André Rieu - Boléro (Ravel) 

My late dad was a drummer in a jazz trio in the 70’s and he once told me that Bolero was also known as the drummers nightmare as they have to keep the same beat and tempo going through the entire piece.

One day I will see this man live in concert.

Possibly the richest, most lush performance of Bolero I've ever heard. Bravo.

There is something about Bolero that just stirs the soul.

Unbelievable concentration levels of the drummer. And he keeps looking up the conductor. Wow. At least he got a standing ovation. Completely deserved.

That man on the drum 🥁is amazing! He must dream😴 at night about that rhythm, and have nightmares about losing it!

I play drums in an orchestra and my grandmother once went to see a performance of bolero, when she came back she said i had to listen to it and pitch it to my conductor which i never did. She died a few moths later just before Christmas and ive now decided to come back to this video and listen to the song and it is a musical masterpiece, thanks grandma 🕊️

This is not music, this is the sound of heaven

I don't even want to imagine how extremely difficult it must be to keep the beat that Marcel Falize is playing on his drum at the exact same speed for nearly seven minutes :o

Three things that make this particular live performance really stand out way above all of the rest I've seen on RU-vid...1. The tempo is perfect, slightly faster than usual, giving it a lot more energy. 2. The inclusion of the vocalists near the end of the piece is a stroke of musical arrangement genius...sends shivers every time! 3. The respect given to the humble snare drummers front of stage playing 7 minutes of perfect simplicity. Bravo indeed!

that drummer as live metronome.. incredible 😲

The Soloist Drummer, the Timpanist, the Orchestra, and Maestro Rieu’s hair, are Stars of the night! This wonderful version is the apotheosis of this famous piece. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The drummer's concentration and skills are remarkable!

That guy there on the opening drum. All the way through. What an absolute boss.

These events are like blinking stars in the dark sky

will never fail to send chills everytime! it would be a dream to hear this in real life!!

That drumer is focused as hell

I just want to be there... The stage and the outfits, the fire and lights are perfectly fit to the music. What a collaboration!

My dear beloved Master,Andre Rieu,I am listering to you with inspiration in my beautifull home in Poland. I see ,how you are connected with higher powers and higher spirit. I Love your ART and I appreciate it so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your ART inspires me in the morning and gives me the strength to be uplifled throughout the day.

One of the best piece of music on the face of this earth

When I was a boy in rural Jamaica. I recall this classical music that usually was played on an idyllic Sunday afternoon. It was so heavenly amongst the green, silent countryside ...just fantastic memories flooding. Amen.

I rember my mom listen this evry moring when i go to school really nice days miss you RIP MY MOM 😢😢

I remember we learnt this music at the Soviet school and thanks our music teacher he explained us this piece and its greatness. Brings me back to my wonderful childhood ❤

My son is 11 and we have watched one of Andre’s videos on a countless number of nights before bed since he was about 5. We call it “see them play” because that’s what he would ask, “Daddy, can we see them play?” Of the many we have seen, this one is his all time favorite.

How can anyone not like this?!

I can almost feel the orchestra building on the energy created by each section’s performance! This piece was a musical breeze running through my soul.

This man on the drum is incredible. How to do it is beyond my mind

Oh mon Dieu❤, comme tu es merveilleux, André le Génie... Comme j'aimerais pouvoir regarder un tel spectacle et voler avec les étoiles pour les incroyables espaces de beauté que tu répands avec ta musique, noble... Je t'aime beaucoup .. et merci à la vie d'être avec nous ..❤🙏⚘️

music is universal, love from Turkey

That’s real music, music that touches ones soul, music that carries one to a different level, outstanding,,,,

Можно ли назвать "Болеро" трансом? Несомненно!!! Сумасшедший транс!!! ❤ Шедеврально! Кто вообще сказал, что ТРАНС возможен лишь в электронной форме?! Его придумали древние шаманы. Андрэ Рье - мой любимый руководитель и дирижёр! Сколько в нем Величия!!! ❤❤❤..

