One of my all-time favorites. I get a feeling that is hard to explain from Tchaikovsky's Arabian Dance. It's like a sense of wonder, dread, anxiety, hope, damn...like everything.
The greatest single piece of music ever composed under 5 minutes. This epitimizes why Tchaikovsky is the greatest of them all. His versatility is incomparable.
Beautiful. It always reminds me of the magical time after midnight on Christmas Eve, when all is completely quiet; the fire in the hearth is dying out; the presents have all been been set out under the tree and and you've taken to the best chair by the fireplace, sipping a hot drink, entranced by the the embers, thinking about Christmases long ago and loved ones long passed but now very much alive and with you, enveloped in this timeless reverie by Tchaikovsky.
This song sounds like retribution, the calm before the storm. The strive, the struggle, the preparation, the anticipation. It's eerie, ominous, but beautiful and magnificent. It's delicate, in a hard way, if that makes sense. Sounds like fighting for what we believe in and what we love.
Christ this music is absolutely phenomenal .... How far humans have come ... To design and create musical instruments and then write and perform pieces like this is just something else x
when i was young, like 2/3 my mother used to show me 'Fantasia'. This song i always remembererd and after 20 years i have found it again.. For a moment my life stops as i dwell in good memories
By far the best version of this piece on TH-cam! So seductive, so exotic, absolutely flawless...It conjures up images of domes and minarets silhouetted against a blue desert night.
This is absolutely divine. Its clear... perfect. This is my favourite piece. Can't wait for the winter holiday season to began so I can go and see Nutcracker.
The first time I heard this I was at my girlfriends dance performance of the nutcracker kinda thinking ummm this is gonna be hard to get through, then I heard this and got goosebumps and started crying (secretly), it opened a doorway
Simply breathtaking and magnificent, every emotion bundled up together...must be what being in heaven feels like, 24/7. Overwhelming joy, with hints of a past life that's now gone, and this is my reward.
i am a young dancer and this is my favorite dance. my favorite company member does it and she moves beautifully with the music. my day sucks right now and this just made it a zillion times better :)
For me watching a girl playing an instrument so beautifully takes me into another dimension ... The dark haired violinist, the way her body moves with this sound is so utterly seductive ... I could watch, listen and feel this piece of music every hour of the day ... It has such a mysterious, dark enchantment to it that it hypnotizes me each time i hear it ... My body goes into shutdown ... I anticipate the sounds but nothing prepares me for moment at 44 seconds when the strings are triggered by the bows .... Incredible incredible music that will last generations x
This piece of music was in the beginning of Salvador Dali documentary: In search of immortality. It drew me straiggt into the documentary with beautiful scenery of the sea and beach. Such beautiful music!
My favorite canto .....ahhh juventus stultorum magister, I used to listen to other forms of music until I found Classical Music ❤️ around 10. Thanks, Tchaikovsky.
esta magnifica canción penetra cada una de mis célula una sensación indescriptible que mi ser pide oír una y otra vez, simplemente espectacular grande TCHAIKOVSKY
@pinkvela i absolutely love this piece. i love this version only, when i hear it in other tempos or with other instrumentation, i just dont like it enough. it was love at first...hearing for me: i watched a dance solo to this (on a different theme though) and it just won me forever. it's magical i have watched the video you're suggesting. believe it or not, i dont like the choreography. it's too much of showig-off-my-great-legs and it doesnt suit my aesthetics. im rather appalled thanx a lot!
Nothing to do with Arabia, Tchaikovsky heard this theme inTbilisi and later use it in The Nutcracker. This is Georgian folk lullaby. Maestro was great, but he should name this melody as it was really. Georgian folk tunes are amazing!!!
@ElizaMogha I like things that are hypnotic. Now may I lead you to watch the Bejart ballet version of this: just type in Arabian Dance Bejart. The girl has the best "developpes" ever!
One of my all-time favorites.

Absolutely agree-beautiful!

The sound quality of this recording is sublime.

