best "Hungaria"s

a

use this thread to list the best versions of that tune.

Bireli's Live in Paris version, no contest...

a

I think all of Bireli's Hungaria's are some of his best arrangements/playing. There's one of him playing at the latest Samois on youtube and another of him playing at some school in Cali that are great.

this is probably the best online vid of the tune...starts at around 5min http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... u&q=bireli

Even though the sound balance is not too good and it is probably now considered "old fashioned", I like this one:-

Teddy, this is really nice. Who is it? Diz Disley? Bob Docker?

Best,

that's my favorite django version as well..needless to say, amazing!!! probably one of the best uses of chromatic run in that track (ie. the modulation) but i don't think it's some of his best playing like those other examples are with regard to bireli.

a

also, angelo's version from entre ciel et terre has of my favorite rhythm tracks. actually, that album has one of the best recorded swing sounds to my ears. in general, angelo and ludovic make some of the most listenable records in this genre.

It may not be his best but it is still fantastic playing particularly the second solo. Even when Django was not on top form, there are very few people who have been able to get close to him.

One of the most joyous versions I know, with real hilarity, is courtesy of Les Doigts de l'Homme:

Just a teaser. Get the CD, which is full of sharp ideas.
