@robert runkqvist: Well, no. Because, as far as I am aware, the dances were originally written for four-handed piano. So there's exactly the right amount of people sitting there. Though I have to admit I like the orchestrated versions as well, have been listening to those literally all day. Perhaps not surprising, because if there's one instrument I associate with Hungary it's the Violin... I love how they start off separate and then melt together.
I hope people that disagree with me won't kill me, but in spite of them being very good pianists, I didn't hear any dance nor Hungarian flavor in this interpretation. Very classical/romantic approach, very clean, but it needs some mud in it....
I love the third one.....full of energetic spirit and liveliness. But, really, all three are exquisite masterpieces of music in my opinion, and have been performed really well by this duo.
this is so great. but to much people sitting next to the piano. Only one person is needed for this piece. no more, this is a challenge for every pianist
Hi robin, Johannes Brahms made two separate versions of the "Hungarian Dances", one for four hands (two pianists) and the other for two hands (one pianist). Both versions are different in a few details, but they are both original and authentic. Thus, the wonderful performance shown here is correct in historical and pinanistic respect.

My favourite is No. 1, but these three really work very well together.
Lovely. A friend and I did terrible things to No.s 2 and 5 many years ago while in university. Thanks for bringing back fond memories.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We appreciate your support.
And thank Brahms for writing such beautiful music!
Best wishes from our duo.

I've heard terrible things done to no. 1. You have the courage to play it with soul instead of showing off with speed. Thanks!
these are excellent
3.25 is the second one and 6.30 the last one
I love the third one.....full of energetic spirit and liveliness. But, really, all three are exquisite masterpieces of music in my opinion, and have been performed really well by this duo.

すばらしい。
A perfect, finished and musical performance. But where is the passion? Where are the fortes? Where is the gypsy fire? The crash in the sudden fortes?
Yes, excellent performance. BUT I also need the 'Hungarian Fiddle' in order to evoke passion, romance, and association with gypsy campfires!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇿
