Yes.. watching his left hand fingering. He often uses his thumb on the G-string! His is also able to use his pinky on the G-string simultaneously when the other fingers are used for the D-, A- and E- strings! I don’t know if works by Paganini require those odd fingerings?… (except for some of Kim’s Paganini variations )
As a professional violinist, I must say this was downright maddeningly astonishing. Never heard anything like it, it takes violin playing to a brand new standard.
I am in disbelief in how he hasn't become insanely popular. I personally don' think there is anyone to have ever existed that could ever do what he can do
Respect for the videographer or director who made sure to give us clear shots of his hands during the most insane chord shapes and passages as opposed to focusing on something else.
@@ashleythorpe7933Not sure if you’re just being funny … But this performance is genuinely unbelievable. I literally thought a few times he was editing in a second violin. I don’t get how he’s getting so many voices from one violin and one bow.
@@tommeng6522 it was the opposite for me lmao don't get me wrong Liszt's transcription of it is far more superior(especially Katsaris' rendition) but technical-wise this definitely brings the bag home, the piano is pretty limitless in transcription since you have 10 fingers and 7-8 octaves to work with, a wide variety of technique from chord tremolos to 3 hand illusion to absolutely incredible voicings, in the violin you only have 4 strings to work with, it'll be extremely difficult to emulate an orchestra with that
I have studied violin myself and I have seen and heard many great violinists, but Roman Kim is revolutionizing the whole violin-technique. You have to go back to Paganini to find somebody that innovative and groundbreaking.
Marvelous! This redefines what a violin can do: complex polyphony with clear voicing, unprecedented dynamic range, full of texture and color changes mimicking different instruments… I think Beethoven himself would be amazed.
Beethoven himself wrote many passages for violin that consist of multiple voices. Bach before him composed 3 full-blown fugues for solo violin. It isn't a new or redefined idea. But using your thumb on the fingerboard? That's pretty unique for this instrument.
Bach's fugues often have only one voice doing anything substantial at a time, maybe two. Tedi Papavrami transcribed the Great G Minor for solo violin a while back -- now that's true polyphony. Roman is doing something similar, except incorporating all kinds of wild extended techniques and requiring insane contortions that make it much, much harder.
Beethoven composed his cello sonatas for Jean-Louis Duport, who wrote one or two etudes that use this technique. So he could have been aware that this was possible... although Roman Kim makes the Duport etude look like a tutorial level.
He turned Beethoven’s 5th into paganini, this is insane, you can even hear the individual instruments that play in this symphony, on a single violin too
@@itamarbar9580 those can only be classified as great violin performers, Roman Kim now can be considered as compositional violinist for his transcripts works, which makes him closer to Paganini, I think maybe after another 10-15 years we’ll see someone that’s equally skillful as Paganini in terms of composition and performance of violin musics

The first solo “polyphonic” virtuoso violinist/composer to eclipse and even surpass the great Paganini. This is tantamount to “one giant leap”. What a great privilege to behold this astonishingly gifted genius deliver yet another unprecedented and unrivaled performance milestone in music. Will virtuosi be courageous enough to take on this piece as part of their repertoire? Perhaps, but these masterpieces will stretch and task us “mere mortal” violinists beyond our limitations of dexterity and precision. Witnessed here indeed is audacious and ground-breaking mastery and creative prowess. One need only listen to solo works such as his J.S.Bach Air on G-string, “I Brindisi”, “Dies Irae”, Mozart “Eine Klein Nachtmusik”, and “Sanctus et Agnis”, to appreciate the genius. His brilliantly innovative expansion of fingering techniques now reach beyond complacency and free us from mediocrity. Roman Kim, like Paganini before him, has profoundly redefined what is possible with a bow and four strings.
Ernst already did that and for solo violin, surpassed Paganini. Kim is on the same league if not higher when it comes to fully harnessing the possibilities of the violin as a polyphonic instrument. Although there are others doing it too, for Bach or Liszt for example. So it's more like people are finding this way to further advance violin technique. That, and guitar transcriptions with endless controlled ricochets (see Ricci's or Leong's transcriptions).
