Robert Gupta and Joshua Roman duet on "Passacaglia"
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on May 27, 2011
http://www.ted.com It's a master class in collaboration as violinist Robert Gupta and cellist Joshua Roman perform Halvorsen's "Passacaglia" for violin and viola. Roman takes the viola part on his Stradivarius cello. It's powerful to watch the two musicians connect moment to moment (and recover from a mid-performance hiccup). The two are both TED Fellows, and their deep connection powers this sparkling duet.

@jamaq ... Hey guy... wake up... Life is worth living just because we can 'listen' and enjoy how the great masters play. I dont even know how to hold a violin, let alone scrape the bow on it.... am greatly thankful to god or powers of nature that made me blessed with the love of music.... Just because you cant do what others cant do does not mean you are a piece of shit. Thankfully, probably, you dont watch porn either LOL

Would be funny if the crowd was too cautious the second time and had 30 seconds of silence at the end.
