ультра халтура

Not sure if it's the conductor or just the whole orchestra, but the whole thing sounds lackluster for about the first minute.  THEN, notice how Lakatos simply takes control: he walks out to the front, turns his fiddle toward the orchestra, and plays with authORity. The whole tone changes and it becomes wonderful.

crap conductor :/

[korontai]

Wonderful, Bravo!

I do realize there is a place for written music and I'm not any way saying that because you have to play in an orchestra to make ends meet makes you lack soul. I know there's some times you have to subjugate your own interpretation to that of the conducter and your fellow musicians. Just wanted to try and clarify that. Personally, I play fiddle on the streets of seattle for tips. I play fiddle tunes, jazz tunes and a fair amount of Jimmy Hendrix on the streets, so most of what I do is improv.

@jjrex22

Roby Lacatos knows well how to improvize! :)

Just watch this: Roby Lakatos-Minor Swing

and you will understand what I'm talking about

[jjrex22]

Hello Ned. Roby Lakatos definitely ranks top 5 of my favorite fiddlers for many, many many reasons. I posted my response to counter the responses I've read that take exception to Roby's playing of Gypsy Airs primarily based upon perception of many in the classical community that you shouldn't improvise with the classics. I'm not trying to offend any fiddlers by saying they don't have soul. But I will say Roby has soul, and I wish soul to be on par with technique in what's taught in classical.

Fantasztikusan jó!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Josefowiczfan]

The orchestra has to be really fast with th upbeats haha ;)

He plays so fast :D

[jjrex22]

P.S. I feel sorry to for the musicians who confine their artistic expression to notes that are on paper

[666NedFlanders]

@jjrex22 Roby lakatos has quite a few albums.... He also descends from a family of violinists which draw their lineage back to some key points of hungarian musical history/institutions. He does improve and composition.

[jjrex22]

Have to respond to "rule" about no improvisation in classical music. Did you know Sarasate along w. many 19th century violinists to include Paganini were brilliant improvisers? Plus how do you know how Sarasate played gypsy airs? Did you ever hear him play in his prime? If so your the oldest living human. Purists bother me a little. In music there's room for all kinds. Listen to menuhin if you don't like improv. Lakatos has something many classical violinists don't have. Thats soul.

[violonistchris]

@jjrex22 i think there is a very very old recording here on youtube of sarasate himsellf playing it

[666NedFlanders]

@jjrex22 There is no rule about not improvising in classical music. A lot of concerto provide ample opprotunity to improvise. It is just a matter of ignoring a solo written by some one like Eugene Ysaye and coming up with your own. The issue is not just a matter of improvisition though. The solos have become so popular, people who listen to the music expect to hear those solos in classical music. Musicians typically don't make very much so must cater to the desires of those willing to pay them.

[666NedFlanders]

It is a bit insulting to say a violinist does not have soul though because they show up to a job and do as they are told. One must draw a line between improvising to express yourself for entertainment and providing for ones self. There is realistically only so much lime light to go around which means the vast majority of violinists are paid with the expectation of never performing a solo, let alone being a featured artist. Such a problem has always been a problem in the fine arts.

[Flaminggential]

hm..interesting how his bow is so vertical...nonetheless, really amazing!

[Kissugole]

nekem azert tetszik ,mert nem az o elotte mar nagy muveszek altal eloadott stylust kovette,azokat kopizva, hanem megmaradva a klaszikus keretek kozott az egyeni erzelem vilag es eloadas mod bontakozik ki,,,,szeretnem hangsulyozni hogy robyt itt nem 'csak; egy cigany primasnak kell tekinteni,hanem a zenei muvesz vilag dobbenetesen kiemelkedo, a xxi szazad egyik legnagyobb muzsikusanak meltan buszkek lehetunk ra ,,,,,,,,,az isten aldjon meg teged es csaladodat tovabbra is

[bizalom77]

Gyönyörű zene!

[gaswmskkorymva]

In fact you can improv if you want in everything you play.... There're no rules that prohibit improvisations...

[chichibobbytam]

Roby Lakatos plays very well, but the conducter conducts badly.

[ioZuC]

@carloslaran true but anyway should be played (as Sarasate did) with the perfection of classical music, that's what I'm saying

[ioZuC]

Much better when he plays his own gypsy music.

[CB1VERDI]

@ioZuC I can assure you that he is an all round vioilist and Menuhin himself set : My freind; I am not able to play what you are doing !!!

[ioZuC]

@CB1VERDI

come on... listen to the last part, this is one of the worst version of Ziguener by Sarazate I ever heard performed by a pro.

Lakatos is a real genius when he plays gypsy music and jazz too but he's the real demostration that you don't need to study classical music to become a great musician.

[carloslaran]

@ioZuC yeah but this piece by sarasate can be considered gypsy and u can put improvs in it since after all the name says it ,gypsy-airs.

[hubermanviolin]

@ioZuC agree with u!!!

[clavc50]

magnifique ! ! !

[mrsherifa]
