[@lurkerran]

i found twosetviolin playing the whole piece

[@TooLittleInfo]

I, too, came here looking to listen to the full piece after always hearing bits of it by Twoset. I love that they legit are getting people into classical music and exposing us to the diversity of styles and composers in classical music that I didn't know existed. I'd always been curious about classical music but had no idea where to start--how do you even begin to parse a body of work spanning hundreds of years, you know? Of course everyone knows shit like Canon in D and Beethoven's 5th but they didn't appeal to me and it was like, how do you even start looking for things that you might like? So I'm really really happy that I found Twoset, they make it so fun and engaging and it's awesome what they're doing!

[@timmyc9915]

Well, same here. Since I started watching Twoset, I've opened myself to alot of pieces that are sometimes and mostly, not appreciated by the majority.

[@misterscumfluffles3514]

I was honestly very curious how many twoset related comments I’d find down here. I love it when they play this piece it’s so beautiful and it’s really fun to see people who come out of appreciation for what they do and want to hear more.

[@HKLydia]

I agree, they are a good introduction to classical music for me! and there's a video of twoset playing the whole piece(i think?) as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qau9h3mmj6yhjtU

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

In my 44 years of violin playing, this has got to be the best and most enjoyable performance I’ve ever heard of the fiendishly difficult Navarra by Pablo de Sarasate. Congratulations to both of you! You have captured the spirit, charm, and grace of the piece quite beautifully. Thank you for your hard work and dedication in delivering this exquisite performance.

I'm not sure what's more delightful to hear, that their violins are priceless masterpieces, or that they're still playing together. I'm a vocalist, not a string player but by all things good, those two were SINGING together. And dancing too, for that matter. How lovely!

[@pfau1960]

Having watched and listened to this marvelous performance probably eight times now, I am utterly enthralled. Both Huang and Um, though Danbi Um in particular, strike me as a profoundly sensitive players and wonderfully attentive to the ensemble work that's so critical in this piece. The two of them bring out all the charm, levity, and elegance that Sarasate put into his composition. A delight, not least because it confirms that a new, prodigiously talented generation of violinists is about to reinvigorate classical music. In dark times, such unvarnished beauty and talent offers a glimmer of hope. - The one other recording, by David and Igor Oistrakh, is of the same caliber, though I find their tempo a bit too hard-driving and at times eclipsing the levity and charm of Sarasate's score. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp7Vq4mMqpl5i68

[@Roma-kp4qg]

Same, I felt that the Oistrakh recording isn't delicate enough. That may have to do with the fact that microphones back then weren't as good as they are now, and they might have been forced to play that way to get it picked up
