Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo

[veeerooniicaaa]

Muy bonito

[MrLinuxdoctor]

Is there a reason why everyone is being blocked by the video you have called Dean Martin - The Man Who Plays The Mandolino

ITs blocking us here in the US TO VIEW!

I really love your playing... Wow ! wish i was that good :-)

Many thanks for the wonderful videos

[fauspt]

very good man...you do concerts?

[janewsome78]

Lovely! The mandolino is quintessentially Italian, of course, and the addition of your playing to Mascagni's scoring is brilliant. One can virtually feel the breath of the sea sweeping across the piazza. I have played the organ accompaniment to the Intermezzo in the opera house, and it is a beautiful, if now somewhat hackneyed, piece. Grazie!

[paulmaters]

Outstanding!!! You have obviously perfected your skill with years of focussed practice and effort, culminating in an exceptionally gifted and skilled musicial rendition. This is one of my most favorite pieces of music and hearing in from the mandolin in your hands has enriched it all the much more. You know know that your personal efforts have and Love of music has gifted another fellow human of the pleasure of your music. You are on your way to Greatness, Thank You, Thank You.

[bradybraidz]

@paulmaters That was an exceptionally beautiful message - I am so glad that you like the music and my playing :) Thank you for listening and taking the time to comment.

[ilovemusicahouse]

Where did you buy your mandolin. Is it an Italian one?

[brandodes22]

molto bello

[gerrinad]

Just seen the comment by ivannrico Tom, just had a look at his site. A nobody with no talent, some people should just shut up.

[gerrinad]

Beautiful, I can hear and see your playing. 5*. Love it, great tune.

[mufc1970ok]

exellent, very well done

[akira7891]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh exelente!!!!!!!

5/5

[Musik10x]

I think that's a magnificent presentation. All who can play anything on a mandolin raise your hands!

[ivannrico]

this guy is very funny, his instrument simply does not any thing for the music

[Qharisunqu2]

Hola Thomas: Your performance is very nice, only one thing, there is too much orchestra for your mandolin. Maybe you need a better microphone for your instrument, or you lower the volume of the orqchestra so we can hear you better (probably the idea of the mike would be better). Lovely performance in a lovely instrument. Good luck.

[jbaravel]

Thomas, mis mas sinceras felicitaciones por la interpretación de este hermoso instrumento

[BlaisePascalDisciple]

Ma signori miei, non sapete cos'è un mandolino? What a shame!

Mr.Bradybraidz, you're such an artist! Very interesting!!

[mrhackysack123]

wat instrument is that, a lute?

[bradybraidz]

It is a Mandolin - it is derived from a Lute called a 'Mandore' - by the Italians and used largely in Napoli in the 19Century :)

[ttkk1303]

Mr. Brady, just to let you know that this song has huge sentimental value to me as a person, and your quite stunning rendition had such a profound impact on me that it actually moved me to tears.

Quite brilliant!

[sergiomisa50]

I like this song so much, well done Brady.

I love it, thank you for sharing it with us.

[aammirr]

Is that less stupid, BRADY !

[bradybraidz]

I didnt ever say it was stupid! lol :)

[aammirr]

This proves, once again, that you don't have to be Italian to make Pasta Sucu, Ha !

[neonenour89]

STUPID COMMENT!

[aammirr]

Once there was a Russian tenor who sang at La Scala for the 1st time. A nervous wreck before he went out; by the end of the opera, when everyone went out for the encore, all received an ovation. He was sent out alone and received a standing 'O'. So, he sang the aria again. Another 'O' and he sung it again, again, and again, 10 times. Finally he thanked the audience and said he was grateful but can't sing anymore. Then somebody in the crowd said, "you'll sing it 'til you get it right!"

[kurtbuckley]

i dont get it ?

[semtex44]

bravo what a beautiful sound

[BioQuel]

Just beautiful! Your sound is just beautiful!you are very talented !

[Bonsai173]

Brady, I think your heart is a Sicilian one full of passion and love.

Keep up the excellent perfomance.

[Bonsai173]

Excellent performance. The heart and soul of sicily is in this music.

Cheers

[velhomiguel]

absolutely flawless

[nellaxela]

Awesome, cracking stuff.

[liquidfreak]

Your a very talented person

[binnu89]

bravo! raging bull soundtrack..

[lsalavar]

your music is wonderful! i want to learn how to play, can you teach me? ive been playing the piano since i was a little girl, but i want to learn this...i cried listening. beautiful....

[shottastern]

Its so good I think im gonna cry.

[orquideabranca1001]

é lindo.

[bradybraidz]

obrigada.