I'm completely speechless. Most probably while watching this performance I was feeling like the ones that listened to Pagagnini for the first time. It was completely crazy, what a time to be alive. Bravo!!
I’m not sure people understand the levels this guy has reached in his craft. I legitimately think this may be THE highest achievement in history by a human. Those who’ve spent countless hours playing the violin understand this. A small percentage of violinists can reach levels where you can play Paganini and Ernst quite well, and you’ll still NEVER be able to do the things this guy can do. And it’s not even just that he’s able to play the notes, which in itself would be close to impossible for many due to not having even the sheer physical abilities, he plays incredibly musically. It’s like, if everyone is trying to achieve a 3:30 mile run, and then all of a sudden someone comes and does a 2:30 mile run.
So that's what we were waiting for so long.. it was totally worth it. I didn't know this was possible at all. This is just another level of polyphonic violin playing. And all that without his crazy glasses... Who knows what's he's able to do with them
@@michaelkoo9634 Roman's mom was a violinist in a symphony orchestra, he started playing at age 5 but his progress was so great that by age 7 he was being taught by one of the best violin instructors in Russia: Galina Turchaninova, who was the teacher of Maxim Vengerov
Why is Roman Kim not insanely famous ? It is simple -- he is absolutely unique, and has gone far beyond the range and scope of a normal concert violinist. People without musical discrimination (or ones filled with jealousy) work behind the scenes to discredit him or play down his accomplishments. And who knows, he may well be high functioning Aspergers and doesn't know how to (or care to) play the political scene you have to play to get the most elite doors opened. It is disgusting -- far more people deserve to hear his genius. Truly one of a kind.
He is by far the best violinist of all time. Double stops with harmonics on one string and regular notes on the other, while throwing in left hand pizz? Come on.
Not gonna lie, I'm here because of Twoset Violin's video. Someone in the comments was like, "If you think this (his Mozart video) is something, you should see him do Beethoven 5." And now, I see why they said that. He graduated from being a string quartet to being an entire freaking orchestra. 😵💫
I'm Wondering how all of this started, maybe their string quarter mates, never arrived and he had to take the entire class alonee and maybe this is how he said this won't happen to me againg and start practicing in a whole differente new level
@@dang5874 nope, that's a new type of harmonics that Roman developed he refers to as 'forced' they are very flexible compared to standard harmonics and foundational to his multi-voice interpretations m.th-cam.com/video/gQhQ06kXt0g/w-d-xo.html he developed and played them even when he used to play standard unmodified $ multi-million 1695 Guarneri over a decade ago, he gave it up because he wanted to experiment violin design and modifications and in the process of that work this is his final instrument that's much louder than a standard violin and has wider dynamic tonal range, oh and it has no frets but has scallops on the fingerboard
Blown away. Speechless. Just when you think there can't be any new innovations in what a violinist can do without being dorky, in comes roman and blows it out of the water. I still think you're Paganini reincarnated. Thank you!!!!
So now the thumb it’s an actual playable finger and I guess that scales, exercises or etudes would need to be developed from now. In more than 20 years as a classical violinist, I’ve never seen such an extended use of the thumb in full use. This is totally unbelievable 🙇🏻♂️
He does it a few times on Air on the G String for solo violin, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik for solo violin, but this here, he uses it a looot, it's unbelievable!
@@Yakumo00o I thought the violin is a fret-less instrument. Did he add frets on his fingerboard? I do see what appear to be horizontal markings.but not sure if that’s the same as frets
@@MustafaAlmosawi indeed, violin is a fret-less instrument and for e.g. glissando you need a fret-less fingerboard, but there are also some violins with frets, especially electric violins. For me it looks like he added frets on his fingerboard
I dont know if anybody else has noticed a slightly hidden technique Kim employs, which is the addition of his thumb to the regular four-finger system. The fact that he actually practices it and proves its feasibility is really jaw-dropping(I say this because I once had the same thought of using my thumb, but since it’s so unconventional, as a consequence, I never thought it’s even possible😅)
@@ValkyRiver Brilliant job on this. I have been preparing a similar arrangement of Schumann's 3rd in this same style in lieu of waiting for Roman to release the sheet music, incidentally...
