Ravel - Bolero

The Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra 100th Anniversary Special Concert
Myung-Whun Chung
May 2, 2012/ Suntory Hall

[@selmirikanovic]

The best and , for me, the most beloved fact about Bolero is how it gradually grows! It starts as a single, faint sound of a single instrument and grows in a way a hurricane grows from a few drops of water that evaporates from an ocean, slowly turning into something majestic and endlessly powerful.

[@sepultura6371]

Karajan is the best!!!

[@luisdiazlopez3712]

An excellent description of this little master work, Mr. Ikanovic

[@benjaminmacauley9388]

I listened to dozens and dozens interpretation of this. And, in my humble opinion, this right here is by far the best. The difference between this and dozens other is, in this interpretation they're not just playing a note.... They put theirs soul into each note. You can feel it. This is so moving, it make you want to 😭😭😭 .

[@sepultura6371]

Karajan is the best!!!

[@normanzurich2781]

L’âme est un concept religieux qui n’a aucune réalité scientifique. Je préfère le mot « sensibilité ». 💋💋💋

[@naughtmoses]

An utterly humble, unpretentious and no nonsense fellow of very unusual movements, Myung never fails to live up to his rep as the conductor most of the major orchestras on the planet would love to hire. His "Pictures" and Mahler 4th with the Paris Radio Orchestra are unparalleled. Let's hope Mr. Kim can find more videos of this guy.

[@ddochiw6902]

40여년 볼레로 공연들 중 단연 으뜸! 정명훈 지휘자님! 전혀 지루함이 없음

[@sepultura6371]

Karajan is the best !!!

[@Morningdew162]

라벨 볼레로는 도쿄필하모닉 100주년기념 버전이 제일 완벽,,,본토를 뛰어넘은 스킬과 디테일이 아주 훌륭,,,마지막 피날레부분의 웅장함은 귀를때려박은 감동마저 선사

[@joaobasofi8134]

I never get tired of watching this wonderful video. And the best time is when the conductor goes into a trance. Beautiful, splendid, wonderful.

[@michaelreisser6986]

So do I. I go in a trance, too!

[@laser2sail]

Also, watch the string instrumentalist to his right. She's moving in time through the entire piece.

[@spikespa5208]

For sheer minimalism in conducting: this piece, 2014 BBC Proms, Daniel Barenboim.

[@mahmoudramdane2848]

He did? when?

[@Para343]

Outstanding, amazing..words can't describe this orchestra. My goosebumps and tears do the best I can do. It is my all time favorite rendition, and I never get tired of watching and listening to it. Fabulous musicians all of them. Ravel would be so proud.

[@bratschenk9475]

Chung really made the Tokyo phil raised to a different level!!!

[@michaelreisser6986]

Well spoken, really, these guys are on a higher level than any of their western colleagues!

[@eyama1834]

Watching Myung-Whun Chung conduct this piece is exciting. This piece was wonderful, but the last part of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 filled me with emotion.

[@sandraoxom]

Bolero!

[@beckypage8303]

My favorite conductor by far!

[@sepultura6371]

Karajan is the best!!!

[@franceeternelle7654]

Superbe interprétation de Mr Chung et superbe exécution du philarmonique de Tokyo. Mille fois merci à Kim Cul Deok pour la mise en ligne de ce moment extraordinaire.

[@MrModrisdraba]

The beginning of the piece in the performance of this orchestra and conductor is the most beautiful - the soul of this piece awakens.

[@jessegriffin8775]

Spectacular for me. These folks are so great at making great music.

[@user-Yoh.I]

いつ聴いてもボレロ、いいですねえ～。 特にスネアドラム、かっこいい～。 Bolero is good no matter when you listen to it. Especially the snare drum is cool ~.

[@allenquartermane6134]

If I were young enough I would go to Japan just to see their performance in person and I love the way the lady behind the conductor is so into it! The perfection is so over the top and I just can't stop listening to them.

[@robert32634]

i agree with you. like your name. reminds me when i read rider haggard books in my youth

[@martischallern6455]

me, too!!

[@Brissieskater1]

The conductor is a very unique person.

