To quote Tool, "All you know about me's what I sold ya, I sold out long before you've ever even heard my name, I sold my soul to make a record, an dip💩 man, you bought one.)

To be completely clear, it is a wacky thing created for this performance. She didn't go and find a Stroh violin. She has a video introducing all her violins, where she describes the process of buying an extremely cheap violin and a cheap/used trumpet, cut the trumpet apart, and glued it onto the violin.

What a great commentary. It is important that when sharing our opinions we do so from a place of understanding and knowledge. I have learnt so much from your commentary Emma. Thew world would be a much better place if people actually tried to understand what we see in other people as "otherness"; many a times these ill-intended criticisms (as what we see from the "classical violinist") stem from fear and ignorance towards that which is unknown.

She plugs in and doesn't, depending on the video and demands of the performance.

Yes, being recognized AND making a living with your art means that at least some people like one and are rewarding for that.

the classically trained musician thinks Irish music is "basic"? huh, that's weird. wonder if there's some sort of reason for that 🤔

So glad I came across this. Lindsey is my idol and I am currently learning violin because of her. I recently bought sheet music for Eye of the Untold Her and a couple of other songs (thank you Lindsey for the availability of them) and even though I absolutely massacre her songs, they are just so fun to try and learn 😅

I stumbled across this video and instantly became a fan of Sister Ursuline! This definitely won't be my last visit.

Could someone please tell me the name of the reviewer that was so critical of Lindsey?

Thing is, even within classical music there were innovations considered very modern at the time and recieved the same attitude. Mozart was an odd one in the eyes of his contemporaries. It is the snake that bite its tail 😅

Damn i need twoset to react to this 👀 that would be an interesting discussion

"It's very basic music as well..." It was pretty great watching the "music scholar with an emphasis on British folk" metaphorically draw in the /longest/ breath before launching into a (very polite) dissertation on how, no, Irish folk (which the song is based on) is not "basic" by any definition of the word, thank you /very/ much. :D A very meta video as Ms. Ursuline admits, but a great perspective regardless!

Just came across this review, and you have won a new subscriber and my respect based on your respect for Lindsay's art, unlike the reactir in the video... Also, Lidsay IS / WAS a classical violin player and then moved on to playing contemporary/ modern music and her own compositions

Sounds more like she's jealous that Lindsey has raw true talent that took her far and she doesn't and hasn't.

I am going to watch more of your videos, you have a refreshing viewpoint ……

Imagine hurling criticism at an electric violin player with snarky comments like "this is very strange but sound waves don't attack anyone". When not being very well rounded in music knowledge or her own instrument or physics for that matter. How does this person even listen to and interpret the classical music she is being a snob about if she can't comprehend imagery and things being metaphorical.

i learn the coolest fancy diplomatic insults EVER! thanks so much 😍 i love u!

cool video very well said i totally agree!

I need you to move the microphone stand. For a moment there I thought it said "Chicks with Dicks"... 😅 Nice performance by the way. 😊

And as you mentioned - plus it is a music video - she is not playing anything recording wise - we don't know what instrument she actually played during the recording session... And all kinds of bluegrass players and fiddlers in general play away from the bridge...

Wouldn't be surprised that they ARE playing, but ambient sounds, like boots on the ground, the rustle of clothing and other noise makes it almost mandatory that the music is overdubbed on the visual portion. Not to mention random stuff lije maybe a plane flying by.

Classical IS a foundation from which other forms build, however, it is not the only one.

I love your assessment. I love the roast you gave to the lady who is acting snobbish. don't get me wrong I love classical music but I am sick of the "snobby attitude". thank you.

I wish classical musicians would stop making themselves the b all end all to music. Violins are one of the most versatile instruments out there and I am proud to say that I have started to play my granddad's violin at age 54. I don't know what kind of music I want to play but I know part of it will be gospel church music as I love the Lord and want to praise him with that like my aunt did with the piano when I was 5. She used to wake me up from naps playing church hymns on an old out of tune piano. Viva Le violin and Viva Le fiddle.

I'm pretty sure I could listen you talk... Forever?

After watching this, I had to subscribe!! Loved the way you talked about music!! Pitting Genres against each other is not what should happen !! Music is music! What you love may not be what other people love! No need to belittle them for their choices!! kooking forward to seeing more of your videos!! Thank you!! 🤩

People gotta remember "classical" was once "contemporary".

GORGOUS gal, Sister Ursuline. Sister Ursuline as in a nun? Gonna go to Flametown for my desirous, amourus thoughts of you.😍🥰😘💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Maybe misspoke fun of for fun with.

I wonder if she would say the same thing about electric guitars? I bet she listens to music that has electric guitars in it, which would make her and ppl like her hypocrites.

Hello :) I love the way you thinking and talking about music. You haave classical background but you keep your mind open. For me there's not superior or inferior music. There's music, that's all ! the only thing is the pleasure when we make or listen music. The genre doesn't care. Sorry for my poor english, it's not my language :)

I know I'm late but I really love the way you break everything down and make it comprehensive to a wide audience especially those of us who are complete novices.

