DAVID GARRETT - Zapateado (Pablo de Sarasate) - Mannheim

[Newriverartist]

Thank you very much! And thanks to banshee511. I am a visual artist and amateur pianist and I love all kinds of music. I prefer classical but this crossover interpretation is great! For people that just like classical there is David Garrett's new CD Legacy.  I have been playing it over and over again!

Pull your pants up.

[MrQuequestring]

churras y merinas ¡¡¡¡ como decimos aquí en españa. 

[Makarow9mm]

horrible... poor Sarasate....

[MrStealthNacho]

Damn, this guy played everything...

[michael63580]

i`m not sure if he can play the staccato on on bow... watch hora staccato played by garret... he always plays up-down !

[xxloudmouth]

amazing violinist, but i like Midori's version a bit better. still great though:)

[sorinion61]

it's absolutely the most kitsch of music i ever heard, it's unexcusable, in a mess...david garrett seems to be a techno robot... haha, junk music! sarasate deserves more and better than this circus.

[davinusta]

No matter what they say I love the way he do!!I'm happy to see him playing.That's enough 4 me.

[sacialtopica]

what??? patetic

[TheSweezels]

i started to smile when he started to play.

[Syantaa]

A morbid arrangement of a fantastic piece. The drums just do not go with this.

[luisstern]

@Syantaa I AGREE.....THE BEST WAY TO LISTEN TO THIS PIECE IS WITH JUST A PIANO AND VIOLIN; BUT THIS DOES NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE VIRTUOSITY OF THIS GUY......WHAT A FANTASTIC HABILITY!!

[shavertoo]

@Syantaa

Something had to try to cover up all those mistakes and the horrible sound!

I wonder if he ever listens to the playbacks.

[lesiegelad]

@Syantaa What he does is an aquired taste I would say. Some people are going to like this some people aren't.

[cataraiko]

No porque haya hecho una versión distinta tiene que ser horrible o un insulto a Sarasate... o al menos eso creo yo. Su interpretación igual está entretenida, aunque obviamente es mejor la original. En mi opinión tenemos que aprender a ser más tolerantes (sin perder el respeto), en todo sentido, y más si se trata de algo tan valioso y subjetivo como la música :)

[simonwongyh]

the drum beat somehow ruined the original musicality...though in some places the drums are quite dramatic and add color to the piece.

[Rogue4renhiw]

What the hell is going on with 29 people???? THEY DON'T HAVE EARS!!!

[arcpineapple]

@Rogue4renhiw No, it's just a really terrible rendition >.>

[importedcinnamon]

This is awful. Absolutely horrendous.

[importedcinnamon]

@importedcinnamon As a classical violinist, this video makes me want to vomit.

[s2p3r]

basque feel to the zapateado. feels like the zapateado went back to the masses where it rightfully belongs

[Pastisknowledge]

why does he have a camera on his head? O.o he looks funny with it. Anyway beautiful perfomance!!!=D

[lolturtle13]

@Pastisknowledge If you look in the background you can see a big screen displaying what the camera is

'seeing". lol

[Mshashviashvili]

The way he plays Zapateado is like his nature and his bright character, great! :)

[r0alejandra]

21 personas q no aprecian la buena musica ¬¬

[ana92021]

@r0alejandra Es buena música, pero la interpretación es horrible! Hay muchas mucho mejores que esta. Escucha a Gil Shaham o Midori Goto. Mil veces mejor, y es la misma pieza

[Fable014]

horrible

[grecio10]

magnifico, parece uma criança com seu briquedo preferido

[Hannahorse715]

what is the thing on his head and y is it there??

[lostmysoulinthenight]

@Hannahorse715 it's a camera so they can see his playing on the big screen behind him, you can actually see it in the video.

[peacenikkie]

@Hannahorse715 -Because David is David! ~0;-)

[lukebaker1001]

rough start... overall good performance .... obviously a virtuoso ...... not great music though ... try gil shaham for truly great sarasate

[Mshashviashvili]

@lukebaker1001 Gil Shaham plays Zapateado great but David's interpretation is more live and vivid and emotional...

[mypersonalhome99]

é assolutamente inascoltabile. Prego sentire l'interpretazione di Midori Goto.

[quimsorable]

Una sorpresa aceptable. Interpretación sin sentimiento y rutinaria.

[quimsorable]

Una sorpresa aceptable. La interpretación es en algunos pasajes no se ajusta al tempo original.

[BestAmateurViolinist]

Bravissimo. This one worked.

The difference between Midori and David is that David was playing with a rock band and didn't have an accompanist who could make tempi changes easily. It was a straight-through performance of perfection. Midori gets a little rough with the intonation also at 2:24-2:25. She also slows down unnaturally. Otherwise, her phrasing is better, but only because she was one-on-one with the pianist and didn't have to worry about playing with a band. Here, David is the best.

[stringscgda]

Look up "midori zapateado".. best i've ever heard perform it. Midori was a student of DeLay who taught Itsak. Itsak was David's teacher.

[barbara4221]

Amazing!

[amourkayanyan]

He;s second note has already out of pitch

shame of music!

[hjlee424]

@amourkayanyan shame on you for thinking that the whole piece is ruined because of that one note.

[amourkayanyan]

@hjlee424 i thought a violinist is AT LEAST supposed to play the note at the right pitch.

