JUST SO you know, bartok didn't arrange these, he composed them. in fact , everything he ever wrote is original music, only inspired by tradition folk music and whatever else. *thumnbs up*
Nope. He was a very innovative composer but THIS PARTICULAR SET of Romanian dances was arranged from existing melodies. There is a field recording made by Bartok of these dances being played and you can actually hear where he made edits in his arrangements
I first saw this video when I was in Year Three, not too long after it had been uploaded to UA-cam (Probably only a year or two!) and I keep coming back to it. It's just amazing to hear the constant changes of mood, from dramatic to eerie to hopeful as it goes on, and as it's a medley of sorts, you keep assuming something will be repeated, but it never is. Bela Bartók was a genius, and he doesn't get enough recognition that he deserves.
I've heard cleaner versions, better tuned versions--but I have to believe THIS is what Bartok had in mind when he wrote these movements. The freshness, that skein of wildness woven throughout--this is the spirit he wanted to portray. Rajko Orchestra did these just as they were meant to be heard.
Yes. I've been listening to different recordings of this piece all afternoon. This is the last one I listened to and I have come to the same conclusion as you on the sound.
Roma zenészek egy zsinagógában.. Mi sem bizonyítja jobban, hogy a komolyzene multikulturális. Mellesleg a kedvenc youtube-os "verzióm"! Köszönöm Rajkók!:) Gypsy musicians in a synagoge.. Proofs, that classical music is multicultural. By the way, its my favourite interpretation on youtube.. Thank you Rajkos !:)
Bela Bartok, composer and ethno-musicolog : father-slovak , mother-german , hungarian- citizen , born in Sannicolaul Mare (Great Saint-Nicholas)-today, west Romania !!
The most incredible about music is that it it does not care about "race", convictions nor nationality. So should we. What does this change if the lead violinist was Jew, Romanian or Polish or American? Just enjoy it!
No music & no conductor, yet what a brilliant, soulful & authentic performance of this beautiful composition. Thank you for posting this piece. And thank you, the Rajko Orchestra. Unforgettable!
Many had better to listen to this beautiull music instead of writing rassist comments. If they can play better then this orcestra, here is the possibility on youtube to present.
I have come back to this video several times because I find it has a very beautiful sound, not slick like a major Western orchestra. It sounds very real to me. I love it. A few pitch problems are of no signifcance to me.
i need to say that hungeryan and romanian folk songs are my my definetly lovelyst (i like irish and other celtic folk too but its SO different). i think the usic of a folk is the best way to imagine how they live ;) )
Yesterday we were on the March of Living concert inthis sinagogue of Dohany Street in Budapest. Katica Illényi played this, and i must say, it was so strong and beautifull, i listened the whole song with open mouth. Katica was playing a long time in the Budapest Klezmer Band. Check their vids here, they are absolute professionals. Thank you for this video!!! It makes me feel good right now.
These musicians are Hungarian Sinti or Rroma, not Romanians. Better known as gypsies, although nowadays this term is considered deprecatory,like the "n....o" word for Afroamericans..
My life time gold is to continue and finish the study of romanian peoples folk music. For the romanians peasants the music is a general and natural pursuit. My universal guideline is the idea of the brotherhood of people despite all of the wars and misunderstandings" words by Bella Bartok
lol he's not making mistakes. i'm playing this piece on the violin right now. as weird as it sounds to you, that is totally unmistakably the correct notes XD unfortunately i can't read your original comment, but you're right? to each his own. no one has to like every song that ever existed. and i like dodiezresibemol's comment.. it's pretty. hehe
Had been composed approximately in the same years of the 20 th. century, both the Romanian Rhapsodies No.1 and 2 by Gheorghe Enescu and the Romanian Folk Dances by Béla Bartók bring the sound of Romanian music of different regions that make up the current Romania. In other words, a listener can hear the sounds that had been inspired from Wallachian and Moldavian melodies from the Rhapsodies by Enescu and can hear the sounds that had been inspired from Transylvanian melodies from this composition by Bartók. Thus it is possible to say that both composers who had been lived approximately in the same periods but from different countries had presented the aforementioned valuable works that contribute to the music of a country by which listeners achieve the "Big Picture" upon listening all of them. On the other hand, the interpretation of the Rajko Orchestra is notable since it gives the sound of "Taraf" formation who plays these melodies in the region, where Béla Bartók had encountered these melodies.
