amazing violin

[fendimarcus]

hadijer...thank you for uploading this but every time someone mentions he is Palestinian you take down their comment. Now i have researched it and they are right, he is a Palestinian who grew up in Lebanon. People are entitled to the truth and i wish you maintain an intellectual honesty on your post and let things be as they are. Thanks again.

[jhamelaa]

fancy stuff ... average at the best

[gerardarker1]

cool xd

[everbanker110]

This video just gave me a seizure.

[SinyoR1000hp]

Thank from Thailand

[joethemusician]

@60ringman as both a performing musician (orchestral) and teaching musician (university) I have to say that by no means is this terrible, but by no means is this perfection. There are hundreds, if not thousands of more qualified and more successful violinists out there (Let alone the other instruments of the orchestra). to each their own, but please at least search " Midori Sarasate" on youtube. I'm not hating, but open your eyes to the truly remarkable people out there! This is mediocre!

[luis241661]

I do not know what is going on, but dammit I got up and DANCED!

[dulcehenna]

king of violin

[SHAOLINSINZ]

If this guy is not ghost playing this is probably one of the tightest piece of violin work i've heard in a long while...Really fast too.

[clarissrinivas]

i think he is a ghot player of violin

[MSBennett88]

true...tis epic!

[Cheezynoob16]

epic violin guy :P

[pkjqmcguire]

this is a piece of hot trash.

[chazyfm]

The director should be shot!

[parmis17]

@chazyfm lol, I just wanted to leave a comment saying this is a great example of how the right way to do "editing" is so important. He switches to other shots sooo fast, it's giving me an eye ache and the woman dancer is driving me insane. It sucks because it's a beautiful piece but ruined by this video.

[chazyfm]

@parmis17 Exactly right!

[bbbbbbbjjjj]

he's lebanese

[bbbbbbbjjjj]

he's leb

[darkqasim]

If they didn't fire the camera crew after this......

[10p6]

It's pretty good, but just a copy of stuff we seen before. In another ten years we will see it again when they have cameras that do 30 FPS.

[AHmed9599]

to be completely honest i can see that he has technique and that he has practised like hell ever since he was six years old,but for me he isnt much in comparison to perlman or vengerov i just dont see the love or a decent interpretation he still has a long way to go before playing with passion,and hes too full of himself to be quite honest !

[LunaWolf64]

Wow.

[brethomuel786]

Pure talent!  A very well job done! Greetings from the United States.

[chalakias]

one of the best violin player, well done my friend....greetings from Greece..!!!!

[irisheyes1963]

WHO ARE THE SAD BASTARDS THAT DONT LIKE THIS!!! i AM AN IRISH FAN OF ARABIC MUSIC AND THIS IS BRILLANT

[adidastm11]

AWESOME (speechless....)



[greyl89]

FUCK THIS RIDICULOUS CAMERA WORK!!!!!!!!!!

[datravelers]

dont think im rude.. but are you sure thts a violin? he never goes on the Estring, and it looks like he doesnt even HAVE an Estring... hmmmm... i wonder... looks and sounds more like a viola to me

[ddviolinist]

Mundane and easy. Not technically difficult at all. Why is it that mainstream has zero idea of what REALLY GREAT playing is all about? He can play in tune, and this stuff is OK, and maybe he is actually very capable, but you will never know from this vid.

[Da77o0oM]

thats actually a part of an arabic song. Alf leela weleela.

[spmdallas]

fuck him i know better players

[KingArmen84]

@spmdallas GO FUCK YOURSELF

[spmdallas]

@KingArmen84 yo mama so fat!

[lebagelboy]

great violinist

shit editing

[noblenabil]

ammmmmazing shitttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carnby1990]

the person who recorded this seems to focus more on the dancing chick than the awesome violinist

[monchaper]

Nice show but as a pro I can say that he mixing some sounds. Samvel Yerminian is more professional. Samvel Rocks

[aboy1983]

haha this is so funny. i laughed with amazement at the bow toss. great show :)

[poeticaeclair]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[NOAHofDEATH]

amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazinggg

[RantsCOSICK]

He holds that violin like he don't give a damn! What a champ.

