Brilliant composer and performer! Howard Levy is seriously one of the best musicians in the world! Virtuosic skills on many different instruments and constantly leading new paths on the diatonic harmonica (Blues harp) for probably about 50 years by now. All through hard work and dedication.
Probably the most talented unrecognized artist around today. Blow your harmonica Howard! Sounds Great and really good parts. Thank You for all your hard work.
Howard, es uno de los mejores músicos vivos en la actualidad, para mi merece un reconocimiento enorme al talento, la dedicación y la virtud. Maestro de maestros, un gigante.
I lived in Evanston at Albany care in 2009 nd 2010. I play every musical instrument there is. I'm learning to love orchestra in my 40's. Great harmonica player. I'm glad he looks classical nd not someone from a rock band.
I have played harmonica 51 years, in Bluegrass, Country, Blues, had a Swing Dance and Jazz band 10 years, folk music, pop, etc. I am not one of the blessed types who can play multiple instruments. Howard Levy here is also a very accomplished Jazz Pianist.
I play harmonica and I was maked classes with mr Levy the master and of course I now how this oberblows are dificult but I dont think that the harmonica works for Classic music.
I am sorry to spoil the party, but I think it is horrible. Technically, very intricate and complicated but simply not pleasant to listen to. Too clever by half. It seems to be a case of the composer making it difficult to play just for the sake of making it difficult to play. I find it to be a cacophony. I couldn't play it, but I would also not want to. I wonder what some members of the orchestra would say about it if you could persuade them to be honest.
Or Rachmaninov? Or Paganini for that matter - This was a self titled piece, specifically written to showcase a unique (so far as I know) virtuoso ability. Ok, Beethoven it aint, but awesome it is.
for a change thats good,all these years we listen classical performence on chromatic ha rmonica,this is a new flevour only one thing some notes are quite different in Diatonic scles,thats pequlear

🙏♥️♥️♥️🙏
Man.... No words...
This is insanely beautiful. Never disappointed by Levy
This is just about the most bad-ass thing I’ve ever heard. Bravo.
I don't agree. It is not really bad, and it has nothing to do with anyone's ass.
Unbelievable speed and expressiveness
Howard’s playing is brilliant!
Probably the most talented unrecognized artist around today. Blow your harmonica Howard! Sounds Great and really good parts. Thank You for all your hard work.
I'm a Mexican macho, I'm not crying it's just a grain of sand in my eye.
👏👏👏👏
Beautiful music!
Awesome harmonica by Howard Levy!!
Normally I would say unbelievable.
But not with Howard Levy.
Bravo!
Thank you Maestro Levy.
Absolutely Amazing.
Howard Levy is the GOAT👏👏👏
Le maitre incontesté du diato ....chapeau le mec !!!!
The man with two brains, both genius

🙏♥️🙏😉
J'approve! Terrific performance. Bravo!
Too cool
Unthinkable. That’s what he did.
OMG! What did I just witness here? How can so many different sounds come out of such a small instrument?
No if you look closely you can see there are also other instruments
🙏♥️🙏

He played with John Prine and also Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

Normally I don't go for this fancy guff, but what a virtuoso (I think that's the term)!
one of the only harmonica virtuosos out there and probably the best
What key harp(s)?
It's a shame the sound quality is terrible, but still a great perfomance!
Impossible Shiiiiit
Look Ma, no sheet music :)

The harmonica dont work for classical music. I play and now mr levy. Genius but dosent work
Two standing ovations...by the was what key harp?
@@JL-bu8bz Sounds like you would go more for Larry Adler, Willie Burger, Robert Bonfiglio, etc. Chromatic players.
for a change thats good,all these years we listen classical performence on chromatic ha rmonica,this is a new flevour only one thing some notes are quite different in Diatonic scles,thats pequlear
