    Bravo Konstantinos! Truly wonderful. Sorry it took me so long to hear this. It is so nice to hear it played with such vigor, at a professional level, and with all the right notes! What a pleasure. Thank you.

      Paul Smadbeck, holy-cow it's you! I am going to pay even more attention to the above rendition, for honing this great piece of music I am working on, knowing that you endorse it.

    I wish all marimba solos were recorded this well. Excellent audio, stunning cinematography, and of course incredible playing. Great choice of mallets for this piece.

    One of the best marimba recordings on youtube.

    forget Bulooka. It amazes me how something this challenging/technical/beautiful can be uploaded, and yet people STILL have the nerve to go out of their way to put it down rather than lift it up. This is phenomenal dude.

    Such a good performance! I love the enthusiasm with which you played this. This was one of the first marimba solos that I ever heard, and your performance of this made me fall in love with four-mallet immediately. Great job!

    Hi Jonathan, thanks for asking, I used Resta mallets, Jean-Geoffroy model BLUE, they are a bit heavier that usual but really give you this deep sound and presence

    I'm playing this solo for my audition and i was wondering the mallet model that you are using. If anybody knows please tell me.

    • @simonzakrisson
      @simonzakrisson 9 лет назад +1

      BlueEplosion They look like Resta Jay mallets, Jean Geoffroy's signatures, (blue colour, medium-soft). I use them myself.

  • @YANFRASIER
    @YANFRASIER 12 лет назад +1

    Absolutely Stunning... I plan on playing this for my solo this year and I hope to someday play it as well as you. What kind mallets are you using?

  • @AustinCernosek
    @AustinCernosek 12 лет назад +1

    Hey great job! Love the video quality. Very crisp, clear sound. My only advice is to take the slow section (with the five-lets) slower! That section would be much more emotional and beautiful (not that it isn't already). Love the work!

    @rhode3806 11 лет назад

    I played this back in high school and I love it but I always took it slower than this, however this sounds amazing. Makes me want to play it again. You're awesome. :)

    woooaaahhh, maybe just a little fast on the tempo there. That being said, you nailed every single note and every single dynamic. Props where props are due. I just would have liked to see some more emotion invested in the piece in terms of tempo. Some parts are supposed to be fast, but some parts are supposed to be slower so we can really feel what [I at least feel] Paul is trying to say...
    Again tho, absolutely nailed the technical aspects.
    However, in my opinion, this is definitely one of the best recordings of Virginia Tate on RUclips.

    • @kywindage1371
      @kywindage1371 9 лет назад +1

      The beginning could have been more rubato in my opinion but I like his interpretation it's more "busy" you could say
