he is a romanian gypsi that comes from a family that play instruments... he doesn't know how to read notes and learnt the that piece in 20 minutes be hearing it its a whole documentary on them ... johnny depp heard them and asked them stay in his house for some time to present them to his friends (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qOgIK2YKK84.html - in description of that video is the full documentary too)
assurément la meilleure partie de cet excellent film Concernant les morceaux nous avons L'arpeggione de Schubert (violoncelle) puis Caprice n°24 dePaganini (interprété par le gitan). Bon après-midi à tous ;)
@poupoumable La musique classique véhicule tellement d'émotions; elle parle sans dire de mots, ou plutôt, elle parle dans ses propres mots. Elle ne s'écoute pas, elle se vit. La musique de Tchaïkovsky est un bon début pour s'initier à la musique classique. Et les Quatre Saisons de Vivaldi aussi.
Hello, does anyone have a link for the full length melody that is played between 3:00 and 3:20 ? I am aware of the Fanfara Version of the song, but I'm interested if there is a version played only on violin, without trumpets.
La Roumanie sera jamais le pays des tziganes. En fait, c'est une grande erreur que un pays tel beau est presque partout dans le monde confondu et mal jugé ... Mais comme le poète Radu Gyr a écrit ,, On se retournera un jour "... Nous , les vrais roumains, les descendants des Latins et des Daces...
whitchs names hav the two melodies of ths scene? Wie heissen die zwei Melodien, die in dieser Szene mit dem Cello und mit der Geige spielen? comment s appellent ils les deux melodies de cette scene? como se llamas las dos melodias de esta escena?
M-am intrebat si eu acelasi lucru...si zicea cineva ca e o melodie mai veche lautareasca..mai de birt asa "Manuela" s-ar numi...eu am cautat ...seamana un pic...dar ce face Caliu aici ...suna MUUULT mai bine :)!
His name is Angel. There is not much on him or his life that I could find as he's most likely a Russian Gypsy with incredible talent. This movie, "The Concert" is one of my top favorites. I just happen to find it on my overseas flight from the US to Dubai and later bought the CD with English translation. The Female violinist was the only recognizable actress (Melanie Laurent) that I had seen before in other parts. She was Shoshanna in the movie, "Inglourious Bastards".
The 20 seconds piece he's playing before the Paganini part is taken from the song "Manuela, oh Manuela". You can find it on RU-vid interpreted by Fanfare Ciocarlia. The fiddler is Gheorghe Anghel aka CALIU.
@kyanon aaa: Paganini's Caprice N°24 , and it is almost impossible to play, Paganini, who composed it and also was a violinist, had a pathology making his fingers elongated, so he composed pieces he only could play "easily" because of his disease, while most professional violinist have enormous problems, even top performers, doing the same, and this is what the scene is about: Caliu, he real life gypsy autodidact violinist is a master violinist. The scene is about the confrontation between theory and practice, sterile teaching and teaching of life, wand what is art about etc... See here for a fabulous interpretation (with an arrangement)by an outstanding violonist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rgCo54r3DUk.html Se here for another, also oustanding but more classical rendering of this Paganini piece: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PZ307sM0t-0.html And see here to have a look at Caliu's totally amazin repertoire (as Romanian lautari, gypsy musician, and autodidact): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pT4IufMeyYA.html
