  • He spoiled such a beautiful piece :(

  • Beautiful...

  • corny

  • Handel just farted in his grave...

  • @Henhouse2005 he shat all over himself...

  • Revolutionary. That's the word. Does anyone remember what people thought of Mozart prior to his death, when he became a legend?

  • I'd say "At least they didnt dubstep it" but sticking your anus to something and shitting on it with hernia-inducing strain is the same no matter how you look at it.

  • Handel wouldn't be amused

  • Maksim is awesome !

  • Thank you very much ! ---d(◕ _ ◕)b----

  • qué basura!

  • magnificent !!

    the way he connect different instruments is actually not very easy and not boring cause there'e lot of changes .. piece of art

  • J'adore j'ai utilisé cette musique lors de mon mariage pour la fontaine à champagne et ce fut un moment magique. Vraiment merci

  • What a shame! The piano strokes begin so beautifully and delicately...before everything morphs into COMPLETE SHIT.

    This butthole improv. gets 2 smegma-smeared thumbs down!

  • Liszt was known to interpret other composer's in such a way that he thought no one else would be able to play them. Song writers today have 'remade' classical pieces all over the place, sometimes slapping some lyrics in and those songs were at one point topping charts. He may be one in a million artists/musicians doing the same, but he's good at what he does. He's an excellent pianist with extraordinary talent. Is he the best? probably not, but let's not bash him for creating art, shall we?

  • @Helzivsymph This is not Liszt. He is not an excellent pianist, he has no talent, plays more like a ten yeard old giving him the benefit of the doubt. Why is he pissing people off taking the best classical pieces and turning them into shit.

  • @36beachbum If it takes no talent to play this, then I'm challenging you to post a video on youtube of YOU playing this, or anything that this guy has ever played. If you don't like it, then move on and spare yourself from looking like an idiot.

  • @Helzivsymph Thanks for that comment! I am tired of people acting like experts myself!

  • @36beachbum Envy?? LoL....

  • @ronandali Envy this? LOLOLOL that cracks me up, your man's sooo bad and this sucks soooo much the video should be banned. LoL maksim's classical pieces are poopy.

  • Comment removed

  • bravo !! tous les ans, je la remets sur ma page de facebook.

  • The dogs bark, the caravan passes.

    Maksim Mrvica and orchestra, congratulations on your beautiful work!

  • I think it's beautiful.

  • Pure talent.

  • I really don't see what's wrong with this version... it sounds REALLY GREAAT

  • Art is a form of expression in any form, "and for all the uneducated in the room, Handel is before the classical period" However the beauty of classical music is that due to the fact there are no actual recordings, each peice is open to any interpretation. This is a beautiful composition and is expressed with grace. it is your own opinion of this work, like or dislike. But to critique it with hostility is only proof of your own ignorance towards art and artists.

  • @ssjhobbes Your treatise is as bad as this performance - it's all bullshit LOL

  • @mgbrad3388 And your words are as foul as your veiw on music. It's quite clear you havent studied much.... Lets have a little share time shall we? Can anyone explain to Mr. Mqbrad what a treatise is? I feel he has misused the word...Thanks for helping me expand his vocabulary

  • @ssjhobbes foul words? not from me dude. you likely studied disco and how to screw up the best classical music, like this guy does. this is perverse, an abomination!

  • @ssjhobbes I love you.

  • c'mon people listen to music and don't bullshit, if you don't like it why should anybody care?! click the dislike and that's enough. who are you to judge that this is terrible, guy is playing his music and for him it's good and that's all that matters.

  • Perversly treated... Really bad taste....

    

  • Thank you for your performance and for keeping renewing music, so that it can reach more people!

  • @lightsoprano Are you serious?! if the music needs to be warped like this to reach more people, its obviously not reaching the kind of people that it was intended for, which is classical music listeners.

  • Who knew that one day, Handel's Sarabande sequence would be so ridiculously abused? That's not a simple rape, that's a snuff film... Because after the rape, the raper also mutilated the victim and trashed it in a dump... Why Art has suffered so much in 21st century? Stop destroying musical masterpieces, because that's not an arrangement, but simply a vandalism... Imagive Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' with a green/violet beard painted over it... Is that Art, or a degradation & humilation of it? 

  • Personally, I think Maksim is a great talent. But, in this piece, he has put too much 'show' and too little 'soul'. Note the polite applause at the end. He didn't touch many of this audience.

  • ... красиво 

  • I actually liked it.

  • he's a commercial twat! can't reach dumb kids and their parent cash if it's just a piano piece. you suck max! ;D

  • What a load of bullwank!

  • @AntoineANDonly The only thing horrible here is your black gross behind ;)

  • That's so amazing, but that's sound greatn !

