Riverdancing Violinist

[Andre11Knol]

They are great! So multi talented!!! Bravo!

[Violin1836]

How can they?!? They have stolen this showpiece from Victor Borge

[28scotland]

I can't stop watching this! I love it.

[LaLobita27]

NO WAY!!! IT'S THE STARBURST SCOTS-KOREAN!!!!!!!!

[CaptainMorganThe3rd]

@LaLobita27 That don't make a wee bit of sense :P

[NotAgain90]

great number, except, of course, the gag with licking a finger on right hand and actually turning the page with left hand is borrowed... Victor Borge did it for years. otherwise, great stuff...

[dzchrcdzchrc]

I love how the audience is rushing when it claps...

[28scotland]

SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[InThyWord]

Crazy people! :)))

[AllyKari1]

One of the funniest, most random things I've ever seen.

[swissmartini92]

talk about multi-tasking... :D

[animefan294]

the song at 0:55 i played that for NYSSMA

[iluvspockandsylar418]

@animefan294 Suzuki 4? Nice. What's NYSSMA? (Btw, anime is totally awesome.)

[animefan294]

@iluvspockandsylar418 umm NYSSMA stands for New York State School Music Association and yah Suzuki 4. I think i might play that song again one of these days. and NYSSMA is pretty much a test that happens once a year. It's kinda like Royals but only goes from lvls 1-6 with no theory and for all instruments as long as there's a piece you have prepared from the manual...it's pretty much a way for students to scored by judges to see how well they play...

[iluvspockandsylar418]

@animefan294 Oh, cool. So I guess it's kind of like the "contest" we do for MNSOTA...

[CrivassanMun]

I needed a smile today! Thank you!

[RisalinaJenistine]

This made me smile :)

[LeJisemika]

[tselmun]

What's the songs name ? PLZ

[iluvspockandsylar418]

@tselmun The songs are... 1. Allegro from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by W.A. Mozart; 2. first movement of Symphony No.40 by Mozart; 3. first movement of Symphony No.5 by L. Beethoven; 3. unidentified, sorry; 4. first movement of Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor by J.S. Bach; 5. first movement of Spring from the Four Seasons by A. Vivaldi; 6. Meditation from Thais by J. Massenet; 7. Scotland the Brave; 8. Swallowtail Jig. Not quite sure what goes on after that; it's probably still the same song.

[ThePhishMaster]

@iluvspockandsylar418 The piece he plays after Beethoven's 5th is the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.

[iluvspockandsylar418]

@ThePhishMaster THANK YOU! I don't know what I'd do without people in the world like you. Honestly.

[FlavioRoma1605]

[Kroatosai47]

[Sanchezj1409]

What is the song at 3:03 and the song where the vacuum makes a theme.??.Well not theme...Just can't think of the word...But it's where he starts playing his violin to the music coming from the vacuum...

[dramallama321]

What's the first song he's playing called? For the life of me I can't remember the name.

[PaulorPT]

so at minute 2:36 he starts playing "Morrison's Jig" but at 2:51 he changes again I think

[ZhangsterDuck]

[jennyoriley]

[32symphonic97]

What's the song at :55 called?

[raperandhopper]

@32symphonic97 hi, it is BWV 1043 Mvto 1 from J.S Bach bye

[mayhmong]

Been staring at that hawt asian guy the whole time.

[NarayanAgustusReeves]

after seeing all your videos....i gotta say u would be the one i want to see win the million dollars in America's got talent. u got talent and u guys are really entertaining. thumps up if you agree

[thundermuffin9398]

@NarayanAgustusReeves i agree completely, these guys are awesome! but i dont think they are in America because in other videos they either speak another language (Russian?) or speak just a little bit of English with an extremely heavy accent so i dont think they can :( but they should come to America and WIN THAT MILLION DOLLARS!

[iluvspockandsylar418]

@thundermuffin9398 I think they can speak English, because Igudesman is either British or Australian, and Joo has spoken in English in a couple of the other videos.

[thundermuffin9398]

@iluvspockandsylar418 Yeah, I know they can speak some English, but I was saying I wonder if you have to be an American citizen to be on America's Got Talent, and I'm not sure if they are or not. :( Idk though.

[ImaginaryNightshade]

@iluvspockandsylar418 Igudesman was born in Russia, but moved to England at the age of 12; Joo was born in England, of South Korean parents.

[hamsterminator]

lol this is ace

[executionator]

haha fancy place, even the janitor has a tux

[PierFrancescMicciche]

This is the only correct list! 0:00 - 0:45 Eine kleine nachtmusik(Mozart) /0:45-0:49 40th Mozart's Symphony/ 0:50-0:51 5th Beethoven's Symphony/ I don't know/I don't know/ 0:58-1:00 Vivaldi's spring/I don't know

[tombarbe]

whats the intro caled at 2:05

[ThatsLyn]

What's the riverdance song?

[jaime52]

Fantástico que la aspiradora sonara como gaita ja ja ja ja ja ya ahi se inicia todo....¡Genial!!!!!!

[simmiyo]

he's a genius!

