Ann Marie Calhoun vs Samvel Yervinyan - Must Watch

[lilliththebrunet]

Hah! Awesome! Samvel rocks though :))

[animaniac126]

2:06 wolf whistle nice XDD

These two are seriously talented, I love both of their individual styles already, when they go back and forth it's just awesome.

[funkster007]

Beautiful playing on both ends. Who's better is all a matter of opinion. Nuff said.

[mommi1989]

No description available - Not Description Possible is more like it !!! Eargasm with a touch of epic disbelief

[TheAltureus]

They are both amazing violinists, whose talent I would only dream of having. Samvel's playing is just mindblowingly fast, Ann tries to keep up but just quite can't reach his speed. In the beginning I liked Ann more but then as the duet went on I liked Samvel's more. With Ann's playing style more smooth and connected like a love song, and Samvel's style more quick and jagged like a middle eastern influence. Happy listening.

[stratocaster1986able]

Personally I preferred the chicks playing.

[UmutZoroglu]

You touched my heart you touched my soul.

[ques4estas]

obviously samvel is technically better...but boobs win! sorry...

[maukabud66]

sure the violin playing is awesome...but I just seem to melt away the very second Ann undoes her hair...that woman is absolutely, outrageously gorgeous!

[MrEssa99]

guys do u know which concert is this?

[TheAmaranthgirl]

samvel is just.... EPIC :D

[shimegami621]

Two of the best violinists ever. The only problem I have with Ann Marie in this video is that she keeps turning her back to Samvel, who faces her the whole time. I think that's a bit tasteless if you're playing a duet with someone and you can't face them - or at least make an effort to not turn your back to them - throughout the song.

HOWEVER, I have seen this song live, and she no longer does that.

[021086hayk]

Samvel is win

[021086hayk]

helo from Armenia

[hateash101]

love how samvel just flicks his hand at 1:16 before bustin out some speedy notes

[Yenasty5]

btw what dvd is this from? id love to watch the full concert

[Yenasty5]

Awesome musicians, everyone in the video not jsut the violinists. Much respect

[ErgiKame]

She's really great but Samvel is still more accurate and has a better technique =)

[quedizni]

I really like Anne's playing and she totally rocked with Steve Vai (my favorite guitar player all time) on Where The Wild Things Are.

[Yenasty5]

I know, i first saw her during the crying machine and i was completely blown away by her performances, she stole the show during that song if you ask me, vai couldn't stop smiling whenever she played!

[8alegria]

Awesome!! Some of you, please save your nasty comments for yourselves & don't rain on everyone else's parades. Your demeanor doesn't become you...

[pajasper]

Samvel is a bit better. But this was incredible.

[simonmyrockinparis]

I wonder, how can this video be disliked... wtf... it must be a bug.

[Staplesz]

arousal sustained

[dxuhuang]

wow.... just wow... how much of this song was improvisation?

[TheChorniy001]

Samvel best

[tecana88]

1:23

yanni and that look !!!

samvel you are a bad ass looooool 

[jcmoralesa1]

Ann Marie Calhoun, se equivocó de profesión debería dedicarse al dancing table en algún de bar de Las Vegas.

[pajasper]

@jcmoralesa1 Usted es una verruga de primera clase pene cubierto de grasa

[Safeguarded]

This just gave me a hard on

[m7medmo]

watch?v=By26V_HPwGI

Yanni - Within Attraction (Live at Acapulco, Mexico) - HQ

[THETRAKINAS2011]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!



[karo00773]

samvel superrrrrrr

[Churrosmano]

What is the name of this Show?

[ABshookme]

They should make a 3G... or 3V with Alex DePue. Wouldn't be great. 

[TechnoLeak]

Why do they have to put some crappy backing track and try to act cool? Why don't they just play the violin with some damn dignity.

[parapar12345]

@mzmadmike what you see him playing (playing on D&G strings) does not match what you actually hear (A&E strings). i do not know if you play the violin but i guess it is easier to tell if you are a violinist.

