Apap, amazing cadenza _ 2

[@TheAkizo]

When he started playing the blues this giant smile creeped its way across my face. So much soul in his music. When he started singing I just couldn't have anything but respect for this guy.

[@hamadah4]

Tears of laughter and goosebumps from rapture! Whole world of violinmusic in 8 minutes...BRAVO!

[@Astharonnte]

2023 and still love it

[@danybarrue9669]

Cher Gilles, je vous ai vu et écouté ( bien sûr) à Vigeois, Corrèze, le 21. Juillet dernier et vous m'avez très gentiment signé vos disques. Je suis encore tout émue d'avoir pu vous rencontrer, après presque 20 ans après vous avoir entendu sur votre disque " d'ici et d'ailleurs " avec les Mountain boys. Je m'appelle Dany, habite à Noailles, près de Brive-la-Gaillarde et sans doute ne vous rappelez vous plus de moi. Mais je suis si heureuse d'avoir pu vous rencontrer depuis tt ce tps. Merci pou

[@Violinjunky]

I can't say it's my favorite interpretation but he has undeniable talent and creativity--definitely an artist; many great players don't have an ounce of creativity so I have to admire that ability

[@Boebey]

Bravo for this outstanding performance from the violonist and the remarkable creativity from the composer! It's amazing indeed!

[@darkhusker]

This is rather refreshing in an industry that often tends to take the fun out of musicmaking. Bravo :)

[@altair3feb]

I started whistling with him when he got to the whistling part. :D

[@feniciacia]

a la mierda, recorrí el mundo en 8 min ¡¡qué viaje !!

[@GothFishoo]

merveilleux, magnifique, inimitable!!! et dire que je suis censée jouer ce morceau ^^ je commence tout juste à déchiffrer, mais les envolées tzigano/jazzy/country/irlandesques ne sont pas prévues a mon programme.... dommage

[@depressiveanorexia5694]

true devil violinist .braaaaaaavo!!!!

[@sinamasoumzadeh3930]

Mozart would have loved this!

[@carrottoponcrak]

i wish i could whistle as good as him lol

[@MrsHouse3]

This is my favorite! Does anyone have the one of him playing with his bow between his knees?

[@CrAzzyWak]

I woke up this morning couldn't play my Mozart no more I woke up this morning couldn't play my fiddle no more and tried and tried oooooo

[@mistahimaskwa]

I agree!!! *hears Tom Hulce's laugh from Amadeus*

[@yscslim]

Genius for sure!!!

[@akazhah]

hahaha Apap you are amazing!!!

[@GrizzlyanCristian]

Gypsy/irish/jewish/armenian style Mozart cadenza that has Mendelssohn in it. Gotta be crazy not to love it and even crazier to do so.

[@donesixfour]

@MuseDuCafe each separate piece of his cadenza is a comment or variation on some part of the Mozart concerto's third movement. Apap is a superb performer, and this is an amazing performance. His taste should not be called into question, as many performers before him have incorporated similar techniques as far as the orchestra joining in during the cadenza.

[@saradraganviolin]

You are the best !

[@jcamirob]

He must be hated for what he does but am telling you, he is an artist, Only artist make this kind of stuff

[@HrHTeam]

Totally love this guy

[@dulcevibrato]

Je ne comprend pas pourquoi la salle n'es pas écroulée de rire ! Moi je ne pourrais pas me retenir ! ^^N'emp^che les enchaînements marchent plutôt bien

[@YopsiiVera]

I love it!

[@metteholm75]

That is not a cadenza! It´s a whole concert of his own :-D

[@diacaviolinista17]

HE´S MY HEROOOOO!

[@Schamschi]

I rather think Mozart would be laughing his a** off.

[@MrUptownman2000]

Yes and probably improvise with him!

[@BBRENTTAGHAPP]

he should totally publish his version of the mozart cadenza XD

[@MarlowStardust]

Me too dude, me too...

[@thecritiquevirtuoso]

hmm, there's even some Mendelssohn in there.

[@TheArararararararara]

Perfect.

[@matnagra]

It's very Original!

[@sramtae5820]

[@songsabai3794]

[@RosieRocka]

[@daphnegestin]

[@aprilblossoms4]

Please say namaste for me!

[@PhantomofTheOctagon]

Song at 0:40!...sounds quite familiar, can I have some help

[@anitabel89]

Guys!!! What is he singing here? I can`t understand.

[@fiyii]

What concert is this? :)

[@Gargoloso]

AMAZING!! what is he playing at 3:05 ???

[@virgil-constantin-cristian9836]

Într-adevăr, amazing cadenza! N-am mai văzut așa ceva. Dar a ieșit din limitele normalului. Parcă a băgat și muzică ușoară și asta nu mai este normal.

[@cj200a]

what song is that where he makes that finger style? from 0:40 to 1:35? it drives me crazy, I can't find it anywhere

[@Samgiffywiffy]

Its just a variation of the third movement of mozart's 3rd concerto

[@chinggggggggg]

good

[@soccerguy123456789]

Very nice

[@MegaStefanina]

😮❤👍

[@ajag48]

[@МаринаТрайгель-м4с]

NO CHILL WHATSOEVER

[@supertrululu1]

@marianbooth mozart concerto in G for violin and piano

[@exrick182]

THE NEW MEME HAHAHA.

[@susicreamcheese]

[@anonimarrm]

name the song 3:50? thanks...

[@supertrululu1]

@BBRENTTAGHAPP yeah!!! it would be amazing!!!! i'm playing this concert but is not as funny as this is XD

[@larryrael]

Prokofiev concerto reference at 6:15 and 6:25

[@Charlie_Lionelli]

He looks like Jezus!

[@annakimborahpa]

Anyone who states anything against Gilles cadenza is engaging in Apap smear.

[@Schamschi]

I would probably agree with you if this really were a "combo". But this is only a cadenza, and the cadenza in a concerto kind of "belongs" to the soloist.

[@bine2100]

que que é isso?

[@mayerlacika]

circus.

[@carrottoponcrak]

its a cadenza

[@dmitrijkolbin5737]

!!!

[@carlapoinsettia]

[@MuseDuCafe]

A cadenza is a comment on the musical material, in some proportion so it does not blow all that went before it out of the listener's memory! There's nothing wrong with bluegrass or classical (Mark o'Connor anyone?) This guy is a musical travesty as far as his taste goes. Yes, 'taste' is a real requirment of a better musician.

[@irenah77]

@metteholm75 fail on the smiley face :-D no offence

[@MuseDuCafe]

Clueless that the music is not about him. More show than art, etc. etc. I'm sure we'll see him standing in a row with andre rieu sometime soon, crossober albums, and all the rest. Its no fun in this context at all.

[@thecritiquevirtuoso]

ok... weird

[@matildelualdi8284]

I want @twosetviolin reaction
