Wiener Philharmoniker - Maurice Ravel - Bolero - Regente Gustavo Dudamel (HD)

[@decaygrim8943]

Shout out to the drummer boy who played the whole 17 minutes without missing a single beat. A metronome couldn’t keep a better tempo.

[@DrumsTheWord]

This is amazingly difficult. To focus for the entire song...playing the same pattern. I'm with you on that, although this guy is a professional!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Also, the conductor is the metronome...making it even more difficult. I'm sure you know that.

[@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG]

@@DrumsTheWord I checked out your channel, and it's nice to see how, coming from a slightly different perspective of drumming, you've come to appreciate something fairly different by the one and only Ravel 😎

[@MrDurbs1]

He did, there's a bound beat at 0:49, quite noticeable, check Dudamel, he's signal him to go piano on it and that's when it happens...there're a few player playing faster than the beat.

[@LAK_770]

I played the snare part in regional orchestra at the state competition. The beginning is maybe the most nervous I've ever been. Obviously any decent musician could sight-read that part passably, but playing it exposed, alone, with perfect metronomic rhythm and flawless intonation, coaxing the loudest instrument in the building down to the threshold of hearing, then managing an even crescendo for 16 minutes, that's another thing entirely. The temptation to lose focus is profound. But by the end, when the groove has long set in and Maurice Ravel has given you and everyone else the go-ahead to play literally as loud as you can, you feel invincible. That stupid ostinato absolutely transcends itself and becomes a spiritual experience.

I visited my 92 year Grandmother today. She said when she was young she would blast this song over and over with her sisters (with my great grandmother getting rather sick of it) but had no recollection of the song at all. She could only describe it to us. It wasn't until my father mentioned it might be Bolero. We played it to her and it was! She was so stoked to hear it again as she wanted to hear the song for years but couldn't recall the composer or tune. On that note - my grandma's sister recently passed away. I only hope she is listening to this glorious song in the next life.

[@darkprose]

It can be your favorite, but it’s not a good _Boléro._ At the climax, Ravel wanted the tam-tam, the cymbals and the bass drum to explode like fireworks. There are no fireworks with Dudamel’s lackluster and indifferent conducting. This is not what Ravel wrote. I can’t hear the tam-tam or the bass drum or even the cymbals. Go listen to de la Parra with the WDR, or Seiji Ozawa with the Boston Symphony, or Chailly with the Royal Concertgebouw. They get this piece. Dudamel does not. Your favorite _Boléro_ does no justice the work. None. As a fellow classical music lover, hearing you and others praise this performance is just depressing. It almost feels like you don’t know _Boléro_ at all. Riches and rewards await you in dozens of superior performances.

My parents both loved Ravel's Bolero, so I grew up listening to the unique and fascinating orchestral masterpiece. Recently I came across this 2010 rendition by the Vienna Philharmonic, with Gustavo Dudamel at the helm, and I was utterly and completely blown away. Dudamel paces it slowly, to the full seventeen minutes, which is exactly what Ravel intended (and famously argued about with conductor Arturo Toscanini decades ago). Each member of the orchestra performs their parts superbly, and the slow pace lets you savor the finest nuances of each instrument's contribution. You can clearly see the unbridled joy and boundless love that Dudamel enthuses, for both the music and the orchestra, with his every gesture and expression. I have fallen in love with Bolero all over again! Since discovering this one, I listened to many recordings of Bolero by other conductors, but none of them have matched this truly extraordinary performance. Bravo, Maestro Gustavo!

It’s a great meditation. Ravel’s Bolero can make you feel as one with the universe.

[@daisyhunt8694]

I've watched many videos of this rendition of Bolero, and I much prefer its slightly slower pace than others I've heard. And this orchestra is perfection!! Who could ask more of this incredible group! And their conductor? He is fantastic, and thats putting it mildly. A big WOW from me! And a huge thank you to you all! Whenever I need a little pick me up, a bit more enthusiasm in my life, this is where I turn to, musically. I'm NEVER disappointed.

[@firstlady6530]

A magnificent rendition. The tempo is perfect, probably the best Bolero I've listened to and watched. The suspense slowly building towards the ending..... aahhh goose bumps. WE are lucky to have such a wonderful conductor as Dudamel. I've been following him since the time he came to The Proms in London, in 2007, with the then Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra. Do yourselves a favour and watch that concert. it was probably THE best concert of all the Proms. And that's saying something.

“The tempo is perfect, probably the best Bolero I've listened to and watched.” As another classical music fan, I find this hagiography by fans of Dudamel to be so depressing.

[@Cgbox1234]

As a Latina, I'm so proud of the conductor. I first heard this piece as part of the movie soundtrack for El Bolero de Raquel when I was a little girl. It's a great movie starring Mexican actor/ comedy legend, Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" ( of Around the World in 80 Days fame; the original version). I love this piece and the movie is great, even if you don't understand Spanish, because it has a lot of slapstick/physical comedy.

So, we were a family of 6 kids plus mom and dad. Mom and Dad owned a house in the mountains (3 hours from our city house) they took us to their mountain house every time they could.

knowing of the dark past and life of Maurice Ravel, this piece really hits different. brings me to tears every time at 16' 45". the pandemonium and anguish that was inside of him.. the build of this piece almost reflects his life and progression through his illnesses that ultimately took his life. masterpiece written by a master

I listened this music in the first season of Digimon when I was 10. I didn't know it was Ravel's Bolero, but I got caught so magically by it that years later I still remembered it. After some research, I found out it was this piece and I listen to it from time to time. 15 years later I have the same feeling I had the first time I listened to it. I get absolutely caught by it.

Is he conducting with his facial expressions? I thought that is what he was doing.

[@TinaButcher-r6m]

Bolero is my favourite piece of music, if you notice your body rhythms is its played they move in sync with it. This is the best version I have ever heard and seen for that matter. I believe the conducting is done using hands head and also facial expressions, a true soul master in action, the jazz additions on the wind instruments was a master stroke. This whole mesmerising video is a masterpiece

[@jhoancamargo4413]

Bolero is my father's favorite & I have been listening to this since I was little. This by far my most favorite rendition of it. Gustavo Duhamel did ad hint of flavor to this classic of classic. Love the trombone & right before the end of when everything come together where change the note to grand finale, that half of the second of hold up is just so exciting.

Last school year I was called to fill in for a 6th grade LA teacher for two weeks. Every day they had 20 minutes of independent reading to do. I played this as a timer each day. The kids were very quite and at the beginning of the weeks they just read but by the third or forth day they got into the music and I would talk about how to communicate. I had many teachers come up to me asking me why I was using music in class because all of the 6th graders were talking about it everywhere - even at home. You would not believe the positive words I got from parents. My two weeks ended and later in the year I filled in for a science teacher and the kids wanted me to play Bolero again but my lesson plan did not give me time. Sorry because this is a beautiful piece!

Was die Wiener Philharmoniker da zeigen ist "outstanding". Die Musiker, der Dirigent und die Kamera-Regie sind excellent. Ich habe das einmal live im Konzertsaal erlebt, dann hört man das nicht nur, sondern man spürt es am ganzen Körper. Jemand der nichts von solcher Musik hält, dann aber die Chance hat so etwas live zu erleben, der ist bekehrt.