[bsbssb1]

Of course Samvel is better.. But i like Ann Marie much better than Samvel! she's so cuteee!! :*

[fairshyte]

Astonishing!! they both have god-like playing skills

[parapar12345]

... its playback unfortunately... watch at 1:30 and you can easily tell....

[mzmadmike]

@parapar12345 what am I looking for?

[MrGlofad]

by the way , Samuel is a very good violonist when it comes to oriental music

[Consequentiality]

@car9melo

You know, I'm listening to this and they play about the same speed the entire time except the beginning where she opens it up is all

Raping their instrument?

Severely incorrect, they're obviously both truly loving their instruments and playing with their whole heartedness

Sure, she looks graceful while he looks stern

But obviously your musical knowledge does not broaden beyond saying,

"Oh she looks AND sounds good playing that violin!

Screw the other guy, he's not the same!"

[zappfripp]

Jean Luc Ponty

[Phyoomz]

Melodies are awesome!

[kelmalvarez]

Excelente interpretación de ambos...!

[BelethRising]

This is amazing.

[84anyuta]

Armenian talent Samvel Yervinian! You are Great !

[EmptyEyesAccuse]

what song was that??!!

amaazing!!

[SkiMaskNinja]

AMAZING UGHHH YUSSS I JUST GOT A HARDON

[jesus10111997]

ok a world renowed violinst(samuel) got beat by that girl

[larra21reid]

Sounds like a cute couple fighting LOL.... Love it!!! Thumbs up ;)

[abizzel63]

Ann Marie Calhoun = Connie Souphanousinphone

[MusicianOf76]

car9melo, I think you dont know much about violins. That guy who you think is raping his violin is Samvel Yervinyan, one of the greatest violinists of our times. I suggest you watch his other videos before you comment, just because you like the chick. The 'chick' is Ann-Marie Calhoun who is a great violinist herself. They are not just guys and chicks.

[car9melo]

@MusicianOf76

it doesnt matter who he is

im commenting on this video not on any other

and in this video she sounds alot better then him

[car9melo]

that chick sounds so much better than the guy shes making love to the violin

while hes just raping his

fast isnt always better

[ObscureHarmonic]

@car9melo No but sometimes violinists can play fast and still sound good. (startling new concept) Also refer to the comment above yours.

[car9melo]

@ObscureHarmonic

no shit

and yet here he is playing fast and sounding crap

[ObscureHarmonic]

@car9melo Of course. And that's why he is a world renowned violinist. :D

[GottaLoveIt96111]

@car9melo your honestly very dumb. enough said.

[car9melo]

@GottaLoveIt96111

um no your honestly dumb

[GottaLoveIt96111]

@car9melo how am i the dumb one? explain....

[MrGlofad]

@car9melo , it's not called raping , it's music of the heart . samuel is the greatest violonist in the world , in a kind of music, he have to improve himself & about ann marie, she's a great violonist as well , but as she's a soft lady, she has to be soft with her violin.

David Garrett, may be raping his violin, but to be honest \, i do respect him because he's a musician & he respect as well the language of music.

so a note for you my l friend, watch another clip for samuel & change your mind

[iir0nii]

@car9melo I have one word for you..IDIOT.

[car9melo]

@iir0nii

and i have 2 words for you FUCK FACE

just another one of these cry babies who believe just because he is Samvel Yervinyan he sounds better in this piece which he doesn't

[ein99999]

My chin has fallen and my tounge is on the floor. Just kidding. they both have nice style and they are both talented that was really nice.

[animefan12sam]

whats the name of this song?

[iyermaheshwar]

@marakipatra90 : yes. the other version i was talking abt it also available on youtube. search for 'within attraction' and its the thumbnail of a lady violinist in orange dress

[eflor13]

awesome just awesome

[iyermaheshwar]

these two are good... samvel is a notch up even.... but i still prefer the duel between karen briggs and the iranian violinist (sorry forgotten his name)... that had venom.... and i was actually surprised their violins didnt start smoking and burst into flames....

[marakipatra90]

@iyermaheshwar is there this version you mentioned on youtube?