Liszt was an Austro-Hungarian and spoke German, he didnt't learn Hungarian until he was an adult, and he barely used it. Nevertheless he felt as a German Hungarian, too, so he's the perfect example of the Austro-Hungarian citizen.
hi guys, i'm Australian. anglo-saxon. what is needed to stir ppl's hearts in music: #1. great composition and research into it. #2. virtuoso performance by ppl who actually care about what they perform. Bartok Bela and Gyula Feher are at the very top of that list. prayers to them and all who listen to this most beautifully executed work. j.
Not the most accurate version, but still one of my favourites. The best for me is (dont laugh) the initial scale accompainment (B,C,D,C#/E first the soloist, then i think some wind, not sure) that makes the difference from other versions. I miss though, in the fourth movement, counterpart High A strings (i hope if you read this you understand, sorry for my english)
Superb Gypsy musicians wearing Hungarian costumes and Jewish skull-caps (yarmulka) playing great music (collected by Bartok in Romania) in the Great Synagogue, Budapest. How good is that? Kituno, Nagyszeru, Klass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nopp. The are gypsy musicians, not jews. In a synagogue everyone have to wear some hat. Simply the kipa is the most comfortable and usual wearing in a temple. Anyway i think this movie was made on the jewish festival. So its an honor for us to hear them play and they wear kipas.
@podiumocska he was born on Romanain land, but Hungarian rule, don`t missjudge people reading this.. This are nice song, too bad they don`t sound very Romanian.
Bardzo podoba mi się Bartok w tym wykonaniu.Wyrażnie słychać typowo węgierskie motywy chć muzyka węgierska i rumuńska miała w tamtych czasach wiele wspólnych motywów
bu akşam eve erken gelelim / sen bana tavşan kanı çay demle / ben de sana Bela Bartok’un / Macar halk ezgilerinden / Romanların gece âşklarından / keman konçertosunu çalayım.. /Asilhan Bilâl
Tonny Dong Actually they are Hungarians and Hungarian Gypsies. The Romanian Dances are composed by a the Hungarian Béla Bartók, and they are based on Romanian folk songs, that were collected in Southern Transilvania. :-)
Bartók composed the accompaniments to the folk melodies he had heard, recorded and written down, and to the children's songs “For Children”, based on hungarian and slovakian songs as well. he witnesses about this it was a lot more work for himself to find the right taste of arrangements fitting to the notated folk tunes, than composing and working out his own original pieces ..
If you respect the singularities of each orchestra, you'll perhaps understand how unique is each performance. Otherwise, only the original composer can play his or her song properly.
With respect, my friend, this orchestra are almost all of Roma descent. They were trained at the Budapest Academy in Hungary. They are wearing yarmulkes because they are playing in a synagogue, not because they are Jewish.
@musicproducers Hello ! I am a Romanian tambal cimbalom player and know this piece very well. This performance is very correct and well done... it is not meant to be gypsy allaballa but a classical arrangement of Romanian peasant (not gypsy) music. I'm sure that this excellent collective is up to playing traditional repertoir appropriately. With respect, Alexandru
You should be more open minded, this is not Baroque music. The 'out of tune' you hear is actually a delicate sense of Eastern, modal, pure and natural music, transposing your mind to the subtile life and culture of the Romanian early - folk dances. I imagine so :)
u dont understand the essence of internet: my opinion as free as urs. I dont like such authoritarian comments like some of here. i prefer other interprets of this play.
I did not read all of those shity f...ing raciste conversation, and i am not curious about it, there are too much fachiste-raciste everywhere in Europe since some years now... i just want to say that i am Hungarian, i love Roumanians, Juses, Gypsies and this music too !!! :)
Imi pare rau ca si la o piesa ca aceasta veniti cu diferite comentarii! Eu sunt de parerea ca Bartok Bela,cu toate ca a fost maghiar sau ungur-cum ii spuneti voi!-nu s-a gandit cu repulsie la romani! De ce trebuie sa faceti asemenea comentarii la o piesa asa frumoasa si plina de virtute?!De ce nu se poate s-o ascultati asa pur si simplu?! Scuze,dar aceasta atitudine denota inferioritate,indiferent de natiune sau etnie!
