Star Trek Music Special - Data

[tallynn94]

Brent is so lovely, and talented, and...well, he WAS super hot. Now he's old enough to be my grandfather, so I can't say that he's beautiful anymore. But still, gorgeous voice, gorgeous man, hilarious personality, GREAT talent. I love him so much!

[xXLadyDataxX]

The part where Data sings at 6:47-7:09 should have been with subtitles.

[MissGrapeNehi]

Data makes one heck of a handsome Sherlock Holmes.

[Mikerice260]

I wonder how much of this Brent Spiner actaully had to learn in order to act it out. Regardless, he shows some incredible talent as a human being here! On the opposite end of the spectrum, it's amazing to see Data struggling with whistling in the first episode - amzing what way he's come (and proof that even androids need to practice!)

[nbrente]

My name is Brent

[Nickelberrynsc]

Brent is awesome, really! But no one is playing a high note!!!! EVER!! They're on the other side of the instrument! And now that I've noticed this it's bugging me! Grr.

[elatu]

Please can somebody tell me which song is the first?

[FERViolin2010]

date should be my violin teacher :)

[Falconpelt]

I guess Data plays better Oboe than I do.

[datalorelover]

I read in an interview that Brent Spiner can only play the guitar.

Amazing how well he faked playing the other instruments.

Data is the best character ever in Star Trek....period!!

[Usul573]

@datalorelover

Bit of a fail at 2:27, to be overly critical.

Since I've played Violin I can also kinda tell, but still.

[Lyrictheac]

I've heard the first song somewhere, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called!! Gah!!

[Eleanorminblack]

Can he just play anything?

[Msviolinist224]

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE FIRST MUSIC??? PLZZ

[Nothruzem]

Can someone please tell me the name of the episode where Data plays the violin?

[kwatson512]

At 5:01 it's Passacaglia for Violin and Viola, by Johan Halvorsen (late 19th century), based on an earlier work by Handel

[AMVlurver]

'Cause Data is just that awesome/epic/cool.

[robbiegosling]

i wonder if brent spiner is really playing

anyone know if it is him?

[Violinfiddleman]

sorry to say, he isn't. I believe he might have some experience playing the instrument but not to the caliber that is here. I think he plays the piano though.

[robbiegosling]

:( shame

[Trek001]

In "Sarek:", how old is the second gold shirt? He must be OLDER THEN PICARD!

[Sokebacsi]

5:01 what song pls

[Firusha]

Does anyone know the name of this pieces?

[BrandiTyler]

I love Brent Spiner's singing!

[johnnyb1936]

did brent spinner actually play these pieces?

[borkas1]

4:26 Handel!

This is what sparked my interest in Baroqe.

[miserylee]

android or not Data is the sex!

[kittykidee]

@miserylee i agree! love me some data

[Milky111wtf]

I really wish this looked real... unfortunately the only way to make someone look like an excellent player is for them to actually be one. That's why they used CG to put other people's bodies onto Joshua Bell's hands for the Red Violin.

[Skaughtey]

The name of the song in the second half of the concert in "Sarek" is Sextet No. 1 in B-Flat Major.

I found the song under iTunes store as:

String Sextet No. 1 in B-Flat Major, Op. 18: II. Andante, Ma Moderato

[adaswet]

The guy actualy playing the violin is Jascha Heifetz. They made a very good choice

[BalinChainly]

Very nice. Thank you.

[Chicery]

Starting at about 8:22 you can hear a little snippet of the opening theme when the violin is warming up.

[kt27rule]

i love this video it so cool and sweet

[potophan2006]

6:50=0.o...so great!

and 7:50 <3 anyone know what song he's playing there?

[voyager454]

What is the song that Data and the lady (forgot her name) do in Ten Forward?

[5ohMan]

The lady with the grey hair ??..or the lady playing the piano ??

[issu999]

this is great! the second piece of music in 'sarek' is so beautiful! and i love how he plays the guitar. <3

[ramsaybaggins]

So awesome XD

Do you reckon Brent can actually play? Cos it looks like he can play the piano and the guitar. It would be so awesome if he can XD

[olives639]

Brent sings - Ol Yellow Eyes, Dreamland - but he doesn't play instruments in the series as stated in interviews.

[ramsaybaggins]

Ahh, thanks =P

[requiemdiety]

thanks for this vid. i love the choices of music that are on TNG.

[VictoriaWinters1991]

I love Data and adore the actor too! He plays a wonderful John Adams in the musical, 1776.

[voyager454]

He did a great job portraying John Adams.

[mauerblumchen]

I've been looking all over for something like this! Awesome!

[HighwayJoe]

Hnh. Never realized there was quite this much music in TNG. Or that Data picked up the violin that often. Heh. I like it. Following the post-Buffy era, when most TV shows are awash in either Pop or Emo [and I use the term as is here, not as an insult], it's nice to hear a bit of Classical music every now and then. And, for me, nothing tops the violin.

[CypherToNine]

check 2:40 then wipe your eyes :'(. that is a master piece DATA is sooooooooooo wrong

[Lywnis]

why was he wrong? anyway,was this from Vivaldi ? or did i totaly screw this one up... and dont kick my groin

[kt27rule]

i love this video it so cool

[CillChainnigh]

Beautiful

[Jiffybob47]

the second segment with the trio makes me want to take up the piano again :D

[grumpytosnowwhite]

LOL! Can't whistle!

[TheBlackSquirrel]

Great job! :D Love it! ^^

Poor Data can't whistle... XD But he totally rules TNG! ;)

[andreaeckhart]

Magnifique Music !! I love you Data !

[SymphonieFantastique]

What a great idea :)
