A cadenza is a comment on the musical material, in some proportion so it does not blow all that went before it out of the listener's memory! There's nothing wrong with bluegrass or classical (Mark o'Connor anyone?) This guy is a musical travesty as far as his taste goes. Yes, 'taste' is a real requirment of a better musician.
@MuseDuCafe each separate piece of his cadenza is a comment or variation on some part of the Mozart concerto's third movement. Apap is a superb performer, and this is an amazing performance. His taste should not be called into question, as many performers before him have incorporated similar techniques as far as the orchestra joining in during the cadenza.
@MuseDuCafe He's making a statement about how cadenzas are not being played the way that they were meant to be- improvised and unique to every player. Nowadays soloists just use the cadenzas that famous soloists from former eras created and bring nothing new to the performance. And he already has made crossover CDs, because he happens to have studied as a bluegrass violinist and a fiddler, and has combined the two to create a blend of new and old. Why not? He's still respecting the music.
When he started playing the blues this giant smile creeped its way across my face. So much soul in his music. When he started singing I just couldn't have anything but respect for this guy.
What's that lovely lilting jig at about 3 minutes named??
Wonderful stuff mate, and all the better for being impromptu, Tho I can imagine that it must infuriate some people, I'll bet they loved it's sound all the same eh.
Mozart would've been proud, laughing, exctatic of that performance. It's about time performers reclaimed the cadenza for what it was in the past - showing THEIR skill based on the composer's themes...without any limitations!
I can't say it's my favorite interpretation but he has undeniable talent and creativity--definitely an artist; many great players don't have an ounce of creativity so I have to admire that ability
today players practice the same thing over and over like robots to be clean and so on / they hide behind stile because they don't create nothing , they just repeat over and over the same thing for fame ,money ,recordings .........
And as to Mozarts own oppinion, Not that he wouldnt be pretty satisfied that he is a venerated saint in the music world i'm sure that between his own musical joke (which is deliberately theoretical heresy) and his scatalogical poems to his cousin i really think he'd either like it or not care.
so what if it isn't orthodox, there are enough recordings of mozarts own cadenza im quite sure. This is a true cadenza in a purely orthodox sense anyway as it is an improv exhibiting the soloists talents.
Call me a closed-minded douche, but I just find it to be in poor taste... Of course, I also don't like Mozart...
Classical/Fiddle/Irish Jig/Jazz/Gypsy combos have never caught on and gained popularity with a large enough audience to really be considered a musical form. If you aren't a musician, this music really isn't of interest. Lay people don't go out and seek this kind of stuff. Kind of a waste of time...
I would probably agree with you if this really were a "combo". But this is only a cadenza, and the cadenza in a concerto kind of "belongs" to the soloist.
In an interview on NPR, Giles explained that it was Yehudi Menuhin who told him that he should perform his own cadenzas after hearing him improvise like this back in 1996.
Giles has the chops to play classic virtuoso showpieces as well as any of the best out there, and the skill to play standards with a sense of spontaneity that brings life to old standards. Listen to his CD's, and then perhaps you can come to a more informed judgment.
Je ne comprend pas pourquoi la salle n'es pas écroulée de rire ! Moi je ne pourrais pas me retenir ! ^^N'emp^che les enchaînements marchent plutôt bien
He posses more like a musical director, and in that way he keeps totally relaxed even in front of a big audience. As if he is not the main person there.
merveilleux, magnifique, inimitable!!! et dire que je suis censée jouer ce morceau ^^ je commence tout juste à déchiffrer, mais les envolées tzigano/jazzy/country/irlandesques ne sont pas prévues a mon programme.... dommage
He whistles perfectly in tune and with beautiful tone!!!!!!!!! This is one of the most unbelievable videos I have ever seen, It's the best in my favorites
An incredible showman who fully engages his audience. His technical skill is unquestionable but more importantly is his ability to interpret the music. I am most impressed.
amazing how he incorporated his experience in India to this performance, but im sure, as you can see some conservative members of the orchestra, some people are really not in favor of the non-matching style of the cadenza..
i personally like the personality of this guy which is definately part of the music he makes. great job Apap. hope to meet you someday.

Clueless that the music is not about him. More show than art, etc. etc.
I'm sure we'll see him standing in a row with andre rieu sometime soon, crossober albums, and all the rest.