Or you just appreciate him so much that you cannot even listen to this piece fairly ?

i don't judge the way he perform but he actually needs more practise on violin and definitely needs to improve his BASIC skills . That's all for me. And would you please calm down a little bit?

[hjlee424]

@amourkayanyan I found out david garrett recently through youtube and he appears to be pretty famous and a great violinist. Although he is a professional, mistakes can happen because he is not a robot. and by the way he plays these difficult passages, i am pretty sure he practices a lot....lol and has a lot of BASIC skills...

p.s. i am calm

[mminnie29]

I ike how he takes other work and makes them his own, just like any other artist out there who samples songs that were done a long time ago. I think with him blending classical with rock is gaining a new audience. He is an excellent player, and for those who say he is ruining classical music can go to another channel where only classical music is being played. :-)

[banshee511]

For all those who say something like "you are ruining classical music": I'm a classical violinist. There is no set definition of classical music. He is an excellent player, and he is giving a new twist to a classic. This doesn't make him or his audience stupid. Just enjoy the performance.

[eldelsombrerillo60]

jaja esta chistoso el acompañamiento

[ubear56]

My absolute favorite played by David and the best interpretation of Zapateado by anyone...thank you Rose for posting and the good sound!!! And my 4 year old granddaughter loves it too together with David's Carnival de Venice. Thank you David for touching my soul with your playing!!!

[omoshiroidayo]

wow that sounds awful. idont like david garrett cuz 1)he is making classical music for stupid audience 2) stupid people like him, i dont like what stuoid peple like.

[barbara4221]

@omoshiroidayo David Garrett is making classical music appealing to an infinitely wider audience and it only stupid people who can't appreciate that!

[jnewburger]

@barbara4221 It's no measure of stupidity. It is terrible that it is acceptable to drastically alter an artwork in order to make it appeal to a greater audience. Imagine re-painting Picassos in order to make them appeal to school children. Composers intend to have their works interpreted by the performers, but Sarasate surely never envisioned a violinist changing the structure, tone, instrumentation, etc. Let's not call it "ruined classical music". Lets just not call it classical music at all.

[47fiddle]

Pablo Sarasate must be turning in his grave! Somebody needs to shoot the drummer!

[47fiddle]

Pablo Sarasate must be turning in his grave!

[Kamasutragirl]

schlimm. ganz ganz schlimm für alle geigerohren.

[sunriselg]

Does he have a camera on his head to film his playin?

[Boeing1991]

sounds like he just massacred the original!

[246trinitrotoluene]

glad to see a fun song like this played for a newer audience

[givemehugmarty]

3 people don't have taste. XP 38 do. :)

[ducdecremone]

sei un vero fenomeno della natura David Garrett! bravo!

[ethiolove123]

I like this music but I like it better when Esther Kim played it.

[Hinata2845]

David Garret plays well, but I don't like this version of classic music.

[cirecsc]

@Hinata2845 but, he's still so much ebtter than vanessa mae. I swear it xDD

[barbara4221]

@Hinata2845 What a shame.

[Hinata2845]

@barbara4221 I'm not going to apologize because of my taste in music.

[ganaj88]

super

[joniguitar9]

OK what I wanna know is what song doesn't David know how to play..and all by memory..wow!

Joni

[246trinitrotoluene]

@joniguitar9

the hardest songs to play come easiest by memory because you've probably practiced it 100s of times before a performance.

[joniguitar9]

@246trinitrotoluene --True..but it's amazing..every note is captured. I'm amazed at all the talent I hear on classical radio station out of Boston, MA...amazing...I'm teaching myself "The Irish Washerwoman"--I hate looking at the paper..so I'm just doing by ear.--Joni

[Lennox0902]

I love Sarasate and i love David! He plays it so wonderful, it´s just incredible....

[noonescrying]

@Lennox0902 He's such a fuking waste of talent and that stradivari, such a waste in hands of that (him), have a guiness record won't make him the greatest violinist, never. You should listen Perlmann dude, or Heifetz... if you really apreciate romanticism or (in general) classical music, you'd note how stupid is your coment. Sorry, isn't just an opinion from me. Think about it. Greetings.

[lalalino100]

@noonescrying Love music is just not enough ... you need brains to talk about it . Are you a frustrated or just stupid?

[noonescrying]

@lalalino100 Wooow mrs. Clever, i didn't know that brains were needed ¬¬ idiot. Who said "i love music" shit head, educate yourself and avoid show how shameful you could be, smooth brain haha. Apreciate is not love, it is realism of performers and history, as i said, educate yourself and get so brain please, for the good of humaity.

[lalalino100]

@noonescrying Just take your pills, man..... 

[noonescrying]

@lalalino100 for sure Dr. Lee King Mai Deeck haha

[waikikit2]

@noonescrying .... U cannot compare david with those wonderful violinist like Perlman or heifez... Even Esther kim plays better than him!!! ^.^ (Playing not according to what the composer's want... tat's David Garreth)

*** Maybe they will say... yeah becoz he plays with his style.... lame excuses***

[noonescrying]

@waikikit2 Well,you're right about that, but in matter of violin music and the works he's playing, is awfull how he plays (musicly), and saying he's wonderful or incredible or stuff like that make so much disapointing bout that personn. Greetings

[blackfusion100]

Oh my gosh that's so cool! The thing on his head is a camera?! Haha that is AWESOME! David Garrett is awesome!