In the span of a year, he insanely increased his techniques, mastering all harmonics and doing unisons that us mortals cannot physically attempt without physical pain.
3:08 I don't play violin at all but that fingering and harmonics already gave me a cramp Roman Kim just doing his thing being and revolutionizing violin solo playing. We all can't help but marvel
First, figuring out how to transcribe it then, figuring out how to play it. Ernst's arrangement of Der Erlkonig sounds like 2 violins but this sounds like four or five. Bravo!!! Amazing, captivating work. And enjoyable!!!! Like magic.
Dear God why😭😭I’m still struggling getting the viola part done perfectly, then this one plays the whole orchestra including timpani on one violin. Wow just wow
the greatest violin achievement ever in history of humanity wtfffff!!!!! And for the blind ones that see only technique, that is the most passionated execution of 5th symphony ever played. Dirty and rocky as it should be, god blessed finally
That's right, usually when people find something innovative, some of them create silly reasons to hate the innovator Also i replayed it countless times 😅
I can’t believe how Kim continues to improve the extent of violin technique by transcribing these impossible single instrument pieces! Not to mention how effortless it seems!!! We are certainly witnessing a new hyper-player and his era of playing.
Absolutely mind-blowing. It's very rare to see such a case in which a virtuoso impresses as much by his technical abilities as by his musical understanding, respect for the work, seriousness of approach, care for details, aesthetic consistency and innovative ideas. Wow!
I feel like the violin hasn't been stretched to new limits in such a profound way since Paganini. It's like I'm watching history happen. As a professional violinist who has played plenty of Paganini and dabbled in Ernst, I can say that I have not been this dumbfounded since I heard Last Rose of Summer for the first time. This is something different even than that though. I may just be ignorant but I don't know anybody who's stretched the instrument like this since Ernst-- so in the last 150 years. I feel like the what's possible on the violin is suddenly different. I can't even feel bad about my own playing because of how in awe I am. Unreal.
Ground breaking work. Listened to this probably 10 times now. Feels like watching history being made. The use of harmonics for huge chords is amazing. Bravo
Sounds like sul ponticello, but the footage does zoom in and he's not actually playing on the bridge. Similar timbre to the viola solo near the beginning of Janáček's 2nd string quartet.
То, чем занимается Роман, правомочно сравнивать с масштабом исследования скрипки самыми великими исполнителями уровня Корелли, Хандошкина, Паганини, Венявского. Они подняли горизонты исполнительской техники на скрипке до немыслимых ранее высот и сложности, Роман уже заслужил себе достойное место в этом "пантеоне" великих музыкантов! *#БРАВО**!!!*
From the comments you can see why he is not a resounding success, there is a lot of envy. And the more one knows about music, the more this feeling grows against the most talented violinist of this century. I, and every human being alive, have not seen Paganini play, but this lad beats them all by a wide difference in talent and makes me proud to have seen Kim perform such a marvel.
@@pulsar2049 At the top the only difference between the 'greats' so to speak is playing style but all of them can play anything even if there aren't recordings for us to see.
@@ValkyRiver On top of the new harmonics technique he invented, I think any violinist other than Kim would need an insane amount of practice to learn to play notes with their thumb
Over the last 30 years, whenever I met violinists, I told that violinists must use thumb to play violin and develop technics, but they told it was impossible. Now I can see it is possible. I have been waiting for this moment around 30 years and finally I can prove that I was correct. Dear Roman KIM, I really appreciate you prove my word. Thank you. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
oh my god.... roman kim has done it again. this is mindblowing honestly. that was so amazing i don't even know what to say. thank you for blessing us with such music
I think roman Kim gives all of us the experience of watching paganini alive playing for us. Imagine this kind of sick talent playing in the 1700', now all the legends about He selling his soul for talent make sense. In the minds of those people this kind of playing was something impossible, and the only way to make it something comprehensible was attributed it to the devil. Im so happy to be alive in the same era of Roman and be able to watch this kind of videos. Making the impossible , possible. MAESTRO!!!