This is one of my favorite songs. It is like magic, and this version for me is the best. When I hear it I feel such a deep emotion that makes me even cry. Beautiful, I have no words to express how much I like it. Thank you

Will never stop loving this music

БРАВО, МАЭСТРО! МЕЧТАЮ О ТОМ, ЧТОБЫ ВСЁ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСТВО ПРОНИКЛОСЬ РАДОСТЬЮ И ДУШЕВНОСТЬЮ ВАШИХ КОНЦЕРТОВ! ЗДОРОВЬЯ И ДОЛГИХ ЛЕТ ЖИЗНИ ВАМ И ВСЕМУ КОЛЛЕКТИВУ ОРКЕСТРА! УРА!

11 Years ago and BRAVO still isn't enough to say about this performance. Stirring, Exciting, Emotional, Extraordinary, and absolutely Breathtaking BRAVO!

É como se fosse um “ruído branco” pro meu bebê! Ele escuta desde os 4/5 meses e hoje com 1 ano e 3 meses só essa música pra acalma-lo

I just love the style of control. If you watch him, he just looks at the next contributor to the piece and raises an eyebrow. There are a lot of small grins backwards and forwards, these musicians would just about die for this man and you can't buy that. Salute to you sir, a very high standard indeed.

Mr Rieu you are wonderful with your beautiful musicians.

FANTASTIĆNO ! VELIČANSTVENO ! Melodija te zvuci violine su riječi koje opisuju ovu simfoniju te prolaze kroz svaku ljudsku poru. "Bolero"...znam da me voliš ti znaš da te volim ja, ljubavi jedina moja, dođi mi, da osjetim ljubav i moć.....želim da ti čujem glas al' znam, svi su protiv nas ljudi zli rastali nas, moja ljubavi. Tako je sudbina htjela. GRANDE Andre Rieu ❤

Without question the greatest showman in the history of concerts and orchestral performance. How lucky we are to live in Andres era. 👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

André Rieu & the Johann Strauss Orchestra performing Ravel's Boléro live in Maastricht. Taken from the DVD/Blu-Ray "André Rieu - Under the Stars - Live in Maastricht 5" available at: smarturl.it/maastricht5

My standing ovation to the Maestro and the whole team.

What that orchestra needs is a 5 string banjo, the greatest musical instrument in history.

Magistral!

Just a beautiful person. To see all them happy faces. And such talent. Where have I been for 62 years? This is why we are on the earth. Not for all the hate and negativity.

Most Beautiful Music in the world. Its magic to my ears, my soul, my heart.

Me es imposible escuchar ésta gran melodia y no sacarme de la cabeza al gran humorista mexicano Cantinflas, en su película El Bolero de Raquel

Вот оно-настоящее искусство,браво оркестру Рье и Равелю за музыкальный шедевр!!!!

I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard! Thank you Mom for introducing me to it.

Those trombones, man. Top-notch.

There are some heavenly pieces of music created by humans, just perfect, godly❤

אנדרה ריאו אתה בן אדם מאות גדולה יפה מבחוץ ומבפנים אדם יקר וטוב לב תודה וברבו הכל מדהים תודה לכולם על ודיאו מקסים❤

Wonderful Violin music by Andre Rieu _ I like.. Thank You for me and everyone listen enjoy and peace in the life . Thanks . God bless

Summer, this song plays each morning when the sun rises in Vama Veche, Romania. ☀️ 🇷🇴

This brings to mind the beautiful performance by Torvill and Dean in the Olympics. So lovely.

Just heard this performed by my local symphony but would love to hear Andre and his fine musicians live in concert. It never ceases to move me!

Absolutely talented conductor and violinist fantastic memory of any music he play, love to see him here in USA Boston Mass. I can't get over the performance he put on the shows are great, all of them I have not seen one dissatisfied performance thumbs up on all of them great work to all of your musician also this is team work.

I wish this version was the full 14 minutes, this version is incredible

I love the way André conducted this! ❤️ He is so sensitive to the way the written 🎶 music came from the composer himself. I ❤️ it! And André is so excellent and beautiful.

I met the "Bolero de Ravel" when I was 5 years old at the beginning of the year 1994. My father had an old cassette and for the first time I played it on the old "mini audio components". Of course, I didn't know that I was listening to a piece by Ravel, I was just fascinated by the music. Throughout my childhood I enjoyed this piece without having any idea of the most basic formalities, when was it composed? By whom? What style of music is it? I suppose that when genius reaches our ears, regardless of how old we are, we know how to recognize it and enjoy it. The beauty of music is universal and eternal.

