F. Mendelssohn: Violin (flute) Concerto in E minor. Part 1/3

[@mskherynn]

I have performed this on Violin, and have never EVER even considered how this may sound on a different instrument!!!! I was a bit curious as to how you would do the double stopping, but I'm impressed with how you did it...BRAVO to you for giving this piece of amazing music a different ray of light...and the higher registers of this piece sound amazingly piercing on the flute! J'adore!

[@Kingfotog]

An absolutely brilliant flutist-amazing natural playing. Everything is there, beautiful tone, great musicianship and technique and articulation that is astounding. One of the best I have ever heard.

[@oxymoron6701]

But how Denis, how? The perfect technique along with the perfect tone throughout all registers.. Mind-boggling.

[@sagarflute]

Ive never heard flute playing like this! Completely out of this world!

[@Kingfotog]

Everything about this performance is superb. Fantastic tome, great musicianship, stupendous technique. There is an excitement in his playing. One of the great flutists of this era.

[@bouriakov]

Yes, trying it out tomorrow for the first time in a concert :-)

[@clarolira]

Warm, sweet, deep and so on! The Sound master! With Dennis everything sounds amazing!

[@rudolphmcneill3333]

Again BRILLIANT!! I'd much rather hear him perform this with orchestra. The piano is much too percussive. I've been listening to the greatest all my life. Rampal being the first flutist I ever heard and the reason I began playing. Denis is definitely one of the greatest to ever play the instrument.

[@TimN-5]

Someone give this man the accompanying orchestra instead of just a piano!

[@ervinolos]

OMG 7:53 incredible technique O.o

[@adltgnl]

One of the best arrangements I've ever listened.

[@LeongLau90046]

Brilliant performance with the emotive content of superlative expressiveness

[@kylekim1004]

My favorite flutist in the world~!!!

[@davidjensenplaysviola]

Great job! I especially enjoyed hearing your interpretation of the chords in the cadenza. Absolutely marvelous!

[@FriedaChan]

the cadenza is absolutely spectacular!

[@badon20]

Absolutely Brilliant! Amazing technique, your articulation is perfect. Your dynamics are right on.

[@mskherynn]

[@Monteverdi1607]

Денис, cпасибо! Из Венгрии. Thank from Hungary.

[@tommasoflute]

very good!

[@abairdk]

I'm an amateur flute player, and this music is one of my all-time favourites. I "wish" I could play this. It's hard to play it as written because the lowest note on a violin is G3 whereas a flute can reach reach B3. The top note on a flute is C7, giving it three octaves. A professional can of course stretch that a little bit higher. The highest violin note I remember seeing this this score is E7, which is beyond my range. You notice he's arranged it a bit to fit the flute.

[@seanmarron9844]

The 5 people who disliked this must be some immensely orthodox violinists lol

[@tty3g]

Sean Marron Omg so true lmao

[@JoshJNYC]

or were just like, peanut butter and JEALOUS :-P

[@Sonia-tu8eo]

🤣

[@241hnd]

Or maybe it was for the pianist.

[@alhdgysz]

Or just we have a sense of style....

[@lji3417]

you're the best ever i've seen!

[@xxthe_rainxx7445]

Just wow. Its amazing

[@АртемТокарев]

Браво!

[@Bencio91]

INCREDIBLE!

[@fgpx78]

Always so nice to hear you!

[@overseaconanfan]

this is mad!!! omg awesome!!

[@knockoutgymnast]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!

[@valeriazaurino]

Bravo!

[@dianasojourner5144]

3 octaves (C4 to C7, plus B3 if the player has a flute that can reach the low B, and C#7-F#7 as sort of a "null" register. The notes B3 and C#7-F#7 can be reached but are rarely ever used).

[@galbilee]

this is amazing. where I could I find the flute transcription??

[@biancamaecovers689]

Mine is from International Music Company New York, edited by Jean-Pierre Rampal, No. 2851 My local music shop had to order it from the US for me because it was not available in Germany :D

[@sagarflute]

Amazing, I instantly was taken back by your playing when I heard the clips on your website. I definitely regret coming the the BFS convention this summer to see you live!

[@SiJing27]

Just here for daily visit :)

[@sukheelim9902]

Bravissimo

[@fgpx78]

We want you to perform in Italy Denis, come and we'll be hundreds!

