Marc Rougier's insight:

Only 3 strings!?! And a bit of talent... Awesome.

I like how local, traditional instruments can give birth to universal, modern musics. Listen also to this other piece (less poetic, more energetic).

Marc Rougier's insight:

I love the accuracy of Leonid Kogan's bow strokes. I like his eyes, his concentration; makes me think of an actor. Super dense but also not showing emotion. Great piece too.

Marc Rougier's insight:

My mind is blown.

The genius of Da Vinci; everybody knows he is a genius, one of the few universally recognized geniuses; yet, are we ready to discover more from him?

The skill, patience and dertermination of this visionary musician who brought Da Vinci's plan to life 500 hundred years later!

And it works! It does sound both weird and nice. Ok the chosen pieces are not all that great, but Marin Marais sounds perfect. This wacky piece of art needs to be seen and heard.

Scooped in Violins because Viola belongs to the family (granted, this viola organista is a fairly remote cousin).

Marc Rougier's insight:

This video is 38 minutes long: too much for a post. But Tchaikovsky's concerto deserves it :) Violinist is Sayaka Shoji. I might prefer versions which are a bit more "violent", but this one is full of emotion. And well fimed too.

Via Gregory Herbé

(edited) Here is a take by super master Heifetz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fCuMFGVwhc. And Heifetz being Heifetz, it's 7 minutes shorter. On fire! :)

Marylene Delbourg-Delphis's comment, September 21, 2013 5:59 PM

Thanks! I still prefer Heifetz and Perlman.

Marc Rougier's comment, September 21, 2013 7:28 PM

Totally agree. I added a link to one of Heifetz performance of same. Thanks Marylene.

@jibees: there migh be a little step, as opposed to, say, http://sco.lt/4ui27t. But once you are in, you cannot get out (I have his CD if you want to travel a bit ;-))

After Balalaika re-invented, another amazing pieces based on mixing modern music with traditional instrument (and yes, the Urdy Gurdy is a brother of the violin). The modern style starts at around 2 min. By Guilhem Desq.