Rieu doesn’t just play waltzes. A bolero is a slow-tempo eighteenth-century Spanish dance, but since it is in triple time just like a waltz, it seems to fit right up André Rieu’s street and is one of his best tracks. Ravel’s ‘Boléro’, composed in 1928, is probably the most famous bolero of all time - especially after it was used by Torvill and Dean for their unforgettable 1984 Olympic routine.

Andre is the greatest producer and showman in recent history... Let's go back 200 years.....🤔 No one can challenge him for his incredible productions that have never been achieved 🤗👏👍🥰

I love this version because of his use of the fireworks at the end to emphasize the end of the song. He is a genius.

Эту музыку можно слушать бесконечно! Действует, как удав на кролика! Завораживающе!

MY FAVORITE SONG :D, I LOVE IT!

O nível da orquestra diria que é excelente a obra bolero de Ravel cresce muito em qualidade parabéns maestro ❤

Absolutely fantastic, made me cry at the end, the passion of the music! Just brilliant 💞

Esse André é magnífico, e sua orquestra é mágica. Não me canso de ouvir essas canções maravilhosas. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Грандиозное исполнение!!! БРАВО!!! Равнодушным не оставит никого!!!!

André, k včerejším narozeninám přeji, aby vám nescházela energie v dalších letech při popularizaci klasické hudby tou krásnou formou, kterou umíte snad jen vy! Obrovská gratulace!

Obrigado, Digimon...por ter me apresentado essa obra de arte 💕💕💕

What a beautiful song and what a mastery of Andre playing it. He makes me dream and remember happy times. Thank you!!

Listening to this makes a bad day better. Love the art.

Постоянно,слушаю эту музыку,восхищаюсь талантом компазитора,восхитительными исполнителями.Состояние души необьяснимо-восторг,счастье,полет!Браво!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

nagyon sokszor megnéztem,és meg is fogom nézni, mert az amit gondoltam Ravelról, hogy ő nekünk szánta, a jövő a mult, a mult a jelen, de te részese vagy.

This song is played at the opening ceremony Tokyo Olympics 2021 tonight.

Música para los sentidos.Con estos conciertos logró que mi esposo de 86 años se le calme un poco la ansiedad , ya que padece Alzheimer.

Qualidade musical PLENA. Devemos sempre valorizar ARTE de qualidade. Coisa bem RARA nos tempos atuais. Tempos esses de I.A e BURRICE NATURAL. Simples assim. Um GRANDE 2024. E fui!!!

FANTÁSTICO.PERFECTA VERSIÓN DEL BOLERO DE RAVEL UNA MÚSICA QUE TE ENVUELVE UNA MARAVILLA GRACIAS ANDRÉ RIEU Y SU MAGNÍFICA ORQUESTA.BRAVO ❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

En aquel lejano y doloroso 2013, cuando estuve internado en el hospital, el Bolero de Ravel me arrullaba, me fortalecía, me daba ánimos, hasta las enfermeras me decían que bonito se oye, a las 3 am era lo mas hermoso que oían. Cuando salí del hospital, mi mamá me regaló una planta a la que para que creciera tan bonito le ponía esta obra magistral y si creció mucho, y ahora que la planta está en su nueva casa, su canción favorita la está oyendo, la llegué a ver bailar y se veía hermosa.

Rieu always knows how to make a concert great I so wish to see this in person. Maybe now a couple of years :(

Pray to God to restore the real world

Hi Andre, do Musik, Musik, Musik. Beautiful.

Hoy 12-3-2024, hace un año que pude asistir en Barcelona al concierto del gran maestro André RIEU con su gran orquesta y fue una maravilla, lo pase genial. Es único . Tengo un recuerdo imborrable de aquel día . Gracias de todo corazón querido André por hacernos tan felices con tu música ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

wow! amazing props to the snare drum guy for his concentration and maintaining the perfect beat for ALL other musicians to follow!! that took a lot of effort.
