece like Bolero. The only one off the top of my head in which the conductor is NOT the glue of the piece...that honor belongs to the snare drummer(s). Barenboim is right to just stand there and cheerlead.
I saw this piece conducted by Barenboim at the Salzburg Music Festival, August 22, 2014. Best concert I ever saw.
Let’s be honest, the real hero of this piece is the snare drummer :) playing the same rhythm for 15 minutes straight.
Pleasantness of Bolero is immeasurable profound, and an order of magnitude awsome
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤va multumesc mult suprematie muzicala si spirituala ecaterina
Very scary to hear all this coughing malarkey when you are watching this video in 2020!😳😂😂😂...Wonderful Bolero!❤️❤️❤️
Qui est Français je dois faire sa en musique ?
moi pareil
Loved the director. Very layed back and let the orchestra do most of the work, and came in at the end. A cool dude !
Yes - he looked as if he was waiting for a bus for the first 6 minutes.
As much as anything, I think, he mostly controls just enough to rein in any over exuberance towards the end.
3:25 Wannabe percussionist from the audience.
Recently just realized I am in love with classical music and I have to say Bolero is the main reason for that.
Try Rossini! Another Great!
Never understood why my Dad liked this type of music....being older and hearing Bolero I get it totally...so hauntingly beautiful !!!!
@@davidlogansr8007 Especially his overtures.
This suggestion is coming pretty late after the original comment; but I’d say that if Bolero is your entry point into classical music, you should start your explorations with some of the great Spanish composers: Granados, de Falla, Albéniz, Soler, Scarlatti (who basically ended up a Spanish/Portuguese composer even though he started out Italian). Then move on to the Spanish-inspired pieces of French composers such as Bizet, Debussy, and Ravel, followed by the general French repertory. Continue your exploration with music from the U.K., the Americas, Russia, and other countries; but save the German and Austrian composers for last, as those will probably take the most getting used to.
The Lark Ascending..... Every time.
Let's all put our heads together & write LYRICS to this piece! I'm $ERIOUS! But 1st, ya'll need to do some homework; "THE CRAFT OF LYRIC WRITING" is now a FREE PDF file: docs.google.com/file/d/0B1_n6SBfrx03VkNKZzhER3V4UzQ/edit?pli=1 Note , because it was written in 1985, keep in mind that technology has evolved quite a bit! (DUH!) So ignore the 'the casio keyboard' suggestion.
Bravo! Very powerful perfomance! Strong,hypnotic ! One of the best !
It's rather morbid but this piece always makes me think of someone slowly slipping into the naivety of dementia. The innocent and repetitive theme becomes ever more pressing as the world becomes cloudier.
This wind instrument is what I love about these compositions, just as Rhapsody in blue
Magnifique interprétation!! Daniel Barenboïm a une façon très personnelle de diriger l'orchestre, d'ailleurs au début il est surtout dans l'écoute, laissant jouer les musiciens...Bravo!
Very apt this was performed on the 30th anniversary year of Torvill and Dean skating to this iconic piece
Torvill and Den dancing to this piece is somethin you can never forget.

the BBC quite clearly knows how to film such an event.
Ravel told composer Arthur Honegger, ‘I’ve written only one masterpiece; Bolero. Unfortunately, it has no music in it’. I beg to differ, sir.
OMG can the people in the audience who are coughing just LEAVE already !!! hahaha ! Sounds like they are dying ! lol
This is a keeper,including naughtiness between two great players in a version you may not have seen.Wonderful.
O sorriso do maestro no final é impagável!!!
