This performance honors the piece wonderfully.

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

Thank you 😊

[@crinolmusic6890]

Love the way he performed the finale... that slow start like tadaaaaaatadada instead of the usual tadatadada

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

🙏🙏🙏😊😊

[@elson6277]

This guy pratices 40 hours a day.

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

Not really 😁😁 Just 2-4

[@mnmlogic]

@@Hrayrkarapetyan this may be a really past due reply, but "40 hours practice" it's a meme from a famous youtube channel about two violinists doing violin memes. To "practice 40 hours a day" it's a hyperbole created to highlight the dedication that a professional violinist must focus on their daily practice to achieve their level of mastery.
Still 2-4 hours a day is a very dedicated and outstanding level of practice, I am a violinist myself and due to constraints with daily life, I can only ever do 1hr max in a lucky day.
I wish I had the time ,but at least I enjoy whatever I can do.

[@AG-fl3kl]

[@user-rt7ub8fy2k]

Гениальное исполнение! Скрипач - творит! Рояль - оркестр! Как же вы чувствуете друг друга в музыке! Полный восторг! ❤ Спасибо большое! Прослушал нисколько раз.

[@user-ml5ti5mc3o]

This is one good duo for Danse Macabre.
I have viewed on quite a few Danse Macabre duo videos and noted that you emphasized on the tempo towards the ending, it becomes faster and faster and ironically slows down in the last few sections.
This adaptation was quite, I would say, infective, as if the skeletons really wanted to finish the dance before the daybreak.
That is some, in Japanese, "sense of author" I shall say.

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

👍👍😁😁😊😊

[@allan.mp3]

Love the way you feel the Violin. So emotional and powerful ♥

[@BarroqueSpirit]

Son dos genios de la interpretación!!! Bravísimo. Creativos, extremos, dúctiles, elegantes, acompasados, unidos, asombrosos, sorpresas y regalos por todas partes, distintos, verdaderos músicos. Elección de tempi extraordinarios, exquisitos, que van directo al corazón del oyente. Es una versión disfrutada y disfrutable al máximo, extraordinaria y excelente. Gracias!!!!💖💖💖💖

[@Kaletiel]

Whoever says classical music is boring has never heard Danse Macabre or The Rite of Spring.

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

Exactly 😁🤩

[@OxideManganese]

Это уже не классическая музыка. Стравинский это как минимум романтизм.

[@geronimodaloia6143]

Watching that gesture you make at 6:50 has become an addiction

[@selinc.7606]

which arrangement are you guys playing? I really want to play this with my partner

[@chrisvelas3213]

I hate their rubato, but at the same time I love it, Now Idk what to think about this interpretation lmao.

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😁😁😁

[@112purplepanda]

Love the piece but he overly exaggerates everything. His sound suffers a lot. Becomes almost metallic in some parts. His sweet expressive parts are great but it just didn’t feel cohesive. The rooster call at the end was so aggressive it killed the moment for me.

[@Hrayrkarapetyan]

Thanks for your opinion 😊

[@tharnautu]

where can I find the sheet for this arrangement?
I WOULD PAY FOR IT!!!

[@jitkalacmanova760]

Take me email adress, I have violin part 💛

[@jeltevanputten901]

He is great but I don’t like the way he plays it

[@guillermonavarro5271]

Wonderful!
