Vivaldi's "Summer" Alexandr Hrustevich - WOW

[ploverwing]

I've played (badly, casually with friends) the second violin part for this suite, and know how nasty the first violin part is. This is amazeballs.

Even if you played it “badly, casually with friends” I’m impressed!

I’ve seen this video before and he really is phenomenal. When I first saw it I went down a very large accordion rabbit hole and nearly ordered one from Hobgoblin Music. Thankfully common sense prevailed, god knows I don’t need any more unused instruments cluttering up my life and draining my bank account

Here is another genius at coaxing an orchestra out of a box. You don't even have to close your eyes to see it.

The only thing missing is a long-haired conductor flailing his baton. There are so many talented musicians out there.

That’s absolutely stunning

Again, WOW!! Yes, it's like the entire orchestra in a squeeze box!

O..M..G. !!!
Or, as the Brits would say, “That was rather good.”

Gee, that must have been tough to play!

Don't know if anyone remembers, but used to watch the Lawrence Welk show when I was a kid & wanted to play accordion after seeing Myron Floren. BTW, we're fortunate to have an accordion player in our ukulele group.

One of my friends used to plug his accordion into an amp & played in a rock group.

I used to play violin, and this is a really great adaptation of this piece. Loved it.

I'm also a has-been/never-was music recording engineer. I love how many mics are on this accordion, at least four. I bet making the mix of this recording was fun, too. At least, I would have enjoyed it.
