A bit perfect for an unplugged audition, and where did the electronic percussion track come from? but I'd still give it 9/10 for entertainment value.....the full 10 points if they had done some mud wrestling after.....lmao
i have been a bond fan for some time but i actually prefer to watch escala performing live. bond are wonderful musicians but escala are somehow fresher, sweeter and more engaging on stage. i don't agree at all that they imitate bond. every string quartet will be similar to some degree and trust me there are A LOT out them out there but if you watch them both live u immediately see the difference!
I play the violin and this is so good it's depressing. I mean, I could play my whole life and never be that good!! I'm happy they decided to audition, they have some serious talent. Good for them!
The quartet changed their name from Scala to Escala during Britain's Got Talent after it was discovered that there was already a Belgian choir using the name Scala - Scala & Kolacny Brothers. They changed the name to Escala after EMI threatened to sue, despite having used the name Scala for two years.[6] After the show they put a lower case 'e' on the beginning to eScala but have since then reverted to Escala.
First of all, Bond is the first and obviously, better string quartet compared to these stiff rip-offs. Second, one of the reasons why Simon said what he did is because he has no idea what true classical music is and how f***ing easy this piece is for any professional instrumentalist (as it is for this 'talented' foursome). He is not familiar with the standards and the technicality of this genre. Therefore, to avoid making a fool of himself, he gives positive comments. So whatever...
I am surprised that someone did not point out to normanbatesrocks that there is an Escala web page. Should you take the time to read the extraordinary musical background of these women on the page. you could hardly describe these women as anything other than amazing. Simon Cowell had it right when he described these women, as great representatives, they are not just beautiful but extremely accomplished. Just had to put this in the pot, I am a huge fan of Escala (can you tell)
I know 8 year olds who can play this - seriously! It's a really easy tune to play. I worked this out last night in like 30 seconds I'm not kidding! They REALLY aren't that good. To people that don't play musical instruments this automatically sounds amazing, but trust me it's not. And I'm not being a sour grapes. I'm telling the ABSOLUTE HONEST truth. Just cos Simon's saying it's amazing.
I agree...their good looks mixed with "non extraordinary" talent means people think they're godly. The style in which they choose to play it with the accompanying track adds a lot, buuuuuuut there are loads of high school string players that are just as good, if not better.
loads of high school string players ye good coz i play violin but not betta than escala it will take practice and lots of it but some ppl dunno how to tune a violin let alone play 1
yeah its not the hardest piece but that doesnt matter - think of songs that are in the charts, the singing ability and song difficulty isnt amazing, but because the artist has stage presence, it works. and that what they work on here (:
Those that do not know and really want to find out about the qualifications of these beautiful and talented women. Simply go to their web site. It should make those with negative comments ashamed of themselves. If that is possible. Oh yes one must be able to read.
They have a drumbeat on some kind of synthesizer. The tune sounds like one from an old jewelry commercial, to resemble Vivaldi. It became a rather simply junior high school performance piece in the US. Its fairly simple to play. The instruments are fairly expensive. The whole thing is more an effect rather than a really musical performance.
"famous" choir? You mean a little known belgium female voice choir? I think EMI will wish that they had kept their noses out, because Escala will be bigger than Scala.
ok maybe violinists arent unique but neither are male trebles like andrew johnston go to any catherderal choir and they will have a boy with that vocalability or better
They did a great job, but the thing I love best is the music. My friend told me about Bond and I didn't like their musical pieces so while they maybe as good or better, for me it's all about the music being played.
I dont think you girls relise just how big you are going to be! Once a recording deal is made, which wont be long, you will be chart toppers without fail. Cant wait to buy your first single.
they was awesone , Andrew was awesome and jin was awesome not to mention the Contortionist and this was only the first episode, Britain has got tallent
brilliant, hearing a refreshing change from everyday sounds is pleasing, however, cast your mind back to 2000 and listen to "bond" another all girl group dedicated to up tempo classics for something just as good.

Well, still.
I think that's kind of the smart part of it.
It's not an amazingly hard piece to play, but at the same time, it's really stage worthy.
Plus, these girls have a lot of stage presence with them.
Besides, who said a piece had to be hard for it to sound good?
And I think they prove themselves during the second round anyway.
