I love how people just walk by as a violinist plays one of the greatest pieces ever composed for the solo violin and have no idea: 1. how beautiful of a piece this is 2. how difficult it is to play this 3. how talented this guy is.
Crazy to see all the people just walk past, oblivious to the nearly flawless performance of one of the most difficult and sublime pieces for solo violin ever composed
It just goes to show how disconnected we have become from true music, art, beauty & genius as most just walk by. It is one of the greatest human creations of all time across any field. Yet it does require sustained attention to truly appreciate it's structure, recurring themes & journey through so many emotions. Bach had come home from a trip only to discover his wife was dead & buried. I've been lucky to hear this live in a concert room but it would be so special to also hear it unexpectedly on the streets away from the pedestal. While everyone else is attracted to the loudest speaker, I will be there with a few special others revelling in the glory of this divine creation!
Respect! Solid techniques, very fine performing especially disruptions on the street and still able to maintain those details and transitions between notes. The intonation is perfect and is definitely world class level. We need more of these musician on the street❤ I would have tip in €50 notes if I was there. Very touching
"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind." - Johannes Brahms about Bach's Chaconne
And then, of course, he sat down and transcribed it (magnificently) for piano, for which all of us pianists are profoundly grateful. For those who can pass this by without a pause, I weep.
I can't even begin to get across how difficult this piece is. The violin is never comfortable to play as multiple strings, chords are broken and awkward to get to and with an acoustic violin the chance of crunching this high chords is huge but histone was sweet and light and then heavy and back to light. My chaconne is a shade of this one. I'm jealous in the nicest way possible.
Yeah id have tipped 100. I hope this dude found big work with an orchestral lead. Rushed in a couple of parts (reference Hillary Hahns interp.) but as a whole would bring a tear to any eye that felt the piece
European civiization died. The violinist had to be surrounded with a croud of listeners! A'm shocked! Nobody but one gave him money!!! Thanks, Artiom, your performance is wonderful.
Actually Europe is the same as ever. Classical music in the past was meant to be enjoyed by the select few, not the mass. It's exactly the same nowadays. Not everyone is capable to enjoy 15 minutes of music, even the most beautiful, just like not everyone is capable of sitting through a 4 hours epic movie.
@@peteroreilly8060 wtf is "pure music and art"? All of it is derivative of something else, and is largely subjective to the eye/ear of the beholder. Also, it's pretty shallow and ignorant to dismissively generalize per generational divides, as I and many people I know - who are part of those "two generations" you're so dismissive about - are well familiar with this music and appreciate it as much as anyone else.
Ich bewundere es, wie dieser Geiger (ein Musikstudent in einer Meisterklasse?) sich nicht vn den Geräuschen der Umgebung ablenken lässt. Schade nur, dass die Leute, die hier vorbei gehen, alle keine Zeit zu haben scheinen, und nicht länger zuhören. Wäre ich da gewesen und hätte die Zeit und Gelegenheit dazu gehabt, hätte ich diesem Geiger stundenlang zuhören können. Wirklich gut gemacht!
People can be busy and have deadlines, I would’ve liked to have stopped to listen to many when I visited Paris, I saw one girl setting up every day but never saw her play, I gave her a metro pass 😃
This man seems to me a light in the darkness, his notes illuminating the streets around him with music masterfully wrought. May he continue to be a sound rising above the noise of life, lifting all those who will listen to a place of solace, if only for the seemingly temporary duration of this masterpiece.
Those street players are as good even better than the big masters , and the new generation is putting all the past generation down. People pass like nothing is happening and he is playing the most monumental work in the music world and playing it well. The street musicians love to go to underground tunnels , the acoustics are great there. Yes street but he must be a top player in the Conservatory. Bravo , bravo , bravo ......
Most of the walk by's have their eyes drawn to the money in his case, not the performer himself playing arguably the greatest piece of music ever written
All these m effin narcissists walking by as the dude his heart on the prima violin piece ever written,,, Bach ciaconna!!!! Shame on this self absorbed world!!!! Bravo my parisienne violinist Bravo!!!!!
Respekt vor den technischen Gegebenheiten. Man könnte meinen, die Geige solle zersägt werden! Zum Glück ist, die Art zu spielen, sehr filigran geworden! NAMASTE!!!!!!!
There's no reason to think you can't if you can play the violin- and if you can't play the violin yet, well we all started at that point too! Artiom is an average good player but more than that he's just someone who loves to play the violin. He started out not knowing how to play it same as anyone else, right? He still has a "day job", or he did when this was made, just FYI.
electronic violin ameteur: plays pop songs with minimum skills people: stop to watch, give money, post on social media Violinist: plays one of the greatest solos people:
Qué hermosura. Si bien, me recuerda al estilo Itzhak Perlman (versión que más me gustó junto con la de Ivry Gitlis), podría tocarla tranquilamente en un teatro! Muy bueno.
Stop the comments about giving money. This piece deserves to be listened to without paying anything. The woman who gave money just left so it is disrespectful. And the performance is great. Maybe a small reason that some people don't want to stand and listen is because they feel they are required to pay.
I've been a street musician for many years. Artists need to pay their bills somehow and if money isn't coming in the case we're not going to be out there playing.
whoever this person is. this is a great piece played well. to think this is in some street somewhere. probably the best violin piece ever written. this piece by Bach is not recommended for beginners or anyone who is not very familiar with classical music.
minutes 2-4 are some of the most tonic notes that I have ever heard. belated uncapitalized bravo to this comrade; kidnap him and get him of DC streets... wow to it all too, boo who @ 8...
A few notes: 1. He's not overdoing vibrato, like many overdo it, and it sounds great! 2. Flawless intonation. 3. More legato than my taste, but great nonetheless. 4. Shaking his right wrist when done reminds me of when I was working on it. Hard on the wrist to keep going non-stop by yourself. 5. How does he memorize the whole thing? I could only get down about 2 pages.
As chaconne is one of my favourites, best one is played by hilary hahn and then this guy has played marvellously there was some glitch(well thats bcoz he is playing outside ) . Altast , i would say BRAVO!!!
He is really good. at 5:10 he even plays those little grace (or pickup?) notes. Why isn't he auditioning for the Paris Symphony Orchestra or something?
Don't think so. You don't have to be famous to play the Chaconne. But this guy, whoever he is, he does play it extremely well. I wish he was indoors somewhere with better sound.
If I hear this on the street, I don't think I would be able to continue on my way.
I think we would listen together... even if i would miss my train. This deserves a better audience.
@@fredh1900 The Chaconne is all about expression, so playing it rough like this guy, just makes it more beautiful.
neither would I.
It. So. Wonderful. I. Alwaise. Very. Praud. Of. This. Person. Who. Don. T. Afraed. Nothing. And. Play.....
I would sit and meditate or break out in a fevered dance.🧚👁️🤯🧚🥳