[declantynan]

Go to a music school audition, there are open audition, you would walk through the door if you wanted it, they are crying out for talent

[antony716]

If you're telling the truth, you've got a natural talent, as proof by this performance.

[VEINTYUNICO]

that's allright men. Don't bother. How's going londonderry air!? jeje.

[VEINTYUNICO]

HEY! Me again. Where do you get the Score of intermezzo!?...

[bradybraidz]

I figured it out by ear. I havnt tabbed it out but if you want i can do for the mandolin?

[VEINTYUNICO]

Hey man! That's was awesome! I wan't hear you playing "Londonderry Air" please give me that pleasure.

[bradybraidz]

Sure! I will learn and post a video for you. I'll drop you a message when i have done it.

[VEINTYUNICO]

Hey man! That's was awesome! I wan't hear you playing "Londonderry Air" please give me that pleasure.

[HistoryGeek4U]

Awesome rendition of the "Cav" intermezzo. Obviously figuring out how to play this on the mandolin by ear isn't easy; you are very talented.

[bradybraidz]

Thanks for the nice comment and im glad you like it :)

[robocat66]

You play from the heart. Very very nice indeed.

[441929]

Great execusion of this gem of a piece in mandolin. Do more. I truly enjoyed your artistry!

[stratajem]

Bravo!

[nyv1k1ng]

very good

[seilts]

How do I find a version of this song that has this instrument in it, such as the above or the version that is played in Godfather III?? All the ones I've come across don't have this string component, which I love.

[bradybraidz]

I have never found a version with the mandolin it seems to be all strings! I can send you an MP3 with me playing it but thats all i can offer, sorry

[nycfemale2008]

really really interesting!

[declantynan]

I'm a Ph.D student in University College Cork, In Cork there is Cork School of Music , CIT, it's free just turn up in September each year, a short interview and off you go to explore the world of music, plus there are grants that one can apply for.

[declantynan]

Brad, why don't you apply to a music school? It will allow you to explore your interest.

[bradybraidz]

Not meaning to sound like an idiot or like im trying to get compliments but i dont think im good enough. I can play simple stuff but i cant play quick songs. I prefer slow songs and also i do things by ear so i cant even read music. But thank you for saying i should anyway :)

[saosaosin]

but thats what will develop your ability.

if you continue to just figure things out by ear and play slower

[saosaosin]

songs with no theory, you will only be able to go so far.

schooling and theory will broaden your outlook and let you appreciate a larger amount of music!

very nice playing though!

[bradybraidz]

Thanks for the comments. I do want to pursue it further, right now i am studying Film and TV but who knows what ibn the future :) out of interest, Do you play any instruments?

[saosaosin]

wow i know its like half a year later but

yeah i play violin, guitar, and dable in voice.

i watched your video cause i made regional orchestra and played this song.

by the way, you look so moved at the very end when you look up

haha awh!

touching =P

was interested in how a mandolin fit

[bradybraidz]

Wow, i would love to be in an orchestra, you are very lucky especially to play this song as well. I love Cavalleria Rusticana so much and I think this is my favourite piece of instrumental music. I am finally going to see the Opera (with I Pagliacci as well) in Sept, draggin my girlfriend along with me! Cant wait :P

[Jayhawksku1]

Hey really good job, very impressed

[wuhstawop]

[dagutic]

Excellent man... it made me wish to have a mandolin and be able to play it that way

[jsphmerc]

You did this by ear? You compliment that song so well using the mandolin, perfect job!

[bradybraidz]

Thank you very much :)

[stefan1h]

[wenarto]

wow - amazing! 5 stars

[kizugrey]

bravissimo. E' molto difficile suonare il mandolino.

[csyumul1758]

watching your fingers move with such effortless grace with the orchestra in the background brings a calming effect to a restless mind.

[katescandyshack]

This is beautiful.

I'm learning this piece on my violin now and listening to you playing it helps me a lot

[robocat66]

Tom, Beautiful indeed. I love your even and smooth strumming. I have so much trouble keeping it even, but I get re-motivated when I hear the mandolin like this. Peace, Rich

[bradybraidz]

Thank you very much, im flattered :)

[surgite111]

This is so excellent, wonderful rendition on the mandolin. The sound of the mandolin makes this sound much more special if thats possible!

[craigclocker]

Fantastic

[skyblue2296]

beautifulllllll

[KristinaMH]

Simply beautiful.

[Gloucesterdancer]

Your an inspiration - I adore this piece of music and is a tearjerker to me for some reason but i guess with most people who love this piece too. Well done.

[Schatzmel]

You're great, and you have a great sense of ear too. This piece is one of my favorite piece to play and to listen to. You have done a wonderful interpretation.

[bradybraidz]

Thank you very much :)

[666mandolin]
