Violin Virtuoso

Violin exists since Baroque times. It's a very old instrument, some call it the king of melodic instruments. I would say it's a very technical, and it is the most difficult instrument to master. Imagine, juz 1mm off position and u're like way out of tune. There is no frets like guitar or keys like piano where intonation is already figured out. Over the centuries, from dry baroque violin tones, it has evolves and improve to a bright, colourful and warm tone. Violin are used in all kinda genre, like jazz(Chern Wei), hip hop(Ben-Airi), rock(Sean Mackin), contemporary new age(Lucia Micarelli).
In classical, the players that I appreciate are:-
1) Maxim Vengerov (Love his bach's chacconne)


2) Itzhak Perlman (effortless playing of the 'Theme from schindler's list' being a jew himself.He wants to feel the cries of his ancestors, so he took on the job to play for a movie theme)


3) Alexender Markov (Paginini's Reincarnation)


4) Kyung Hwa (Awesome Bruch Violin Concerto's intepretation)


5) Joshua Bell (Expressiveness, best for legato pieces like ave maria,air on g,red violin theme)


6) Sarah Chang (Gentleness and expression)


7) Hillary Hahn (Mandy Moore Violinist.Sibelius Concerto)


8) David Oistrakh (best intepretation of Sibelius Concerto)



Lol and their videos btw.. Orite here's another one I want to highlight, Henry Lau! I like the idea combining classical techno music with popping locking dance. He's a hongkie faming himself all the way to korea's Super Junior. This is part of Super Junior Don't Don MV where Henry makes his 1st appearence in the group's 1st single of the album. Everyone's like "THE HELL? Who is that guy with the violin! he look so cool!"
