Fantastic! We need more music and less war.
So tragic he is no longer with us.

[@nigelhart3897]

Sadly i never had the privilege of seeing this amazing artiste perform live.

[@user-vr4eg1cq8c]

С при великим удовольствием слушаю музыку в исполнении этого Музыканта. Спасибо что ты был, вечная тебе память.

[@user-td8cx7lr9i]

Первый раз слышу этого баяниста. Прекрасное исполнение, классный штрих в лучших традициях баянного искусства. Что могу сказать. Брависсимо!!!

[@rickbullock4331]

Wow! Wow! I can only imagine the brilliant mind behind the playing of that instrument and the piece that was chosen to play. The hours and hours of training and practice must be mind boggling. That instrument alone is a masterpiece to me. I love the sound of an accordion when it’s well played but this instrument is leaps and bounds ahead of any I’ve ever seen. Well done sir and the orchestral accompaniment too.👍👍🇨🇦

[@user-es5yq9cv5p]

Жаль , что такого выдающегося Мастера не оценили на Родине !

[@leonidmartysh3098]

Юрий Василевич, Саша уехал не потому, что его не оценили, а потому, что ему предложили в Канаде достаточно интересную работу в ансамбле.

[@TemkaAkko]

лучшее исполнение, что я слышал...

Amazing show tonight in Peterborough, Ontario!!! A very talented amazingly coordinated man;)

[@bayanjim]

A wonderful Bayanist who left many years ago! He died, playing in Mexico, as I remembered.

[@ybrjkfq31]

Великолепное исполнение!!! Спасибо! Николай.

[@RainerLienert]

Great performance! Starting up kind of nice, but seen before and directly becomes lifted to another level and still raising like a rocket. Very interesting performance with great skills of Alexander playing his accordeon!

[@laChabela42]

Oh my gosh how great is he!! Excelente! Bravisimo!! Me encanta la musica Rusa.
Me da tanta alegria!!

[@jacquesbensimon6509]

Por supuesto, era música Alemana en este caso 😉, tocada por un gran maestro de l'acordeón Ruso (que llaman "bayan").

[@user-es5yq9cv5p]

Потрясающее мастерство !!!

[@RedLP5000S]

Alexander owned that entire auditorium. What a supremely talented virtuoso. ✌🏻🇺🇸

[@TerryMeisinger]

Bravo- what a workout - the kids fingers were doing a straight ahead sprint during a marathon. My fingers got tired just watching-never the less a magnificent performance.

[@laurencelaporte6953]

Excellentissime Alexander. Bravo.

[@konigstephan]

From 3:13 on - this-is-just-INSANE :-)))
Bravo Maestro Sevastian!

[@NilsVainio]

Very Good :)

[@unselfcontrol]

Oh this russian... Russian culture is the best !

[@oleksandrblonsky548]

This very piece is not Russian but Ukrainian. It's variations on the Ukrainian folk song "A Kossak Went over the Danube."

[@schimansky45]

super!!

[@musamor75]

Bravo ! Great performance. These are the classic Gridin variations I believe. This is a Ukrainian them ; it must be very old, because Ludwig von Beethoven wrote variations on it ("Variations on a Ukrainian theme" A minor). The Russian bayan school is the finest in the world. It's a terrible tragedy that happened to Russia.

[@abz124816]

I am out of breath just listening

[@rizhik1]

Sasha is from Minsk, rebyata!

[@Szekszkazan]

These are the Gridin-variations. Nobody wrote it's all.

[@helen-vb6kw]

How sad he died so young ☦️

[@user-cw3px9eb2v]

Вот это Русская школа, понятно вам!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hilbertdevries]

beautifull, but I'm hearing another accordeon also playing from 0.38 -0.57 was Alexander dubbing here? or there was another instrument that playing accords ??

[@hilbertdevries]

how could I doubt it on a better computer I could see him playing it by himselve between the melodyline,
love your musik Alexander, often faster then the eye can see.

[@2801TATO]

EXCELENTE!!!!!! qué instrumentos son los que están detrás Alexander, y las pequeñas guitarras en forma de triángulo?

[@jacquesbensimon6509]

¿Balaika?

[@jacquesbensimon6509]

Sorry, typo: it's balalaika.

[@user-ns3og1qm1p]

Порвал сцену... злодей!..

[@TM0GHOST0HUNTER]

It's not all variations

[@eliwah2]

What’s 2:08 - 2:22?

[@hansstopfer872]

Währe schon wenn in Deutschland dem Akkordeon der gleiche Stellenwert zukäme, wie in Rußland dem Bayan. Bye Hans.

[@TM0GHOST0HUNTER]
