I love his thick and rich sound. He can play the hardest pieces, but clearly he can also interpret easier and more melodic pieces!

Okey Hicago! Zainteresował mnie ten filmik nie tylko z powodu Nicolo Paganiniego. Moje zainteresowanie @tym bardzo przyjemnym filmem jest również z innych powodów, Być może się mylę, ale w Szkole Muzycznej w Opolu pani prof. od skrzypiec - Danuta Sujata wspominała mi o swoim genialnym uczniu, którego nie miałem okazji poznać w Opolu w latach 1972-80. był koncertmistrz tego wydarzenia - Tomasz Tomaszewski. Jeżeli dobrze kojarzę , proszę o bezinteresowny komentarz.

[@mattlacdao3807]

Can someone explain the those things on his eyes? Does normal glasses fall off him out of sheer awesomeness?

[@ericlego321]

Roman made those glasse in a way it reduces his field of vision, helping him to concentrate much easier (according to an interview)

[@thoranv.nilsson5746]

prismatic glasses! Search on it and you will understand

[@vegaalbela1]

There is a video where he explains the glasses. Essentially he designed them himself in order to manipulate his perception of time. Doing so, he alleges, allows him to "have more time" to do the things he wants to do on the fiddle... go figure.

[@neverpaladino625]

is to better see the "hidden" frets. this man is fake, sad peeps like it

[@sbeallvln]

Midori has a recording somewhere, maybe available only in Japan, in which she has this insane, impossible cadenza at the end of this piece. I wish I could find it. Anyone know what I’m talking about? She has a version like this one, too-without the insane cadenza. If that version exists, I would love to hear Roman Kim play it.

[@Sebabo482]

I am always confused why he wears these glasses when playing . Does he have problems with his eyes ? Or is it just a trademark

[@the_jen_guo]

He invented them, supposedly they improve his focus and concentration

[@Chibanah]

those look just ridiculous, I guess he thinks it makes him look special and cool 😂

[@SoundPrecision]

Sound switched from studio to live

[@mariusfelixlange6709]

No...from close mic to church mic...

[@musicarchaeologist2m16]

Я бы посоветовал Роману давать больше дыхания в игре, он играет слишком плотно и ровно по темпу. В погоне за виртуозностью, которая бесспорна, появляется механистичность, что обезличивает музыку. Все должно быть немного неровно - как в природе. Наверное с возрастом придет более одушевленное понимание пьес, которые он исполняет.

[@mishabursh]

Олег, во-во, языком трепать -- не кирпичи таскать. Пусть сыграет.

Those glasses are ridiculous, I can't take him seriously with them,

[@marin4311]

Despite the frets on the violin, and the sci-fi glasses, this violonist is a very good one. Too bad the other players are struggling to stay in rythm. He has a very personal one. His tone is outstanding.

[@mashtali1]

I don't understand those glasses... first time I see this kind of outfit.

[@user-ww2nd4co2p]

I think its because he does so much left hand pizz, which strains the string more, so if a string breaks it won't hit his eye maybe Or maybe he just had a close call with a string break

Since 2016, this device has been studied by scientists in Seoul (South Korea) and Neuwied (Germany), suggesting that it provokes a state of cerebral activity, sharpening the senses and enhancing self-control.

Have a look at the fingerboard at 2: 47 - for example. I think these glasses need to see those marks.