  • creativity brings music. and creativity is boundless.

    blending the classics with 21st century beats is kidda cool. it's totally fine with me.

    those who thumbs down must be some narrowminded old-shcool loser. just sayin

    c'mon open your mind. that's wt music is about. to set your mind free.

    p.s. enjoy it as if you listen to some remix. they'r usually have diff genre to the original.

  • what's this for bullshit! classic with rock, or something like that.

  • My mind just imploded

  • At 0:27 i was like WTF?!!

  • I quite liked it, yes, it is nothing like the original. But I think by putting a modern spin on it, they accomplished their goal quite well. The piano really keeps the song in tune, without the piano man, the song would fall apart.

  • shampoo selling music

  • horror

  • QUE FEO !!!!

  • BIG THUMBS DOWN! ...Wish I could say, "I loved it" but I can't...a masterpiece is a masterpiece because it is perfect. By making such a vast variation to Handel's Sarabande, you have made this piece less than great...pity

  • Akhirnya tahu juga judulnya...

  • ewww....

  • When I'm down at the gym, I find Maksims music great to work out to. I hate the music they play in gyms and, as a classical enthusiast, love the fact I can listen to tracks with a driving beat...

  • WTF?! OH HELL NO! HANDEL, PLEASE FORGIVE HIM

  • perfect in own interpretation, doesn´t exist the one perfect, all are subjective interpretations.

  • <3 Er ist Super!!!!

  • @Kiarartist Er ist OBERGEIL! :o)

  • Pedestrian.

  • su puta madre que fue esta abominacion que acabo de escuchar

  • I like the sound of it, But it really does not stay true to the original mood and feel of the original Handel Sarabande. If I didnt know it was Sarabande, i would love it, but the complete changing of style kinda threw me for a curve

  • haters gonna hate... instead of having life and watching videos they like. simple as that.

  • I would like this better if he ditched the synthesizers, the piano playing is beautiful.

  • Crap.

  • Guys, you're trollin'. How about you try playing the piano this good?

    

  • @Zippy95 You mean this *well*? I could play the piano this well after a week's practice.

  • how can such an excellent musician soil himself with this kind of crap??

  • @bobosqueakers The simple answer is that he is not in fact a very good musician. Certainly not one with any artistic integrity.

  • J'adore !

    C'est magnifique je trouve :)

  • LOLLLLLLLL Don't know if I should laugh or cry! This is SOOOO BADDDDDDD !

  • For all people. He didn't ruin masterpiece of Handel. This is just a modern variation. Just a variation. Get over this. Masterpiece still exists.

  • @limitedbitch Ok, the masterpiece is still there... but this is still quite terrible! If you want to make a modern version, I think you have to do it properly,

  • @chapeauelesmirriau and what is the proper way of doing that?

  • @chapeauelesmirriau... peple will never agree when discussing. You have to understand that there is no proper way to make a modern version. Everybody makes his/hers own version.

    And if some version is labelled as modern, for me, that is the sign that it has become commercialized and under the influence of wrong thinking what is good and what isnt. See, this is only my opinion.

    But, as they say: De gustibus non est disputandum.

    But can you answer how to make a modern, proper version of this?

  • @limitedbitch Oh i agree completely, there is no single "proper" way to do anything in music. I tell you what, this piece lends itself to some dramatic modern dance version in the spirit of this one. What i don't like is that he's done an arrangement which doesn't add anything. He's chosen a simple beat, instead of sticking to the melody, he's improvised extremely obvious melodies 0:54 which are a let down. If music is building of tension and surprise... he's not manged that at all.

  • @chapeauelesmirriau I agree with you, I know this isnt the best version, not even a version that would, when listen to, cause the WOW effect ;) This is commercialized version but good enough to relax since I found Handels version a bit heavy and dark.

    Ohooo this actually means that we agree :D

  • ...just to relax..like his other song.. EXODUS. listen to this one. Way better that this one.

  • @limitedbitch have you heard parkening's arrangement for guitar? /watch?v=NuM0tUrEY0I&feature=r­elated (better when played by him but i didn't find it in youtube)

  • @chapeauelesmirriau yeah, not a fan of guitar that much :) Piano is my love, even though i didnt play it for several years. i have heard some arrangements from him, love the greensleeves!

  • oh. my. god. I almost die at 0:26

  • diferente me encanta

  • Handel and Bongos --- never thought I'd see/hear the day ... lol! I think the piece is a lot more powerful without the other instruments, but maybe I'm just a high-culture slag.

  • COOL and BRILLIANT !!!!!!!

  • да ради бога, кто спорит? пусть меняется и развивается, но зачем поганить такие шедевры? или он настолько тупой в музыкальном плане, что кроме как извращаться над классикой больше ничего не может? пусть делает что то свое или кроме того как читать чужие ноты он больше ничего не может? хоть нот всего семь их можно преподать так, как другие до тебя этого не делали, вот это и называется искусство

  • superbe!!! j'adore

  • wow, increíble, me encantó

  • grandiose!!!

