Great video clip. The music is superb and very melodic. Please check my profile. I posted a video on a Town in Malta called Sliema. It is a sea side resort. What is interesting about this video is the fact that I have added Bethoveen's Romance in F as background music.
Passacaglia (Duet for Violin and Viola, after theme by Handel) written by Johan Halvorsen. It's commonly called the Handel-Halvorsen though. It's based on the Passacaglia from Handel's Harpsichord Suite #7 in G Minor where it serves as the sixth movement.
yeah, I know Charles too!! He is a bit of a show-off, but such a cool guy, and a lot of fun (and good with the ladies). I was friends with him last summer in the Aspen Music Festival...
Quick good playing indeed. What is the title of this music, is it common that it is found in a violin & cello arrangement as I believe it is more common as violin & viola...?
Wow, I love what they did. Its much slower and sounds sooo much more beautiful.

that's Charles Yang. He actually holds it normally, he just bends over alot, and rest his jaw on the chin rest, and tilts his head sideways.

It's interesting to see how this violinist holds his instrument. It's just about entirely on his chest (more forward that I've seen)
