This NEVER ceases to make me laugh. Nonviolinists just don't understand.

[rinney333]

♪♫this is just a simple samba built upon a single note♫♪

[WineAndGravy]

I know why he sits under steps, so that he can looks underskirts in passing women! :))) Clever old guy!

[YayaHelena]

Alexey, love your humor and your videos!

I would love to see you in NYC in March !

[Firephenoix1]

I have always liked the subtly of British humor.

[cl191]

Nicky was adorable before she was attacked by the panda, this is one of the funnies and most random thing I've seen on youtube lol

[jelenka1]

"Go practice or something." - its definitely going on my t-shirt! XD

[rodrigoraoj]

[klacello]

[lilopantheist]

Bwahaha all your guys are amazingly funny bwahaha!

[Leseratte123]

HAHAHA, that´s so typical musician...Like a friend of mine says: You don´t have to understand it. He´s just a musician. xD

[CookieFace2010]

HAHAHA.

I've been putting off practicing until I got to the end of this video.

Very motivating! hahaha

[paulviolino]

[cryingalien]

I must ask this.... why is alexey on the panda? :)

[NortonAntor]

HAHAHAHA!I This has a very strong Arrested Development vibe. Especially with the theme song.

[Larii2cute4u]

LOL && she looks at US funny at 3:50 LOL

[jjackson54]

muito bom...

[lipkinasl]

ROFLMAO; this is hilarious. How many violinists does it take to change a light bulb? At least 2, someone needs to check its in tune!!!!

[neviladergjini1]

I LOVE U MAXIM

[max200184]

he can play piano.. hahaha.. is so funny!!!

[bighromozvod]

the best of the best of the best of the best :DDDDD

[kisaiscute]

LOL MAXIN VENGEROV!!!

[legman36]

Chinese Proverb: Man who speak to pigs end up staring at goats!

[MyMemories19]

Part II of Chinese Proverb: Man who stares at goats ends up bathing with flies.

[legman36]

Very good, I thought there was a sequel there somewhere, but it'll take a true genius of wordplay to come up with a 'part III'.

[Firephenoix1]

@legman36 Very funny:) There is another Chinese Proverb that says Man who speaks to pigs is wise beyond his years:)

[DickTheFiddler]

Much ado about absolutely nothing. Igedesman, there are Narcotics Anonymous meetings in San Francisco. Get off that crack !

[Firephenoix1]

@DickTheFiddler Seriously you don't get the humor? Wow, I know that British humor is subtle but even I saw the humor in this video. Calm down, take a deep breath try not to have a melt down and panic attack. Stop freaking out like a little girl and pull yourself together-it is only humor.

[Max0Inq]

I used to play violin when I was 8, but I stopped after half of year. I saved my sanity!

[butrfly727]

hahahahahahahaha

[RoseSpeaking]

Thank you SO MUCH for putting all your videos in English. I really appreciate it. I'm argentinian and my mother tongue is Spanish, but I've studied English my whole life. I'm a teenager but I would love to travel and watch your shows. Your creations are so amazing! Have you ever seen "Les luthiers"? They perform a different type of show, but you still are so similar. Keep it fresh, keep it crazy as it is, you are great!

[JardelPablo]

igudesman

I have only one thing to say for you->

Ronaldo

and very shines on curinthans

[generallyanony]

the last few lines were amusing.

AND YOU NEED SOME SELF CONFIDENCE! You're almost as bad as me!

For some people, being a world class musician, amazing composer and fantastic musical comedian just isn't enough...

hehe

[cryingalien]

aww poor igudesman getting attacked by huge giant animals. if i could i'd jump in front of you in slow motion screaming "nooooo!" if i could. LOL, and falling off the piano like that!? You must have been really into playing to do that! And I think your piano skills are great even if you don't think so. I'm glad you showed the world how goofy violinists can be. :P

[sovietviolin]

This is officially the funniest video I have ever seen on youtube. Pure genius!

[evangelxreiku]

that's a big dog! XD

great vid =D

[Myx4o]

- So you speak to pigs?

- Yes.