[iyermaheshwar]

@marakipatra90 yup. just search for within attraction - karen briggs. female violinist in an orange dress.... awesome music.... not very different from this one but their style and expressions are just awesome....

[ryuuku09]

Samvel Yervinyan is Brilliant! No doubt marie is an amazing player too but she is humbled by yervinyan's grasp

[rajgill2020]

calhoun i am impressed the way u layed the violin and showed ur command u got over the it. you played in this video with soul and u were involved in it. splendid!!!!!!!!!!! may you prosper more and more.

[TizhaLop]

24 persons.... don't know nothing about good music... thumbs up if you're agree!!!

[leothemast]

@TizhaLop totally agree

[Niazuke]

For someone reason I thought that @ 0:32 he pulled out the middle finger

[crazycellist973]

Her violin has a better sound :-)

[zStorm100]

samvel is the BEST!!

[ManPuppyDotCom]

Calhoun is splendid

[toniapostolova]

strast i magiata na muzikata...bravo..

[fivestarsam]

Jan Samvel Jan !!! 

[crislaynecramos]

Magnifico, esplendido, a performace de Ann Marie e Samvel, o som maravilhoso e um charme perfeito. tocam muito...

[wad9addaw]

f*** you too

[Memkiss]

So many good comments and still noone has praised the godlike pizzicatos? They're simply stunning! Both violinists are incredibly talented!

[Motomura4571]

i was smiling the whole time

[Asso993]

forse sono io, forse è che il suono del violino mi fa impazzire, ma qui sembra quasi che si stiano parlando, che spettacolo per le orecchie

[NONAROSSA]

phenomenal the dialogue between the two violins

[NONAROSSA]

they're both GREAT but what the heck are they playing?

[MastaDamascus]

@NONAROSSA The piece is called Within Attraction, this is only a small part of it. I suggest listening to the whole thing, for it really is a wonderful piece.

[sourjyasarkar]

Awesome !

[armin199191]

I'm Armenian and I always will be proud of you Samvel!!! Bravoo!!!

[macleod1592]

This is just freaking awesome!

[nothing4161]

which concert is this?

[ZayinAyin]

@nothing4161 live at Acapulco - Mexico

watch?v=By26V_HPwGI there is the complete song

[nothing4161]

@ZayinAyin thankss:)

[hakarusuo]

Samvel 4ever :D

[tdlewis103]

great, sure, if your talented and skilled- what about the rest of us... :'(

[Kawsar98]

Love the contrast! 

[arax00]

I think that samvel is better than her. Go Samvel !!!

[arabianflow]

This is too good!!!! <3

[THEhorde117]

K.O.! WINNER: idk lol

[masiha1372]

i miss Yanni's old haistyle too. i agree with gogban

[Kizales]

Just to think.... All violinists sound like shit when they first begin playing.......

[ToxicSkyshark]

Titanic duel!

[Guitslinger59]

Watch Samvel's face during the tradeoffs, she makes him work.

[mairasoto1]

Simply Beautiful

[88saphira]

Man....the gal's a ticking time-bomb.......super hotttttttt ;)

[georgemargaris]

I like how the first notes Samvel plays directly hit into the heart of Yanni... haha

[vmuradian100]

Samvel is the best, he is a great and talanted musician..... by the way he is Armenian and me too.

[shnusik]

волшебно...он самый невероятный музыкант!!!самый великий!!!!!

[NateDaBear]

Amazing, I'm not a violinist so I'm really curious as to how they made the violins sound kinda like saxophones

[feck0yew0betch]

lmao Yanni is so gay. He has music orgasms. And the female violinist is just ridiculous

[abhilashmusic]

she is nothing......samvel is very aggressive and fasts movements in his finger but i love karren

[122294leelem]

Samvel could play from 2:18 to 2:24 and still get my vote on whos better.

[TheAssimilater]

i love the whistle sound at 2:08, lol

[GAkopyan31]

Is it just me, or does the new Yanni look make him look kinda like Willem Dafoe? Well, a more handsome one? =)

[IlovelouisDTV]

yanni's jeopardizing his career by refusing to grow back his epicstache

[elfahar]

oh, god



[shivan9649]

karen briggs yanni rosarito baja Mexico

[shivan9649]

Karen Briggs is very good

[TempestVortex]

No matter what people say, Samvel will always win!