Thank you! I hear so many people say "she's not playing this" about her music videos, & my reaction to that is "...duh! NOBODY is 'playing this' in music videos; if you want her to be 'playing this', then watch _concert footage,_ not something scripted." And I don't understand how they don't know that. This is a medium--music video, I mean, not RUclips--that's existed since the 1970s. There used to be a whole TV channel that showed nothing but music videos 24/7. To be a professional in the music industry & not understand how this closely-related medium works reeks of feigned ignorance. So, again, thank you for calling that out every time the other reactor dipped into that well.

Thank you for your clear stance! It's appalling to see how little this "classically trained violinist" knows about the world outside her tiny bubble. Not being able to tell music videos from live performances? Come on! Can she tell movies from the theatre? Creativity and imagination really seem to be lacking here...as well as basic understanding of physics... "Sound waves don't attack anyone"...I beg to differ...sound has been used as a weapon for a long time. Currently it's used for crowd control and to create areas of denial. It even has been used on commercial ships to deter Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. The effects range from making you feel uneasy to bursting your ear drums. But if somebody were even more malign, such a weapon could even be used to kill you. The Soviets even destroyed buildings in some experiments during the Cold War. I mean, she doesn't need to know all the details but does she even grasp how the sound from her instrument is coming about?

Is anyone else having issues hearing her?

I'll be honest, I went to a very music focused school as rock guitarist that was full of people like the first classical reactor, it was a nightmare. When I later learned classical violin in my mid 20's I had such a prejudice against classical musicians I went in to my first lesson ready to do battle. I remember being so surprised when my teacher asked me if I already played and I mentioned improv guitar. I watched a scholarship graduate from a national conservatoire run a mile at the mention of improvisation. Attitudes like the first reactor create so many barriers and divisions in music when everyone is good in their own way, I wish there were people like you in my school growing up.

Lindsey Stirling is classically trained. She had ambitions of being first chair. Then she found her power in her art and instrument and the world is a better place because of it. Those that can do those that can't throw shade. Good video.... If you want to see a totally beautiful violin video check out Lindsey Stirling " Angles up on high"

Thank you. Very objective and informative!

THIS IS A GREAT SONG, UNIQUE AND IT FEELS VERY AMERICAN, BUT NOT STODGY AND TRADITIONAL.

Oh god your good

Yeah, metal gets this all the time lol singer is not good because they are in the metal bands ok and they are still good singers though... or Tina Goa same thing again she does metal therefore not as good at cello. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard yeah and your point is fantastic thank you lol. Well 2Cellos for sure have a pair of nuts then no matter what happens lol.

Sister Ursuline: You are putting me to sleep. Next!

She has been talking for over 5 minutes without getting to it.

Sound waves don't attack you?! Obviously this ostrich has never been to a rock concert pit in her most uneventful life. P.S. your shirt is 👍💜🖤

Ha! You're video popped up on my feed. I'm glad i watched it. I followed Lindsey since her original AGT performance. She's come a long way and effectively has created her own style. I agree with you that there is this elitist mentality in the classical music industry that also is perpetuated in literature and art ( paintings, sculptures, etc). It's divisive when art in all forms should be universal and provide a commonality in beauty in human expression.

Sound wave can most assuredly affect solid matter. On a small medical level they crush kidney stones the procedure is called lithotripsy. Light and water can cut, water can crush….what an ignorant woman in apparently several media forms.

Cool reaction - but sweet baby Jesus, the woman was painfully literal and kind of dully ignorant. She skipped over the difference between electric and regular instruments, she griped about (or ignored) the fact that this was a music video so 'she's not really playing an instrument' and seemed ignorant of the fact that the video was fantasy 'music doesn't really do that!'. Sorry, didn't seem good-humored to me, she seemed embarrassed as heck she was doing this and a bit confused. Like a history professor reviewing LOTR who politely thinks it's crap because it has Elves in it. Maybe she needs to wake up, first. PS: Yes, I am a cranky birdie and speak my mind, even if it's a bit rude. Just kinda me.

You are so right in everything you said, and bravo for staying so calm in your reactions. I'm also a classical violinist, I'm a concertmaster or first violin in the orchestras I play in, I love both classical music AND Lindsey Stirling's songs and I really don't understand why I couldn't :D I think the main reason for that kind of criticism is jealousy. Lindsey composed pop songs FOR violin, that's what was missing, that's what I was looking for, for so long - and she did it. First time I heard her music, I knew I had to get it, play it, for me and for other people to show them that yeah, violin IS fun - and I even made a RUclips channel. She reinvented violin, made it fun in a new way, made people of all ages like violin, and/or want to start playing the violin. And... She is tremendously successful, has an audience classical musicians or soloists couldn't dream of. In my opinion, her music isn't a threat to classical music, it isn't "basic" (??) and certainly not laughable, on the contrary. Technically, some of her songs are really challenging like classical music pieces can be. Also, classical violinists I know don't all know Lindsey, but the ones who do really like her too. They even give her songs to practice to their students ! I contribute to Lindsey's songs by playing them, I didn't really feel at ease with a talk... But you did it, so thank you !

The same pushback from the classical world that Vanessa Mae got some 20 years ago. She was classically trained and a protege, but played very similar to Lyndsey and also moved around. I love their styles

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen for many reasons. The woman in the video just comes across as an elitist snob and she got slapped down with education. I love this video, so much
