When I took 20th Century music history, I did a presentation on the instances of the Golden Ratio in this piece, particularly how significant changes (new instruments being introduced, etc.) occur at measure markings that are coincidentally Fibonacci numbers. Very interesting stuff.

This piece is amazing, but the 3rd movement is the one from "The Shining". I just remember that because there was one part where a door creaked open along with the xylophone solo at the beginning of the piece, and I thought that it matched perfectly. Great job on the work!

This piece can be so hypnotic and yet so haunting. No wonder Stanley kubrick used it for 'The shining'. It's unusally scary yet calm.

My dad used to have a recording of this, along with the score. When I was in high school (and into hard and prog rock), I used to sneak into his repair shop and listen to this with headphones while reading the score over and over again. I couldn't get enough of it. It's still one of my favorite pieces, and this is a great interpretation of it. Gives me chills--and tears.

Thank You for posting this..very nice music and well conducted too, i Think Kubrik used this music for "The Shining" because of the Mistery inside Bartok style...a real genius of XX century.For me are 30 years that i love this music, i still remember the first impression...was really a nem world opening in my brain.

Fibonacci numbers are sometimes used to determine tunings, art, and music. It is commonly thought that the first movement is based oin the mathmatical principles of Fibonacci. Checkout Fiboncci and the Golden Ratio or Golden Rectangle! These mathmatic patterns can be seen in: Freemason architechture, the Pyramids of Giza, Wash DC layout, star mapping, stonehenge the monolith in the movies 2001, 2010 etc... pretty cool conspiracy !

It's a single camera view because the conductor is recording himself for analysis of his conducting technique. It is not meant to be a professional TV production which shows off all the soloists and the ensemble. It would have been nice to have other angles, but it's good to have this at all on YouTube...

Absolutely the grand masterpiece for chillout. I know of one other composition by a different composer who could bring out the same chillout effect.

Really? Some of this piece scares the shit out of me, because of Kubrick's 'The Shining".