  • пидарасы руки нахуй оторвать и в жопу засунуть за такое извращение над классикой

  • @T0R0A0S0E0R, музыка это искусство! А оно меняется каждую секунду, принимая самые разные облики. Если же стоять на месте, не будет развития.

  • Geez, you have too much time on your hands to be envisioning his wardrobe.. lol..

    I like your idea nonetheless... :)

  • Not that I have any complaints again Maksim's dressing sense, these homophobic nuts on youtube are making stupid comments about him..

    so if I were to dress him, I'd probably make him wear like worn out, low rise, slight boot cut Diesel jeans.. Any old plain tee would do just fine but to add spark to his outfit, I'd add in a soft leather blazer (good fit) and a smart belt.. I'll give him the liberty to choose his own shoes... lol...

  • Me like

  • what a stupid comment. Do you think that you're as good as he is?

  • what a stupid comment

  • he's not that good....at all

  • @oitotheworld23 are you kiddin? this guy is a performer!

  • @oitotheworld23

    r u serious?! geeeeez! ok i do agree that everyone has different tastes, but i'm really surprised to see someone say that Maksim is not good at all. i'm curious to know what you dont like about his playing. what is it??

  • I find the drums and percussion too loud and overdoing it. (And I think this recording is drowning out his piano) But his piano and orchestra arrangements are strikingly beautiful.

  • @yukihir0

    i too find most of Maksim's piano playing drowned by other instruments, and it really annoys me. i adore him playing! i guess most of his success comes from his style of mixing modern sounds with classical pieces, but as for me, i think it's a pity that he doesnt stick to the conservative way of playing. in pieces when it's only him playing the piano, he's a genius.

  • I am sorry, but I do not like this piece. I have no problem with reinterpreting such a great song by a master, but to my ear, the changes that have been made don't jive very well together at times, killing the effect for me.

  • Music as charming as the one playing it. :)

  • he is really talented and despite what you other people think, i like this version. its something different, and i like that.

  • Well, while fully realizing that this was not meant to sound like the original... This piece of work, in and of itself, is AWFUL.

  • This is like rap that samples real music that other people have made.

  • Pathetic as most things in today's England and the UK! Where is the Greatness of Britain gone????????????

  • fucking awful

  • This interpretation is just punishment for Handel's medicority. 

  • se me erizaron los pelitos del pubis!!! increìble!!!!.. 

  • maybe this would make sense without the eurodance beat in the background

  • Proud to be Croatian!! :D

  • kill me.

  • Comment removed

  • Good Lord, people.  He's nothing more than a goth Liberace defiling classical music by making cheesy disco arrangements of it for the uncultured masses.

    His obvious narcissism doesn't help.

    The only people who think his shlock is wonderful are people with clearly no taste to speak of (and likely a trailer full of Beanie Babies.)

  • @Litawyn His outfit is ridiculous. But i do enjoy his playing. I only listen to it because the piano sounds good, regardless of what else is going on. The Attitude and appearance of the player shouldn't matter. The sound quality of the piano in these pieces is fantastic.

  • oh my god its so wonderful

    

  • I like the piano playing, but the drums?? :S

  • Give me a break, mannnnnn!

    Sorry, I really mean it!

  • This isn't Händel so why complain? This is an ancient chordprogression called "La Folia" that Händel himself borrowed to write variations in one of his harpsichord suites.

  • Poor Handel...

  • @Dinoel148 on every video is your stupid comment... you probably don't have a clue wtf piano is... stupid tard... why the fuck are you watching all of his videos then? buy a gun a shoot your self in the foot!

  • This is cool but when the drums first started to play it threw me off... wtf?...but i like it :P

  • Handel's God driven music makes me tear up. What beautiful music. There is a God.

  • handel would have liked this rejouvenating version of sarabande. I can imagine him now kick'g back w/ a glass of wine, grateful that his compositions are remembered 200 yrs. latcan do no wrong......... Maxsim know how to do it. It's just another rendition. He has fun w/ it. I like it. I'd also sell my soul to be able to pull off playing the piano like him.

  • handel would not be proud with this one,it's completely changed(and with crazy background!)

  • Maksim is an accomplished pianist...this is, however, a different rendition of SARABANDE but yet, I liked it...

  • There is a musical inferno awaiting this man in his afterlife

  • why is he wearing crazy gloves?

  • A beautiful piece with a new modern twist.

    Personally my favorite rendering of Sarabande by Handel is still by the national Philharmonic Orchestra. 

    But Maksim is most remarkable.

