- A native of San Fernando di Puglia, Italy, he began to play the mandolin at the age of five. Just before the turn of the century he won an international competition, which took him on a tour of European cities. In 1900 he performed in England and decided to stay for three years. He dazzled the Sultan of Turkey and was made a royal musician for seven months in the year 1903. Among his patrons were Kaiser Wilhelm (Germany) and Czar Nicholas (Russia). He moved to the U.S. and appeared on early radio, in vaudeville and Broadway shows. He appeared in productions of the Metropolitan Opera and composed for the mandolin and orchestra. In the eighth edition of George Whites Scandals (1926) Mr. De Pace shared the bill with Broadway veterans Ann Pennington, Frances Williams, Harry Richman and Willie & Eugene Howard. When Mr. De Pace died in New York in June 1966, six children and thirteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren survived him. One of his grandchildren, Bobby, is a composer, lyricist and leader of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). A requiem mass was held for Bernardo De Pace at St. Jeromes Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Saturday, June 18, 1966. Selections: Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna overture (Franz von Suppe); Souvenir (Franz Drdla); Humoresque (Anton Dvorak); Thats Why I Love You (Walter Donaldson, Paul Ash) interpolating Sweethearts (Victor Herbert. Robert B. Smith); Irish Jig; Belle Nuit, O Nuit dAmour (a.k.a. Barcarolle) from Tales of Hoffman (Jacques Offenbach, 1881). This is the earliest known motion picture of virtuoso Bernardo De Pace, The Wizard of The Mandolin, released February, 1927. He subsequently appeared in at least two other films shorts for different studios.
I absolutely love this. I play mandolin and really needed to see this. He plays effortlessly.
His camp performance style is captured in a Warner Bros. Vitaphone short from 1927 (Bernado [sic] de Pace: The Wizard of the Mandolin) which was released on DVD in 2007 as part of The Jazz Singer deluxe edition, and two MGM shorts from 1929. He also released a series of recordings ranging from light classical pieces to original compositions in traditional Italian style.
Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

God nooo xE
😅
Absolutly mindblowing!!
I'm impressed that he can do that without having any kind of a strap for the mandolin.
He probably practices every day for 8 hours ever since he was three. Most of those geniuses do and that's why they are so awesome.
De Pace won an international mandolin contest at the age of 11, and as his grandson Bobby De Pace later put it, "From 11 to 17, he played for kings and queens." [1] For many years, de Pace was mandolin soloist at the Metropolitan Opera in addition to his star turns on the vaudeville stage.
Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.
I first saw this as a special feature on the jazz singer DVD set. This, along with a burns and Allen short, are by far the best Vitaphone shorts! I wish it was released in hi-def or better yet 4k. He made it look so easy!
Amazing What a Find Beautiful 😍
Great post! Another example of why youtube is so great, capturing historical performances for the world to enjoy.
Beautiful playing - a true virtuoso.
If only I'd started playing when I was 5...... No, I could have started the day I was born and practised 12 hours every day of my life and I still wouldn't be that good. :-)

Billed !? CRIMONY !! They should have paid him instead.

Thank you very much for this amazing video !

Wow.. yesterday I saw Roy Clark and now I see this amazing Shredder.. tomorrow we'll see who else 😀
It's crazy how fast and precise his playing is on a double stringed instrument, not to mention how high the tension on the strings must've been compared to, say, a comfy Ibanez guitar.
Bernado was no clown on the mandolin. Stunning virtuosity and considerable charm. Wonderful upload, my thanks to you.

Become amazing at mandolin over a century ago: become world famous, play for world leaders, get on radio shows and stuff
Become amazing at mandolin today: play on the streets for some tips, maybe get some views on RUclips.

Check out bluegrass players, they do alright.
My first tattoo has two meanings behind it. One is a tribute to Jeff Austin, his version of No Expectations is exceptional
He's dressed like a clown, but he makes us look like clowns! 😁
Mandolin Maestro
Heel fascinerend ....
He broke a string... Did he fix it that quicky and continue playing?!? Amazing!
Well, mandolins have 4 pairs of strings, and each pair is tuned in a note. I think he just removed the broken string. With one string of the pair, you can still play the same notes with the same fingerings.
@@CarlosGonzalez-mp9re but that would be tough to do tremolos on that
As we say in Los Angeles, "I could do that... if I wanted to." As Jethro used to say, "There's no such thing as a bad gig." But, I will not dress like that unless there is serious money offered. Apollon was great too.
Wonderful -- is he playing a Lyon-Healy?
yes circa 1920's
Teach me, Master
what piece is he playing?
how could one string break after 7:06 ?
the name of the 1st piece ???
What song is he playing.
Ragioniere, la smetta con quel mandolino. (Filini)
@NickRatnieks Looking at the headstock, my guess is a Lyon and Healy.
if anyone know,is this his own composition?plz if someone can link more videos of him,it would be great,thnx in advance!!!
qualcuno per favore può dirmi il titolo esatto dell'ultimo brano suonato
And, look, Ma, no strap!
people think that Eddie Van Halen invented shredding... people are ignorant of basic human history lol

Anybody know the type of mandolin? I see it has a flat back- not a bowl.

This guy plays better than Page.
First rate playing by a guy who obviously
doesn't take himself too seriously.
No! Elvis!
Creepy