[boomer5050csk]

belea...

[jacobibyreyes]

Genial, fabuloso, unico

[jarokasanyi]

it's joke?? because i think it was not so heavy job , it's funny , but not so hard , and good. The really violinist is Maxim Vengerov , this man is a clown :)

[Fusion2222]

@jarokasanyi maxim vengerov have no idea how to play other style of music than classical.. in the case, this guy can also play quarter-tones, which maxim vengerov cannot play at all

[esatachmet]

i think he is born with the Violin!!! ;-))

[ike2six]

@esatachmet hehe

[R0H4N11]

Samvel Verviniyan Could play this music better, This guys great though

[faisal2401]

to those who r stupid enough commenting this music is repetitive.. who cares?? hey it's a dance music.. it has to be catchy.. n he played it very well.. so shut up n dance!! haha

[miguelarmandosb]

Real amazing play. To achieve that kind of security playing this difficult instrument you must be a genius plus have years of practice. I Like the performance, beautiful ladies but extremely bad visual edition. unfortunately this i an old show. I agree that are other extremely good performers each have their merits.

[elielrpm]

repetitivo e chato... -.-' num to vendo nada de impressionante aí.

[ungusfungus]

Honestly, it was boring and repetitive.

[robbspace]

The camera man should of went to use the restroom before start filming.

[www819]

STOP saying whos best whos not just fucking listen and shut the fuck up.ok

[zagros24]

I love this clip, it just make you happy

[TheGameTagers]

This is not really showing good musicianship. It's showing he can play fast, but the people there have no idea what real music can be. Try listening to Hahn's interpretation of Bach. That's not to say that this guy isn't good. I'm only saying this is just him putting on a show for a bunch of crazy 20 year olds.

[mareoraft]

wow, very good playing, but all those cuts were making me nauseous...

[chessmeister]

I think Heifetz is better

[QQandGG]

nice play violin like guitar

<3 this guy, he's amazing and so talented. @y031962, I couldn't agree more; everyone is unique in their own way & style. And by the way ! whatever happened to this show "Ya Leil Ya Ein" I missed it... used to enjoy watching it :)

[777johnrambo]

[y031962]

Dont compare apple with oranges. This guy is great in his own way. Just enjoy the music. This piece is not easy to play.

[valeninlove]

amazing 

[BuRtOink]

Samvel could do this and get a wayy better tone at the same time

[F0LENANGEL]

Excellent performance, beautifully executed. I don't get the 126 tone deaf haters with the dislike votes. Maybe they thought this was Miley Cyrus.

[anish203ify]

[plat1160]

The end is a different song: Ya Nasini (Lebanese singer Georgette Sayig)

[plat1160]

He is a Lebanese Violinist, and his name is Jihad Akl.

The music is for an Oum Kolthoom song (the late top rated Egyptian Singer). The name of the song is "Alf Leila w Leila" (A thousand and one night):

[comarr23]

[heyitselissa101]

[zafgoesbaroque]

[vanilla1m]

[usamatheunlocker]

[esrapk]

[rummiena]

wonrefullllllllllllllllll

[azaza579]

Samvel Yervinyan is the best!!!

[fadiii999]

but this one is good

[azaza579]

I am not saying that he is bad but I think that Samvel Yervinyan is Better!!!!

But he is good too!!!!

[Fusion2222]

@azaza579 yervinyan is nothing in comparison with this. this guy plays in quarter tones, and yervinyan even would not dare for playing quarties. yervinyan i typical popular violinist, i wonder if he created something by his own

[azaza579]

@Fusion2222 I am inviting you to Armenia to hear how he is playing quarter and anything else !!but why are you getting angry guys!how can you say that Yervinyan is nothing!I think you dont understand stuff of art and violin!But anyway you can say everything you want !Samvel Yervinyan was,is and will be Genius! I dont think that if he would be bad violonist he would play with Yanni!just think a little!!

[orp27yuk]

@azaza579 I completely agree with you!

[azaza579]

@orp27yuk thanks!and I am glad that there are people who can realy understand the ART!!!

[y031962]

@azaza579

Don't compare apple with orange.

