Two set violin contributed more than any single artist in promoting classical music, especially violin music. They will be remembered for a long long time.
Agreed, especially Eddy's tone improved so much (refer to their Curtis audition episode). Brett's tone is always pretty decent but he is much more relaxed in this performance which makes the music more expressive and engaging.
Ok, but like why is no one talking about Sophie! She also played blindfolded (I think). All three of them did great! And Brett and Eddy's playing both def improved, a lot!
Niice and fuun! Thank you for sharing this! For the people that cannot travel to see them live I'm glad you did and you shared. The day they visit Barcelona I'll be there hopefully, meanwhile... we will always have youtube 🙏
Thank you so much for uploading this. I ended up having to sell my London ticket due to surgery on a fractured wrist only the day before the concert. To say I was disappointed is an understatement....
I wonder Eddy and Brett are going to be in 10 - 20 year's time. I don't think RU-vid will still be "all the rage" around 2035-ish. At least these guys made it to the stage already !
I have to admire them b/c (don't hate me for saying it), but they'll never be the best violinists in the world like Ray Chen or Hilary Hahn, though they are still exceptional. However, they have managed to make something that (again don't hate me) can be boring for a lot of people and bridge it to a new audience through comedy and entertainment. They took the resources they had and made the most of it. As a result, I think in the long run they'll have an even farther-reaching cultural impact than the top-tier violinists will.
Well, they might not be the best violonists in the world, but they achieved something that even the best violonists did not...to make people pay attention to classical music, even those who , at first , ignored this kind of music, due to these guys, ( discovering their channel and their videos) became fans of classical music...( at least those 4 mil subscribers...)
You are right that they will never be up there with the best, but that's not their goal. They are amazing musicians, but they don't want to be the best. They're passionate about music and want to help spread classical music and revitalize it to modern people.
Yeah for sure. The amount of people that they inspired to play an instrument. Even for me they were the people who got my passion up for playing violin, and not really much of the world class soloists.
Twoset have a very unique niche in the music world. They are definitely entertainers and very good at what they do. They are extremely talented even if they aren’t Ling Ling. (To use their language)
It would've been so much more awesome if Eddy and Brett got their hands on Lakatos and Rachlin's version of Czardas. Then it wouldn't just be octaves and gaps in certain sections.
Because it's ludicrously loud and only necessary due to the blindfolds? I thought it was funny. The thing is, they're both good enough violinists that they didn't need to do the "accidents" that come from being blindfolded, but they do them to highlight why good musicians need to watch each other when they play, especially for being in time when there are big tempo changes/fluidity.
@@ain4640 They didn't need blindfolds for that though.They just needed to agree on the tempi pre-performance. All they needed was their ears and agreed-upon tempo changes. That's all. Nothing difficult. That's probably why the performance worked out the way it did... There have been so many blindfolded pianists and they've been praised for how well they've done. Any decent musician can do that.
