Roman Kim - Ballade "Dies Irae"

[@misterbg1]

Can you please record all the Paganini caprices, all the Ysaye Sonatas and all the Ernst Etudes? I would buy the shit out of that.

[@heifetzcollection]

and the Wieniawski too !

[@misterbg1]

@@heifetzcollection been 3 years, I somehow lost confidence. Lol.

[@josephotoshi]

Commenting so as to *hopefully* get Roman Kim’s attention 😁 I too would definitely buy the crap out of those recordings btw haha

[@josephotoshi]

@@InsaneViolin Honestly Mr. Kim, you do you! I love your music and versions of certain pieces, your unique technical skills that are insanely crazy, and just your overall interpretation! Keep doing what you’re doing, cuz in every video I watch of you’re playing, I am always amazed. But I do hope you compose your own variation of another Paganini, or even Sarasate, Wieniawski piece since all those are probably way too easy for you 😉

[@heifetzcollection]

@@InsaneViolin I love your virtuosity and intensity, and your own compositions and transcriptions are just phenomenal. Personnaly, I also would love to hear your interpretation of Wieniawski Austrian anthem - because I have never heard a fully satisfying playing of it. Ricci takes risks, but occasionnaly, it gets dirty. Double-harmonics, left-hand pizz, nothing difficult for you, right ;-) !

[@adammikitzel9053]

A modern virtuoso that plays his own masterpiece. Never thought I'd be privileged enough to hear something like this online. Thank you Roman!

[@ZxAMobile]

If you are a musician, and the majority of your songs are not written by yourself, then you are not a true musician, and just a copycat fraud. The majority of the songs you should be reciting and playing should be your own songs. You should be constantly making your own music. In fact, even if you are a beginner musician, you should start by creating your own music. You will learn how to play the instrument a lot faster this way, instead of trying to copy other musicians and failing.

[@ZxAMobile]

@@ORCINUS I agree with that logic if you cannot write a script and you can only read other people script that you are not a true actor. It’s like saying that you are a real doctor because you can read a script but you have no idea what you’re reading or what you were talking about and you couldn’t possibly teach people about what you know that means you don’t understand the subject. Most musicians even the worlds. Best musicians are just copycat people who repetitively play over and over again they are not talented or masters at what they are doing. They are just good at copying others and pretending to be the same. Roman has proven that he can compose better music than almost any violinist in history. He not only is the most technical musician who has ever lived, but he can also compose the best music ever created. This is what I consider a master. You should never seek to be top 100 you should only seek to be number one if you can reach top five of all time that is acceptable anything else and you are Not to be spoken of.

[@baieun]

Amazing playing......and another new great composition made by Roman.

[@InsaneViolin]

Eun Hwan Bai thank you!

[@wisdomoftheearlychristians2037]

@@InsaneViolin You are truly amazing and gifted, and underrated. Your talent seems to me far superior to many who are " famous" violinists. But some people I guess are artistic geniuses and others are " stars" ( eg. David Garrett) and they aren't the same thing.

[@nikbur717]

I’ve always admired an organ. But being a violinist myself I’ve never ever thought that a violin can sound like an organ! I’ve never heard anything like this performance! Thank you, Roman! I’m honored to know such an incredible musician in person!

[@usshackman]

Can not stop listening to this video. I played this more than 50 times. My mind is fried.

[@LogioTek]

It's an honor to be alive during the time of the great Roman Kim. This composition is from beyond. Bach and Paganini beautifully married together?! Never heard anything like 0:55~. Section 1:47~ with his trademarked forced harmonics ringing so pure in contrast. Beautiful 3:09~ and 4:00~. Love 5:01~ especially fast passages 5:20~. Transition after 6:50~ is pure genius and beautiful with early introduction before the actual change to 6:54~ where forced harmonics contrast comes in again. Nice rythmic finale 7:20~.

[@Violin-Recital]

3:13-4:00 is perfection. Some of the most beautiful music I think I've ever heard.

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

There are extremely Good Violinists in the world. However easily 99% of them cant compose any good music, if at all. Good Violinists who can compose music such as Roman Kim are so few in the world. This sets him heads and shoulders above the extremely good Violinists past or present.

[@zerpaviolin]

Dies irae... Obsessive theme used by Mozart, Ysaye, Berlioz. And now, the great Roman Kim.

[@gohryu2004]

I've been a quiet fan for some time. This video absolutely blew my mind. Il Brindisi was incredible but this piece really spoke to me. If you ever publish the score, please let me know as I would love to perform this. After performing almost all of Paganini and Ernst's solo violin works I have been looking for a new virtuosic language to learn and this looks like it. Thank you for introducing this to the world. Cheers from Malaysia.

