Gilles Apap - Another Amazing Video - Great Encore

"this guy is a freakin' genius! breaking so many boundaries and traditions, although some people may find this offensive and unusual, we need more violinists like this today, to be able to be so creative, improvize and tap into so many different musical genres"

@JackyRowe The man definitely does good music thanks for passing it along he's definitely the most entertaining electric violinist I've come across so far.

[JackyRowe]

@Volunteers4awesome Look up Ed Alleyne Johnson. He has ripped the string quartet from it's chambre orchestral setting to the 21st century! His main video on youtube is "Awesome busker in Chester". it'll come up if you 'youtube' "ed alleyne johnson". wonderful mesmerising stuff!

[Volunteers4awesome]

This man and Alex DePue are in my opinion, the two most innovative violinists I'm aware of that are active today. Love it.

@hsl1993 Come on, you have to admit it -- Gilles Apap has a much more down-to-earth approach to performing than most other violinists. And though he may not be technically better than the violinists you mentioned (though he is by no means inferior, and is certainly better than Joshua Bell), he is much more entertaining.

[hsl1993]

@wiscsnowlover that would be a stupid comment. what makes you think that classically trained traditional violinist are less "human" than he is? Itzhak Perlman, David Oistrakh, Gil Shaham, Joshua Bell...Gilies Apap is great, and he is a wonderful violin player, but stereotyping other violinists to be not human just because they don't HEAVILY experiment with country music and fiddle music is a very, very bad idea.

and what is the last one? chikrug, once someone tells us, you should put it in the video description box, for other people to see :)