I love this melody in the bass clarinet
It's the best part of Nutcracker. It's incredibly magic...
Wow. This takes me to far away and exotic places...
By far the best version of this piece on TH-cam! So seductive, so exotic, absolutely flawless...It conjures up images of domes and minarets silhouetted against a blue desert night.
Tempo is delicious. I think this is the only piece of music that features a tambourine that sounds sad.
You are absolutely right.
The only video I can listen with full volume...
It was difficult to me to listen this kind of music. Now I know that is food and nectar for our soul...
One of Tchaikovsky’s best.😁
This is such a hauntingly romantic sound. Thanks for putting it up.
This is absolutely divine. Its clear... perfect. This is my favourite piece. Can't wait for the winter holiday season to began so I can go and see Nutcracker.
I don't see why anyone would dislike this.
I've loved this since the 1st time I heard it in grade school. That solo @2:51 is one of my favorites. 🎶🔥
C'est magique...
Melody - Georgian Lullaby. very very Nice and Beauty.
I never want this to end...
Two words:
INCREDIBLE BEAUTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION it is Jan 23rd 2011 and I only just discovered Tchaikovsky
nothing says xmas like this haunting song =)
The first time I heard this I was at my girlfriends dance performance of the nutcracker kinda thinking ummm this is gonna be hard to get through, then I heard this and got goosebumps and started crying (secretly), it opened a doorway
Such a peaceful and meditative piece. Great music to listen to while reading a good book...
Simply breathtaking and magnificent, every emotion bundled up together...must be what being in heaven feels like, 24/7. Overwhelming joy, with hints of a past life that's now gone, and this is my reward.
One of my all time favorites... "Magical" is the perfect adjective for this.
i am a young dancer and this is my favorite dance. my favorite company member does it and she moves beautifully with the music. my day sucks right now and this just made it a zillion times better :)
This is a piece of art with both so much elegance and sensality in it... mesmerizing.
I LOVE THE WAY HOW VIOLINISTS SWAY THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. SOMETHING VERY MAGICAL ABOUT IT.
I wonder if they can't help it...

I love how... mysterious, not really the word I'm looking for, this sounds... Like, it's so simple but "says" So much idk I love it.
I can only describe this as a beautiful haunting pleasure!
Seductively smooth
This piece of music was in the beginning of Salvador Dali documentary: In search of immortality. It drew me straiggt into the documentary with beautiful scenery of the sea and beach. Such beautiful music!

Tchaikovsky Arabian dance is based on the melody of Georgian lullaby.
My favorite canto .....ahhh juventus stultorum magister, I used to listen to other forms of music until I found Classical Music ❤️ around 10. Thanks, Tchaikovsky.
Dla takich chwil warto być na tym świecie ...

Russian music ... Russian literature .. Russian art in general ... is the most human of all arts
and the best musical orientalism was Russian...
Agree with all....fantastic vid and audio quality!
Meu sonho é ocupar uma dessas cadeiras da platéia!
esta magnifica canción penetra cada una de mis célula una sensación indescriptible que mi ser pide oír una y otra vez, simplemente espectacular grande TCHAIKOVSKY
Ennio Morricone's "Al Capone" theme from The Untouchables seems to sample from this song. See 2:53 and 3:12.
C’est magnific!
Perfection at its Best! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
I have a long standing dream to see the Nutcracker at Christmas just to hear this live :)
Magical , Beautiful, Wonderfull,
Mesmerizing, my mind travels

Magic magnifique parfait 😍😍😍
Makes my blood tingle...
Very nice!
Wunderbar
magnifique
Makes u think.
About life..
beautiful..
@pinkvela i absolutely love this piece. i love this version only, when i hear it in other tempos or with other instrumentation, i just dont like it enough.
it was love at first...hearing for me: i watched a dance solo to this (on a different theme though) and it just won me forever. it's magical
i have watched the video you're suggesting. believe it or not, i dont like the choreography. it's too much of showig-off-my-great-legs and it doesnt suit my aesthetics. im rather appalled
thanx a lot!
Thanks a lot for sharing
envoûtant
wow, this IS great! Thanks for uploading! :3
love it
I think this is the best performance of this song I ever heard. Now all other sound so lame...
Wonderfull :)
@pinkvela I agree. Forever.
❤️❤️

cool
@ElizaMogha I like things that are hypnotic.
Now may I lead you to watch the Bejart ballet version of this: just type in Arabian Dance Bejart. The girl has the best "developpes" ever!
