Оркестр просто потрясает и конечно маэстро Плетнев М. Всем благодарность.

This SO reminds me of Arthur Avenue, the Bronx -- in the early cool summer mornings when the sidewalks had just been hosed down and everyone was ready for a beautiful day -- pushcarts, neighbors talking, ladies leaning out the windows, produce sparkling in the sun... What a beautiful time it was for this little kid in the early 50's!!! What beautiful memories this music evokes!!

[@notme123]

This got to me. I am from The Bronx. What about the indoor Arthur Av. Market?

[@gunthersiegel9554]

Sehr schönes Werk, hervorragend interpretiert!

[@051963mf]

Unbelievable, just unbelievable-the beauty of this work is out of this world. Music for the soul.

[@alexkije]

Wondrous to be able to do this solely without having to work in some loathsome 9-5 job. His wealthy family was a Godsend so he could do just this.

[@Glinkaism1]

Truly!

I first heard this in England in the fifties and I have been in love with this ever since

God bless Glazunov! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

My most very favorite piece! Makes me think of frolicking in the forest!!!! I first heard this on satellite radio one winter while preparing my first suckling pig! Mom came over and dined with me and my hubby! Happy times!

Сто лет не слышала 😊 .дома у нас есть пластинка дирижёра С.Самосуда и на одной из сторон этот вальс .я крутила её ежедневно . Было мне очень мало лет тогда .

Pletnjov u rukama ima čarobni štapić...ovakav zvuk orkestra je poput magije...Bravo!

[@michaelpatterson2955]

What a great piece! The more I hear of Glazunov, the more I enjoy his music. Why is this not performed publicly more often?

[@aattura1541]

I keep posting it every so often on FaceBook. Cant ever have too much of a good thing!!

[@alexkije]

Because symphony orchestra programmers are afraid to play such wondrous music. So the sheeple are fed Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. Only Music 101. Shameful. Be glad for KZbin!

[@Glinkaism1]

Heavenly delight to the ears. Thanks for sharing. The music swirls.

Какая музыка!!!!!Божественно!!!!!

[@jackgedzelman5314]

This divine music is an orchestra turned into the waltz of a carousel in which all childhood joys come true and also the dreams of all adults, if those dreams are of the tender beginning of springtime and first falling in love. What beauty could be more divine and delicious than that which this music speaks about in every sound and every breath?

[@Glinkaism1]

Well-said Jack! This is so awesome it brings tears to my eyes. If you want to hear a fiendishly clever concert waltz from a Hollywood composer, go to "The Boys from Brazil" soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith here on YT. He takes Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube" and orchestrates it as if Richard Strauss composed it. :)

[@jimstokes6742]

Ah yes! That was probably too clever for the average sheeple viewer to connect the dots.

[@aattura1541]

@@jimstokes6742 Educate them sheeples. Please-- We need more music lovers. Mom brought me and sis up since we were little tiny kids-- with music; hers was jazz and boogie woogie-- Nonna Lucia's was Italian opera, Auntie Anne's was Classical and then there was Dan Ingram and Cuzin Brucie and 50's Doowop -- heh heh -- us kids didn't miss out on anything -- i even listened to the West VA jamboree at night , in the Bronx (the radio was under my pillow or else the adults would start screaming at me for liking Hillbilly Music -- hey I LOOVED it)

Dove sta il You Tube link per questo???

[@baburajanjames8103]

The kind of music you play as you row a boat with your wife, on a calm river. Glazunov is so I’ll recognized, that many of his very beautiful music is never heard by many as they deserve to.

[@aattura1541]

BRAVO!! When I listen to this: Glazunov's Concert Waltz #1, suddenly I'm 5 yrs old, back on Arthur Avenue, soaking up the sights and sounds and holding my Nonna Lucia's hand. My heart is so overjoyed it's almost painful. Nonna Lucia -- I miss you and those wonderful times!!!

[@joeboyle5864]

Every Russian composer’s waltzes seem to surpass the poor oldWaltz King, Strauss. Tchaikovsky’s are especially good, but Glazunov can run with the very best.

[@abe_48]

That is because Russian composers, in addition to their brains, also used their heart and soul in composing their music. Most compositions from famous German composers appear wooden to me. But for Tchaikovsky's waltzes, they are not just "good" but rather spectacular. Russian waltzes and especially those of Tchaikovsky carry a story replete with human emotions and dialog. And a tad bit of melancholy, as in here, doesn't hurt it at all!

[@sovietclassic5301]

Joe Boyle, not all Russian waltzes are good. but many are great. check Shatrov - "On The Hills Of Manchuria

[@Glinkaism1]

Strauss was probably restricted by the ho hum de dumb Viennese. Russians love lovely music. So Glazy and Peter T. thrived.

[@abe_48]

Thanks for posting this wonderful work of this great Russian composer. IMO, this work embodies the true definition of a "Concert Waltz" with its elegant and serious symphonic structure as substantially distinct from common dance-hall Viennese waltzes; not to mention the Slavic melodies ingrained here that are immortally beautiful with lasting effects on listeners.

[@gustav4351]

Exactly! Russian waltzes areanother level!
