Music to accompany your worst nightmare! I didn't think it could get creepier but then the chorus came in out of nowhere and I had to go hide under the table. Wonderful and dread inspiring orchestral music. Thank you Bartok!

[@jacobtapianieto9655]

The story plot is indeed so obscure, grotesque and terrifying.

[@user-jf7lh6fy1i]

bartok, a great composer. the piece is so innovative!

[@karespratt5131]

This piece has so much character, incredible amount of depth and cool rhythms. I’m OBSESSED with this piece and this performance

I am very grateful for this video, as it is very rare to find a performance of the entire piece in its complete version, and with the complete 2000 revised score. And the performance is fantastic!

Большое спасибо Франкфуртскому оркестру за чудесный концерт!

[@slateflash]

After listening to this again, i realised that they are playing the original version of the piece WITHOUT all the cuts that Bartok made. For instance, 24:10 to 25:16 is heavily cut in the revised version and this original uncut version is EXTREMELY RARELY played

[@Perpetualsify]

[@voiceover2191]

Great performance and of course fantastic piece, and to me the first time I heard the entire piece. I'm used to 19 minute version and I probably have to get used to this version as, to be honest, I find the 15 minutes following rather boring and not really adding anything, except the choir part, that was nice and it also fizzles out at the end while the 19-minute version ends on a spectacular high. Ah well, give it a few more listens.

[@petrusdenoude8837]

Los van de perfecte uitvoering wil ik stil staan bij de "video master". De V.M. moet de partituur en setting goed bekend zijn om de accenten van de verschillende instrumenten

Schauen Sie sich die Partitur an, dort ist auch die Handlung beschrieben. Eine sehr brutale Geschichte ist das. Nach der Kölner Uraufführung wurde sogar weitere Aufführung vom damaligen Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer verboten!

For almost 80 years I have tried, maybe six times, to listen to this piece with open mind, trying to understand it and to like it. I can not. This time is enough for me. Great orchestra, great sound but no message

[@levelont5560]

Can you please elaborate?

[@sneddypie]

theres actually a whole story written alongside of this, might want to take a look at that, it might help you enjoy this 😉 i mean, personally i always loved this, but the story really makes a different experience

[@sneddypie]

also its quite underwhelming that in 80 years you only tried 6 times. in 2 months ive listened to this 6 times!

[@slateflash]

No, it just means that after 80 years you still haven't understood it. The messages are clear

[@juanmaMCMLXXXII]

@@sneddypie I was going to say exactly that. But it's perhaps, quite simply, that he don't like the piece, and that's perfectly normal. Not all music can be satisfactory to everybody.

[@wormswithteeth]

[@ibish9513]

[@lepidoptera9337]

This what happens when a classical composer tries too hard. It's not enjoyable and it wasn't even innovative. Every single musician in that orchestra can make better music all by themselves. In other words... this was a waste of an entire orchestra.

[@roward48]

Sorry, but I completely disagree. I would apply your description to many atonal or 12 tone compositions, but this work, although dissonant, is not atonal. I find Bartok's two violin and piano sonatas much more difficult to listen to than this work. This is a fantastic performance for those who can appreciate this work.

[@lepidoptera9337]
