Dude, this is pure insanity! I cannot believe my eyes and ears. Probably the best I've seen anyone play the marimba, including my amateur self. The technique, range within and between hands, dynamics, you're too much man! Haha keep it up!! Maikel
I just came from watching someone play Fantasie Impromptu on a marimba now THIS! The percussionists deserve way more spotlight than they get cuz yall are absolutely winning out here!👏🏽👏🏽
That ... was ... UN .. BELIEVABLE! Bravo x 1000 ! Amazing. Not sure if most folks know that the keys on a marimba are graduated in width so playing octaves etc. requires constant adjustment of the 2 mallets. Not to mention the suberb recording of that excellent sounding marimba .. wow. Mallet selection perfect. Fantastic one-handed rolls/trills with .. modified Burton/Musser grip in right hand and Stevens in left? So great. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love how you stepped back on that last note but kept your right foot in place- it's like you are playing a vibraphone and you want the last chord to resonate. Andres, that chord resonated with me and I'm sure it did with everyone watching this. Truly masterful playing!
I don't think I'm overstating it when I say that you are changing the language of the instrument. I'm amazed by every video you post. I wish I were a kid again seeing something like this for the first time. It redefines what's possible. Apparently, everything is. Thanks so much for posting!
Hi! Just finished listening and i have to say, other than the transcription being really, really astonishing, what really swept me off the chair was your technique, being still a student i find this extremely eye-widening to what the so called "skill ceiling" of our instrument is, and wanted to say that even given the extreme difficulty of the piece, your voicing is sublime.
Hi, thanks for your kind comment! Yes this piece seems quite difficult now - however, I'm sure that future generations of marimbists will be eating this for breakfast eventually :)
i never in my life thought la campanella of all pieces would be possible to play on the marimba yet here we are today this is incredible and you have insane talent i applaud you and all your effort :)
Haha I didn't think it would fly either. It's also only barely possible - at least for me. I'm sure other people could pull it off more easily :) Thanks for your kind comment!
That truly sent shivers down my spine! The piece is difficult enough on piano... but on marimba it would surely be ridiculously impossible?!? Wow, what virtuosity!
for the tremolo at the top i found that you can put mallet 3 on top of B but mallet 4 below C and move your arm up and down rapidly for a louder and more clear tremolo.
You are a magician. I love this piece. I can play some Liszt on the piano, but this is still out of my reach. The piano version is one of those uncommon pieces that can bring tears to my eyes. Your performance and feeling did the same.
Wonderful acoustic giving the same effect of piano pedal. The arrangement is very clever, transposed to f minor, keeping the essential of the music while playing at most 4 notes at the same time on an instrument with less notes. I also really like the added ornaments not written in the original, Liszt would like it for sure! The use of the wooden part of the stick gives a clearer sound, I wasn’t expecting this possibility. And the interpretation is also incredible, you are a true musician, not only someone who has good technique!
I just know those one handed chromatics with 3 & 4 were near impossible to do, oh my god... That takes some seriously insane skill. Absolutely amazing.
Astonishing performance, didn't know the marimba could support such difficult pieces like a Liszt-Paganini etude. You absolutely nailed the chromatics and the coda, it sounds so good! You can be proud of this performance 🎉
This is beautiful man hats off to you!!! I’m only confused on the shaft on the bars for just for a couple seconds… bur truly an outstanding job on this I mean it!
socks on carpet to reduce step noise is genius
It also reduces reflection of sound into mics!
@@anderseltenmarimbareflection is cool though
@@zaccsonofjohn1132 That could be! The tonemeister for this recording, however, preferred to avoid it.
En ymmärrä vastausta.
What that mean's?
imagine playing so beautifully you make the piece sound like it was meant to be played on marimba

Thanks for the kind words man!
Beautiful

Yes, same gentleman. And that too was simply impossible. You listen and watch, and it’s still impossible
Same
True that! Watching them focusing on 4 mallets playing on different places on such a huge instrument at the same time, is absolutely breathtaking!
I barely understand the pure clarity and accuracy he has. Amazing job

Incredible arrangement. So technically expressive, with such a high level of musicality. Bravo~
Thank you very much!

I didn't even notice that - but I see your point now! Thanks for your kind comment.
I like his mixtechnique: Stevens on left, traditional on right
Burton grip also gets an honorable mention towards the end of the piece!@@jumisanfe
Always loved hearing this piece on piano. I didn't expect a marimba version to be just as full. Amazing work!
WOW those one handed chromatic runs are incredible!!!

This is incredible ! I'm always amazed to see people pushing the limits of their instrument 🤯🤩

Agreed! All the technique in the world would have limited interest without phrasing and musicality and this has it all
the way he plays so relaxed is magnificent!!
Just superb. Genius in arrangements and playing. God bless you.

Those right hand chops are INSANE!!!!
whoever arranged this is a genius
Woe! What just happened here?! I’d say arguably the finest marimba performance ever! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is insane. how is it even possible on a marimba
those one handed chromatic runs are ridiculous. thank you for sharing

Hmm, a mandolin roll - that's actually a great idea. Adds an extra little theatrical element, too. Nice catch!
After a stressful day this was just what I needed. I feel wonderful.
👏👏👏❤ The part at 4:43, haha love it
Gold medal for you! 🎉

Thanks, that means a lot to me! Truly happy that you enjoyed the piece, even on the marimba!
@@anderseltenmarimba 🥲👍
Crazy good Anders - your playing is something else!!
Thanks Filip, that means a lot especially coming from you!
@@anderseltenmarimba Oh, you are too kind! :) Hope to see you soon!

Liszt was a madman lol
Well done!
I LOVE YOUR PERFOMANCEEEEEEE.
BRAVOOOO
Beautiful.
Those diddles are insane. Nice job!
Thanks a lot!!
That’s amazing! Didn’t know the marimba could be used to play difficult pieces like this one.
Thanks! To be honest, for a long time I didn't think so either :) takes a bit of effort, but its doable!
@@anderseltenmarimba you are very humble, and that makes it double admirable. You are the best, man!
Incredible!
QUELLE PURETÉ CE SON !
ET QUELLE AISANCE !
MERCI ANDERS !
¡Que barbaridad!

How much hours did you had to play so well this piece?
I'm impressed, thank you for your video!
Thanks a lot! I’ll admit to having spent quite a few hours in the practice room with this one 🙈
👏👏👏
It's such a good performance! I'd like to get a sheet music, can I get it?
Definitely, I will make it available soon - if you can't wait, send me an email at Anderskannelten@gmail.com and we figure something out