Mesmerizing, beautiful, captivating...thanks to Bartok Bela firstly, and then this particularly amazing ensemble that continues to show us what great musicians can always do under severe circumstances. Saludos desde Denver, CO, EU!
hirogerthisisme, I sorry you take my post so bad, but I swear I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST JEWS OR GIPSY, so sorry if I sounded racist:I promise I'll think better when I'll post a comment in the future. But please, avoid to cry away when somebody makes a comment that sound like racist but the person who make this comment is not, because this may sound like ANOTHER RACISM FORM,and even worse it doesn't help people to know things and also DEFEAT ALL RACISM TIPES!!! Think about it,please.
I do not get it. So they might be gipsies playing in a jewish settlement. I suppose they did not desacrated the place, as they did not desacrated any of the places in the world they live. They are a very good orchestra, playing Bartok in the way he should be played, obviously they belong to this unfortunate part of Europe. I've heard Bartok being played like a musical box, this is fantastic Bartok orchestration. Cheers to MsArany. Bravo!
that's a fact that Bartok lived in hungary. he told that he is hugnarian. but he loved romanian folk music too. He was born in 1881. This time the place where he was born was HUNGARY ,so he was born in hugnary. Got it? Is you were born in Yugoslavia, than it will be never changed, even if that country doesn't exist any more. clever-egg.
marker853, this was really a shitty comment! And I am a Romanian who is telling you this! Music should be listened with the ears and with the heart and definitely not with stupid nationalistic preconceptions in the mouth. This is beautiful music! 5 stars from me!
Sure, Bela Bartok, a very good friend of romanians, was a hungarian, as I said, from slovak father and german mother and borned in Sannicolaul Mare, today in Romania. He didn,t choose it. It was matter of destiny. It was just a funny curiosity. I don,t see what,s your comment point.
That is something we call patriotism. And what is worst in nationalism and hatred is if somebody is so illiterate like RomanianEagle24. Too bad. Stupidness is over all nations. Anyway, this is one of my favourite music, and in Rajko's performance is simply amazing.
And then again... what does it matter? Both jews and gypsies were exterminated by those who thought that race mattered. Stop worrying yourself with irrelevant questions, get lost in this beautiful music and be happy that you do not have to survive.
Could please someone tell me if they are jews or gypsies?... cuz in other videos they are scheduled as gypsy orchestra. Could they be both jews and gypsies or that's not possible? They guy who plays as soloist seems jew but I wouldn't like to be wrong.
@podiumocska belong once when u ( a nomad people) concured a part of romania for a period of time ...so to get that straight it was called sinnicolau mare before u guys came there. i don`t hate ,but i don`t like when people are lying
I'm not responsing to this comment as I have no idea what it says. I just want to say to all those who see these sites as a vent for their racist or anti racist comments to: JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!!
It shouldn't be so harmonious. It's a fucking Middle European dance! It's supposed to have some zest to it. Downright brutality. Not just in the end, but all round. :/
There is something around 1:02 which hurts my ears. I have no idea where my original comment is. May be there is not real freedom in opinioning even here as well, haha.
U may be right. But I think all of us has his/her own explanation. Different point of views, thats all. He can play well on the violin and anybody can make mistakes.
It doesn't matter at all, of course. I just wanted to satisfy my couriosity, cause I knew that mostly rajko orchestra are scheduled as gipsy orchestra but seeing them inside of a sinagogue I thought that someone of them could be jew. I'm just courious and I write it in caps, I DON'T WANT TO ABUSE NONE, I'M NOT RACIST ! That's for you, davazno1 and for all the youtube users.
"seems a jew" what does it mean? By which physical standards does one define a the "race" of a human being? Is it the dark hair? The arched nose? Paul Newman and Whoopy Goldberg, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lenny Kravitz, they are all so different, right? Guess what... they are all jewish. Sorry staccato, you may not mean to be a racist, but you certainly sound like one. Think again, please.
This is not racism, and the question is not stupid at all. They are gipsies, they define themselves as an orchestra of gipsies. Also, "Rajkó" means child in the roma (rom) language. They are wearing kipa only because they are playing in a Synagogue. (Dohány utca, Budapest)
Romanian songs arranged by a Hungarian composer being played by Gypsies in a Synagouge.

