Saint-Saëns - The Swan (Viola)

[@janebishop5885]

What a composer and how well you make his creation sing. So lovely, thank you!

[@swathimuralee]

Soulful playing by both artists. EXCELLENT TONE of the viola❤❤❤❤❤❤. Lots of love and wishes from India 🇮🇳

[@fingerhorn4]

Best performance of this piece on KZbin, on any stringed instrument. Beautifully done, with a lovely sound and great control. Congrats!

[@annavrhovac2687]

Cello’s better

[@fingerhorn4]

@@annavrhovac2687 There is no "better". Both instruments sound great for this piece. I'm talking about the musicality of the player, not just the instrument.

[@heavenlyguitar5913]

This is a very beautiful rendition. Both instrumentalists were excellent and have a soulful touch to their playing. Beautiful!

[@fallofaiproductions]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@AlastorAltruistGaming]

I remember playing this on MY viola *(before the damn thing got stolen* 😒), and I’ve just been pleasantly surprised this could be played on this instrument when Le Cygne is specifically for piano & cello. I respect you for bringing up really pleasant memories & taking me back, on top of playing so beautifully.

[@spicychickenboba]

YOUR VIOLA GOT STOLEN!?? So sorry to hear 😢

Hay quá cảm ơn 2 bạn có tiếng đàn thật tuyệt đi thẳng vào trái tim

I love the range you get from a viola. Highs like a violin but lows like a cello. Excellent job!

I was considering playing this piece on the violin, but you totally changed my mind. It sounds so amazing on viola - better than Ray Chen's violin version! I play both instruments. 🙂

[@spicychickenboba]

I personally like both but it's nice that you found the version you prefer :D

[@josemotta9560]

Que interpretação maravilhosa.

magnificant

[@winnie5498]

I really wanna try this but I'm still a beginner in viola so I'll work hard for now! Thanks for the motivation :)

[@Botannik5281]

Try it out in just first position and play the runs slowly it should still sound pretty good!

[@winnie5498]

@@Botannik5281 Thank you! Will try it out

[@Lepewhi]

So expressive. Beautiful!!!

[@_daboi_3471]

I was wondering if I could find this transcription somewhere?

[@fallofaiproductions]

The transcription is freely available on IMSLP (www.imslp.org). This was recorded at the end of another session where Alexander and Chris had recorded a Brahms violin sonata. With some extra session time left, not sure if Alexander had improvised any register changes or played the literal transcription.
