Sat with my 2 1/2 year old daughter on my lap and she was able to watch all 19 minutes, which is unusual. A great video to show how all the parts of the orchestra work together. An inspiration to young musicians.
I first heard Ravel's Bolero on a recording my father had over 65 years ago. It became my anthem. This performance of it is spectacular. The tune never gets old. :)
Man, unbelievable performance. The conductor and Orchestra appeared to be possessed in this, one of the best versions of Bolero that I have seen or heard in my 60+years of life. 😢😅 What a long, strange trip it's been Keep on truckin' 😎✌️
lol I was hoping it was true :) I`m not a big lover of classical music but must admit the time flew by watching this masterful performance. It`s so inspiring to watch so many talented musicians who have toiled many a year to get to that stage, literally :). Thanks e s much for the info. Most sincerely JF ( UK )
I agree re the synchronised remark. Yet put the musicians in separate rooms and this interaction would not be possible. They literally have to be close and at hand for all of them to gel.This may seem a little far fetched but its a fact that has been proven. I will try my best to find the video for you to watch as its very interesting !!!!
Bolero was introduced to me at 7...i would lay in front of the high fie and close my eyes and feel and dream about a long camel caravan going across the dessert with the king and rich queens and soilders...i am 62 now and still close my eyes and see the same and feel every single instrument it is one of the most beautiful sexy pieces of music....will always love it....to the nerve endings love it......
I was looking for this song for ages, but I did not remember the tune, all I remembered was that it was a song that my late Mum loved, I listened to various songs, but could not come up with it ... then it suddenly came into my head, but I had no title, so I wisled it into Google search, and I got the result. This song is an incredibly, beautiful masterpiece ❤
Empezas a ver y a escuchar a un par de palillos en una leve percusión y terminas viendo una orquesta de pie y al público caerse encima con aplauso. Es impresionante las emociones y sentimientos que te despierta esta obra musical. Muy a menudo vuelvo a este canal para escucharlo de nuevo.. Es la excelencia de lo impecable. Gracias Valery Gergiev.!!!
Una tarde fría hoy....comenzando a llover,,,,y de repente recordé esta pieza musical.....hace tres años más o menos que no la escuchaba.....de repente cuando se quiebra tu mundo en esas pequeñas muertes del día a día y..... hoy quise escucharla porque para mí esta melodía significa un comienzo,,algo que nace,,que brota desde dentro, algo que empieza a generarse...el deber de un cambio interno......la música qué terapia.❤
Of all the best presentations of Bolero I’ve heard in my decades of living, this is the very best ever. These musicians and each of their masterful command of their instrument is glorious. The nuances that Gergiev has brought to each passage is remarkable!
This piece has to be nothing but amazing that you have to listen to this over and over again, Gergiev conducts with compassion and soul in this performance that I would love to see this in person. I SO LOVE how he uses a toothpick for this :) hehehehehehe its just cute! I have watched this like 5-6 times already and I think its time for more :)
ecstatic! i love how at the end the musicians realise that they pulled off something extraordinary under the direction of this brilliant conductor and they know that their performance will be remembered and enjoyed many years into the future
excelente! excelente! magnífico, un mes después de verlo no tengo palabras para expresar lo que siento cuando veo este video. Algo que me llega al alma y el corazón! muy sorprendente y algo de lo más hermoso que han visto mis ojos y escuchado mis oídos. Lo más hermoso, el gran trabajo de los camarógrafos al captar tan sorprendentes imágenes, muchas gracias por regalarme esto. Un gran trabajo de su parte queridos amigos detrás del escenario.
Tienes razón! Aparte de la capacidad musical que tienen, los camarografos también hicieron arte al captar los momentos más emotivos y expresivos de los músicos! Esta excelente todo ❤
Fantastic music! A great version for all to hear! I want to hang out with this conductor!!! Looks like he just spent 3 days in a Amsterdam cafe! Then conducts the London Symphony Orchestra with a toothpick!!! AWESOME!!!
I'm going to listen to & comment on every version of Bolero I can find. I can't seem to get enough of it. This is my third listening. This particular one is quite stirring, and I had only to hear a few minutes before I was completely in awe of M. Gergiev's utter mastery of his craft. A toothpick for a baton? A Titan fells a mighty forest with a mere eyelash!
Imagine being apart of that orchestra!, i literally lost myself in the piece, that theme Being passed around the various instruments...so much emotional color.
+Peter Klatzow I recall reading about him saying that wasn't too fond of it. "I have written a masterpiece, yet there is no music in it". Probably something to do with the lack of counterpoints, and somewhat flatness of the piece, that boils down to a glorified (and oh so pleasant too) crescendo.
Ravel was often critical about how his most famous piece was interpreted, but I think if he were alive today, he'd approve of this performance. Without a doubt, the best rendition I have heard of this magnificent piece of music. At least 4050 drum beats!
Ravelin Bolerosu bu kadar güzel icra edilir nefesimi tutarak izliyorum şefimiz Valery Gergiev e ve orkestrasına çok teşekkür ediyorum iyiki varsınız orkestradaki bütün icracıların hepsini tek tek kutluyorum başarılarınızın devamını diliyorum harikasınız
Possibly my favorite classical piece of music. Genius and masterfully performed. It is always a joy to listen to it and the video was superb bringing you visually right along with the music as it develops. Loved it!!!
This is such a wonderful performance! Gergiev seems to put himself in a trance before lifting his eyes and baton! This sets the tone for the work, and I am myself mesmerised throughout! Thank you for enriching my day!
both the performance and the conducting, omg they are just amazing. I like this 'perfect' tempo and steadiness till the end. it is a little bit funny that the conductor uses a toothpick but nonetheless I think this version of bolero to be the best. BRAVO :^)
Lo que me encanta de esta pieza es la sutileza con la que comienza, el incremento de instrumentos y volumen; la constancia y paciencia perfecta hace que se quede satisfecho con el final. Realmente es grandiosa. Y que tiene que dirija con un ¿monda diente?. Je, je, je, es parte de su "estilo".
I've always been asking what on Earth a conductor does in orchestra?! After listening to Bolero many times before conducted by Dudamel, Jansons, Mehta and so on I understood that this performance by Gergiev is the one that even Ravel would like himself... I can sleep relaxed now, as I understood the secret behind conductor's role!
Gran interpretación. Impecables todos los solos y muy bien conseguidos todas las combinaciones de timbres. El trabajo de edición de los planos por el realizador es también fantástico.
Seems like Valery GERGIEV is one of the best conductors actually. This is one of the best Bolero version I've never heard. Claudio ABBADO recorded a top one with the LSO in the 80s on DG.
Bravo, Magnificent Splendid performance. Such a great Conductor. I now wish I’d stayed in Orchestra in middle school, the flow of the instruments as they intertwined was spectacular
Thank You for making my Saturday morning great!!....love this so much, brings my mind peace, imagination, creativity and an overwhelming feeling of Bliss........wonderful, Excellent!! BRAVO>>>>>>
I choose to believe that this is an absolutely enormous conductor with a normal sized baton.
I can't have enough upvotes for this image you created in my mind...
I’d like to know the story behind this lol….never seen a conductor with a toothpick
best comment of all times
😂😂😂
I heard that this is FU to the comment from the criticism that he had small stick in the past🎉 He is the punk of classical music 🎉he is the bad ass!
They say there is no such thing as perfection. Nonsense. THIS is perfection. Masterpiece
Sat with my 2 1/2 year old daughter on my lap and she was able to watch all 19 minutes, which is unusual. A great video to show how all the parts of the orchestra work together. An inspiration to young musicians.
same here with my daughter :D
The most amazing bit, for me, are the violins, violas, cellos, and contrabass.
From reluctant pizzicato to pure aggressiveness.
Welllll, I'm 92 now, and still LOVING this...my favorite !!!!!!!!! I wish I could hug Valery !!!
I first heard Ravel's Bolero on a recording my father had over 65 years ago. It became my anthem. This performance of it is spectacular. The tune never gets old. :)