In Roman's video titled "ROMY KING plays HIGHWAY STAR of DEEP PURPLE [Violin Solo]" there's a comment thread that has his replies explaining about his fingerboard with those fret like bumps. Original comment is from Roman himself "Thank you guys!!!" One person asked in the replies "What's that fingerboard?" and he replied "Fingerboard i developed myself .I make many experiments on violin)" and then 2 people asked "It looks very interesting! Can you explain the benefits of these little fret-like bumps? I would like to try that fingerboard!" and "What does that fingerboard does?" and he replied "make sound much more precise. it gives many things-i cant explain,but you can understand when you try this.but you must to play violin a bit different way-fingers must be putted much more flat for example" and "maybe) but you know i play with this things something like 1 year. . .that is experiment.i can play precise on violin without,i played whole my life on normal violin-hear my earlier videos. but about precise i mean in a big hall. you can hear difference in big hall. about microfone-maybe more,i dont know)" So I guess it makes sense to be using that kind of fingerboard to play these out of this world chords. Absolutely mind blowing!
Paganini reborn. Human kind has been waiting for you since Niccolò passed. There won't be anyone like you for centuries. Thank you just for existing. Especially in times like these.
The use of the thumb, flageolet voicing and the measured tremolo are simply stunning. I've never heard anything close to this good with all of these techniques being used.
Between the harmonics, voicings, accuracy, bow distribution, emotions, unique fingerings, and intonation, the beauty becomes the most apparent and memorable. Roman Kim is a violinist that will continue to be among the Greats, may his violin playing continue to provide joy and unimaginable beauty to the world!
What in the world! I have never seen violin played like that before… he is the Paganini of our generation. People will be studying his works for years to come.
As a guitarist of over 40 years i look at what this guy does in complete awe and amazement at the impossible techniques he is using...truly imposibly inspiring.
Difficult to believe. I am a bit of a Beethoven expert. This is flawless interpretation. Where do you even start of the levels of difficulty to pull this off? I'm going to stop trying to analyse and just enjoy the bliss.
you are no expert of anything, let alone the maestro, if you believe this interpretation bears any music value. Dont believe me? go listen to kleiber and the vienna phil play the real deal.
I have very bad mental health problems and love classic music. Roman Kim has been my go to person to help me calm down for a few years now. Thank you Roman for sharing your talent :)
Roman Kim is like a 10 000$ bottle of wine. While most people can't tell the difference with a 100$ bottle, experts know when they are in the presence of greatness.
Mind blowing arrangement and playing! Those hybrid bow waving double stops, with legato on one string and flying stacatto on the other, might just be an actual first in violin technique; not something one sees every day (or century). Thank you, Roman. You made my day significantly better.
Roman Kim is completely next level, but that technique has been around since the eighteenth century! I don't know the violin rep as well but there's a couple of cello etudes by Duport that use it.
Holy crap what was that hand position at 3:10??!!!!!!!!! You have changed is all forever Roman! I’m a cellist and I’ve only known thumb positions on cello but I never knew that such things could happen on violin!!!!!!
"We told you to bring an orchestra!" - (*Coughs in Roman Kim*)Yes, and I did. I believe now I know how people felt when they saw paganini playing. It's hard to believe that someone is actually playing that on one violin.
It's not just the technique. It's the legitimate realization of the parts that Beethoven wrote. It's simply fabulous artistry of the violin and arranger and reverse orchestrator rolled into one. I think Beethoven would be proud. He knew a kindred spirit when he found one..the people who broke through all the boundaries to do something different. "Art must not stand still"
Unbelievable genius. I'm stunned at the talent and skill of your transcription and playing. The first violist that I have seen in my entire life that I would even begin to put in the same sentence as Paganini. Wow.
