    Thrilling! I had no idea who Bartók was until I came across a plaque honoring him on the exterior wall of the apartment building across the street from me on W 57th St in Manhattan( between 8th & 9th Avenues). The plaque mentioned that he resided in that building at the time of his death in 1945. I'm so happy I was prompted to check this out!

      I didn't know what you meant by "ponytail alternation." Then I started watching it. Looks like they zippered together two different takes. In one, Ms Lark's ponytail hangs behind her back; in the other, half of it hangs over her shoulder across her collarbone.

  • @horsewhysperer
    @horsewhysperer 9 років тому +1

    I've heard many versions of this - piano, violin, etc. and this is not only technically flawless but attempts (whether intended or not) to capture the feel of the "gypsy-ness" that comes thru when Bartok plays it. Of course, no contemporary orchestra captures this found with a true gypsy orchestra :) (There's a UA-cam video of one somewhere...
    Fabulous job Tessa and Yannick.

    • @Decebal1906
      @Decebal1906 9 років тому +3

      +horsewhysperer
      "gypsy-ness" ? :)
      Bela Bartok was inspired by traditional songs and dances of Romanians/Wallachians.
      I can tell you exactly from wich songs and dances he was inspired, but with Romanian names : Jocul Cu Bâta, Brâul, Pe Loc, Buciumeana, Poarga Româneascâ, Mâruntel.
      Gypsies have nothing in common with this. it's easy to recognize gypsy music, because its quite different from the Romanian one.
      Hope you are not another person who thinks that Romanians/Wallachians are gypsies.
      Have a nice day.