[@robimof39]

it always surprises me how concerto for other instruments always seem to suit the flute, the sound on recording is overpowering but ive listened to the other recording s of the same place your colours are missing but i know they are there i hope we see you soon on some of the bigger stage i dont think there has been anybody since jimmy with the quality in sound even at speed in the scales but also in projection it always seems to be missing i really enjoyed your playing

[@apmats09]

SUPERLATIVO!!!!

[@emilianobarreto8148]

Increíble.

[@ltschriscrucker]

G7 can be reached (I know since I have reached it), but it's very flat. So Basicly F#7 becomes F7 and G7 becomes F#7. You can find fingering for G#7, A#7 and C8. Wikipedia confirms that it's possible to reach C8. But it's never used. F7 is used in Ibert's flute concerto.

[@38564712]

It is fantastic

[@UrsoTrapani]

And you've done the Mendelssohn too! Fantastic! OK, so when you let me know where I can get the Saint - Saens, you can also tell me where I can get this piece, too! Outstanding! Bravo!

[@johnray920]

Those 9 dislikes are pure jealousy, no doubt

[@pessimystica]

@madi12656 it's definitely not the Billaudot edition. It seems closer to the violin version, esp. the cadenza. Perhaps he just made his own, as i'm doing with some others.

[@Flautorosso]

You are amazing~~~Love it~~~~^^

[@tibipetreanu]

keeee crackkk mi idoloo :X

[@beethoven02]

this musicwas used in the french movie "les visiteurs"

[@davidjensenplaysviola]

How does he hold the G at 2:47?! Excellent, though. : )

[@randolchi]

Unbelieveable technic

[@oboe1999]

когда в Москву с концертом?

[@MrGogoblaster]

Anyone have the sheet music for the arrangement?

[@elijah1024]

can anybody tell me how many octaves does a flute have? i'm a violinist btw.

[@beethoven02]

say, you're good.!

[@DeathcoreDame]

Do you have a CD? I would love to listen to your music in the mornings :) it's a great insperation for me, I just picked the flute back up after a hard part in my life. It's funny how we don't notice the important things till their gone.

[@ryanwinter6761]

Hope things are going better for you now. Are you still keeping up with practice?

[@ellenestpasaunord5023]

Anyone has the partition ?

[@kiara1490]

quando viene in Italia??? :D

[@pattie.violin]

is it too fast?

[@더첼로-s2e]

플륫의 신이 나타났다.

[@SammieW26]

@bouriakov Will you upload it on youtube?

[@carson-ro2lu]

7:53

[@MisonaProject]

7:53-8:14 (!?)

[@carloskimyan866]

omg he must NOT from this planet!

[@simoneprozzo6627]

Chi è il trascrittore?Mi piacerebbe avere una copia.grazie

[@merri9712]

ff Applouse,... really done very welk! i live your way how u playing! color of feeling is missing, and sometimes you breath too loud! nvm this, u are a Great Musician

[@SuperRtek]

well, now I know it can work without a B-foot ;)

[@SlayPlenty]

fakkin beast

[@valeriazaurino]

Al contrario, con un foro più grande è più difficile ottenere un suono grande, perché ci vuole molta più aria...

[@Flutehan]

envy you

[@Misteryflute]

Quello che dici e' certo... e' piu' faticoso...ma quando il suono esce e' una bomba...circa 30 anni qualche flautista si faceva fare boccoletta con maxi buco da un falegname artigiano.tra loro facevano a gara di chi avesse buco piu' grande...piu' fatica,meno dinamica,ma volume e timbro una bomba

[@secons83]

:-O :-O :-O

[@nancizh]

is your father a professional flute player too?

[@powellpicc1985]

I'm not so crazy about this movement... The performers and arranger have done a more-than-amazing job, but it just doesn't sound like a flute work the way the the third movement does. It just...sounds like a transcription. Does that make any sense? It doesn't matter that much, but the third movement is so idiomatic that you could tell me it was written for flute and I'd believe you, which is not the case with this. I'd fear for any player of lesser calbre attempting it, myself included!

[@matildasaccardi7802]

Ma what

[@kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

I play the violin....and the cadenza 16th notes crossing is just too fast....even professional doesn't play it that fast.

[@jakehouston3377]

Shoua Xiong stop criticising such an unbelievable performance of a future great

[@absidyabsidy2727]

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but that instrument he’s playing is not a violin…

[@gasparhunt]

Very nice, pity you don't seem to be 'perfoming' (body language) during the tuttis - sort of spoils visually a very authoritative performance. Who's the accompanist? (maybe it would be polite to mention his name on the video description?)