Браво!!! Брависсимо!!! Родился новый дьявол скрипки, новый Великий Паганини. Обратите внимание на его тень на видео. Оператор чётко снял не только его руки, но и его душу. Как жаль, что я не слышал его раньше. Теперь буду следить за его творчеством. Брависсимо!!!
gente, tenemos que entender que estamos ante quien podría ser el mejor violinista de toda la historia, seamos responsables, suscribanse, pongan me gusta y compartan a todos los que puedan esta obra de arte
Wow...Paganini plays Beethoven! I could use some amazingly eloquent phrases to describe this virtuosic performance, but the two words that came to mind were "Holy Crap!!" Roman Kim....I don't know where that other person playing the violin is hidden in this video, as often it truly sounds like two people are playing perfectly in sync. I have played the violin for over 50 years, and hope someday to be able to see you. Rock on Roman Kim!
Some day in the future this piece will be a audition requirement for the Juilliard entrance exam. I am lucky for I will die before that time. This piece is by far the most difficult piece ever for the violin.
At the first listening you are astonished, at the second you get excited because you observe a moment of evolution, at the third listening you enjoy the music. The more I listen the more I like it.
First of all, amazing techniques as always. I'm guessing even Roman needs those "fret bumps" I see on the fingerboard to help with the intonation on all the crazy chords?
@@ryancantpvp no, fingerboard grooves run parallel to the strings and are usually limited to the first position area. The violinist will get the fingerboard planed when the grooves become too deep because they hinder intonation. These appear to be actual frets, running perpendicular to the strings.
He talked about them, he likes to experiment a lot on his violin, I think he said it gives a different, fuller, richer sound to the violin, specially on big halls, he also hand makes his own violin strings, and his iconic prismatic lenses which claims to alter his perception of time and give him more control on his playing, also experiments with his bows as well
Insane. Just insane. Breathtaking, jaw dropping.... eye-popping. As a struggling violinist myself, I can't put my fingers into anything close to most of those shapes, let alone move them to another one. There are no words, really - RK is just off the chart.
Without a doubt the best violinist in the world. you have a demonic technique and an abysmal talent comparable to that of Paganini or Ernst, I haven't seen anyone like you since L.Kogan and Kavakos.
I would say without a doubt the most innovative of all time… but to be the best you have to play a much wider array of repertoire that we have not heard him play yet. On top of that, all of the interpretations have to be near perfection to grant the title of best violinist
I can't find the exact words to express my emotion listening to his performance. I wonder if his long fingers contribute to his dexteriy to play the violin as he does. I just can say MAGNIFICENT!!!!. I am not an expert in music but I can appreciate these beautiful sounds and a good interpreter. 👏👏👏❤👍

@@michaelkoo9634 Roman's mom was a violinist in a symphony orchestra, he started playing at age 5 but his progress was so great that by age 7 he was being taught by one of the best violin instructors in Russia: Galina Turchaninova, who was the teacher of Maxim Vengerov
Ahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂 LOL LOLASO
Why is Roman Kim not insanely famous ? It is simple -- he is absolutely unique, and has gone far beyond the range and scope of a normal concert violinist. People without musical discrimination (or ones filled with jealousy) work behind the scenes to discredit him or play down his accomplishments. And who knows, he may well be high functioning Aspergers and doesn't know how to (or care to) play the political scene you have to play to get the most elite doors opened. It is disgusting -- far more people deserve to hear his genius. Truly one of a kind.
He is by far the best violinist of all time. Double stops with harmonics on one string and regular notes on the other, while throwing in left hand pizz? Come on.
Nope. Not even close.
@jack burgess2 Thank you for your thoughtful response. When you get a chance, there's a cleanup on aisle 4.
he might aswell be making coffee in the next room and we just don't know it!
