Ravel: Boléro - BBC Proms 2014

[@kissgavril3691]

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.

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!

[@rickpitts2277]

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

[@marcschonbrun585]

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.

[@marshuebler1924]

I heard that and always thought it was off but sounds so good at the same time

[@niapawina]

Yes yes yesss such a minor yet so important detail!

[@UnshavenStatue]

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.

[@rhwallis]

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 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.

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.

[@minanes6549]

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!

[@YitzchakHornik]

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

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.

[@robertbrynin9451]

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.

[@r.hulsewe8353]

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.

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.

[@JimC]

"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."

When the violins come in playing the melody, they are very humble, where in a lesser performance they would feel that they should dominate. They blend in with the crescendo going on in the piece as a whole.

To everyone complaining about the speed of this wonderful piece of music: Please calm down, keep your opinions to yourselves and enjoy the music; if I, here in South Africa, can enjoy it despite it's speed so can you.

Nate the beauty of it is that they keep adding more and more instruments

It's my favorite classic piece. Masterpiece

The Bolero at this tempo is robust and more enjoyable than the slower tempo. Bravo for the Divan!
