I’m not sure people understand the levels this guy has reached in his craft. I legitimately think this may be THE highest achievement in history by a human. Those who’ve spent countless hours playing the violin understand this. A small percentage of violinists can reach levels where you can play Paganini and Ernst quite well, and you’ll still NEVER be able to do the things this guy can do. And it’s not even just that he’s able to play the notes, which in itself would be close to impossible for many due to not having even the sheer physical abilities, he plays incredibly musically. It’s like, if everyone is trying to achieve a 3:30 mile run, and then all of a sudden someone comes and does a 2:30 mile run.

The first solo “polyphonic” virtuoso violinist/composer to eclipse and even surpass the great Paganini. This is tantamount to “one giant leap”. What a great privilege to behold this astonishingly gifted genius deliver yet another unprecedented and unrivaled performance milestone in music. Will virtuosi be courageous enough to take on this piece as part of their repertoire? Perhaps, but these masterpieces will stretch and task us “mere mortal” violinists beyond our limitations of dexterity and precision. Witnessed here indeed is audacious and ground-breaking mastery and creative prowess. One need only listen to solo works such as his “I Brindisi”, “Dies Irae”, Mozart “Eine Klein Nachtmusik”, and “Sanctus et Agnis”, to see the powerful progression. Like Paganini, Kim’s innovative music/techniques will continue to evolve and transcend, freeing us from the mediocrity of conformity, redefining what is possible with a bow and four strings.🎻

@aegeanenjoyer668

Жыл бұрын

Ernst already did that and for solo violin, surpassed Paganini. Kim is on the same league if not higher when it comes to fully harnessing the possibilities of the violin as a polyphonic instrument. Although there are others doing it too, for Bach or Liszt for example. So it's more like people are finding this way to further advance violin technique. That, and guitar transcriptions with endless controlled ricochets (see Ricci's or Leong's transcriptions).

Not gonna lie, I'm here because of Twoset Violin's video. Someone in the comments was like, "If you think this (his Mozart video) is something, you should see him do Beethoven 5." And now, I see why they said that. He graduated from being a string quartet to being an entire freaking orchestra. 😵‍💫

This is something different even than that though. I may just be ignorant but I don't know anybody who's stretched the instrument like this since Ernst-- so in the last 150 years. I feel like the what's possible on the violin is suddenly different. I can't even feel bad about my own playing because of how in awe I am. Unreal.

Holy crap what was that hand position at 3:10??!!!!!!!!! You have changed is all forever Roman! I’m a cellist and I’ve only known thumb positions on cello but I never knew that such things could happen on violin!!!!!!

Simply the best violinist alive to date, and potentially the best to ever pick up a violin. He would definitely give Paganini a run for his money.

Perlman is still alive though. Roman is likely top 5 though

In my opinion Perman is not in top 5 😂😅​@pulsar2049

That was the single most astonishing feat of musical performance i have ever seen.

I think roman Kim gives all of us the experience of watching paganini alive playing for us. Imagine this kind of sick talent playing in the 1700', now all the legends about He selling his soul for talent make sense. In the minds of those people this kind of playing was something impossible, and the only way to make it something comprehensible was attributed it to the devil. Im so happy to be alive in the same era of Roman and be able to watch this kind of videos. Making the impossible , possible. MAESTRO!!!

What in the world! I have never seen violin played like that before… he is the Paganini of our generation. People will be studying his works for years to come.

petition to let Roman Kim be the first to use the first time machine to go back in time where his talents would be appreciated

"We told you to bring an orchestra!" - (*Coughs in Roman Kim*)Yes, and I did. I believe now I know how people felt when they saw paganini playing. It's hard to believe that someone is actually playing that on one violin.

We absolutely need a reaction on this by @Twosetviolin

Roman Kim no necesitas acompañamiento, tu violín es completo, mis más sinceros respetos el mejor violinistas de nuestra época, saludos de Paraguay

Some day in the future this piece will be a audition requirement for the Juilliard entrance exam. I am lucky for I will die before that time. This piece is by far the most difficult piece ever for the violin.

Difficult to believe. I am a bit of a Beethoven expert. This is flawless interpretation. Where do you even start of the levels of difficulty to pull this off? I'm going to stop trying to analyse and just enjoy the bliss.

you are no expert of anything, let alone the maestro, if you believe this interpretation bears any music value. Dont believe me? go listen to kleiber and the vienna phil play the real deal.

Over the last 30 years, whenever I met violinists, I told that violinists must use thumb to play violin and develop technics, but they told it was impossible. Now I can see it is possible. I have been waiting for this moment around 30 years and finally I can prove that I was correct. Dear Roman KIM, I really appreciate you prove my word. Thank you. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I think I only took two breaths while I watched the whole piece. As other people had say here: history in the making! Bravissimo!