Every critic on Roman's playing is proof of frustration
@@herwigcoryn6197
In some cases, perhaps.
In others it is just proof of listening to violinists who are better.
Not gonna lie, I'm here because of Twoset Violin's video. Someone in the comments was like, "If you think this (his Mozart video) is something, you should see him do Beethoven 5." And now, I see why they said that. He graduated from being a string quartet to being an entire freaking orchestra. 😵💫
ditto
Ditto2
i watched twosetviolin vid too but i watched eine kleine nachtumusik roman kim first
seriously my left wrist cramped solely from watching this!😭
I'm Wondering how all of this started, maybe their string quarter mates, never arrived and he had to take the entire class alonee and maybe this is how he said this won't happen to me againg and start practicing in a whole differente new level
Bro even his harmonics sound like flutes! This is beyond mind blowing
The violin is fretted, i guess that makes harmonics easier
@@dang5874 nope, that's a new type of harmonics that Roman developed he refers to as 'forced' they are very flexible compared to standard harmonics and foundational to his multi-voice interpretations m.th-cam.com/video/gQhQ06kXt0g/w-d-xo.html
he developed and played them even when he used to play standard unmodified $ multi-million 1695 Guarneri over a decade ago, he gave it up because he wanted to experiment violin design and modifications and in the process of that work this is his final instrument that's much louder than a standard violin and has wider dynamic tonal range, oh and it has no frets but has scallops on the fingerboard
@@LogioTek I see, thanks for the info!
Blown away. Speechless.
Just when you think there can't be any new innovations in what a violinist can do without being dorky, in comes roman and blows it out of the water.
I still think you're Paganini reincarnated.
Thank you!!!!
None of Paganini pieces are as hard as this.
@@망히-z9z He means Kim is innovative like Paganini
Now I am curious about the "dorky" type of innovations you have encountered.
So now the thumb it’s an actual playable finger and I guess that scales, exercises or etudes would need to be developed from now.
In more than 20 years as a classical violinist, I’ve never seen such an extended use of the thumb in full use. This is totally unbelievable 🙇🏻♂️
He does it a few times on Air on the G String for solo violin, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik for solo violin, but this here, he uses it a looot, it's unbelievable!
I guess the frets help a lot, especially when he uses his thumb.
@@Yakumo00o I thought the violin is a fret-less instrument. Did he add frets on his fingerboard? I do see what appear to be horizontal markings.but not sure if that’s the same as frets
@@MustafaAlmosawi indeed, violin is a fret-less instrument and for e.g. glissando you need a fret-less fingerboard, but there are also some violins with frets, especially electric violins. For me it looks like he added frets on his fingerboard
So does the violin in this video actually has frets?? Like you can definitely see lines, but it’s hard to say if they are 2-D or 3-D.
I dont know if anybody else has noticed a slightly hidden technique Kim employs, which is the addition of his thumb to the regular four-finger system. The fact that he actually practices it and proves its feasibility is really jaw-dropping(I say this because I once had the same thought of using my thumb, but since it’s so unconventional, as a consequence, I never thought it’s even possible😅)
I have not seen that before, thats amazing.
Yes, I noticed it. He is playing with 5 fingers, for the first time in the violin history.
Yep
Like Django Rheinhard technique.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. How did you condense a whole orchestra into one instrument is beyond me. Genius.

For me, Roman is the most impressive modern era violinist. Truly incredible mix of virtuosity and creativity.

Also i replayed it countless times 😅

Absolutely mind-blowing. It's very rare to see such a case in which a virtuoso impresses as much by his technical abilities as by his musical understanding, respect for the work, seriousness of approach, care for details, aesthetic consistency and innovative ideas. Wow!
I feel like the violin hasn't been stretched to new limits in such a profound way since Paganini. It's like I'm watching history happen. As a professional violinist who has played plenty of Paganini and dabbled in Ernst, I can say that I have not been this dumbfounded since I heard Last Rose of Summer for the first time. This is something different even than that though. I may just be ignorant but I don't know anybody who's stretched the instrument like this since Ernst-- so in the last 150 years. I feel like the what's possible on the violin is suddenly different. I can't even feel bad about my own playing because of how in awe I am. Unreal.
