He did a great job with the Mendelssohn!

[@MsPea]

If Brett was nervous, he hid it very well. His playing was confident and strong. (Obviously 40 hours of practice a day had paid off.) He showed that he does have the ability to be a soloist. I've read several comments that say Brett was rushing. I watched the video of Ray Chen's Mendelssohn, and I can't tell the difference in the tempo between his performance and Brett's. I assume Ray's is correct, but maybe he rushes too? But I'm not a critic or even a musician, so maybe my ear just isn't trained as some. In any event, I thought Brett did a great job. I can't imagine the satisfaction and gratitude that fulfilling his childhood dream has brought him. He'll always have this moment to look back on as a great personal accomplishment.

I don't know where else to complain but here. Maybe, if TwoSet fans wrote complaints, addressed first person to KZbin like I did, in the tens of thousands, KZbin would pay attention. If just 1% of those 4-million followers wrote, that would be an impressive statement, and if we get those kind of numbers, the Singapore press might pick up the story. If KZbin's inconsistently applied "demonitization" policy were brought into the light, like Twitter's problems with Trump, his supporters, and their ignorant, inflammatory tweets in 2020 about the pandemic, the vaccines. unproven treatments. etc. These got Trump et. al suspended and caused Congressional hearings where Twitter said they could handle it -- big companies don't like that kind of PR because they never want government oversight.

[@endogladry]

I find myself coming back again and again to enjoy Brett's Mendelssohn. Regardless of the composer's intent for the meaning of the piece, I feel like Brett's interpretation tells the story of a violinist dreaming, practicing, and agonizing over becoming a soloist. I feel like it conveys both the sadness he feels about not becoming a traditional soloist as well as the reverent passion he has for playing the violin despite that. It's a bittersweet story that ends in victory because this journey has all been worth it. He has honestly accomplished something greater than his original dream, and that is TwoSetViolin. The point of performing is to share the beauty and brilliance of music, and he has done it in spades by inspiring so many youngsters (and old heads I'm sure!) to get into classical music and even learning instruments!

[@ketsiabk777]

The opening of the Marriage of Figaro was stunning. I was caught up in the professionalism and flawless technique of the musicians of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Their conductor was able to take us into dance, brilliantly starting this evening of celebration. The arrival of Brett and Eddy made me very excited, although I was surprised by the cadet's outfit. It was before Brett explained to us that this is a limited edition of TwoSetApparel, for which I am ready to spend colossal sums. This little moment of discussion relaxed the atmosphere, and I was jubilant at the idea that before being a professional concert, this evening was a privileged moment with Brett and Eddy. Brett reacted very well to the prank with Bruch, haha! But when Mendelssohn violin concerto began... I had chills. As a violinist, I could feel Brett's nervousness, in the first minutes, the first passages. But he quickly felt comfortable, and took us with him in a musical voluptuousness from which I enjoyed. He played these three movements wonderfully, and his emotion at the end of the concerto was undoubtedly shared with each TwoSetter present that evening. Far from France, I felt an unparalleled pride. Eddy arrived, dressed in turn. I noticed that blue and red corresponded well to their musical personalities. I remembered the photos posted on Instagram, Brett in blue light, Eddy in red. Even the Stradivarius were in agreement with their personalities. Indeed, I had finally perceived the sober and elegant character of the Empress Catarina, who knew how to impose herself with all delicacy. Then, they played Bach's double violin concerto. I knew the first movement, for having played it at the conservatory. But the second left me speechless... At one point, am I the only one to have noticed the osmosis of the two protagonists?? To the point that their bows were parallel, their movements were identical!! Bach brilliantly succeeded in creating a dialogue between the Regent and Empress Catarina. The round trips between the stage and the backstage are part of the protocol, isn't it? I think we were all amused by this. And then Brett made a little speech... I almost shouted when I heard the words "Sell Out"! And what a challenge for Eddy, what a challenge!! This interpretation of La Campanella comforted me on the idea that I had of the personalities of both violins. The Regent is bold, inflamed like an enthusiast that could not be contained. Although I could feel the difficulty of a piece written by Paganini, I had pleasure in listening to it, congratulating the two men internally for Sell Out, which indeed used more than two bars. It was then the end of the concert, and the announcement, what an announcement! TwoSet’s World Tour!! Brett, Eddy, thank you very much for this wonderful moment, these two hours of pure pleasure. Thank you for making me laugh every day since 2018, thank you for creating passion in us. Thank you. ❤

Brett's Mendelssohn really made me emotional. I could see and hear just how much this meant to him. Every single note was played with such intensity, such emotion, and for me, that's what makes his rendition better than that of some professional soloists. I couldn't care less about the *very few* mistakes he made, I think this will always be my favorite Mendy!