:D

[Naxyr]

lol at 2:06

[LESDT]

[hotandsweetbmw]

I gotta admit u r the best &that chink pianist...I mean Ive been playing piano myself since 6 yrs old...and I know how bored and aggrivated you get..so I c where all this dumb stupidity coming from haha But hey, It IS funny & I enjoy it..(especially after I play piano 4 hrs) which never happens no more since I finished musical school in Kiev and moved 2 states..but I do compose my own music, if can call so & its helpful & refreshing to get "inspiration" from such idiots as u guys r-GREAT job! :)

[sharon4773]

ahhh to be honest, this is typical, you should seee me and my orchestra friends xDD musicicans go crazyy all the time , but it sure is fun isnt it mr igudesman?

[mufty1qwer33]

[igudesman]

[mufty1qwer33]

I didnt mean any offence.....the video is GREAT !

I just love the way you all "are getting crazy".

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

[Murunflei]

I love Igudesman. He is exactly like me, even I'm not like him...I love Igudesman, I like him very, very much. Like musician, like all. He is complete. Does somebody knows his mail?

[Murunflei]

I love Igudesman. He is exactly like me, even I'm not like him...I love Igudesman, I like him very, very much. Like musician, like all. He is complete.

Does somebody knows his mail?

[robiolin]

You, guys, are crazy!!!! MAestro Vernikov included! Regards!

[EsperanzaGalera]

"So you speak to pigs" "Yes!!"

[cleopatra11]

hahahaha so funny

[redbrickhut]

is that actually vengerov?

[devaraja42]

Yes.

[dafiddler2004]

I am DEEPLY concerned................... will people still entrust us with Schoenberg, Brahms and Mahler, if they know what we're REALLY like?-----LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[Firephenoix1]

@dafiddler2004 The answer is yes they will, you have to be different to be a musician and it is a good kind of different but yet not be afraid to show the world who you really are:)-It is all good

[kyleclef]

2:06 had me in stitches!!!!

[tovinho]

So, in what country were you guys?

[Tomokoviolin]

I love the crazy violin world!

[Gilaziel]

Hilarious! I hope to see more installments!

[Ichigobleach7391]

"NO! No! Leave him alone!" lmao Igudesman is funny. XD

[1a2jsou4]

2:06 :-D !!!

[CityGirlLuvs]

i wonder why he was on the panda.. :/ LMAO

[illsueya99]

Love the end. xD. Did people actually give him money when he was playing the random horn thing?

[kingofkards91]

It amazes me how they're French and Russian and yet speak with perfect American English accents.

[igudesman]

Well, actually, Nicola is Scotish - Italien and thats a Scotish accent, Julian is Lithuanian - Russian - Jewish and thats a weird accent and Maxim is Russian - Jewish and his accent is quite far from American... but you have to remember that everyon is a traveling musician, so we pick up a different bits and pieces of accents all over the place and it becomes a strange sort of amalgum...

[kingofkards91]

I was actually talking about you and Joo.

[markorobert]

ave!

[closetviolinist]

not to mention the poor dog and panda . . . tragic.

[closetviolinist]

Yeah, I agree, life is tough for a violinist, but it looks even tougher for the guys playing plastic clarinets for little to no pay. :D

[Galatians324]

Crazy.

[RaRaLandTV]

I just cannot get enough of this... :))

Are you guys improvising in the starting piece on piano and violin? It just sounds nice and raw. Visceral is more like it :) hahahhaa Pavel looks almost like a lost tourist:) Thank god there are more crazy funny people in this world!

[RaRaLandTV]

I am no expert,..but I guess the piano work resembles the asymmetric low string section in Le sacre du printemps? :) But with pavel's raw emotions, that intro ends up sounding like something that might have made Schnittke happy :) Art is all about sacrifice...in a good way, so I'm sure your foot will understand one day when it gets older... This clip just keeps making me laugh every time I watch it :P

[RaRaLandTV]

why on earth would someone label your reply as spam??? Maybe they really like the smell of spam....could be....

[stefania64]

DEMENZIALE

[MissViolin]

you are so great and really good medicine for a violin student... :-)

the (music) world needs violin players like you!!

[yuzihan]

hehehs. i nvr knew they were liddat!! but still, their violin skills are awesome!!!! hehe. i like the ending!!!

[orenji494]

[dickturpinnet]

XDDDD

[jinithith2]

lmao at 3:59

[kaizokku]

[angelicacecchi]

Now go away, it's over.

Go away I said.

Stop watching, get a life.

Go practice or something.

That's art!

Life is serious, but art is gay!

[issavestheworld]

Hahahahaha

[rusanda]

[bejebew]

[Noratschka]
