if there is part 2 of this interview, could you ask what roman kim thinks of ysaye and his music please? i am fan of both😍❤️ thank you greatly for this wondeful interview!❤
This was a joy to watch. You really miss when a violinist this accomplished does not have a social presence as large as other soloists. His passion for the violin really resonates and his love for composition and violin playing really shines through!
I have never heard this man speak before. I had seen some of his epic videos and like everyone else already held him at the very highest level which is almost mythical. But now hearing him speak, and so beautifully, my heart holds him even higher in my estimations, if that was even possible! How wonderful that someone so talented and creative can relate to everything we know and understand. It makes me so happy that that the very best player can be so modest, warm and friendly. Not all famous successful people are like this! The way he speaks is next level, such a role model, and explains why his violin playing is at the next level. And hearing him engage like this is a valuable life lesson for us all. Thank you to you for this interview. And an extra feather in the cap to Roman Kim. Yes he is the living legend I hoped he was and so much more. The stuff of dreams and he is real. I am blown away!
What I respect most about Roman Kim is not his phenomenal violin-playing ability (although that, it goes without saying, is completely jaw-dropping). I love that he writes and arranges his own stuff. He stands in front of the audience as a composer (plus as a brilliant performer). He puts his heart and soul on the line by performing his own pieces. This is the historical soul of classical music. There are many amazing performers out there. But if everyone follows the "safe path" the industry creates for them of more performances of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto (or whatever), classical music just becomes a fossil. Of course, I love and respect great performances of Tchaikovsky et al, but we also need Roman Kim and his ilk to keep classical music truly alive. I look forward to his next concerto! I can say that about no other living virtuoso apart from Daniil Trifonov (although other suggestions welcome if you have them!). I have been waiting to learn more about what makes Roman Kim tick for a while. Thank you for the interview (and kudos for getting it!).
Some more great composer-pianists to look out for are Gabriela Montero and Stewart Goodyear. Gabriela is better known for her incredible improvisations than her compositions, but that's been an even rarer skill amongst classical musicians over the past century. Wynton Marsalis has also been writing a lot of classical music in recent years, including concertos for violin, trumpet and tuba, and he recorded several albums of pieces from the standard trumpet repertoire in the 80s and 90s, so he also counts as a classical composer-performer (although he's better known as a jazz musician). I struggle to think of any other well-known string players who regularly perform their own compositions though.
@@MelodiousThunk Thank you for the great suggestions. Have had a quick listen and will spend longer over the coming days. Just a quick reply to say thanks.
Although not strictly in the classical scene, I highly reccommend that you check out jazz-fusion guitarist and composer Shawn Lane. He composed and played live performances when he was only 16 years old, and at that age he was already considered a legend by many other virtuosos in the guitar community. It has been 20 years since his passing and now even the most advanced and most technically accomplished modern-day guitarists in the industry still look up to him as an absolute Mount Olympus of guitar playing, with his perfect blend of on-command, humanly impossible technique and emotional melodies that come directly from the heart. Interestingly, Shawn also played classical piano although he didn't play professionally. When I heard Roman Kim for the first time, I immediately thought about Shawn Lane. Both raise the bar to an unimaginable level with their respective instruments, have a great love for music, and share a very unique showmanship where they can perform anything they want, anywhere and anytime, and the things they play are uniquely their own, and are impossible to replicate.
Dang, Kim is so imaginative and well-rounded just as how skilled and capable he is! Thank you for having this interview with him! 😊 Edit: His love for learning anything too, is so inspirational!
This is an incredible interview! Thank you so much for allowing this opportunity to be shared! Kim is obviously an incredible creator and performer, but this provides so much of his enjoyable personality to shine through too. Great editing as well! I appreciated the subtitles. This is probably some of my very favorite content you’ve created!
Awesome man. Roman is so cool. I think it is great he is composing his own music as many soloists of the day do not do this really anymore. I read some criticism of Roman on the violinist subreddit and thought it was unfair, like calling him a "gimmick" because of the pieces he plays? I think a lot of people are jealous of his ability. He's paving the way for the next generation of violinist with his compositions just like Paganini did.
