Russian Sailor's Dance from "The Red Poppy", Reinhold Gliere

[@avaromero6553]

measure 26 is my absolute favorite when we (violins) just get to sit and watch the amazing cellists and violists play their beautiful part for 24 measures.

[@Eli-hp7sm]

Ava Romero Yassssssss, Sameeeeeeee

[@mollymoocow7908]

I love that part too! I am also a violinist soo I absolutely love that part

[@anna-pj3oz]

Agree completely

[@lestersolnin7355]

I played the viola in high school and remember that measure very well!

[@GI.Joker06]

Agreed

[@lestersolnin7355]

OMG! This takes me back to my high school days! I just heard it on a classical demand channel ands it stated the title "The Red Poppy." I said to myself it has another name. Looking through You Tube, I saw "The Red Poppy..The Russian Sailors Dance!!" That's it..The Russian Sailors Dance. Always loved this song.

I played this in high school. Oh my, I loved it so much! Thank you for posting this and taking me back!

I love watching this conductor. He's so fun. Check out the leg kick and emphatic wave of his baton at 1:07. That's awesome. Why didn't any of the conductors I played for ever conduct like this? Ok, I admit, I was in a pretty much backwater town when I first learned to play the Cornet from Mr. LaRue. I'm surprised I can still remember his name and what he looked like. In Junior High, I played for Mr. Robert Barnum, great great grandson of P.T. Barnum, the circus man. He has to have been the best teacher of any of my classes let alone my music classes. He taught me French Horn and also Violin so I played horn in the band and violin in the orchestra. Later he got me an audition with a "semi-pro" wind orchestra in Ventura where I played either 3rd Horn or sometimes there was a 4th French Horn part and I played that. One of the pieces I heard for the first time ever was when we played it, Pictures At An Exhibition by Mussorgsky. I have always loved classical music and that is still one of my favorites 55 years later. But the piece in this video I heard in my parents living room on a big old fashioned (at the time it was top of the line) Magnavox Console stereo. The Russian Sailor Dance is one of, if not THE favorite pieces I ever heard. This is an awesome presentation of it.

My class is playing this song! I'm using it to help me sight read

[@sophiapostma4057]

I played a strings arrangement of this in high school! Loved it SO MUCH!!

[@varshasriram7154]

This is an amazing piece. I’m learning it right now :)

[@chrisbaker2903]

I must have watched this piece done by a dozen different conductors/orchestras since I found this one a moth ago and IMHO this is the very best and I still get a bit teary eyed when I listen to it thinking about listening to it as a teenager with my family.

[@mollymoocow7908]

What a beautiful song!!

[@MaxGogleMogle]

Да, но слова этой песенки ужасно неприличные - во многих ее версиях, в оригинале этой матросской песенки начала 20 века....

[@melissawelch6018]

I'm playing this piece in orchestra! This is an amazing performance, I just wish someone's camera wasnt beeping during it. 😒

[@chrisbaker2903]

If there is anyone who has a better version of this music on the web I sure haven't been able to find it. Yep, I'm addicted to it.

[@isaac.rod.]

we used to play a simpler version of this in elementary and it got us into a higher music group in middle school

[@Trainer_Ruffles]

Me too

[@lisalevesque4872]

I love this song I played it this year and lm nine

[@piggyandcrafteh4376]

This is quite possibly my favorite song that I've played (I'm a violist and we don't usually get a lot of good parts but rsd has LOTS of wonderful parts)

[@eleanormorgan2916]

My all time favorite piece.

[@emarks232]

I'm learning this song in school

[@chrisbaker2903]

Back again. I just posted a copy of the link to this page in a comment I made to the author of a fan fiction web site when he had his character mention as "old music" the song "dream On". I about laughed myself silly at that comment. Also, I just notice the hop he gives at 3:47 into the piece. What a cool conductor. So into the music.

[@extendedreal]

I’m playing this

[@chrisbaker2903]

It was playing in my head one morning when I woke up and I think I must have listened to at least 10 different recordings that day.

I’m here from Aly Raisman’s 2016 floor routine.

So am I! High five, mate! 🙏🏼

[@MarziAudios]

someones camera needs to quit beeping😐 amazing overall im playing this tomorrow actually and im a bassist lol

[@yea1699]

that end was powerful and amazing

[@chrisbaker2903]

It would be nice if you learned to use words that were not so rude and crude. You enjoy music with class, you should use language to match. I'm sure you can do it considering your appreciation of this sophisticated music.

[@yea1699]

@@chrisbaker2903 Sorry if it was really vulgar I edited it so It wasn't too bad I just really love music that has powerful winds and percussion

[@Mia-zn2dr]

I’m playing this song while the high schoolers while I’m in middle school lol

[@SolveThisMurderIn60Seconds]

Me too What grade are you in

[@bmtgaming5025]

I fucking love this

[@cornboy7424]

who let the baby in there god damnit

[@chrisbaker2903]

The parents are teaching their kid to love classical music. Without newbies any culture will die out never to be heard from again. Yes it can be distracting a bit but just be glad they love classical music to take their kid to the concert.

[@colbcarp]

WOW

[@GI.Joker06]

Quite Cheeki Breeki.

[@SolveThisMurderIn60Seconds]

2:25 this sounds like a fan made one piece video

[@ashphodeldimixtry26]

this piece is great but the violin part is terrifying my god

[@SolveThisMurderIn60Seconds]

Real

[@legacy_well3398]

I felt like the whole was a bit slow, kept dragging and was slight behind the beat at times. Even at the end it felt sluggish

[@brandonwilliams8151]

Why do i see this comment in every single russian sailors dance video. Its either every single orchestra is just that bad, or people just think that way.

[@C8T3SS]

I think the way they play it goes really good with the style of the song

[@legacy_well3398]

@@C8T3SS I agree it works with slow part style, but the ending is supposed to be intense, the composer specifically wrote it to be a big moment

[@chrisbaker2903]

It's supposed to be slower and majestic, and it is. But if you want a faster version, listen to this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZorSmaKFr9CFn7s
