A superb performance -but should lay this to rest

once and for all - he is too good to keep this calling

card in his bag of violin tricks -there is other beautiful

violin music awaiting his talents .

[galexwong]

KITŰNŐ! Ezzel a darabbal több, jónevü fiatal hegedüs próbálkozik "de" megsem közelítik

Baráti Kristóf nagyszerü előadását.

@firedeathterror999  w.h. ernst it`s called the elrkonig

[firedeathterror999]

who composed this?

[ValterVioLinist]

bom desempenho em tecnicas sim

!!

mas poxa isso não precisa exatamente ser tão rápido o soar dos galopes de cavalo não soou o cavalo não corre tanto assim né ele é tecnicamente brilhante mas acho que se ele quer mostrar tecnicas deveria tocar paganini!!

[Soothsayerman]

That is insane. I don't really care for the piece, but the performance is amazing!

[goofeyviolinist1]
