Never realized this but playing that snare drum right from the beginning of the piece must be challenging to say the least. No rhythmic variations, just the same phrase over and over. Outstanding.
Still loving this is 2026!!!
There is no other piece like Bolero. The only one off the top of my head in which the conductor is NOT the glue of the piece...that honor belongs to the snare drummer(s). Barenboim is right to just stand there and cheerlead.
A wonderful rendition of this evocative piece of Music. Maurice would be proud!
