Igudesman’s “Crazy World of Violin Playing”

by admin on December 2, 2009

This is the first in a series of road movies Aleksey Igudesman has started to make. It features Julian Rachlin, Maxim Vengerov, Nicola Benedetti, Pavel Vernikov and his humble self on the piano, an instrument he can not play to save his life.
On the whole it displays quite acurately how weird violinists really are.

Duration : 0:4:40

How hard would it be to begin playing the Violin, again?

Thank you SO MUCH …
Thank you SO MUCH for putting all your videos in English. I really appreciate it. I’m argentinian and my mother tongue is Spanish, but I’ve studied English my whole life. I’m a teenager but I would love to travel and watch your shows. Your creations are so amazing! Have you ever seen “Les luthiers”? They perform a different type of show, but you still are so similar. Keep it fresh, keep it crazy as it is, you are great!

the last few lines were amusing.

AND YOU NEED SOME SELF CONFIDENCE! You’re almost as bad as me!

For some people, being a world class musician, amazing composer and fantastic musical comedian just isn’t enough…

aww poor igudesman …
aww poor igudesman getting attacked by huge giant animals. if i could i’d jump in front of you in slow motion screaming “nooooo!” if i could. LOL, and falling off the piano like that!? You must have been really into playing to do that! And I think your piano skills are great even if you don’t think so. I’m glad you showed the world how goofy violinists can be. :P
