I love how people just walk by as a violinist plays one of the greatest pieces ever composed for the solo violin and have no idea: 1. how beautiful of a piece this is 2. how difficult it is to play this 3. how talented this guy is.
European civiization died. The violinist had to be surrounded with a croud of listeners! A'm shocked! Nobody but one gave him money!!! Thanks, Artiom, your performance is wonderful.
Actually Europe is the same as ever. Classical music in the past was meant to be enjoyed by the select few, not the mass. It's exactly the same nowadays. Not everyone is capable to enjoy 15 minutes of music, even the most beautiful, just like not everyone is capable of sitting through a 4 hours epic movie.
@@peteroreilly8060 wtf is "pure music and art"? All of it is derivative of something else, and is largely subjective to the eye/ear of the beholder. Also, it's pretty shallow and ignorant to dismissively generalize per generational divides, as I and many people I know - who are part of those "two generations" you're so dismissive about - are well familiar with this music and appreciate it as much as anyone else.
This man seems to me a light in the darkness, his notes illuminating the streets around him with music masterfully wrought. May he continue to be a sound rising above the noise of life, lifting all those who will listen to a place of solace, if only for the seemingly temporary duration of this masterpiece.
Most of the walk by's have their eyes drawn to the money in his case, not the performer himself playing arguably the greatest piece of music ever written
There's no reason to think you can't if you can play the violin- and if you can't play the violin yet, well we all started at that point too! Artiom is an average good player but more than that he's just someone who loves to play the violin. He started out not knowing how to play it same as anyone else, right? He still has a "day job", or he did when this was made, just FYI.
All these m effin narcissists walking by as the dude his heart on the prima violin piece ever written,,, Bach ciaconna!!!! Shame on this self absorbed world!!!! Bravo my parisienne violinist Bravo!!!!!
A few notes: 1. He's not overdoing vibrato, like many overdo it, and it sounds great! 2. Flawless intonation. 3. More legato than my taste, but great nonetheless. 4. Shaking his right wrist when done reminds me of when I was working on it. Hard on the wrist to keep going non-stop by yourself. 5. How does he memorize the whole thing? I could only get down about 2 pages.
He's practicing Perlman style quite accurate copy, except for the rushing at 9:55 and later and missing more vibrato. Like someone else said, it would be nice to hear a proper recording of this. He's good enough he could perhaps give it something of himself. Itzhak Perlman has one of the more sonorous interpretations of this. This is just beautiful however and a lot of fun! I'd love to see him do Stern or Heifetz's version of this also. For those of you who want to quibble and quarrel about this or that, because you have little to do with your lives and no real friends, and want to sully up this board and the comments on Artiom's rendition of beautiful piece of music with your non-able-to-play-this-critiques and pedantic technical wisdom, your dorkish idiocy will be deleted. Go get a life.
amelie north He probably finds it too screechy & scrapy. Personally, i can stick with it, and endure all the passer-by noise, to get the benefit of this good interpretation.
Carlos Rodriguez I looked him up: Artiom Shishkov. Obviously a very talented violinist, that has been awarded many prizes in different competitions and played with some famous orchestras. Most people know that Joshua Bell also played the Chaconne in a train station also without getting much attention! Do you what violin he is playing? This audio recording is not perfect, so you can't really if it's a really god violin. This piece by Bach is perhaps the most beautiful piece of music for violin ever written, and it is also very difficult to play.
Crazy to see all the people just walk past, oblivious to the nearly flawless performance of one of the most difficult and sublime pieces for solo violin ever composed
It just goes to show how disconnected we have become from true music, art, beauty & genius as most just walk by. It is one of the greatest human creations of all time across any field. Yet it does require sustained attention to truly appreciate it's structure, recurring themes & journey through so many emotions. Bach had come home from a trip only to discover his wife was dead & buried. I've been lucky to hear this live in a concert room but it would be so special to also hear it unexpectedly on the streets away from the pedestal. While everyone else is attracted to the loudest speaker, I will be there with a few special others revelling in the glory of this divine creation!
"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind." - Johannes Brahms about Bach's Chaconne
And then, of course, he sat down and transcribed it (magnificently) for piano, for which all of us pianists are profoundly grateful. For those who can pass this by without a pause, I weep.
Respect! Solid techniques, very fine performing especially disruptions on the street and still able to maintain those details and transitions between notes. The intonation is perfect and is definitely world class level. We need more of these musician on the street❤ I would have tip in €50 notes if I was there. Very touching
I can't even begin to get across how difficult this piece is. The violin is never comfortable to play as multiple strings, chords are broken and awkward to get to and with an acoustic violin the chance of crunching this high chords is huge but histone was sweet and light and then heavy and back to light. My chaconne is a shade of this one. I'm jealous in the nicest way possible.
People can be busy and have deadlines, I would’ve liked to have stopped to listen to many when I visited Paris, I saw one girl setting up every day but never saw her play, I gave her a metro pass 😃
Yeah id have tipped 100. I hope this dude found big work with an orchestral lead. Rushed in a couple of parts (reference Hillary Hahns interp.) but as a whole would bring a tear to any eye that felt the piece