What a long, strange trip it's been
Keep on truckin' 😎✌️
This is how to get a room full of folks to agree on something
The conductor is epic. He's like: "Fuck it I'm using a toothpick tonight"
Ha! Made you look! I think he had to take something^^ And the toothepick was the tiniest^^
Lol.
+TATORS HOMESTEAD
You got a thumbs up, now tell me, is that true ?
lol
I was hoping it was true :)
I`m not a big lover of classical music but must admit the time flew by watching this masterful performance. It`s so inspiring to watch so many talented musicians who have toiled many a year to get to that stage, literally :).
Thanks e s much for the info.

bolero is my favorite classical song of all time, but this is my favorite rendition of all time, it needs more likes

I studied this piece in college in the 70's. It's so intricate! ❤

Leonel, dices todas las palabras que estaba pensando. gracias un millon de veces por tus amables palabras😊
@@sagradasinfamilia Es increíble no? Una de las mejores interpretaciones de Bolero!!!!👏👏👏
Wow he did that whole thing with what looked like a toothpick. What a conducter

I'd love to play the drums with such discipline!
Bravo. Pure Brilliant Bravo. Every instrument and drum beat of pure perfection. 2023 echo's your amazing performance forever. Bravo!
Esta é uma das melhores execussões do "Bolero" de Maurice Ravel que já ouvi. Tudo perfeito e sincronizado. E o maestro então, nota mil. Bravo!!!
This is GOLD..Absolute perfection on every note.. Bravo!
Wonderful orchestra and Music!
Impeccable. Gergiev absolutely nails it. The ultimate performance of this iconic piece.
The only performance that rivals this is LSO under Andre Previn. No other orchestra gets it right, it seems to meeeeee!🎉
Of all the best presentations of Bolero I’ve heard in my decades of living, this is the very best ever. These musicians and each of their masterful command of their instrument is glorious. The nuances that Gergiev has brought to each passage is remarkable!

