Composer: Béla Viktor János Bartók (March 25, 1881 - September 26, 1945)
Orchestra: Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by Iván Fischer
00:00 Introduction - The Chaotic City
01:27 Curtain - The Girl and the Three Tramps
03:13 The First Seductive Dance
04:41 The Shabby Old Rake
06:56 The Second Seductive Dance
08:20 The Shy Young Man
10:13 The Third Seductive Dance
11:47 The Mandarin enters the room
13:59 The girl begins a hesitant dance
18:44 She shudders at his embrace and he chases her
21:03 The three tramps leap out, seize the Mandarin and tear him away from the girl
23:06 Suddenly the Mandarin's head appears between the pillows and he looks longingly at the girl
25:58 The terrified tramps discuss how they are to get rid of the Mandarin
27:30 The body of the Mandarin begins to glow with a greenish blue light
29:10 She resists no longer - they embrace

the frenetic introduction. the languid queer melodies. whole piece somewhat drunk and spilling out all over itself with glissandos and bulbous sounds of brass. the ferocious syncopation. the sense of embarrassment and shame… the searching loneliness in the high strings. gorgeous orchestration and layering. lush and beguiling without drowning you in the logic of its point-making. good example of how to express sexuality in music

The bass clarinet in the recording is in Bb, yet the score says it's in A?? (i guess it's a misprint)

@Cmaj7 Жыл бұрын

bass clarinets in A are rare nowadays but they were relatively normal back then so the clarinetist just used one in Bb more likely

@kenl5472 11 ай бұрын

Played the part once. There are many A bass clarinet parts in the repertoire that are just transposed on Bb bass.

It's such a drag. All this genuine attempt at a new music, and the story it supports is more stale and trite than one can reasonably imagine. At the very least, the entire cast should be male. That would be an improvement. Or skip the ballet itself.