With you 100%! I feel like Brett put in so much of himself into his playing and it very much does not go unappreciated. His playing is so emotional and captivating. Immediately became my favourite Mendy for sure

[@retrops4261]

Even "real" soloists make mistakes. Especially with this piece, any even slightly out of tune or character note stands out immediately... Suffice it to say, Brett plays with wonderful heart and soul here, (and always) also he has improved just immensely over the last several years, this is a wonderful performance, and I'm sure he will have many more. He is clearly an extremely good violinist, what an astonishing opportunity to perform with a great symphony orchestra on a fabulous instrument one of the treasured concerti in the violin literature. :And infact after hearing the full performance, this is basically very nearly as well as anyone can play this, ie soloist level. I love that this is how Brett played the concerto. The slow mvt was quite compelling and the final virtuoso mvt is so difficult, even my (Electa classics vintage Pearlman RECORDING) has a couple out of tune notes near the end.. if Brett gets more chances to play this, I bet he might be able to Make it even better.. but it was beautiful compelling playing!!!

A concert like no other! A concert with humour and chatting with the audience. A concert with 2 strads and TwoSet! A concert with my favourite double violin Bach concerto, where back in the early 1970s as a student in Vienna, I was turning pages in rehearsals for the epic Eduard Melkus and Spiros Rantos recording. I was just 17 years old, a harpsichord and organ student, can you imagine my awe? That recording was done with only Baroque instruments. The second movement played by Melkus and Rantos still remains the best I have ever heard but TwoSet brings fun and vibrancy to a modern audience which in my old age I really do appreciate.

[@ingrossa]

Musicians build up their repertoire throughout their studies, so when they have to play a concert they can focus on polishing it, not learning it from scratch. Hence why Brett was able to play the opening of the Bruch, I'm sure he has all the staples in the violin repertoire memorized to a decent degree. Nevertheless, 2 weeks for polishing La Campanella is a very short amount of time.

I've listened to many performances of this piece and I would say what is outstanding in Brett's interpretation is staying really close with his sound to the orkestra.

Even my husband, who's not into classical music, stayed for the whole concert.

Bravo to both of you. Sorry that you had this copyright strike business very regrettable. No good deed goes unrewarded. I’m 73 and it was your channel that opened my mind to classical music. I listen for a hour or so everyday.

Brett was wonderful. It was so amazing watching him transform into a soloist before our eyes. So proud of him! The duet Brett & Eddy was also so lovely. And what a great surprise at the end - I was not expecting Eddy to do La Campanella. The conductor's energy blew me away: he was so great. And everyone in the Syngapore Symphony Oechestra did a great job as well. The video and audio quality is superb! Thank you TwoSet Violin Team for making this stream happen.

When they play together, it hits different. I love how the Empress Caterina, and the Regent were bound to be. And through Brett and Eddy they were able to make beautiful music together as they were meant to. I'm emotional.

[@jyounghee]

no one around me understands how i've been replaying this at least three times a day for serotonin and confidence boost, but i know at least someone here feels the same as me!

[@jelenakatic1778]

That 0.3 in 1.3M views was probably just me. 😂 Indeed, the two of them, and this concert especially, are a perpetual serotonin fountain! 🥰

[@nout1972]

This just proves how ridiculously high the standards are in classical music. I find Brett's playing to be almost flawless, emotional and expressive. But only when you do a side by side comparison with the top violinists you'll notice some subtle differences in control and tone. If this concert was put on CD I could easily buy it and be completely content with it, even with the knowledge that there are (slightly) better recordings out there.