  • plays fine, but part of the THING in this particular piece is the silence and it`s managment, it gets totally broken, the guy is good and quite recovers thy drama in the last part, the beat is out of place the rest of instruments cool.

    let's see how he manages thy rest.

  • Great remix of this classic song, really inspiring!

  • Masterpiece!!!!!!

  • I found this very enjoyable... Music is what makes us all unique. We all have our unique styles which we enjoy. This is the BEAUTY of music! If you do not particularly "like" this piece of music, don't listen. DO NOT, however, insult the musician or the music he produces. It's not about you, don't be so damn conceited. Music is food for the soul, and everyone likes something different. The beautiful thing about music, is that it's beautiful to he who is creating it.

  • i didnt know criss angel played piano...

    this guy is awesome though

  • that is bad neoclassical music. And the title should be "Handel's Sarabande by Maksim" or something like that.... go see music by stravinsky, poulenc, orff... they composed really neoclassical music

  • @WhiteHuskie66 If this too modern for you, type in Handel's Sarabande, and it will bring up websites, and you will love the first one listed, really beautiful, but all these instruments and band of violinists etc, and God, he doesnt have any sleeves, and has leather bands on his wrists,,, !

  • Its quite interesting LOL...

  • haha wtf

  • awesome

  • Their is a certain level in which you can interpret a song. THe fine line was crossed, when somebody pushes a different emotion or story than the original composer (in this case handel) you are in this case butchering the whole reason for this piece. This song is suppose to be played in a manner of beauty and sorrow but is played as if a adventure is going or a villians theme song.

  • @dontreadthis15 Aren't you glad we all have our own opinions on what "line-crossing" is! To you, it's been crossed, and you can hit the little "x" and move on. To those of us who feel no threat, we can enjoy, everyone's happy! Ah freedom!!!!

  • @dontreadthis15 YOU KIDDING? I FELL FOR HIM.

  • оболдеть просто

  • gutes video bin auf der suche nach meinem traum mann

  • i actually liked the new variations he played, but the drum beat made me puke

  • jajajajaja. good lord. wtf

  • All of these "true" classical fans make wonderful points. Musicians like Maksim should just quit playing the music they love, and let classical music die off, never to be enjoyed by another generation, in it's original form or otherwise.

    That makes -perfect- sense.

  • wtf

  • @WhiteHuskie66 Oh shut the fuck up. Sarabande is nice and all, but it is easy as fuck to play. Nobody is going to crowd into a theater to watch someone play a grade 1 piano piece. This is 2010, if you don't want to be a part of modern times, go step out in front of a bus.

  • ugh... it sounds like Yanni...

  • I think this is a good version. The original is superb but there is no problem in doing variations on a theme. Most composers do this. Well done Maxim.

    I agree with you socalguy2186, but feel that you lost the argument as soon as you started to use the Anglo-Saxon phraseology in your last sentence.

  • he looks like corey duffel haha

  • Blasphemy towards the gods...

  • a way to make appetize for the classical music to the youth... I like this guy very muh

  • very GOOD :-)

  • Très sympa cette version

    I love this version too. Of course, it's less classical, but this guy is a really good one !

  • <33 BravoWoW!!! Marvelous!!! Prima!!! Thank you so much for this stunning performance video*^o^* Brilliant☆ <33 

  • c'est une très bonne interpretation de la saarabande même avec la batterie. Il faut voir si Haendel aurait aimé ça. Cet homme est un vrai prodige au piano.

    Félicitations.

  • c'est une très bonne interpretation de la saarabande même avec la batterie. Il faut voir si Haendel aurait aimé ça.

  • stupid conservatism has always interfered with the progressive thinkers ...

  • Thia bullshit

  • If you don't like this interpretation, you're an angered man who don't really love music and Handel

  • @filsduBaron, im not sure handel would appreciate this being done to his music

  • @Eric1029res Handel did this song with his century "fashion" and I think that if he lived today, He would creat it as Maksim.

    Everybody lives with his time.

    Sorry for my language, I'm french and some words are difficulte to translate

  • Of course, but what I said was that since he doesn't live now, and he was raised in the baroque era of music. So if he could magically hear it when he lived back then, he probably would appreciate it at all. And your english is good, no problems there.

  • haha! i totally thought I was about to get rick rolled :p

  • i totally agree with u isyriand

  • crap

  • Trop d4rk.

  • If you're going to do something like somebody else already has, why do it?

  • @danraj13 Could'nt agree more....every artists dream is to b creative and add value by creating diversity...Even guys like clayderman tried to do this.

  • @danraj13 Yeah, why don't you try urinating upside down, and don't come back to the keyboard before washing up!

  • @danraj13 To me that"s what makes one a good pianist, doing something new without touching to the text (by text i mean the score the composer wrote)

  • subarachi
