  • This is one of the most difficult pieces ever written for violin (double-stopped trills - my fingers ache just thinking about that) and she plays it so skilfully! You can tell she is an extremely talented musician!

  • EPIC

  • Giuseppe Tartini would be so proud!!!

  • I love this piece, almost everyday, I come on to the computer to listen to this. =3 I'm glad that TrutheMarauder put this up.

  • love it! Who is to say, "classical musicians" can't have music videos?!?!

  • That's AWESOME!

  • A real catchy version. I heard the acoustic and slower version, it just gives me the creeps. But Vanessa's version, I'm just so speechless!

  • The BEST 10*******************

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • beautiful :)

  • Fantastic!

  • 5 Star masterpiece

  • Un violín mágico, en unas manos mágicas y una hermosa sonrisa.

    ( A magic violin, in a few magic hands and a beautiful smile.)

  • This woman is one of the most brilliant musicians I have ever had the pleaasure of listening to. My only regret is that I didn't know about her earlier.

  • I love it ^_^

  • awsome!! luv the evil laugh at the end

  • i wish i could play like her!!

    <3 this songgg

  • Excellent!!!

  • AWESOME!!!!!! My orchestra teacher gave me the sheet music 2 this song. It's VERY tricky. But the more u practice the easier it gets.

  • To be Honest between her playing and her good

    looks Nero would have to throw water on Rome.

    Cause Hell hath no Fury like a woman on the

    violin.

  • the jimmy hendrix of the violin, but in female version o.O

  • I wonder why i have never heard of her before. I am very much in awe of the style she is presenting. Why are people critizizing so much?

  • Forget the Bond girls, Vanessa Mae outrules every violinist I've ever heard O.O And Devil's Trill is said to be one of the hardest scores to take on

  • either someone spammed the rate it up thumbs button, or this video is REALLY REALLY famous xD

    p.s. GO VANESSA GO! ^^

  • She doesn't even need the background music. That's some killer violinage.

  • Just found this girl. By hearing random artists... This is simply superb. I love her style... Why cant American icons do this kind of thing.. Oh... wait It because they really have no talent.. its all brushed up by lip sinking and re done by machines. This is what I call a sex symbol. Bravo!

  • Vanessa Mae, my idol, goddess of violin, came from her seat with the gods, tired of watching us, not knowing the best of the violin, and came to show her marvelous abilities, making this sweet sensation in our ears, and hearts.

  • This is an incredible song. Absolutely the most beautiful version of The Devil's Trill.

  • Vanessa Mae is amazing! She plays her violin with so much passion!

  • This is absolutely the most beautiful version of the Devil's Trill I have ever heard and she carries such a strong image.

  • The first time I heard of this piece was on an Anime called Desendants of Darkness. A real pro can even have trouble with it!

    She's soooo amazing!!!!!! And the piece is so beautiful

  • She's so beautiful and talented. I've heard versions of this piece, live and recorded. And I can surely say she's amongst the best who had played The Devil's Trill.

    ~M

  • Amazing as always...I still remember buying your first CD. I couldn't wait to get home to listen to it. You are incredible!

  • she is awesome!

  • This is an incredibly beautiful song.

  • i am speechless!!!! AMAZING

  • Venessa mae is the best by miles. I had the pleasure of meeting her at one of her concerts. Very nice and humble woman indeed.

  • I love it when instruments predominantly used for classical make it into other genres. This is really cool. Check out apocalyptica, they play cellos in a metal style.

  • I think she's just fantastic ! Thanks for posting ! :)

  • WOW!

  • Vanessa Mae's playing of this technically most challenging work for the violin is stunning.I think she started playing this at a much earlier age from the maturity of her playing.

  • I like the phone dial tone in the beginning :)

  • Amazing.. Took my breath away!

    ATTENTION! If you don't like this song/video/artist, do NOT leave insulting comments. As a musician, I am open-minded about music, and if I don't like something, I don't feel the need to damn it for the sake of my own opinion. Insulting comments WILL be removed.

    dude i think it`ll be really hard to find sombody who dosnt like this.

    Top notch

    xxx

  • this is soooooo awesome and amazing xD

  • She is gorgeous and so talented

  • This shows how amazingly skilled Venessa Mae really is. To play The Devil's Trill so amazingly AND be able to dance while playing is simply...wow. Seeing her live would be so amazing 0.0

  • Outstanding musician and composer--one whose music and technique count her among, I believe, the world's greatest violinsts!! Vanessa, thank you for sharing your gift!