[@bybrillylili]

I lost count how many times I clapped and gasped during Brett's Mendelssohn, it was stunning, breathtakingly beautiful. Breddy's Bach Double brought tears to my eyes and the Strads sounded like they're singing together harmoniously. Eddy's La Campanella is phenomenal I lost words. I am screaming crying clapping in my room alone, so SO PROUD of you guys to finally achieve your dreams. It's been such an honor to witness your growth since Viola Gang and funny skits, 2m and 3m streams with falling balloons & grey curtains, and now HERE. If you ever think you're not amazing or anything, believe me you guys are changing thousands of lives around the world, brighten up their days and inspire them to be as amazing as you are. Thank you SSO, Tarisio, the Maestro, camera crews, and everyone involved for making this happened.

Good ol viola gang, happy to see them this far 😭❤

I've replayed Brett's Mendy for maybe the fifth or sixth time, just like his Tchaik 2 yrs ago, also replayed countless times. I don't know how to say, there IS something, some magic thing, in his playing, which could bewitch me deeply. Surely there are so many flawless versions by many soloists, which i love undoubtedly, but I'm not exaggerating my feelings that this version, Brett's version, so sincere, so sweet, full of emotion and joy and vitality, keeps going and going in my head, makes me want to listen to it once and once again.

[@ranonampangom2185]

He plays with such emotional depth, such sweetness and yet such passion, that this truly does warrant multiple listens. I'm on my fourth right now!

[@aquamarine9568]

I have listened at least 6 or 7 times. Brett’s playing is so sweet, rich and heartfelt. It is so beautiful. I loved the Bach Double too. The two violins, though twins, seemed to dance around each other with deep and sweet tones mixing and contrasting perfectly. ❤

[@ranonampangom2185]

@@aquamarine9568 I enjoyed the Bach, but I felt it was clear that they hadn't had much time practicing as a group, with the other musicians. The timing was off at times. But it's understandable, chamber music is especially difficult! (I'm a long-time Baroque music fan so I've heard a *lot*)

The Mendelson concerto brought tears to my eyes. This hardly ever happens to me listening to music. I listened to very different music during my life (mostly middle Eastern classical music) I don't know anything about violin concerto's. So I looked up and listened to 3 other violinists playing this piece. That was nice. After that I listened to Brett again and it made my cry again. In Arab music there is this untranslatable word 'tarab'. It has to do with inspiration and emotion. Truly beautiful music is not about playing all the right notes perfectly, it's about feeling the music and making the audience feel it too. Brett's love for the music shines through so clearly. This is a rare talent.

[@Raza9428]

Any middle eastern classical music recommendations?

[@ZiaElohka]

@@Raza9428 Some to start with and the algorithm will hopefully help you further: Munir Bashir (Iraq) Farida Mohamed Ali (Iraq) Mohamed Qadri Dalal (Syria) (It helps to search in arabic. Just use google translate) And then of course the mid 20th century Egyptian stars, whose songs are considered classic now: Um Kalthoum Farid al Atrash Abdel Halim Hafez 🙂Enjoy! ( I hope😅)

Brett’s parents can finally be proud that he’s not just a youtuber anymore, he’s a soloist! Well done. The production value on this is insane and I can only imagine how far you’ll take it for 5 mil.

Brett and Eddy have given a tremendous gift to classical music around the world! I loved listening a second time without being nervous for Brett. Rodolfo was absolutely the "secret sauce" here. I have seen many conductors in my life, but Rodolfo had a youthful joy and energy that helped make the concert perfect!

[@aquamarine9568]

Agree. Rodolfo shone. I was touched by how he was so supportive of Brett and Eddy onstage and behind the stage door.

[@wakingtheworld]

Yes, few here are acknowledging the conductor. I too loved his youthful energy and how he appreciated the members of his orchestra.

Thank you again Tarisio for lending them the Stradivarius Violins and also to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Rodolfo and the wonderful people behind the scenes who helped film this ♥️♥️♥️

Brett’s Andante always makes me tear up 🥲 it’s so sweet but melancholic at the same time…

[@officialjarix]

Wow. Everythng about this concert is amazing - Mozart's Overture, Brett's Mendelssohn, their Bach, and even Eddy's La Campanella! The SSO was amazing too! Even the lady voice giving the audience house rules rocked with the phrase "May Ling-Ling be with you." Couldn't be more prouder for Brett, and also Eddy! Plus that world tour announcement got me excited lol Thank you, you two, and cheers! ♥♥