[Skorpi00007]

can anyone tell me all the songs he was playing or atleast some? please qoute with minutes

[muimui7794]

@Skorpi00007 I had the same question as you; just have a look at the older comments, people have listed all the songs. :)

[SilverInsanity]

@Skorpi00007 The very first song (from the beginning of the video) was Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. From 0:45 to 0:50, he plays Mozart's 40th Symphony. From 0:50 to 0:53, it sounds like the overture from Rossini's Barber of Seville. From 0:57 to 1:00 is Vivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons, and from 1:01 to 1:35 or so, he plays Elgar's Salut d'amour. Not sure about the Rossini piece, though; it sounds a bit different.

[hkobb7]

@SilverInsanity :50-:53 is Mendelssohn's violin concerto in Em.

[SilverInsanity]

@hkobb7 Thanks. :)

[becklimo4eva]

clearly 94 people dont know what music is really about

[PhilipTheBigOne]

HAHA!!! Go RIVERDANCE!!! Awesome how Igudesman is changing songs by the pages!

I'd be damned if a vacuum cleaner could provide celtic (or scottish) music in true reality!!!

[nowy5]

splendid!!!

[MichelleSeven]

haha! I never get tired of this!! haha love his expression when he starts playing the scottish national anthem XD

[LanaGame]

hey this is cool :D

[anubizz000]

LOL

[fatalmayu]

Funny and both cute, nice combo :) I love them

[AfroGoddess25]

94 people can't riverdance......or use a vaccum.

[Ayan1026]

Poor broom……XD

[Ayan1026]

Poor broom……XD

[supereend666]

whahahahahahah

[JazztheHeadbanger]

SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!!!!

[ww2aleed]

so f.ucking funny hhhhhhh

[DS42296]

whats that last song he plays?!?!?! the scotish/irish one!!! :O whats it called???

[bugtheboo62]

This has elements of Victor Borge/Riverdance/Stomp all at once...it's genius!!

[youmotherfucker69]

what was the last song they played?

[justjayit777]

that's so fucking clever but also takes a shitload of talent! I love it!

[MrBassakos]

Do you know how dificult is to play Violin while jumping up and down??

[ZhangsterDuck]

at 2:15, i thought Igudesman was going to start tuning. guess not xD

[animefan294]

oh Igudesman's finally wearing shoes

[PrimoTheDutchMan]

Those guys are so awesome =D

But I'm still wondering why Igudesman is licking his right hand, while turning the pages with his left... ^^

[littlelaurence]

@PrimoTheDutchMan It's just to prove a point that he's doing it I think :P

[teachingfeller]

@PrimoTheDutchMan That's an old Victor Borge gag. Apparently, the late Borge was a huge inspiration for Igudesman.

[L02T]

@PrimoTheDutchMan victor borge does the same in his performances

[darkhairednoble]

@PrimoTheDutchMan Licking his right hand while turning with his left is a nod to Victor Borge, another comedic musician years ago. If you like Igudesman and Joo, you'll like Victor Borge!

[goateeguy11221122]

@PrimoTheDutchMan That, like the part where he's playing different pieces every time a new piece of music goes down, is a reference to Victor Borge.

[takutolovex]

@PrimoTheDutchMan part of the act XD

[tylernm401]

@PrimoTheDutchMan it's just a joke. it looks like he's about to use his left, but then uses his right and you see how hes holding up the violin with his neck and sholder (:

[DannyCarlton]

@PrimoTheDutchMan Isn't that an old Victor Borga schtick? It may be a salute to him, who pioneered classical music as comedy.

[Dejn55]

@PrimoTheDutchMan because normally he would turn the page with right hand but there is his bow :-D

[TheJacktheRipper]

@PrimoTheDutchMan It's a joke made famous by Victor Borge...check him out...

[masael255]

@PrimoTheDutchMan Comedic shtick. :D

[regaldrifter]

@PrimoTheDutchMan thats why its humorous..

[MusicalTenor23]

@PrimoTheDutchMan hahaha! so that it is easy to turn the pages... hahaha! ^^

[TheMichael408]

haha fucking funny when he sucked the bow with his vacume at 1:35

[Drizzt1343]

hey what's the irish tune they play at the end?

[Drizzt1343]

hey what's the irish tune they play at the end?

[crownbrass07]

I like how he licks his right hand and turns the pages with his left. haha

[clothearednincompoop]

@crownbrass07

That joke is stolen from Victor Borge.

But good to see that there are people doing musical comedy.

[clothearednincompoop]

The idea of the vacuum cleaner sounding like a bagpipe could be inspired by a Mike Oldfield anecdote but that's less obvious than the page turning thing.

Anyway these guys are hilarious. I think I'll get a DVD for myself for xmas. :-)

[wenzhiquan]

i wish i could sightread like that XD

[jdubs6960]

This is the hardest I've laughed in months!

[spoonicuss]

the vacum cleaner music at 2:17 is scotland the brave for ppl asking but it changes around 2:35 dont know that one (HELLO YOUTUBE PPL)

[blackorwhitepanther]

@spoonicuss  2:33 is called "Morrison's Jig" :D

[Arellapple]

[MCCRANGBR]

@Arellapple thats the one I want to know!