Wäre ich da gewesen und hätte die Zeit und Gelegenheit dazu gehabt, hätte ich diesem Geiger stundenlang zuhören können. Wirklich gut gemacht!
Those street players are as good even better than the big masters , and the new generation is putting all the past generation down. People pass like nothing is happening and he is playing the most monumental work in the music world and playing it well. The street musicians love to go to underground tunnels , the acoustics are great there. Yes street but he must be a top player in the Conservatory. Bravo , bravo , bravo ......
vivo en paris y los que pasan indiferentes , son turistas y aclaro , normalmente es gente que no tiene mucha cultura , solo un ligero interes por esta y dudo que conozcan esta pieza no se detienen por verguenza y snobismo , los pocos parisinos que saben se desplazan a su trabajo y tienen el tiempo contado, pues la mitad de ellos ni siquiera son franceces
Lady take pity of him and put 5$ in his case. 10 more donation and he can have his 25k bow rehair 😂 Tomorrow he will play Caprice24 for buying new strings on his 1.5M violin.
Don't think so. You don't have to be famous to play the Chaconne. But this guy, whoever he is, he does play it extremely well. I wish he was indoors somewhere with better sound.
whoever this person is. this is a great piece played well. to think this is in some street somewhere. probably the best violin piece ever written. this piece by Bach is not recommended for beginners or anyone who is not very familiar with classical music.
He is really good. at 5:10 he even plays those little grace (or pickup?) notes. Why isn't he auditioning for the Paris Symphony Orchestra or something?
As chaconne is one of my favourites, best one is played by hilary hahn and then this guy has played marvellously there was some glitch(well thats bcoz he is playing outside ) . Altast , i would say BRAVO!!!

He is no 'street violinist' but, obviously, a 1st class one who 'knows the score'! I'll bet my neck on that.
Excellent performance. What a gift for the passers-by!
The purest music ever composed, polyphonic writing on just one instrument, praise Bach and this musician for his respectful playing
On a random day, while walking through a random street, hearing Chaconne with such a great performance.. I'd feel blessed as i never felt before..
What an incredible player. I would pay thousands to watch this man perform.

Artiom Shishkov is the violinist. credits to tomboyer5608 for discovering this

yeah I'm trying to learn Heifetz's version ..its fucking insane
The right acoustic and the right microphone in the right place in that acoustic and you would hear a different sound from this lovely violinist
I knew it! As soon as he began playing, I immediately thought that this version sounds like Izthak Perlman's version. Thanks for the confirmation!
and to kill time between train connexions...
音好準!
前にもアップしてあったよね‼︎
Nathan Milstein's version is my favourite.

Pretty funny, this is not a "street violinist" it's Artiom Shishkov, a well known Russian-born virtuoso. Terrific performance by the way.
And he is at Place des Vosges, Paris.
Not "russian-born", he's belarusian violinist (Belarus is not Russia!)))
Well he might not be a "street violinist" but as far as I can see he plays on the street!!! Where I live street musicians are forbidden!
his bow arm was way too good for a "street gypsy"