I'm astonished! What a wonderful orchestra!!!
Reparem o olhar do maestro, sua concentração e a maravilha que se torna todos os instrumentos nessa grande obra de Ravel. Bravo !!!!!!
ecstatic! i love how at the end the musicians realise that they pulled off something extraordinary under the direction of this brilliant conductor and they know that their performance will be remembered and enjoyed many years into the future

it's like when the sun is rising slowly, slowly... and he appears !
beautiful analogy
Love the trombonist cutting lose at 10:43 it almost sounds like he's auditioning for a blues band.
Transcendant,ses Femmes et ses Hommes ne font qu'un avec Mr Gergiev. Fabuleux. Merci
Beautiful, actually brought tears to my eyes. Loved every moment of it.
Me too!
Me too! I was SPELLBOUND! Played us with COOL precision!
I’ve watched this, LOUDLY, at least six times in the last 72 hours! Gergiev is a painter!
This is some intensity with the most delicate, gradual growth. Every instrument is honored and given its due.
What an orchestra... what a director.. what a performance... BRAVO!
Great performance of this piece. The orchestra had excellent dynamics throughout the entire piece from ppp to ffff...=) Very musical too. Awesome job!
15:42 Maximum perfection ever !!!!!!! HAPPYNESS AND POWER LEVEL ----> 100.000.000 !!!!
10/10
kinda like transforming to Ultrasaiyajin, yep
the expression on this guy,s face is so intense , just like the music ! it touches every verve in my body

Just fantastic. Finished my Christmas day celebrations with this; think I'll make that a yearly tradition! Loved the performance, loved the video!
Absolutely entrancing! I turned this on to listen while I ate my lunch - and forgot to eat my lunch.
Absolutamente sublime. Sin palabras. Maravilloso.
Could not have said it better myself!
Snare Drum. That is all. The coolest. Same beat, over and over and over again for 17 glorious minutes!
So disciplined. Bravo to the snare drummer
Did we ever see his face??
Che spettacolo che emozione dopo anni me lo vado sempre a rivedere e ogni volta e come se fosse la prima❤❤❤👏👏👏
My brother introduced me to Bolero 60 years ago, love the music. There is so much life and story in it. 😎🇺🇸
Great Masterpiece. Thank you Mr Gregiev. The immortal Bolero.
Imagine being apart of that orchestra!, i literally lost myself in the piece, that theme Being passed around the various instruments...so much emotional color.
Гениальное исполнение гениального композитора!!!! спасибо!!!!
I wonder if Ravel himself realised how much genius lay behind this piece. It never fails to amaze and entrance me. (and I am a composer)
+Peter Klatzow I recall reading about him saying that wasn't too fond of it. "I have written a masterpiece, yet there is no music in it". Probably something to do with the lack of counterpoints, and somewhat flatness of the piece, that boils down to a glorified (and oh so pleasant too) crescendo.
Due tamburi all'inizio darebbero meglio il ritmo caratteristico di questo pezzo.
No le gustaba a Ravel porque no era una obra musical, era un boceto para el mismo para aprenderse el tempo del bolero
I love watching Valery (pronounced Val-e-air-y) Gergiev conduct in this video. Talk about getting into your work! Dude is consumed.
This is getting me chill and relaxed in a middle of an serious struggle. Thanks Ravel.
Greatest music EVER made!!! makes us feel capable of everything
BRAVO!!! BRAVOOOO! I don't care if the conductor holds a toothpick or a piece of feather or nothing at all. This gives me goosebumps.
Ravel was often critical about how his most famous piece was interpreted, but I think if he were alive today, he'd approve of this performance. Without a doubt, the best rendition I have heard of this magnificent piece of music. At least 4050 drum beats!
sublime, un disfrute para una bonita mañana de domingo
How they've built it to this crescendo is stupendous !!!
Flawless finale that to me is the real mark of genious !
Bravissimo everybody !❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazingly Hypnotic! Bravo!
Ravelin Bolerosu bu kadar güzel icra edilir nefesimi tutarak izliyorum şefimiz Valery Gergiev e ve orkestrasına çok teşekkür ediyorum iyiki varsınız orkestradaki bütün icracıların hepsini tek tek kutluyorum başarılarınızın devamını diliyorum harikasınız
Magic. Watching videos like these always make me wish I was an orchestral musician (as well as a guitarist)
You are not the only one...
Or at least a guitarist ...
Jeff Jeffery You are not alone, not at all.
A melhor apresentação do Bolero de Ravel que eu já vi. Emocionante!!!
Lindo demais. Vou compartilhar.
best performance ever of this greatest classic ever and i quote.
Possibly my favorite classical piece of music. Genius and masterfully performed. It is always a joy to listen to it and the video was superb bringing you visually right along with the music as it develops. Loved it!!!
One of my all-time favorite pieces of classical music. So well done! Bravo Maestro!
This is one of the very first pieces I taught myself on the flute when I was twelve. Love this version!
¡AY!, ¡LOS FELICITO MUCHO!, ¡QUÉ HERMOSO!, ES UN TRABAJO ARDUO.
Ein geniales Musikstück - und ein noch genialerer Dirigent
It just doesn't get any better than this!
Huge crescendo....*Gergiev calmly finger-brushes hair back into place*.
Epic.
Jesus..what a great performance !! Bravo Bravo!
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT !!!!Wonderful. The London Symphony Orchestra truly is the best orchestra in the world.
This is such a wonderful performance! Gergiev seems to put himself in a trance before lifting his eyes and baton! This sets the tone for the work, and I am myself mesmerised throughout! Thank you for enriching my day!
Hoy seguro dormiré en el cielo. Extraordinario! Maestro Valery Gergiev!
Magnifico! Bravissimo!
both the performance and the conducting, omg they are just amazing. I like this 'perfect' tempo and steadiness till the end. it is a little bit funny that the conductor uses a toothpick but nonetheless I think this version of bolero to be the best. BRAVO :^)
Great " thank you ! London Symphony Orchestra for publishing it ! Great