To hear this man speak about how he learned and the dedication he put in to learning was wonderful. I’m so happy you got this opportunity cause I’ve always wanted to know more about this man, what a wonderful interview thank you both for doing this.
I don't even play the violin, and am not even a performer, but I'm watching this solely because Roman Kim is insanely talented. Great interviewing skills! This video should have many more views
Wow you actually did it! I would love more serious content geared towards classical music fans. Interview with your personal luthier and your peers would be really cool!
I went to school for accounting and music, piano performance, and i can tell this dude is a bro. He seems like a genuinely awesome guy to hang around with. Someone to push you, laugh with you, chill with you. I like his demeanor. Thanks for sharing this!
It's so cool that he made his own strings and likes making things with his hands. Personally, I only recently discovered this joy when I set up my moped from scratch.
Потрясающий, необыкновенный Роман Ким! Сколько у него энергии и легкости во всем! Редкий талант и личнось одновременно! !одновременно!одновременно! Успехов и новых музыкальных идей Роману! Спасибо!!!
Apart from his unbelievably good play I love his joy in inventing something. A string-making machine! And all the other things he mentioned. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, thank you, @ViolinMechanic
Man I knew it! He loves Rock! Just the way he plays the violin reminds me of a rockstar. Absolute genius. When I saw his arrangement for Air on G for violin it reminds me of how it is played on classical guitar.
Roman talk so fast even English is not his first language. I guess his brain works so fast. I like his humble character . He moticates me to practice more . Scales!
Congratulations. A very informative, seriously good and fun too! I love Roman Kim. Ismiled all the way through. Now I must go on with my own journey and practice 😃
Wonderful interview! I'd love to hear Roman talk about Bach, what exactly does he like about Bach that makes him his favourite composer? And maybe his thought process when he interprets Bach etc.
16:19 Violin is a martial art. The samurai Miyamoto Musashi in ‘The Book of Five Rings’ gives similar advice in regards to practice as Roman does here: “You must walk down the path of a thousand miles step by step, keeping at heart the spirit which one gains from repeated practice with whomever one can get to practice with, and knowledge attained from whatever experiences you can come by, without impatience.” And to Roman’s point about practicing on the stage as much as you can, Miyamoto similarly writes “You can only fight [perform] the way you practice.”
Thank you ! This was a great interview! Роман , я так рада вашим видео и интервью! Я только начала заниматься скрипкой и вы меня вдохновляете ! Клип на свалке топ! :)
I watched it to the end. I don’t play an instrument but I am a writer. Most people don’t understand that discipline is painful, progression is painful. The reward is the work itself, the actual pain is the reward.
A big thanks to Roman Kim for this awesome opportunity!
Please remember me when you're famous! The content that you are producing is truly amazing. :D
@@Revan-up5tl always :)
ahhhh this was soooo cooolll!!! He is crazyyy
THIS IS REALLY CRAZY, YOU ACTUALY COULD HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH LEGEND
if there is part 2 of this interview, could you ask what roman kim thinks of ysaye and his music please? i am fan of both😍❤️ thank you greatly for this wondeful interview!❤
you are amazing for interviewing this legend. So it wasn’t an April fools joke
It was all actually an AI deepfake
@@nickcarroll8565shiver me timbers 😭
Damn his personality is way more interesting than I thought
Thank you for doing this interview Roman Kim. It is incredible listening to you play.
The second part of the interview!!! We are waiting. It's so interesting!

So he had a fever when he recorded his Beethoven 5th???? WHAT?????
Bro fried a lil bit of his brain using 250% of it

Definitely jealous... for sure!
Well I'm jealous of his skills too haha. He's a phenomenal composer and performer which I inspire to be like one day!
Wow Roman is very authentic... he definitely stands in the top league players. His creativity is very inspirational.
To hear this man speak about how he learned and the dedication he put in to learning was wonderful. I’m so happy you got this opportunity cause I’ve always wanted to know more about this man, what a wonderful interview thank you both for doing this.
Such a warm humble personality. Charming guy! Thanks for doing an interview with Roman!
