Bolero / Maurice Ravel / Vasily Petrenko / Oslo Philharmonic 

@Michael Morford. Yes, Michael, it does start out slowly, and it ends slowly, too, because the tempo never changes, only the loudness. As a matter of fact, I commented that this conductor had the orchestra play a bit too slowly; it dragged a bit. I prefer Lorenzo Viotti’s speed at conducting this piece as it had more life and anticipation, as it should. The listener should not feel as if they have to poke the conductor to keep him from falling asleep.

Bro, very interesting way of interpretating the musical 'contents'..... 👍

@@Transition333 I agree with u, somehow it lacks a bit much 'punch'....

WELL SAID & BEAUTIFUL INDEED Michael. I have never looked at the piece in this fashion, and you have given me GOLD. Thank you tremendously. Sincerely, Sentebey at 80 y.o., in USA

❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ more power to all of you. I so appreciate it so much.

"no fear of neighbors" what

It's a beautiful piece of music. Did you mean the pandemics of the disease that had symptoms identical to the flu and only killed those who were admitted to the hospital, put on ventilators and given Remdesivir? Or did you mean the pandemics of asymptomatic cerebral function caused by the TV? Thank the lord that 15 months after the discovery of the new disease they were able to come up with a new, safe and effective vaccine that doesn't stop the spread and infection but you'll lose your job if you don't get it, because you are a threat, unlike those vaccinated who then get the disease against which they were vaccinated. Nevermind. Who cares that kids get myocarditis, it's a small price to pay, especially considering that kids had Zero problems with the disease, even according to the TV. You really can't make this 💩up. Have you noticed how many young and middle age people have died since 2020? Even experts on TV are confused... Anyway, good luck.

Actually, they were just a bit fast as I have enjoyed this piece often by many players. One minute more would have been perfect as is traditional by most orchestras including Ravels own performances.

To each their own, but I think the tempo was just right.