Bravo as usual, Maestro Gergieve

Meine Mutter verstarb kurz vor Weihnachten.
Sie liebte dieses Stück sehr.
Wir liessen es bei ihrer Beerdigung spielen.
Gran interpretación. Impecables todos los solos y muy bien conseguidos todas las combinaciones de timbres. El trabajo de edición de los planos por el realizador es también fantástico.
This made me think of the never-ending cycle of nature when I first listened to it.🌿
Muchas gracias, ...impresionante,...formidable, ...magistral, La belleza en pleno.
this may not have been Ravel's favourite piece of music, but I wonder if he had heard this version, he would have changed his mind
Absolutely magnificent even after 20th time. Didn´t know Jack Nicholson was this talented
А где Джек Николсон?
Это Валерий Гергиев дирижёр
Pocas veces he visto esta cara de satisfacción en los músicos al concluir una pieza. TOP!
This piece is really captivating, bewitching !!
Humans in harmony is a beautiful thing
no one has ever weld a toothpick,to such excellence
Sublime. Te reconcilia con el género humano. Qué belleza somos capaces de crear cuando funcionamos juntos, como una orquesta.
Seems like Valery GERGIEV is one of the best conductors actually. This is one of the best Bolero version I've never heard. Claudio ABBADO recorded a top one with the LSO in the 80s on DG.
Great conductor... just conducts and looks a bit like he emptied his flask of vodka prior to the performance to calm the nerves!! lol
Listen to Maestro Gergiev’s Bolero at least 3 or times a day🎵❣️Beautiful as ever
Além da regência estupenda, da execução apaixonante dos músicos. Há que se exaltar a direção de imagens que tornam esse vídeo mágico!
Bravo, Magnificent Splendid performance. Such a great Conductor. I now wish I’d stayed in Orchestra in middle school, the flow of the instruments as they intertwined was spectacular
Bolero: conducted by Anger Management.
O Brasil também se encontra totalmente de pé e aplaudindo este espetáculo! .'.
+Fernando Marzinotto concordo plenamente, amigo!!!!!
Verdade,isso é sublime.
esplendido
Bravo!
Immer wieder schön anzuhören!
Wanna stop a war.? Insist both sides sit together and listen to how awesome humans can be when creating instead of destroying .....
I love you man
Tell it to the russians
this music is divine ... i love it ... the conductor is passionate ! thank you
Holy shit.. I cried in the end.
bolero still always gives me goosebumps....such an awesome piece
Thank You for making my Saturday morning great!!....love this so much, brings my mind peace, imagination, creativity and an overwhelming feeling of Bliss........wonderful, Excellent!! BRAVO>>>>>>