[paolaangelica28]

i Think samvel yervinyan is Better..

[ainanor]

@paolaangelica28

Samvel Yervinyan can`t be compeared to this guy! He is a big joke!

[ainanor]

@paolaangelica28 Samvel Yervinyan can`t be compeared to this guy! He is a big joke! Samvel is a true tallent! This guy soundslike he is repareing an old door hahah he needs more oil I think!

[Cast3131]

He's good enough to get the crowds out of their seats......kind of seductive...the crowd is loving it, so its allllllll good!

[alSANDSTORM]

Just as the title says: Amazing violin! I love this music. I wanna play something like this on electric guitar lets see how t comes out :)

[GreyShinobi]

This guy understands the fundamental #1 rule of performing. "Please your audience"

[loke2670dk]

i gues he dident have a playatation or commodore 64 (if he is that old) as a child only violin.

[tinkinabout]

STUPENDOUS  violinist !

[Pegasos4]

ok but not special

[Poziomzlasu]

gówno szajs chujówa

[THURAYASTAR]

I think this violin has lost his way and went to the wrong place.

[bluecloud434ever]

5 star

[TheRazosvg]

Look at these idiots talk about he has no respect for the music. Dame haters. Lemme see them pick up a violin and do that!

[bighromozvod]

looser, :D:D that can play every 15 year old violin player and me too :D

[mido69xx]

[gca8891]

hipnotisante, increible, que forma de tocar un instrumento, esto es arte puro, cada ves que lo vuelvo a ver me pone en un estado de (hipnosis) del que no puedo salir asta que acabe el video guauuuu!!!!!!!!!

[abdelmeged1]

المقطوعة دى من أفضل المقطوعات المفضلة لدى

[DanODST]

The view just keep change, make me want to throw up, why just can stay with few view, mess up video......but music is good!!

[Pillowchii]

Ugh, seriously...this guy's really talented, but I had to scroll the page down and just listen. Why can't the camera stay still for more than .000002 of a second at a time?

[DanODST]

haha i know!!!

[Aaron9380]

stupid camra guy

[free2singxgrl]

Yeah, of course he's showing off, There's an audience around him and judges giving him scores based on his musicianship and the way he gets the crowd going. People like that don't understand classical music like we do. Put what you're saying into perspective, and stop being so disrespectful to a fellow musician.

[anubis1055]

the problem is that he has no respect for the music. he is more interested in the women dancing in the crowd than he is in the music he is playing. yes he is talented. he is damned good. but at the same time watching that is disgusting. Scrolling down the page made it worth listening to but i couldnt watch that... Classical music (or even new age) should never be in that setting.

[XxLuchiaxKatioxX]

dude he throws the bow in the air because he is passionate about wat he does i play saxophone flute and piano i would twirl my flute dance with my saxophone and bang on my piano since the music is in me.

[Crystilwyn]

He was showing off

[ChrisRokers]

i would normally just play the piano normally, banging my grand would just cost me more money to fix it lols

[rawautube]

I hate that you people get to touch a aviolin.He abuses it,throwing the bow in to the air? Damn you for not respecting the violin you crapy not musician crap

[iAmJush]

i hear an arab tone at the back.. its like remixed with the tone...

GREAT WORK !

[MADEinARMENIAin1992]

His name is Ishkhan Adzhoyan and he is Armenian like Samvel Yervinyan and Armen Movsessian !!!

[AMAJD]

shiraz is from Bijan Mortazavi from IRAN DONT U ARABSSSS

forget it.

ALi

[edepol]

[ButovTURKDunyasi]

[hima3c]

[jasminaura]

This is Jihad Aql from lebanon, a superb violin player... checkout a piece of his called Shiraz / A violin affair..

The piece played in this is from a song for hisotic Egyptian singer Omm Kalthoum, Alf Leila w Leila (Thousands nights and a night) from the 70s iirc

[froggysbe2]

beuuurrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!­! :( :( :( :( :(

[1969Gigi]

UGH! The editing was HORRIBLE. Probably triggered a seizure for some poor epileptic.

[tanyeehern]

lol if this is good, go watch yanni!

[katocrazy]
