Would be cool to SEE the xylophones, etc. playing those octave jumps at the end! Such an exciting piece! I've heard it a million times & it's still thrilling!

[susanreitz]

That's the fastest tempo I've ever heard it played. About had an anxiety attack listening to it. Love this piece!

[cheeseff]

This song is for when you wake up and u realise you are late for work

[Savurov-nzzj]

Fastest rendition I've ever heard.. Without sacrificing precision or musicality... Love it !

Kudos to the people of Bulgaria for loving and playing this piece so well!

Khachaturian - an unsung master! Great performances too.

[rpda]

The musician playing the piccolo is gorgeous.

[stacymar]

Love this version. This is one of the most exuberantly delightful pieces of music ever written, and this arrangement brings that exuberance to life.

[harveyaaronson]

Haven’t heard this great classic tune. Beautiful, orchestral production.

That first impression by watching notes from that Lady(0:07) is magnificent . She thought Holly S** ! what on earth I should Keep on playing whole notes for 3 MIN ?

[jslasher]

The lady tympanist's performance is laudable.

You know...I never realized what speed this had in my earlier years!!! Am I getting old?!!!

[MyTroubadour]

Une interprétation digne des toutes meilleures !!

[jacobanderson]

The best version of the song I have heard as of yet. Perfectly paced and beautifully played, truly masterful!

[amrewais]

wonderful i replayed it at least 4 5 times to figure out the harmony in the orchestra and how the drums are controlling the rhythm which is very difficult the more difficult is how to play it with very fast rhythm

[Beefsteer]

I was 12 yrs old, had played the piano for 5 yrs and was good--but-not this good.
My piano teacher gave me--for concert show--Flt. of the Bumble Bee and this one.
I quit. Pros are challenged by this-and it is often simplified when it is played now.
THis is a great version and thanks for the share. Very special and well done-bravo!