Браво!!! Брависсимо!!! Родился новый дьявол скрипки, новый Великий Паганини. Обратите внимание на его тень на видео. Оператор чётко снял не только его руки, но и его душу. Как жаль, что я не слышал его раньше. Теперь буду следить за его творчеством. Брависсимо!!!

Fantastico!! Roman Kim performs yet another masterpiece all by himself again! He's just amazing! Bravo!!

I didn't notice I was holding my breath until I feel a little lightheaded. Pure brilliance as always, Mr Kim.

Wow 😮 Violin with frets, interesting 😃

Wow...Paganini plays Beethoven! I could use some amazingly eloquent phrases to describe this virtuosic performance, but the two words that came to mind were "Holy Crap!!" Roman Kim....I don't know where that other person playing the violin is hidden in this video, as often it truly sounds like two people are playing perfectly in sync. I have played the violin for over 50 years, and hope someday to be able to see you. Rock on Roman Kim!

This man has pulled so much ahead of the violin community that his talent is not comprehensible for anyone anymore

This is very impressive! It sounds like a whole orchestra! You deserve millions of subscribers and views !bravo roman !

WHAAAAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. We need twoset onto this asap. Roman, you're a violin god, how do your hands not cramp.

Tartini: "Yo, that's the guy from my dream bruh..."

This is so good!! For a whole symphony to be played by solo violin, it’s really amazing to see it. I hope to see more videos like this.

gente, tenemos que entender que estamos ante quien podría ser el mejor violinista de toda la historia, seamos responsables, suscribanse, pongan me gusta y compartan a todos los que puedan esta obra de arte

Absolutely astoning and incredible - by far the best transcription yet!

Superb job! I'm in awe of the amount of work put into elevating this piece. I feel like Roman Kim has broken through the glass ceiling of what is possible. We're now witnessing the impossible!

In Roman's video titled "ROMY KING plays HIGHWAY STAR of DEEP PURPLE [Violin Solo]" there's a comment thread that has his replies explaining about his fingerboard with those fret like bumps. Original comment is from Roman himself "Thank you guys!!!" One person asked in the replies "What's that fingerboard?" and he replied "Fingerboard i developed myself .I make many experiments on violin)" and then 2 people asked "It looks very interesting! Can you explain the benefits of these little fret-like bumps? I would like to try that fingerboard!" and "What does that fingerboard does?" and he replied "make sound much more precise. it gives many things-i cant explain,but you can understand when you try this.but you must to play violin a bit different way-fingers must be putted much more flat for example" and "maybe) but you know i play with this things something like 1 year. . .that is experiment.i can play precise on violin without,i played whole my life on normal violin-hear my earlier videos. but about precise i mean in a big hall. you can hear difference in big hall. about microfone-maybe more,i dont know)" So I guess it makes sense to be using that kind of fingerboard to play these out of this world chords. Absolutely mind blowing!

As a guitarist of over 40 years i look at what this guy does in complete awe and amazement at the impossible techniques he is using...truly imposibly inspiring.

Bravísimo Roman!!! You´re insanely spectacular, you always find ways to surprise us all, yet your art seems so handcrafting, so fresh and so classical at the same time, you surpass attributes as a violinist and as a musician. God bless you and give you many years of life and talent, as a gift to us!!!

Mind blowing arrangement and playing! Those hybrid bow waving double stops, with legato on one string and flying stacatto on the other, might just be an actual first in violin technique; not something one sees every day (or century). Thank you, Roman. You made my day significantly better.

Roman Kim is completely next level, but that technique has been around since the eighteenth century! I don't know the violin rep as well but there's a couple of cello etudes by Duport that use it.

Just wonderful! Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

So freaking cool!!! Well done. Bow technique, finger positioning, violin posture, just brilliant

Невероятно! Полный восторг! Вера в безграничные человеческие возможности перешла на новый уровень! 🔥😎👏

Unbelievable genius. I'm stunned at the talent and skill of your transcription and playing. The first violist that I have seen in my entire life that I would even begin to put in the same sentence as Paganini. Wow.

I am just speechless. I truly believe that you're expanding the limits of the violin. It's always a treat watching you play Roman. Love from South Korea!

This is absolutely phenomenal playing! If I ever thought I was any good at violin I take it back after seeing this!

This the greatness Mr.Roman , you are an inpriration for all violinists thank you for this impressive work

It's hard for a solo violin to approach the power of a full orchestra, so the fact that you were able to recreate it so well is amazing! And the similarities of some parts - I did a double-take a few times thinking the audio somehow got switched. This was well worth the wait! 👏👏👏

The amount of genius, inspiration, dedication, and plain hard work to do this is astounding. Roman is a true pioneer.

I actually cant really believe this! What an incredible performance! I am speechless! Very good roman!
