Roman Kim plays E.Sauret Cadenza

[@brooksiefan]

This really deserved a better recording quality.

[@NotReallyRussel]

I think he made it that way to make the impression of an old recording from either the 1960s-1980s.

[@mbwilson2625]

No kidding. Why did he release this?

[@ujjwalmishra8962]

dont look sad emil u made the hardest violin cadenza ever

[@jm096]

Lol

[@naurdupond8461]

Ok so let me get this straight... Sauret's cadenza is considered as one of the most technically demanding pieces in the whole repertoire and he just... played it perfectly 1,5x time faster than the usual tempo where other virtuosos still aren't able to play it totally in tune. Right. I think I am gonna study something else...

[@youtuberschannel12]

Really? ask leonidas kavakos. He is faster. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHWvaJ-lmsiSg6c and it's a live performance

[@sebastian-benedictflore]

He played it how Sauret would have played it

[@LouFerl]

@@youtuberschannel12 There are several differences between what Kim and Kavakos play so technically, they aren't both "the Sauret cadenza". No problem with that, of course; that's what a cadenza is about. Having said that, what they both play is clearly very similar so a comparison is certainly valid and I agree with you that Kavakos is faster in many sections, including the end. But more importantly than the speed, I will add that Kavakos is also a lot more articulate and more precise. Where Kim goes legato sounds a bit sloppy, while Kavakos' articlation is impeccable. Kim is a fabulously gifted violinist (Eine Kleine Nacht Music, playing (mostly) the whole quartet by himself!) but in the present comparison, Kavakos (and others) do a much better job. In my humble opinion, of course.

[@josephotoshi]

I would also add that Tatsuki Narita's rendition of the Sauret cadenza is also quite good, in case you haven't seen that one yet

@@angelosdeltoro9992 lacks soul bruh one of his recordings of la campanella(there are 2 of them) has way more musicality than any other recording I've seen. some pieces aren't meant to have as much musicality, and emotion. his recording of cantabile is good, I brindisi is also such an amazing recording. some of the lack of musicality could be because its an older recording and he might not have been as much of an emotional violinist.

[@Jackson_Blagg]

@@angelosdeltoro9992 What the hell are you talking about? Roman Kim has created more pieces that are more musical than any piece Hilary Hahn, Ray Chen, or even Augestin could do. This guy has literally created new techniques, made cadenzas, and played the hardest pieces in the world and you are over here like a twoset wannabe listing players they have mentioned. Any of those composers might be better than Roman Kim musicality or technically in their afterlife. Roman Kim is not better than 99 percent of people, probably more than 99.999 percent.

Mr.Kim really is one of a kind.. sadly only a portion of us musicians could appreciate how great/amazing/unbelievable he is. The other day, I showed Mr.Kim's videos to one of my collegues, he couldn't appreciate him like I do simply because he doesn't understand the magnitude of technique involved in all his playings...

[@Chihuahuauno1]

Roman Kim is for sure a “musician’s violinist,” and not a public figure (YET).

[@oscarowski]

It’s just a question of time before he will be at every stage across the world (if he wants to) - I find his music very accessible and you don’t have to have heard a lot to “feel” how good he is. He transcends. Only thing people (even musicians) find difficult to believe is the fact he’s one person, with only 10 fingers.

But I have never heard a recording of this cadenza (or any other flashy technical showpiece that Roman Kim recorded, for that matter) played more convincingly.

@@damshek Kavakos. Better articulation and clarity, more even tempo, and he is also faster at various passages that Kim slowed down a bit.

I put that part into 0.25 speed, he missed two or three notes, it's very easy to do that coming back down if you have sweaty hands or the fingerboard is a little greasy. He might've slipped and if he did he recovered really quickly.

Здесь одно очевидно - попытка застолбить скрипичный Олимп. Запись Леонида Когана этой каденции мне видится куда убедительнее - там больше глубины и гармонии...и нет этой вечной гонки за лаврами виртуоза - там присутствует Его величество Музыка, так скажу. Слушая сейчас трактовки советских скрипачей - одно приходит: они всё же куда убедительнее нынешних вергеровых и репиных. Про корейских музыкантов и не говорю - это больше вышколенные истуканы. Переслушал не один раз эту запись и одно всплывает: не обнаружил здесь Музыки. Одно желание всех удивить...а с этим куда дальше идти? - вот вопрос.
