Bruce Dukov plays Sarasate in Sherlock Holmes episode

[Poet2916]

are we ever going to see an actor playing Sherlock Holmes play violin/fiddle without only screeching...maybe Robert Downey Jr in the Sherlock sequel perhaps?

[Baytuch]

that's the fastest rendition of Bach I've ever heard!

[mfelzien]

This is Bach not Sarasate.

[LudwigZhi]

@mfelzien in the film holmes just said that sarasate is playing at st james', without specifying the program.

Are you familiar with the short violin strain that is looped on the box set DVD menu? It's so lovely and I've never been able to place it. I don't recall it being used in any of the episodes.I always wonder who played it and what the piece is.

This video was very interesting. I loved this scene.

This is a fantastic film, I viewed it for free at: WATCHMOVIES4FREE {.} ORG

Only one problem here. Sarasate's concerts were sell-outs.

[1891may4]

Holmes has connections, foo.

[bookishmuch]

does that violin have 5 strings? O.o

[bookishmuch]

G'DAMN! i love this scene, especially the story, one of my fave Holmes moments ever.

[armonici]

lol this is Bach's partita N°3 in E major (played like Paganini's Moto perpetuo xD)

[loveclassic1226]

I thought it was the artist not composer that Sherlock Holmes mentioned as Sarasate. I mean, Holmes went Sarasate's playing Bach.

[Runescape28]

Partita #3

[drzarkov47]

only one problem....THIS IS BACH!!!!

[bookishmuch]

Sarasate is the performer, silly!

[Wonkapoo]

It's a miracle his mustache doesn't get caught in the bow. heheh.

Watson's so ghey for Holmes. It's soooo obvious.

[fanthy]

[bonniegrrl]

thanks for posting this! I love it!

[Sandrito702]

Sarasate plays it faster lol..very close but a little faster ..amazing eh

[larryrael]

Wow! Most impressive!!!

[msiu]

How do we know that he's imitating Sarasate?

[SamLee0519]

There's a recording of Sarasate, in 1903, playing the same piece, the Preludio by Bach, in extremely fast speed.

[marymorstan]

we know that hes imitating Sarasate because it say so in the Sherlock Holmes 'canon'. hehe yes i know i'm a geek!

[Dagarvs]

..and the part in this episode where holmes says "sarasate is playing at the st james hall!" was a dead giveaway

[7prcntcocaine]

Apart from the canon, here's another hint: go search for Sarasate's picture. The makeup man did a pretty good job.:) Dukov looks so much like him^_^
