I guess it is quite off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?

@Walter Major Thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!

[@ruefffrazao8806]

My female student watched this and she feels inspired. She just learned how to play bass a year ago and made All-County this year.This is exactly what she needed to see and hear. She is now dressing up as the first female bassist (whoever that is) for our Women's Tea Party at the school. Thank you.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

That is adorable! Thank you for sharing that with me. If I can help with anything please let me know :)

[@nicholasr-m1631]

0:43 she really cut that gliss off and paused a bit to build it up. probably one of the best bass interpretations i have ever seen. well done!

[@nicholasr-m1631]

1:45 that run is enough to crush my self esteem for about 2 years holy crap

[@Superkamirucker]

Excuse me while I hang my head in shame and sob silently into my bass in my practice room...

[@nicholasr-m1631]

i felt that on a personal level

[@USCbass]

So great! and proud of you Lauren!!!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+Craig Butterfield This is my amazing teacher, everyone! Thank you so much Craig :)

[@tianhongzhou8065]

@@LaurenPierceBass thought you were born to know how to play bass haha

[@Aki-tu2pu]

0:44 that gliss gave me goosebumps! Really well done!

[@Boris1878]

Ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass am Gitarre & Kontrabass den “Czardas” von Vittorio Monti so warm klingen kann ! Meine Ohren beginnen fast zu glühen !

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Those high notes had a nice humanly sounding :O Great work, didn't know about the double bass, beautiful instrument

[@mouluc9969]

Verónica Darrell Yes you did, in jazz probably...

[@romeyjomey4539]

Mouluc SHE SAID SHE D I D N’ T K N O W!!!!!!! comprendre?

[@topsecret1837]

Gitana Maldita Perhaps you heard the cello? It’s this things little brother, with the same range as a guitar.

[@prometheus23c]

Today in my music lesson I learnt that you have to play every single with absolute love, or else there is no sense in making music. Now I come here and watch this video and I understand what my teacher meant. Thanks for posting this!

[@matthewv789]

retro Listen to Mikyung Sung playing at the 648 house concert for another example of playing every note with love. Absolutely gripping and emotional.

[@ellerycollier239]

I'm never gonna be able to sound that clean and fast on bass! Thats so impressive

[@YouZilaTak]

00:44 Main blow The best thing i heard this Year for sure ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@georgealvey]

2:38 my lord what awesome , passionate , beautiful playing . Out of this universe ! Never in 60 years of listening and playing heard anyone play like this ! I’ve heard many of the greats and you are the crème de la creme ! BRAVO

[@sylvainmeneux7266]

That's what I love about KZbin. Random talent finds. Brilliant!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

I am equally as happy you found me! Thank you!

[@lissettesolis9295]

im a female bassist too(playing like 5-6 yrs now), n you're the one who i look up to cuz i rarely see amazing female bass players like you

[@matthewv789]

Lissette Solis Mikyung Sung is a wonderful inspiration also. (Her czardas for instance is at the end of a video for the 648 house concert, following the Bottesini Elegy no 2)

[@dhchemistry]

You two should record an album! I listen to this at least once a week.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+chakrakhan Aw thank you! I'll show this comment to Andrew :)

[@princessjojolove]

i got chills at 0:40

[@patrickthedoublebassist5505]

every time it gets me

[@panoramicviewer]

Lauren, that was amazing and truly inspiring. Seeing you play so eloquently with that high level of artistry has definitely motivated me to keep pushing on the bass. Thank you girl!!! Please post more videos whenever you can! Love this

[@LaurenPierceBass]

I'm so sorry for the late response. Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope your musical journey is going fabulously since you left me this comment! xx

[@danielnagy6477]

Although I've seen this video several times before I really like to return here as you show the perfect example of how to play emotionally yet not overdoing theatrics on the character of this piece (which I notice watching some of bassists). I'm practicing the Czardas these times and you gave me a really great inspiration (again), thank you!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Sublime. Just sublime.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Alex Ball Thank you so much! :)

[@zoroforo323]

Beautiful version csardas -Vittorio Monti !

[@zoroforo323]

Hvala lijepa. Meni se sviđa i ta verzija !

[@edmayhew]

I think I just fell in love :) My friends used to be in a gypsy band called Loyko and this brings a strange sense of nostalgia! Only Mr Bradetich could come up with an arrangement like this, really pushing the boundaries of what can be done with the instrument, great interpretation.

[@MG-dd9kj]

Got a wonderful CD by Loyko - best regards to your friend!

[@naderlabib3503]

Great music , I working on Czardas since 3 months on violin , it's not easy but I love it .... Guys you rock

[@LaurenPierceBass]

[@eliomoreno4399]

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+Deyn Angel Keep working hard!! :)

[@joepesce2738]

[@joshhammer7440]

I have to learn how to play this now. it might take 50+ years, but that was amazing

[@imasaint59]

[@ChristopherBolducViolin]

Extremely clean performance for bass. Great playing!

[@juanpablorodriguez6859]

Bravo¡¡ Bravisimo¡¡ Best regards from Mexico

[@chrisredwood1969]

Great performance, well done all!

[@michaelangelo3124]

Lauren, you have the x-factor; passion, precision, a unique personality and more. What's in the near future ?.. symphonic, chamber, recording..... You could supersede Gary Karr as a soloist with your cello like timbre and passion for the music. You are awesome in duos like guitar or piano to breath new life into songs such as these.

[@matthewv789]

Mike Wes I think many bassists today could supersede Gary Karr. He is great and a pioneer but others are even more talented now, and don’t treat bass playing like a joke or stunt, like “ooh, look what crazy things this awkward, lugubrious elephant of an instrument can do!! Haha isn’t it funny?” They treat it like any other instrument to be played beautifully with passion and emotion. Players like Lauren and Mikyung Sung and Bozo Paradzik make you forget it’s supposedly a hard to play instrument with a gruff deep sound, because when they play it’s just beautiful and effortlessly virtuosic.

[@Mitron43]

Thank you so much for posting this! absolutely amazing!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

The RedStone Café™ Aw thank you! :)

[@Benjabenja77]

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+Wanda Betsabe Cano Solis Gracias! :)

[@bobs369]

I love this great work!

[@tonyhunt100]

This is so good it should have millions of views! It's sad most people would rather waste their time listening to "songs" like I'm in love with the Coco, I mean what is going on! Beautiful performance I am truly amazed by your playing!

[@raveniskcrow]

Outstanding, Bravo - you rock the party!

[@K100music]

You're my inspiration!!

[@Indianadixon]

WAHOO! Awesome job! I wasn't sure anyone would have attempted this on bass, much less put it out on KZbin. It's also really cool to see a female double bassist on KZbin.

[@matthewv789]

Indiana Dixon Make sure to check out Mikyung Sung also!

[@pantchuca1]

Tua sonoridade é maravilhosa. Sucesso.

[@Woodtoter]