[@hamwhacker]

You must be a very very good player yourself! Good luck with next virtuoso performance. People who perform such music like Roman Kim are incredible.

[@alejandronarvaez9806]

My personal favorite composition by Roman Kim, I remember listening to this all nights and thinking it was the coolest thing ever, keep it up Roman, I'm looking forward to listening much more work of yours, you are the best! P.d.: Mr. Tretyakov must be proud.

[@faridwakim8338]

You have a style which I'm now beginning to recognise. You are brilliant - truly. The microvibrato on the chords at 2:26 pierce me in the best way. I hear Bach and Paganini in this piece - you've applied such a fresh energy to the style and made it yours. I hope to listen to you one day, however, not over the phone. I wish you nothing but success.

[@jochenbrusch]

Ich bin schon seit längerer Zeit ein Fan von Roman Kim. Endlich haben wir hier einen Spieler mit vielen individuellen Merkmalen, eine richtige Persönlichkeit der Geige. Seine Ballade "Dies Irae" ist ein wirklich fantastisches neues Geigenwerk. Ich bewundere Romans Virtuosität, seine Klarheit und Brillanz und den immer so gut spürbaren Rhythmus. Hoffe mit den Jahren noch mehr von ihm hören zu können.

[@elazotedeloshypebeast1110]

I have seen too many violinist on youtube in my life, for sure, and i have to say you are the one, just amazing, different to all.

[@silviulc]

Great composition and very beautiful interpretation. I think it was written in a neo - baroque style. Congratulations Roman!

[@jorgevallin2983]

Simply… This is from another world… Amazing

[@faridwakim8338]

I've commented before on this video but I remain astonished EVERY time I hear this piece. As a composer myself (piano), I am so impressed with how you can translate so well on the violin. I believe you are Today's Paganini - you deserve more recognition. I hope you come to Australia after this COVID madness is over. Getting to the point where I'll book you personally and arrange the event! You are excellent Roman. And I don't throw around praise lightly.

[@randylazer2894]

If I were to say this is genius, that would be an appalling understatement, as I would have to upgrade my comment of Mr. Kim's writing and playing to "Absolutely F...ng Genius!" Seriously the very height of virtuosity. Perhaps Mr. Kim is proof of reincarnation, as his playing reflects the spirit and astounding technical brilliance and creativity of Paganini, and perhaps beyond.

[@paganinos]

If it has to be a reincarnation, the it is that of Ysaye :) Well done again, dear Kim. You are a gifted artist.

[@Forex_Trading_Robot]

Absolutely mind blowing and in a league of your own by a long shot. I hope we will be fortunate enough to one day hear your take of Bach's amazing Chaconne from Partita No.2 in D Minor.

[@LogioTek]

I second that. I'd love to hear his Bach's great Chaconne interpretation. He took master-classes with Midori and Kremer so for sure Bach and Chaconne rubbed off on him in a good day. “My most important teachers were Moscow State Conservatory instructor Galina Turchaninova and Viktor Tretyakov,” Kim says. “Turchaninova gave me a wonderful technical basis, and Tretyakov affected me very strongly musically.” (Russian-school) "He studied under Maxim Vengerov and attended master classes with Midori Goto, Lewis Kaplan, Miriam Fried and Gidon Kremer." (World-school) ”Israeli virtuoso Ivry Gitlis describes Kim's mastery of his instrument as "one of the most incredible playing I have heard since I was born!“ In 2016 he won the Ivry Gitlis prize at the Festival Le Printemps du Violon in Paris.” (if TwoSet mind-blown isn't enough validation) It's amazing under how many greats he studied. I guess you simply don't get to this level without this wide level of influences (Roman's influences extend into Rock and Pop too).

a comment I saw somewhere struck me. It was asked how Mr Kim was thus far so unknown. A comical answer said the people are listening to (I"ll be polite and not name her though the initials *might* be LS) a schlocky video and fawning over it. I had to go look.. lord help me.. she has 13M subs. Maybe the public just likes schlock. IDK... I'm much older, however I have young children (who play) I'm glad I get to expose them to this playing.

[@LogioTek]

@@Solazur007 People are just too busy now days and like very simple music. Complexity stresses them out. And that's unfortunate. But for music to be immortal all is needed is for other musicians to keep performing it. I think Roman has that covered - interest from other musicians.
