Wonderful. What leads a vibe musicianto Early music? I will be following your videos!

[yanych]

@janithw Thank you very much for the compliment!

I believe that it doesn't matter what instrument you play, it's important to only "what" and "how." And about early music on vibes: "Everyone has the right not to be a contemporary of his own" (Marina Tsvetaeva, a famous Russian poet).

Such a beautiful performance, the details of the music really come to life - and it sounds like a dance, not like a difficult piece (which it is!). The ornaments look frighteningly difficult but sound light and perfect. Thank you!

[anniecrisis]

Wahooo - what a fabulous bit of work: it's scarily tough counterpoint, that, and sounds great :)

if you fancie a challenge, have a look at some c. p.e bach, solffeggieto

[yanych]

@mallis182 Thanks for the suggestion. If you're referring to this work [imslp.info/files/imglnks/usim­g/f/f5/IMSLP02573-Bach__CPE_-_­Solfeggietto.pdf] it's easier performed on vibes than any Byrd's dances, for example. Wherever there is only one melodic line, there are no great problems :) for the vibraphone arrangement even at a fast tempo.

it's pizdiets!!!

[orion777temp]

[yanych]

@Jcc477 I am a representative of the Russian classical music school in action :) All my musical arrangements I am writing myself. (I'm not a prude. You can swear if you so easy to say). Thank you for comment

I don't know much about the Vibraphone, but I think you did an excellent job interpreting this piece for that instrument. Keep the music alive, bra!

[jamesshipp]

Fantastic. It's so beautiful to see someone do make such a strong, complete, and well-developed statement on the vibraphone. You are expanding the borders of the way I think about the instrument!

In a sea of videos of bad Burton impressions, this is truly worth watching over and over. Thank you.

[yanych]

Thank you, James! All I'm trying to do on the vibraphone is impossible without a literate audience.

[venividiu]

Beautiful. As a percussionist, you have a much better sense of rhythm (except for the one small error) than most harpsichordists! Will you be playing more music by England's greatest composer for us?

[yanych]

Thank you. You'll laugh, but a few hours ago I received a parcel from UK with two volumes of Musica Britannica :) God willing, I'll make some recordings yet. Stay tuned!

[dragonrose52]

What did I miss out? a bit of gluckenspiel? (I'm not sure how to spell that)...

And who or what is GG?

[yanych]

Let me not to divulge some secrets :) GG is Glenn Gould (I thought that a Canadian could have guessed this).

[dragonrose52]

Very Beautiful, Yan!

You make the vibraphone sound like a cross between the organ and the harpsichord and maybe a touch of water organ. I love it!

[yanych]

Thank you, I'm glad to know that you like my sound.

How are you could read my thoughts? :) You guessed right all the ingredients of my audio mix. Well... almost all :)

(And Canada is my dream. Some day maybe I'll come to Toronto, closer to GG)

[vibeman27]

Man, that cat is doing some moving with that traditional grip. Bravo

[yanych]

Only the Lord knows how it turns out, man. Thank you

[MarieNoelleP]

Amazing Yan!

And you're right: it looks strangely nearly "easy" on the video, though it's def. not!

Great job!

[jazzvibe]

wow that was beautiful!

[unagondolaunremo]

astonishing! you play very very well and it was not easy at all!

[yanych]

Grazie, signore! Pleasant when you praise

[Johanvibes]

This is beautiful !!!

[sneddley]

Marvelous!