You guys don't relize that this guy is likely the most vertiosic musician alive today, maybe of all human history.
He deserves way more attention!
I don't even play the violin, and am not even a performer, but I'm watching this solely because Roman Kim is insanely talented. Great interviewing skills! This video should have many more views
What a treat. Thank you for doing this interview with a living legend. Many words of wisdom not just for violin but life in general.
It's great to have revived the tradition of a virtuoso who also writes transcriptions and composes.
Really looking forward to Roman Kim strings. Love trying new strings. Helps me wanting to play more.
Crafted by quite possibly the most skilled violinist those strings must be perfect.
Huge fan of Roman - makes me happy he’s as charismatic as he is talented
The man, the myth, the legend…
Paganini II
Love how the host made the interview! Great questions and also funny.
Great video, awesome violinist. You have my admiration Mr. Kim.
This was much needed!! Fantastic interview with a truly one of a kind musician 🎻💯 A great peice of history added here!
Wow you actually did it! I would love more serious content geared towards classical music fans. Interview with your personal luthier and your peers would be really cool!
It's great to see the man behind the music. Thank you for capturing this so nicely. :)
This is what all of us were waiting for. Thank you so much, really!!

Thank you for sharing sir 🙏🏾
Roman Kim is an inspiration for all musicians
It’s surprising that he spoke as a normal human😝 Really great and precious interview!!!
Roman Kim is amazing!!!!! So many Korean or Korean heritage violinists taking over the world!!!!
I love Roman Kim and I would really love to meet him in person one day
Great interview, I needed to see this side of Roman, the human and the person...
Roman Kim is awesome, he is a remarkable musician and violinist. Great interview!
Thank you for this. It’s so heartwarming to see the modest, human side of this legend. What a passion for his art.
Great interview, not many do what you do, I would like to see more creativity in the future.
Great interview, I cant believe Roman is such a wholesome person. I admire him way more now.
Nice questions, cool interview! Greetings from Germany, KREUZZER!
Roman Kim is very out of this world! And now he speaks... he can reveal his own techniques, by explaining how...
Congratulations. A very informative, seriously good and fun too! I love Roman Kim. Ismiled all the way through. Now I must go on with my own journey and practice 😃
Been waiting for this since announced
Love your content! Keep up the great work! ❤
Very nice and genuine violin virtuoso
this is awesome. i hope to see more interviews!
Amazing interview, thank you ❤
Wow, a century meeting, thank you for your video 🎉🎉🎉
Wonderful interview! I'd love to hear Roman talk about Bach, what exactly does he like about Bach that makes him his favourite composer? And maybe his thought process when he interprets Bach etc.
Also a well conducted interview VM. Grats.

Thanks for this interview video, it's very interesting and informative!
Roman can a loving human buddy and an alien violinist at the same time.... ❤ Lovely and important interview ❤
Can’t wait!
Man I wish you had asked about his frets and his homemade strings
Stunning!! Enjoyable!
Roman Kim my idol!!
Inspiring. I will go practice now...
The peril of arranging recordings in hired venues---even when you feel unwell or are actually sick, you gotta push through
amazing interview
Johann Sebastian Bach. Yes. The one and only valid answer. Roman knows. He just knows. ❤
Nice interview. Good questions and so well edited video. Got a new sub!
Truly an inspiration
Oh! I wish you would have asked him about his "special glasses". I'm curious about how it works.
Humble guy
I watched it to the end. I don’t play an instrument but I am a writer. Most people don’t understand that discipline is painful, progression is painful. The reward is the work itself, the actual pain is the reward.
You are wonderful violin mechanics❤ 12:54
duuuuude i cant believe it its actually roman kim the man himself aaaaaaaa
This is awesome 👌
Very nice interview.
Valuable insight
Thank you!!
Thumbs up if you REALLY wanted him to say “I practice 40 hrs a day” or similar 🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🙌🏿
Awesome dude too, not just an amazing musician.
please pt 2
Thanks a lot!
Excellent
Roman Kim is so talented; I love Valse pour Ana :)
An interview for the history of music.
