Roman Kim is an extraordinary musician. Not only is his technique almost a class for its own, but he composes for his instrument in the style of the old heroes of the violin of the 19th century: Paganini, Wieniawski, Sarasate etc. He is already a great personality of the violin. Dear Roman: thankyou very much for all the pleasure You give us! Please consider me as Your true fan.

For 44 years of concert going, I have awaited the coming of a violinist who embodied both unashamed virtuosity and an ability to foster an appreciation for the rich and brilliant heritage of the instrument. Meanwhile, there have been a punk violinist, and more recently, one who likes to play dress-up. Now, with the appearance on the scene of Roman Kim, we finally have the Genuine Article. I say "Bravo" and long may he wave!!

[@GeodesicBruh]

[@michealfeeley9918]

In my opinion he is the succesor (resurrection) of the best violinist composers of 19th and 20th century from Paganini, Wieniawski, Sarasate, Ysaye and Kreisler. This composition arrangement is really of the 19th century style with touches of 21st century and beyond techniques.

Simply remarkable. Given the amount of exposure to “talents” nowadays, I don’t think people quite realize how unearthly this really is. I’m not going to go far as to say that Roman Kim is the reincarnation of Paganini but I’m sure this is how people and fellow violinists felt when they saw Paganini back then. As a violinist myself, I’m just lost at words and also very thrilled that I get to see such godly talent at work in my life time. I really do hope that I get the chance to meet him at some point and listen to him play live like how he does here instead of how he plays all the crossover stuff he seems to enjoy these days(although I enjoy them very much as well)

Looks like my violin is going into the fireplace this winter!

Mr. Dalton. Why? Are you envious of Roman's talents?

@@yukiefromoz2573 I don't need to watch TwoSet to understand fallen human nature. Somebody does something better than you and you either become envious or you say "what's the point in trying" and give up (burn violin). But this is not the proper attitude. All talents are given to men by God, to some more, to some less. But each is to use it to his ability, to glorify God though, not to glorify self.

Паганини, воплотившись в Романе, сам себе посвятил произведение. То же мастерское, никем нeпревзойденное владение инструментoм, тот же почерк композиции. Даже внешность та же, только красивше! Пианист тоже молодец, как у него звучит рояль.

I love this piece! Roman Kim i love your style and your " Virtuosismo", hope you'll keep compose ( And hope you'll come in Italy again !)

WOW como llegue acá no pude dejar de oir a este genio del violín quede muy impresionado todas esas técnicas y ni siquiera con partitura 😎

Роман, Вы зубы в Хьюстоне заказали из металлокерамики и... Хьюстон, у нас нет проблем!!! Как оркестрант, игравший Травиату сотни раз, скажу - это здорово! И транскрипция здоровская! В лучших традициях! Так и видно всю мизансцену!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@натальярычажкова-ж3п]

Восхитительно!!! Спасибо.

[@abelalbion543]

Effortlessly... God bless you, Roman 👍

What a dark worldview! It is our mission to make sure this young man IS remembered.

[@gabrielhwang6827]

Just amazing!!! No other words.

[@Dmichoacan]

This would be an awesome live performance to see!

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

May the critics have a field day. Massively enjoyable, and simply brilliant, teeth and all. Roman - you should make the sheet music available! Cheers & bravo!!!

[@UncleNathan]

The mind boggles. Bravo, Roman! A terrific piece, and breathtakingly played...I LOVE the pizzicato passage near the end!!!! :-))))

[@chisanakittsunee]

This violinist is extraordinary

[@elisontolentino4571]

I had goosebumps on every variation you played... Dude you're my very inspiration why I still keep playing violin up to this day. Niccolo Paganini as well is my true idol! Thank you very much for dedicating this to him he will be very happy to hear this if he's alive :D