the soloist's name Gyula Fehér (Julius White).He is not a conductor.He is a soloist in the rajkó Orchestra....He's my brother :)
Does he still play with the rajko orchestra? I'm going to Budapest in August. Can I see him play? Thanks!!!
You meant Fehér Gyula:-)
i hope he is still playing. His music is magical and his smile says it all,

No music & no conductor, yet what a brilliant, soulful & authentic performance of this beautiful composition. Thank you for posting this piece. And thank you, the Rajko Orchestra. Unforgettable!
The conductor is the person with the baton at the front. There is a conductor

Ma bucur ca Bartok , prin creatia lui , , a ilustrat frumusetea dansurilor populare romanesti !
I have come back to this video several times because I find it has a very beautiful sound, not slick like a major Western orchestra. It sounds very real to me. I love it. A few pitch problems are of no signifcance to me.
You totally nailed it -- the sound! the sound!
richtig super....-ORIGINALL !! Thank you ! Wonderful !!
Romanian music noted by Bartok in Transilvania, especially in Bihor area, from romanians villages.
i need to say that hungeryan and romanian folk songs are my my definetly lovelyst (i like irish and other celtic folk too but its SO different).
i think the usic of a folk is the best way to imagine how they live ;) )

Absolutely wonderful. Bartok would be in tears of joy with this magnificent rendering.

@matewboss010 but it is"Romanian dances"inspired by the romanian folk music!Bella Bartok WAS RISEDAMONG ROMANIANS ,WITH ROMANIAN MUSIC INFLUENCE

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS AMAZING VIOLIN SOLOIST?. IS HE PART OF THE RADJO ORCHESTRA; HIS CONDUCTOR, OR IS HE ONLY HERE, ON A SPECIAL PRESENTATION?
Not the most accurate version, but still one of my favourites.

They're playing in Budapest, Hungary. This song is called Romanian Folk Dances, by Bela Bartok.
Superb Gypsy musicians wearing Hungarian costumes and Jewish skull-caps (yarmulka) playing great music (collected by Bartok in Romania) in the Great Synagogue, Budapest. How good is that? Kituno, Nagyszeru, Klass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pásztor József Bartok did not compose this music, he only noted this songs from Romanian peoples in Transilvania.
Bartók composed the accompaniments to the folk melodies he had heard, recorded and written down, and to the children's songs “For Children”, based on hungarian and slovakian songs as well. he witnesses about this it was a lot more work for himself to find the right taste of arrangements fitting to the notated folk tunes, than composing and working out his own original pieces ..
For people are wondering where are they from they are Hungarian Gypsies they live in Budapest . The cimbalom player is my uncel
Say hi to your uncle from me
and the director violinist is the Rabi of my congregation.....
For me one of most interesting performances. The most mystical performance indeed
If you respect the singularities of each orchestra, you'll perhaps understand how unique is each performance.
Otherwise, only the original composer can play his or her song properly.
With respect, my friend, this orchestra are almost all of Roma descent.
They were trained at the Budapest Academy in Hungary.
They are wearing yarmulkes because they are playing in a synagogue,

This piece isn't played like classical musicians so this is great Bartok would have loved this.
bartok, you are the man, so sad that he died so poor, but he was rich in his music
You should be more open minded, this is not Baroque music. The 'out of tune' you hear is actually a delicate sense of Eastern, modal, pure and natural music, transposing your mind to the subtile life and culture of the Romanian early - folk dances. I imagine so :)

Interesting and very original interpretation of this work of Bela Bartok. Never heard before.Thanks
They are Hungarians
Amazing!🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
a great masterpiece .the composer is a genious..