  • I saw someone play this song in a anime and everyone thought he was possesed because he played this song, and he was in high school. that was the reason I looked it up. the reason it is called the devil's trill is becuase it is rumored that the guy who wrote it sold his soul to the devil to be able to play it.

  • Because of Vanessa Mae I play the violin now, She is the exact reason why I play it and why I have come so far with it. I think Vanessa Mae and Itzhak Perlman are the best Violin players alive!!!!!

  • How do you do it? Just how do you do it? You play WONDERFUL!!! Plus, you're beautiful! This piece is just 100% amazing. You, my friend, are talented.

  • she's amazing!!!

  • Vanessa is amazing, by playing she looks determined and happy together...

  • She plays awesome!!! I want to see her live one day!!! =D

  • This makes the 100th time I've listened to this and I'm almost an old man! Wow! This is about as good as it gets.

  • OMG! I've been looking for the song name and artist for like ever! I have it on an unlabeled CD somewhere. This song is so beautiful and I've been dying to get its info. Thank you so much for sharing!

  • Wow, that's alot of rosin on the neck which obviously means she is a good player :))

  • It's haunting.

  • mixing of music styles.. new and old.. fantastic!

  • Truly AMAZING!!!

    She certainly didnt learn that overnight :P

    Loving this vid

  • It sounds so dark, which is really cool... I absolutely feel the darkness...

  • LOVED IT. so many equate difficult with better. not that this isn't difficult. People tend to forget that the purpose of music is NOT to express technique rather the purpose of technique is to express music .. i once asked a friend of mine who was an extremely acomplished pianist "what have you written" the reply was "nothing" i don't know how to write .. i just play the notes on the paper. Vanessa does more than that ..

  • Wonderful, Exquisite, and Stunning, dare I say more?

  • The Devil's Trill is an masterpiece and she manages to do it realy good. It's quiet amazing when you think about it, cause the devil's trill is one of the hardest to play.

  • OH. My. Gosh! This is absolutely stunning, amazing... it's hard to express my admiration of her skills! I read about this music piece somewhere but never had I thought it would be -this- THRILLING.

  • I used to listen to this song in high school, from her Vivaldi Four Seasons album. Love the mix of raw violin sound.

    And what an interesting video.

  • So amazing that some people are actually able to play that piece. It shows that music means ALOT to them. Great job

  • well, truethemarauder, i really think that who says vanessa sucks must be a total jerk, she totally rocks. and i act right when u remove those comments. vanessa does not desearve those freakes to judge her ^^ peace

  • Lovely, picturesque, scenic, delightful, charming, wonderful, exquisite, pleasing, superb, magnificent, perfect, beautiful, catching, exquisite, enchanting! Such great composition and she played it with immense composure! Like her gown too...Really...it's cute.

  • Very beautiful, I cannot imagine the hard work that Mme Mae has put into this. She has a gift with the Violin. Thank you for uploading

  • she rocks!!

  • I dunno if I'm all that crazy about the video, but the music is just amazing. Vanessa Mae is doing great things with classical music and pop culture.

  • Shiny....

  • Amazing voman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Breath taking video, though the flying violin kind of scared me, lol. But it was gorgeous. :)

  • wow....just wow!

  • Absolutely stunning!

  • i agree. this was amazing. Classical music will always be the best.

  • amazing

  • Jesus of course it's a hard piece. I mean to play it so effectively. This is the first I've heard someone play it. She's no ametuer.

  • Of course she no amateur shes been playing the violin for god knows how many years now, prob since she was a kid

  • i agree, should have to have played for a minimum of at LEAST 10 years or shes a musical genious, probably both though...

  • could you imagine trying that on Piano?

  • omg That's amazing;D

  • Vanessa Mae definitely has her own unique performance style- she obviously enjoys what she does!

  • I know, i wish i could play like her or like you Ben.

  • she is geougeous,and can play a mean violin, wow thats a great video thanks for sharing it

  • amazing but the scene when surfing the violin....wow...so baadd!

  • I like the dance/violin mix.

  • The Violin Sonata in G minor, more famously known as the Devil's Trill Sonata is a famous work for solo violin (with figured bass accompaniment) by Giuseppe Tartini (1692--1770), famous for being extremely technically demanding, even today.