Ground breaking work. Listened to this probably 10 times now. Feels like watching history being made. The use of harmonics for huge chords is amazing. Bravo

Sounds like sul ponticello, but the footage does zoom in and he's not actually playing on the bridge. Similar timbre to the viola solo near the beginning of Janáček's 2nd string quartet.
How he is doing that harmonics???
То, чем занимается Роман, правомочно сравнивать с масштабом исследования скрипки самыми великими исполнителями уровня Корелли, Хандошкина, Паганини, Венявского.

Cant wait to see twoset react to this as evidence 3 of Roman Kim being a literal alien.
After this video was uploaded, i have been waiting since then for their reaction and analysis
From the comments you can see why he is not a resounding success, there is a lot of envy. And the more one knows about music, the more this feeling grows against the most talented violinist of this century. I, and every human being alive, have not seen Paganini play, but this lad beats them all by a wide difference in talent and makes me proud to have seen Kim perform such a marvel.
Perhaps, but how does that explain why Jacob Collier is such a sensation?
Simply the best violinist alive to date, and potentially the best to ever pick up a violin. He would definitely give Paganini a run for his money.
Perlman is still alive though. Roman is likely top 5 though
@@pulsar2049 At the top the only difference between the 'greats' so to speak is playing style but all of them can play anything even if there aren't recordings for us to see.
But do all the top violinists know this harmonic techniques?
@@ValkyRiver On top of the new harmonics technique he invented, I think any violinist other than Kim would need an insane amount of practice to learn to play notes with their thumb
In my opinion Perman is not in top 5 😂😅@pulsar2049
Over the last 30 years, whenever I met violinists, I told that violinists must use thumb to play violin and develop technics, but they told it was impossible. Now I can see it is possible. I have been waiting for this moment around 30 years and finally I can prove that I was correct. Dear Roman KIM, I really appreciate you prove my word. Thank you. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Omg same and was praying someone will do it!
haha lol
This is hard enough to play for solo piano, but doing it for solo violin is absolute insanity. 😮 Wonderfully done! ❤💯
You know this is near impossible when the scale on 6:49 is the easiest part of the whole reduction. Amazing!
DUDE.
When I’m already impressed he just keeps dropping more twists to his music. I love this
oh my god.... roman kim has done it again. this is mindblowing honestly. that was so amazing i don't even know what to say. thank you for blessing us with such music
Roman Kim no necesitas acompañamiento, tu violín es completo, mis más sinceros respetos el mejor violinistas de nuestra época, saludos de Paraguay
Kim's Violin: GOD PLEASE SAVE ME!
**Begins playing "God Save the King"**
Violin: "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!"
I think roman Kim gives all of us the experience of watching paganini alive playing for us. Imagine this kind of sick talent playing in the 1700', now all the legends about He selling his soul for talent make sense. In the minds of those people this kind of playing was something impossible, and the only way to make it something comprehensible was attributed it to the devil. Im so happy to be alive in the same era of Roman and be able to watch this kind of videos. Making the impossible , possible. MAESTRO!!!
In Roman's video titled "ROMY KING plays HIGHWAY STAR of DEEP PURPLE [Violin Solo]" there's a comment thread that has his replies explaining about his fingerboard with those fret like bumps.
Original comment is from Roman himself "Thank you guys!!!" One person asked in the replies "What's that fingerboard?" and he replied "Fingerboard i developed myself .I make many experiments on violin)" and then 2 people asked "It looks very interesting! Can you explain the benefits of these little fret-like bumps? I would like to try that fingerboard!" and "What does that fingerboard does?" and he replied "make sound much more precise. it gives many things-i cant explain,but you can understand when you try this.but you must to play violin a bit different way-fingers must be putted much more flat for example" and "maybe) but you know i play with this things something like 1 year. . .that is experiment.i can play precise on violin without,i played whole my life on normal violin-hear my earlier videos. but about precise i mean in a big hall. you can hear difference in big hall. about microfone-maybe more,i dont know)"
So I guess it makes sense to be using that kind of fingerboard to play these out of this world chords. Absolutely mind blowing!
this is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen
Paganini reborn.