[car9melo]

@TempestVortex

fuck off the chick was way better

He just played fast but it sounded like shit

[TempestVortex]

@car9melo

for one, you could be a little nicer in saying it. second, for christ's sake, it's just an opinion.

[Sumtinrandom]

my head just broke

[marineterminater08]

if i had to chose i'l say Samvel won but over all Yanni won he has both of them

[emran90]

i never get bored of listening to this 20 times in day..I`m violinist too and i`m amazed of this solo abilities of the both..The`re OUT OF THIS WORLD !

[Slooded]

the name of please please ?

[peterbean]

SAMVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEL,,,,,,,you are the Violin God, or Beast or whatever, what a character, he is actually fooling around between styles. WOW

[oganesyanaram]

samvel! thumbs uo if u agrre with me :)

[Guitslinger59]

Damn, that was HOT! Got introduced to her from Vai. Found out she doesn't live very far away from me. Nothing like witnessing two masters cutting heads.

[lisasantosbuffet]

maravilhosoooooooooooooooooooo­oooo 

[vrejian]

Fantastic ..

[atawalkman]

Within Attraction

[theori93]

what is the name of this song?

[madushan87]

The 20 idiots who down rated are either deaf or their speakers weren't working...

[zoro19840]

Where this concert happened ... ?!!??!

[merman4]

the older violinist ist one show off, it almost seemed like he was trying to out-do the woman especially with that left hand pizzicato

[88girlboy]

close your eyes, just hearing...

[fizetr]

Ann Marie Wins for me because her expressivitty, i think that women are more expressive in the instruments and the men are more virtuosso, i think that the expression makes you dream and cry, the virtuosism just amaze you

[hbadalyan]

@fizetr You wanna feel expression, search Until The Last Moment by Samvel Yervinyan and see if any woman, or anyone for that matter, can express herself with an instrument like he does... Or it's right to the right of these comments... just click on it.

[MGSPhilly]

This ciip from the concert was filmed in Acapulco at the Forum in 2009, just before the Yanni Live in South America tour starting in September 2010 with performances in Santiago, Chile, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a November 2010 performance in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. He's at Atlantic City this Friday (April 8th), followed by Radio City in NYC on the 9th. Then he moves throughout the United States on a very rigorous one-gig, one -city tour.

[sinnerarm]

@yagoranderson You are funny guy :)

[GroovusX]

Samvel pwned her...but Ann Marie is WAY hotter.

[KmoMalagonDC]

Primera vez que veo un video de este tipo y me fascino, estupendo en todo el sentido de la palabra :)

excellent!

[oxnaxx]

Thats yanni concert in acapulco mexico right

[vahenko]

Nice Duel !! hahaha

[juiceyfruit77]

[vishva8kumara]

I wish I was in the audience..

[negochristian1]

omg, at 2:25 there's Donald Trump at drums :))

[turkbros]

oh god please dont compare this annoying woman to Samvel. Anyone who can read notes and play them understands how samvel kicks her ass far far far ahead. and i hate the way she moves, she does that on purpose and thats pretty fking annoying for a violin player

[Faaiint]

@turkbros wow...

[echelonsoldier08]

@turkbros haters gonna hate.

[adept17]

great video

[Archronos1]

The man who gave this video it's title knows little to nothing about music.

[mrspeechless100]

[cmak5]

[adriaDythea]

wow i can actually tell a difference betwen his and her violin,his part is strong and fast hers sounds a little more soft and and slow.

[TheMetalofilia]

exactly in the 2:01 samvuel face was likee "pff fuck you! I'm a violin god!

[gogban]

[heifetsg]

@gogban Yeah.. he was like a porn star from the 80's

[arilyta]

@heifetsg jajajajaj tienes razon jajajaja

[MrBeReasonable]

@gogban no just his hairstyle....i miss his old style in music also.

[Bobbychico1]