On a random day, while walking through a random street, hearing Chaconne with such a great performance.. I'd feel blessed as i never felt before..

Parisians should be proud of having such a great violinist. It is he that honors the city.
He's russian

there is no way this is just some street violinist. he's playing at a professional level and he plays this very difficult piece almost perfectly

philosophic notes that words cannot describe.
This is an amazing performance !😍
Poor people who don’t know this masterpiece!!!😢
Pretty funny, this is not a "street violinist" it's Artiom Shishkov, a well known Russian-born virtuoso. Terrific performance by the way.
And he is at Place des Vosges, Paris.
Not "russian-born", he's belarusian violinist (Belarus is not Russia!)))
Well he might not be a "street violinist" but as far as I can see he plays on the street!!! Where I live street musicians are forbidden!
his bow arm was way too good for a "street gypsy"
I was pretty sure that wasn't the tone of an amateur regular street violinist
I can't even begin to get across how difficult this piece is. The violin is never comfortable to play as multiple strings, chords are broken and awkward to get to and with an acoustic violin the chance of crunching this high chords is huge but histone was sweet and light and then heavy and back to light.

The purest music ever composed, polyphonic writing on just one instrument, praise Bach and this musician for his respectful playing

Excellent performance. What a gift for the passers-by!
He is no 'street violinist' but, obviously, a 1st class one who 'knows the score'! I'll bet my neck on that.
Very good!
Sokakta klasik müzik şöleni. Yanında durup dinlemek isterdim. Kemancı gence saygılar.
practicing on the street is a good way to hone your concentration skills & audience communication skills.
What an incredible player. I would pay thousands to watch this man perform.
Bravo!!! one of the most difficult pieces for violin ... I love you, boy ...
wow this is honestly a better rendition of the Chaconne than I've seen in concert halls
Artiom Shishkov is the violinist. credits to tomboyer5608 for discovering this
Вот этот малый немало удивил феноменальным звучанием..далеко не уличным - браво !!! Молодца !!!
if he played despacito he will got huge attention

One of the most demanding pieces in history and some people just walk by. That's really a sign of ignorance.
Nico Kresse Indeed! Today People mostly listen to trash music like the so called "Pop music"
Jonathan Di Fiore whatever they like. Trying to tell people that some music is 'bad' is probably more ignorant.
Menno Barten No...really, there are actual standards. Some things really are great and some things are crap. It’s the nature of reality.

Great!!!
I wish more people have heard this
Excellent, very natural and pure , God Bless Him
This is so good. I hope I can play at this level one day and perform on the streets ;-;
May I correct myself,,, this dude plays his heart out!!!!
Какие равнодушные люди....таку ю музыку я могу слушать часами, а парень хорошо играет...
Great performance! Its Artem Shishkov, a famous Soviet violinist..
Had friends who would busk in Powell station in SF. About the same level of engagement from passers by.
Most of the walk by's have their eyes drawn to the money in his case, not the performer himself playing arguably the greatest piece of music ever written

A great performance!
Imagine hearing this masterpiece and just walking by... What a shame
it's beautiful! would want to hear this in person! xx
jesus christ that was good
Bravissimo. You r such an inspiration ;) True musician.Thankx so much for sharing your great talent.
