Khachaturian is one of the most underrated composers out there. He was absolutely brilliant.

I have ignored Khachaturian's music for a long time. I thought he was a one-hit wonder, but I now see that is simply not the case. This suite along with his symphonies and ballet music is great.

This song just took me by the throat, spun me around the room, and threw me in an icy river. Fantastic

The music that plays in your head when you can't find your mom at the grocery store as a kid.

The fact that this was performed on June 21, 1941. The day before Operation Barbarossa gives goosebumps and the song sounds like a chain of events ready to happen.

This was my first experience at the National Symphony orchestra in Washington DC. I remember I could hardly sit still. I felt like I was running. He has a brief period when you catch your breath and he begins again. Genius.

I both love and hate this waltz. Love because I ve never heard so much passion in 4 minutes. And hate because no other waltz will ever fully satisfy me again...

Legendary and breathtaking. This is a masterpiece.

There's something behind this waltz that I can't really catch up, even tough I listen to it several times. The tension and distension dynamics, the crescendo and diminuendo throughout the whole piece... this set of contrasts build a mystical, suffocating and magnanimous atmosphere. It's somehow unexplainable the feelings that listening to this transmits.

Господи!!! Какой шедевр!!! Я реву, не могу остановиться. Я искала этот вальс, не знала, кто автор. Это как же надо было выйти из себя, чтобы такую музыку написать !!!!!
@mariaecantualegre5743 3 years ago

The overwhelming passion and power behind this masterpiece compels even the faintest of hearts. Every time this comes on my playlist, I find myself trying to decide whether or not to give into a bout of waltzing. :)