  • I'm absolutely amazed because VM makes violin-playing look so easy! I myself played the violin in high school, I enjoyed it very much, even though I thought it was very hard to play it! So VM is just a fabulous musician, and I think that she'll go down in history as one of the greatest violinists ever!

  • I'm in love!

  • She amazing, but if I were here I would fire her FX directors. This music video is pretty bad. But her music is godly...I think this is my 12 time listening to this continuously...

  • I know what you mean about the music video -.- But it's a totally godly song :)

  • Yeh - agree completely

  • The story behind "Devil's Trill" starts with a dream. Tartini allegedly told the French astronomer Jérôme Lalande that he dreamed that The Devil appeared to him and asked to be his servant. At the end of their lessons Tartini handed the devil his violin to test his skill—the devil immediately began to play with such virtuosity that Tartini felt his breath taken away.

  • Vanessa is the best violon player ever. No words can describe her, she's simply the best in this cathegory.

  • I prefer the original by Tartini but this is rather interesting to listen to

    nice upload =^_^=

  • Whoa! 12 years ago I bought her albums and today her performances still electrifies me! 5 stars *****

  • Amazing.... wow i have never seen like this before... just awesome

  • i wonder if it's available for piano.....

  • wow! devil's trill muahahahahahahahha!

  • She is so amazing

  • :o

    jaw dropping.

  • FUCK YEA!!!

  • Violin Goddess

  • Simply an amazing song :]

  • Wow...

    She is very talented

    i love the song :]

  • O.M.G ....

    She's awesome!!! Do you know how hard of a song that is to play?! It's one of the hardest violins sonnets

  • This song was used in the anime Descendants of Darkness, for those of you who have seen it.

  • She is.. AWESOME and cute xD

  • beautiful and talented . . . vanessa mae is easily one of the best violinists in the world

  • She is very beautiful and plays beautifully as well. She plays with such ease which makes me idol her more. Thanks for uploading this vid.

  • Lovely to see the violin played so well and made sexy.

  • i am not one to like classical music but i was watching a show reacently that stated facts about the song the devils trill so here i am looking it up and finding it beautiful i love this piece

  • Such a beautiful piece , It is very hard to play. I have finally mastered it but this piece took me almost a 5 months to learn. That was with on and off playing and teaching myself how to do it.

  • Wow.. she's amazing, I love Vanessa Mae.

  • I love watching her play. It's entrancing how her fingers and bow moves while she plays. Excellent song.

  • just.. AMAZING

    no words..

    Just love her music..

  • fantastic player, fantastic music but as a huge fan of the art of music videos it is sad to see the potential of this incredible piece put to waste on a sub par video.

  • I would really like to learn how to play this one--I wonder how much harder this is than Kruezter. XD Doesn't seem to go too high, though all the double stops and loveliness would definitely be a challenge.

  • Wow amazing shes an amazing woman

  • She is really a violin player extraordinaire. I don't like the video much though - surfing on a violin is a bit too much for me. Even so, she does not write the scenarios to her own vids, I suppose - it's the other people. She only does the thing she does best - plays. And plays aboslutely amazingly - giving all the old pices the new, fresh, modern breeze.

  • Wow! That's like, one of THE HARDEST pieces of music for a violin to play! She's so talented!!!!

  • i love u, this is my favorite song

    vanessa mae is the best violinist on the world

  • hard to think this song is called the devils thrill though it is played like a angel wrote it beautful 5/5 stars you deserve it and much more beautfully done

  • freak'en awsome song and the woman playing you freak'en rock

  • Amazing. I love her MV's and she's very pretty. <3

  • Vanessa Mae keeps amazing me!!

  • wow beautiful and talented

  • FREAK"EN AWSOMENNESS (spazzezs out)

  • the surfing on the violin was kinda weird, but i really like the song anyway

  • very very very very BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  • ive never seen someone play the violin sooo well..just...wow

  • She did an amazing job with this piece; I loved it before, and love it even more so now ^^

    And yes, AngelLita, the sonata itself is still one of the hardest pieces ever composed to play.

  • que gran talento el de esta mujer..... genial.. great¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • I wish I could play a violin like that.

  • The story behind this song is really incredible. I have to say this mix between Tecno and Classical is quite awesome. Vivaldi's "Lestate Presto" performed by Vanessa is other example of that fussion.

  • This is... WOW...

    What a combination, it goes thru and thru. *goosebumps*
