Makes a real difference when it's played superbly and expertly conducted.

[@TheRunner75]

Impressive masterpiece. Boulez was a top composer and conductor.

[@jacquesweber2384]

Précision millimétrique et clarté absolue dans cette partition foisonnante, la direction de P Boulez est impressionnante !...

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

11:21 That’s got to be the evilest shit I’ve ever heard. Sick as hell

[@jean-claudecalise7470]

Thats genuine professionalism: GIANT !!! Merci.

[@slateflash]

25:50 I don't understand why they would NOT want to show the trombones staggering their glissandos for 20-ish bars here. Surely that's more interesting than whatever the oboes are doing?!

[@kbbl102.5]

Fear, mischief, power. This brings me delicious and genuine terror. Addictive stuff.

[@alfredoechevarrieta7512]

Gracias

[@jean-claudecalise7470]

Total maestria! Impressive.

[@ninadasilva1867]

Now I want to see the ballet with chorus.

[@elianeluty2065]

This is the cry of the soul

[@mypetalgae]

the best performance ever

[@MrInterestingthings]

What year was this scored . Amazingly new textures and lines in every bar though pretty tonal - an amazing score !

[@soundtreks]

Bartok wrote it between 1917 and 1922.

[@TheSolidsoundwavesif]

1919

[@stanislawmroz7619]

Comb-over-destroyingly good

[@heiwiik8744]

groovy

[@user-pi2tl8iu6z]

참 좋습니다(very good)!

[@tommyhu7468]

This version with chorus at the end is different from most of this piece on KZbin, maybe it's original, rather than the adaptation by composer after its first performance.

[@caginn]

This is the original work. The others you've seen are cut version (by composer), version which doesn't required the chorus so that can be performed with an orchestra alone.

[@alejov923]

It's the complete ballet, not the suite.

[@slateflash]

Yes, this is the full ballet of the REVISED version. For the real, ORIGINAL version without any cuts and with different orchestration at some parts check out this performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJC0qoGHqJuhf9E

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Piano through different audio channel is weird

[@miguel-jq4bv]

At thar time the Vienna Philarmonic without women yet?

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Does it get better than this?

[@sorbonne]

No. It just gets different from this.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

​@@sorbonne Profound!

[@g9jolley]

Why are there only men in this orchestra?

[@jmister28]

Why does it matter

[@reidwhitton6248]

It matters to women. They want top orchestra positions like male musicians.

[@KaterinaStamatelos]

Vienna Philharmonic is the best orchestra in the world and, from my own experience, the Viennese never had anything against women. But, when a woman is not "good enough" for this orchestra, she is not accepted. Period. Things have changed since then: more women have become better performers, good enough for the standards of this orchestra. Anyhow, the Viennese would never apply the RICIDUCLOUS American "politically correct" stupidity. That's only fit for idiots.

[@leonlinton634]

​@@jmister28It matters because the Vienna Philharmonic refused to hire women at the time of this recording, which is nothing short of ridiculous.

Bartoks Komposition gleicht einer Aneinanderreihung von Orchester-Geräuschen statt komponierter Musik. - Heinz

[@Altonahh10]

Ungarisch ist für mich eine Sprache, die ich nicht verstehe. Aber sie hat ihre Funktion, wenn man sie lernt. Bartok macht es einem nicht leicht, aber der Zusammenhang der "Orchester-Geräusche" ist für mich unüberhörbar und somit verständlich. Die Sprache Bartoks ist auch in seiner Klaviermusik von polarisierender Art, manche mögen sie, manche hassen sie, weil sie kompliziert ist. Jedem das Seine :-)
