In this tempo there is a completely different energy, so much heavier. Truly a great recording, one that ought to be used more as an example.

As a violinist and also a foreigner who lives in Romania I have to say this is simply breathtaking

[kittyscherbatskaya]

i dont know whom, but i want to thank god, thank bartok, thank those who played this version, thank the one who uploaded this for us to access it, thank the ones who made recording technology and internet, thank the romanian people and all people on earth from whos mind came all this beautiful melodies.... THANK U FOR THIS MUSIC AND THAT I CAN LISTEN TO IT

[johnbadalutz]

This music is from 1944, from a complete master of the violin, and in the old Romanian style —- worth our attention!

[TheMilkshakeuk]

Thank you - my favourite version, had this in a record, but unfortunately broke and was looking for this - 🙏🏻

[xDMrGarrison]

There´s that voice again, so beautiful. And also that delicate and subtle phrasing... What a treasure these recordings~

[marcvilleneuve]

It is not at all, too slow... It is just much more expressive than what we ear today. Menuhin sings on the violin and is very passionate.

[kittyscherbatskaya]

i like how these are slow but still energetic :3 nice version thank u for uploading <3

[christophemerville]

There is a lot to say about how we perceive the tempo. Are we influenced by contemporary interpretations, or looking for speed as a show of virtuosity? Personally, a surprising, unconventional, new tempo makes me rethink the work, projects a new light on it, even if I prefer a different tempo. It is your favorite dish prepared by different very skilled chefs. We should compare, evaluate, understand, rather than apply labels. Now, that was 1944 and it’s about Romania....

Julia, estoy feliz de haberte escuchado con los temas de tu graduación. Estoy absolutamente orgullosa por el simple hecho de haberte conocido antes de todo este perfeccionamiento. Estás tocando maravillosamente, estoy emocionada. Felicitaciones y éxitos, que los mereces. Muchísimos besos tesoro.

Does anybody know in which album we can find these tracks ? Menhuin has recorded different versions for these dances, but I would like to find this one in the original album

[zayraeilish]

thank you for your helpful post :) i"m done now with our project in P>E DANCE

[AlexP-jzsg]

Fantastic. Is that Gould in the second picture?

[radailic]

Kao Feniks... iz apsolutnog bola u radost...

[ferenckovacs]

It would be nice to play, but these are dance tunes, you should play the first two tunes much faster. Bartók and Szigeti played it much faster.

[sohailel-rimawi]

Menuhin is the only violinist who has a heart of a woman and a mind of a man he is my Idol.

[cheryledelman]

I just want to speed up the track. fantastic violin playing just too slow don't ya think?

[ExxylcrothEagle]

I really wish this first dance had a little more pep to it.... maybe the piano is dragging it down? I'm just not able to imagine dancing to this, and I like slow dancing.... something else is wrong... it's like plodding through gray mud

[MetalMinded]

Complete misunderstanding.
Way too slow and cheesy sentimentalism in there.
There is a reason it's called Romanian Folk DANCES