They dance their way through it!

im sorry but the fifth moment sucked im playing it in orchestra and its not spicatatto an hes hitting all different strings. But it good overall.

I'm not responsing to this comment as I have no idea what it says.
I just want to say to all those who see these sites as a vent for their racist or anti racist comments to: JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!!
Notice it's ALL MEMORIZED! No one is reading music!
you are crazy, this is a masterpiece
It shouldn't be so harmonious. It's a fucking Middle European dance! It's supposed to have some zest to it. Downright brutality. Not just in the end, but all round. :/
There is something around 1:02 which hurts my ears.
I have no idea where my original comment is.
May be there is not real freedom in opinioning even here as well, haha.
U may be right. But I think all of us has his/her own explanation. Different point of views, thats all.
He can play well on the violin and anybody can make mistakes.
bravooo :D im albanian romanian peple and albanian are similar
@Venezolanolibre1 Such vitriol and brute rage put into defending child rape.
Why is that you feel such a need to attack those who detest such an act?
this is an romanian song,if you're brother plays it for fun ,tell him to stoptelll him to study george enescu.then tell him to visit romania
Why does nationality matter ? Bela's music is for everyone , music has no nationality .
Sadly more and more people can not understand, that nationalism is based on the love of your country not on hatred.
Absolutely brilliant. Visited Romania many times. Beautifully played wonderful people. Greetings from Yorkshire.
Lovely. Greetings and peace from Romania!
not the best recording, but very interesting/good.
Meraviglioso...wonderful..for me more interesting
you are very primitive! this not Romanian composition but Hungarian! composer Bela Bartok !
original performance! by jews! wow!
i'm sorry, but that soloist killed that piece. the wind instruments didn't help either.
Welcome to the Human Race.
There is only one limitation ,it is your Mindset.
I wonder , what Limited you ?
I am shure You can Google it .
nothing like going to the source as a reference for this piece :)
@Monicagd2007 or he couldv'e been a Romanian composer born under Hungarian rule.
neked meg mi a bajod kisfiu inkább tanulj okosodj hogy mersz te igy ide irni!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ne téveszd össze a szezont a fazonnal kis buta!
yes, Béla Bartók composed after collecting folk songs, hungarian and romanian
Béla Bartók was born in Hungary! This settlement belonged to Hungary once in Nagyszentmiklós! his current name Sinnicolau Mare
hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagyszentmikl%C3%B3s
They are gipsys famous gipsy musicians! name is Rajko orchestra
Szerentem Te értetted félre, ennek a Bartók műnek ez a címe "román táncok"
i don't know who ur talking to, but I AM playing it. so wtf?
Thumbs up.
@Monicagd2007 Bartok was not born rumanian ever, you wish.
I wish i could add more thumbs up.
It doesn't matter at all, of course. I just wanted to satisfy my couriosity, cause I knew that mostly rajko orchestra are scheduled as gipsy orchestra but seeing them inside of a sinagogue I thought that someone of them could be jew. I'm just courious and I write it in caps, I DON'T WANT TO ABUSE NONE, I'M NOT RACIST ! That's for you, davazno1 and for all the youtube users.
"seems a jew" what does it mean? By which physical standards does one define a the "race" of a human being? Is it the dark hair? The arched nose? Paul Newman and Whoopy Goldberg, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lenny Kravitz, they are all so different, right? Guess what... they are all jewish.
Sorry staccato, you may not mean to be a racist, but you certainly sound like one.
Think again, please.
This is not racism, and the question is not stupid at all.
They are gipsies, they define themselves as an orchestra of gipsies. Also, "Rajkó" means child in the roma (rom) language. They are wearing kipa only because they are playing in a Synagogue. (Dohány utca, Budapest)
