Malin Broman x 8 performs Mendelssohn String Octet

[@georgewells1430]

And let's not forget the audio-visual engineer who put it all together.

[@jeaneno6085]

I believe she did it herself.

[@back2back379]

@@jeaneno6085 It's got "sverigesRadio" on the top right the entire time, and it's released by Berwaldhallen and not by her on a personal channel. I'm sure they have expert audio and visual engineers working, credit where credit is due!

[@DrUnreal]

Wonderful performance, just amazing!! And the effort to play 8 perfectly synchronized parts like that, while making multi angle recordings, wow! I'm assuming each part were done on green screen, but it would be nice if a few words were added about the process for the tech curious out there.

[@johnhillescobar]

That's what I was thinking about!

[@LinusBerglund]

@@back2back379 I have a strong source saying she did it all herself. As well as the lightning, makeup and sewing her own clothes. Since she's not a cello player originally, she actually built her own celli (yes, two) as well. Just after building Berwaldhallen.

The performance(s) of Malin Broman on all parts of this brilliant piece, along with the video editing, is simply miraculous. How many of us musicians could perform so well on different instruments of our family, and then find a video artist who so brilliantly ties it all together? Just amazing.

[@EmilyBeynonflute]

Malin - you are AMAZING!! But seriously - sooooo much talent is just RIDICULOUS!!! I love it!!! Brava - hope to see again soon! ❤️

Could someone send this to TwoSet for them to react to? :D

[@barbarabogatin8166]

Most amazing Mendelssohn Octet ever performed--- She played the difficult 2nd cello part as well as the 1st violin part! Does she play string quartets with her 3 clones? Loved the 8 hair styles and outfits.

[@TorAulin]

I have played the 2nd cello part. It is demanding!

[@CelloCircle]

@@TorAulin why is the second cello part hard? :)

[@TorAulin]

@@CelloCircle It is not hard. I said demanding!

[@PhilipMoorePianist]

Insane! You crazy Swedes! Breathtaking.

[@PeteTheTrumpet]

This is fantastic, from the high-level playing of multiple instruments to the quality of the audio and video engineering - congratulations!

[@lindsaygroves9188]

So, it’s not “doubling.” Is it “tripling”? But with the incredibly distinct personalities, the tall extrovert 1st violinist, the industriously crunchy 2nd cellist, you should get paid for “octupling”! You have made parents who say, “Just pick an instrument and stick to it!” look ridiculous forever!” What a joy!

[@StuartSimon]

It’s “octupling.”

[@cullywilcoxon3321]

This is brilliant, and brought tears to my eyes! What absolute, pure joy and fun! I have shared this on Facebook and I hope it ‘goes viral,’ as they say - not that we need any more viruses. The playfulness of the whole project is marvellous, and the technicians who did the production did their work flawlessly. Quite amazing.

[@performancesolutions1659]

O´shit! This is one of the best I've seen and heard! Not only is it fantastically played straight through, it is so nicely filmed and edited that I am amazed. And then I have still seen most things in concert video. I was actually more than moved to tears when I saw this for the first time - and I will be now again ... // Nalle Rösell former Sweden manager DECCA and Phillips Classics.

[@dariusgoh5314]

Amazing work by the audio and visual engineers… it LITERALLY sounds like she’s playing with 8 clones live… no hint of any stitching together or cuts

[@davidsmith779]

Did she get eight performance fees? Just kidding. It was an amazing performance, not just on stage but the talented technicians, directors and producers doing the recording and the editing. It was seamless. I particularly enjoyed the little moments when the "various" performers seemed to interact with each other -- make eye contact etc.

[@alinakhvatova6577]

Absolutely stunning! I hope to be as proficient at all the instruments as Malin one day!

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

This is already difficult to put together as separate musicians. Now even though Ms. Broman has an idea of the interpretation in her head, it is still *very* difficult to put it all together without headphones. I am super impressed! I can only achieve such a recording using headphones, or else I'm out of time and maybe have intonation problems. I could perhaps watch myself conducting off screen (not visible when filming) but it's distracting. This video is great. A perfect example of what can be created :)

[@ericshumsky9120]

Absolutely amazing and highly artistic as well!

[@genehuangviolin]

Incredible! I’m wondering how she filmed the individual parts and kept them in sync. I don’t see any of her personas wearing an earpiece...

[@gennadygefter4011]

INCREDIBLE !!! Hard to believe this could be done, but in reality it does EXIST . BRAVISSIMO !!!

[@davidhurtado2725]

[@peterstein7155]

Brava! The musicianship, audio mixing and visual "stitching" work beautifully together. If you want to see one tiny digital flaw (which I actually appreciate because it makes the 8-fold performance more real and reveals the technology a bit), go to 4:00 to see where the violin's scroll disappears for a bit in the center of the screen to make way for the violist's elbow.

I must be missing something - for one thing, the "violists" were quite a bit shorter than the violin 4 (and concert master.) And the glasses? Was that only to help create the illusion of different people? But what really got me, was the clear "watching" and "playing with" (visually) each other, whether adjacent to or across the stage. And then the slap hands at the end! I believe that someone is skilled enough to play the parts extremely well, but the interplay was too palpable to be merely digital images imagining each other!!! If someone wants to explain, I'm all ears! Thanks!
