Hungarian Dance #5 for Double Bass and Piano

[@ethanshelley815]

I recently had to play this at an all state concert, but I'm a violinist and seeing a bassist pull this off is astounding

ssaBssaB rehtorBBASS watch one of his life videos it's not fake just some weird post editing

[@nonyobussiness3440]

Marvin Wonders he literally records the audio separately, edits it, and plays it over the video. This isn’t live or real per se

[@istvanbenedekat]

I am a Double Bass student too and that is insane. (I am hungarian too😂)

[@timtam6906]

I've never heard someone hit high notes on a double bass so well. They always sound so washed out and crackly, but this sounds very crisp.

[@deejdeej9258]

I think he mentioned he uses special strings because most of the music he plays is geared toward the violin.

[@mortalmeans3510]

@@deejdeej9258 he does and has confirmed

[@user-yb8qb3hc8g]

Double bass is so hard

[@YaamFel]

@@santiagobenitez1388 Lmao no he absolutely does not. Also autotune isn't magic, it can't fix shitty sounding original recordings

[@YaamFel]

@@santiagobenitez1388 you should get your ears checked. He has live performances on his channel if you'd like to check. It's curious how you're apparently the only person picking up on this

[@baka0319]

That awkward moment when you're so good at the bass that people think it a fake computer generated recording.

[@levweksler1819]

It's not because I'm so good, it's because they're so bad!

[@baka0319]

Makes sense

[@thepaintbucket1231]

Lev Weksler well it does kinda sound auto generated because it doesn’t ring like an actually instrument 😐

[@nithilac7192]

As a high school bassist, I just have to say that those chords are heavenly and this guy is absolutely amazing. My section just sends his videos back and forth to each other, wondering if we'll ever be that good. He makes this song, which was actually written for high strings, sound easy for a bassist, and I can tell you it's not.

[@nitis5209]

Wow! This is very impressive in my eyes as an 11-year old bass beginner! You are my idol!!

Amazing. I don't know or care about technique. All I know is this sounds incredible. YOU are incredible. Thank you for posting.

[@levweksler1819]

Thank you Naiya

[@bigbass421]

The mark of the virtuoso... to make it look easy, like anyone could do it. I seldom venture into thumb position. As Clint Eastwood once said in a movie- " A man's got to know his limitations." Thankfully, Mr. Weksler doesn't seem to have many. I just sit here and watch this, smiling broadly. Thank you, Lev, for sharing your gift.

[@mariecamacho3053]

when will I be able to play like this?

[@levweksler1819]

Much sooner than you think, if you'll be serious about.

[@lavone5541]

Marie Camacho I'd say 5 years if you have a high quality bass, strings and training.

[@st0rrya]

Lev Weksler how long have you been playing for? I'm in the Eighth grade, taking private lessons, and hope to go to Julliard school in New York City, which is extremely challenging to get into.

[@carljuvy]

Marie Camacho Anyone can play it like this. I'm somehow getting there, the only issue is I can't produce the sound very well when I go up high on the fingerboard. D:

[@birgith.6101]

I think that it depends on how you train and how your teacher teaches you. I've had bass lessons for 8 years and still practise about 3 hours a day but the training never got me somewhere because my teacher hold me back. So the lessons got waisted. Now I follow lessons from someone else and there is really good process 🙃.

This isn't him really playing it at 0:50 his bow lifts off of the string and you can still hear the notes like if the bow was on the string there is no ring it's as if he never lifted his bow when he clearly did.

[@yankelmoskauer]

Первый раз в жизни вижу контрабасиста-виртуоза такого класса! Контрабасист-виртуоз - это единичный случай в мире. В Москве был один человек, претендовавший на звание контрабасиста-виртуоза - Родион Азархин - но то был крайне специфический случай. У него были гигантские руки (акромегалия) и играл он далеко не так безукоризненно чисто и совершенно. Как случилось, что мы о Льве Векслере ничего не знали? Видимо из-за его специфического жизненного пути: родился и жил в Житомире, играл с братом-аккордеонистом в ансамбле, потом уехал в Израиль, потом переехал в Нью-Йорк. Необходимо написать о нем книгу - контрабасистам она будет крайне интересна!

It is so wonderful to see the enjoyment on your face as you play! Every once in a while, you get this tiny smile, and it starts to light up your face. I think that's something a lot of so called "musicians" are forgetting nowadays. They seem to be going through the motions just to get the views. If *you* enjoy the music, your audience will too. Wonderful performance! Congrats on earning yourself another subscriber! :)

[@bsvsgm]

Amazing! Will u upload another videos?

[@connoro1373]

It's moments like 0:50 (Watch bassists hands) and 0:40 ( watch pianists hands) that make me think that this is just a recording dubbed over. I'm not saying that it isn't you playing the piece, but transparency is due here that you aren't listening to the live recording. Either way, it is impressive.