[@user-jk3iq3iw7g]

Σήμερα περάσαμε στο ηροδιο αττικού. Τέλεια είσαστε φοβερός. Μπράβο ΣΑΣ

[@allenquartermane6134]

I still keep coming back here to listen to this incredible version of one of the greatest musical pieces of all time, and I bet Maurice Ravel would be proud of these wonderful musicians and conductor !

[@Julia-uu7fs]

I like this version

[@user-xh2kj4ui4r]

Oh! how wonderful Ravel Bolero it is! I would feel Maestro Chung let them play at the discretion of themselves.

[@hallroney]

amazing, they function like a machine i love it

[@kaseemwilliams1054]

I love how emotional the entire orchestra is. Like very emotionally involved especially the entire string section they brought it to life from their melody all the way to the end! I would recommend the Leonard Bernstein performance of Bolero he always does a wonderful job of holding certain sections back so that others can be heard. He used the woodwinds extremely well better than I’ve heard in other recordings.

[@o-h7567]

mystical, hypnotic...brilliant.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Counting this video, I've now watched a dozen renditions of this masterpiece, some are better than others, however your's is the finest in all aspects, nice work 😊❤

[@johannesspecial]

The best Bolero i've ever listening

[@darylharvey2865]

No one overplaying, but every instrument can be heard as clear as day. Give the engineer a raise.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Pleasantness of Bolero is an order of magnitude awsome

[@vidratabs1]

what a powerful musc. congrats Tokyo

[@lappylappy7269]

Superb version! Maurice would be very proud of this rendition 🇬🇧

[@libellulelibellule2653]

Plus de mots, juste une émotion et les battements de mon coeur 💟💟💟

[@Julia-uu7fs]

정말 멋진 공연이네요 😊

[@luisdiazlopez3712]

Gran espectáculo visual y auditivo. Ver y escuchar la manera en que la reiterativa melodía va circulando por las diversas familias de instrumentos, con notorio protagonismo de alguno de ellos, mientras el volumen va "in crescendo" y aumenta la agógica es eso, un espectáculo visual y auditivo. Pequeña por su duración, el Boleroes una gran obra maestra.La dirección del maestro Miyung-Whun Chung es de excelencia. Recuerdo una muy buena version de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Chile bajo la direccion del maestro David del Pino Klinge, con el tambor situado a su lado, marcando espectacularmente el ritmo.

[@deidification]

Muito lindo 😍

Myung-Whun Chung, maestro sensacional; gestos justos e completo domínio da orquestra.

[@michaelreisser6986]

Si, maestro sensacional, this is the right expression!

Pavane For A Dead Princess is also one of Ravel's best pieces. Ir was popularized as The Lamp Is Low.

PAZ.....LIBERTAD.....SALUD....FELI CIDAD......RESPETO......DIGNIDAD.....

[@SWJMONET]

처음엔 조용하게 시작하다가 나중에는 거의 영혼을 미치도록 갈아넣아 연주하는 듯한 이런 느낌은 정명훈 샘의 볼레로에서만 느낄수 있다고 저는 생각합니다. 유니크한 타악기의 리듬을 듣노라면 정말 몸이 긴장되고 경직되면서 한없이 빠져드는 듯한 느낌이 드는데, 라디오프랑스연주 버전도 이 은근한 광기(?)가 제대로 발휘되었던 놀라운 연주입니다. 관심있으신 분들은 꼭 들어보시기 바랍니다. 여러 버전을 들어도, 정명훈 샘의 볼레로가 제 기준 최고인것 같습니다.

[@user-bb8gt2tu2t]

いい意味でスタンダードな演奏。テンポもこれくらいがベスト。 二つのSAXの音が甘くて、良い。(#^.^#)

[@TheWorldOfRagus]

I got to say: Bolero already is a very unique piece of music, but this fine orchestra brings it to a new higher level. No „bling bling“ but every tone of this piece is so wonderfully interpreted, this quality is not found very often. I‘m very grateful that this magic moment is available on this platform. Chapeau.

[@PeatTaylor1]

Very good saxophone parts ... :)

[@clash4ever]

I am actually a rocker, actually a punk, but I still have an enormous respect for classical music, because it has something that modern rock music lacks, namely melody. And when something like that is presented in such an unbelievably beautiful way, even a punk gets soft.