Human kind has been waiting for you since Niccolò passed.
There won't be anyone like you for centuries.
Thank you just for existing. Especially in times like these.
The use of the thumb, flageolet voicing and the measured tremolo are simply stunning. I've never heard anything close to this good with all of these techniques being used.
That was the single most astonishing feat of musical performance i have ever seen.

I think I only took two breaths while I watched the whole piece. As other people had say here: history in the making! Bravissimo!
What in the world! I have never seen violin played like that before… he is the Paganini of our generation. People will be studying his works for years to come.
Violinist: We press violin strings with 4 fingers.

Lol
As a guitarist of over 40 years i look at what this guy does in complete awe and amazement at the impossible techniques he is using...truly imposibly inspiring.
Difficult to believe. I am a bit of a Beethoven expert. This is flawless interpretation. Where do you even start of the levels of difficulty to pull this off? I'm going to stop trying to analyse and just enjoy the bliss.
you are no expert of anything, let alone the maestro, if you believe this interpretation bears any music value. Dont believe me? go listen to kleiber and the vienna phil play the real deal.

Roman Kim is like a 10 000$ bottle of wine. While most people can't tell the difference with a 100$ bottle, experts know when they are in the presence of greatness.
I didn't notice I was holding my breath until I feel a little lightheaded. Pure brilliance as always, Mr Kim.
Mind blowing arrangement and playing! Those hybrid bow waving double stops, with legato on one string and flying stacatto on the other, might just be an actual first in violin technique; not something one sees every day (or century).
Thank you, Roman. You made my day significantly better.
Roman Kim is completely next level, but that technique has been around since the eighteenth century! I don't know the violin rep as well but there's a couple of cello etudes by Duport that use it.
Roman Kim: "Look at me...I'm the Orchestra now"
Conductor: ...
This man has pulled so much ahead of the violin community that his talent is not comprehensible for anyone anymore
Holy crap what was that hand position at 3:10??!!!!!!!!! You have changed is all forever Roman! I’m a cellist and I’ve only known thumb positions on cello but I never knew that such things could happen on violin!!!!!!
"We told you to bring an orchestra!"
- (*Coughs in Roman Kim*)Yes, and I did.
I believe now I know how people felt when they saw paganini playing. It's hard to believe that someone is actually playing that on one violin.
We absolutely need a reaction on this by @Twosetviolin
It's not just the technique. It's the legitimate realization of the parts that Beethoven wrote. It's simply fabulous artistry of the violin and arranger and reverse orchestrator rolled into one. I think Beethoven would be proud. He knew a kindred spirit when he found one..the people who broke through all the boundaries to do something different. "Art must not stand still"
Потрясающе!!!!!! Спасибо!
Думаю, сам Бетховен был бы поражен такой интерпретацией и таким виртуозным исполнением.

Oh, Roman does not need the glasses anymore... He has reached perfection!
First of all, amazing techniques as always. I'm guessing even Roman needs those "fret bumps" I see on the fingerboard to help with the intonation on all the crazy chords?
I heard that those bumps come from practicing so much. A normal violinist has a few but Roman is so insane that he has it across his whole fingerboard
@@ryancantpvp no, fingerboard grooves run parallel to the strings and are usually limited to the first position area. The violinist will get the fingerboard planed when the grooves become too deep because they hinder intonation. These appear to be actual frets, running perpendicular to the strings.
@@michaelmeng748 oh
Fretter*
He talked about them, he likes to experiment a lot on his violin, I think he said it gives a different, fuller, richer sound to the violin, specially on big halls, he also hand makes his own violin strings, and his iconic prismatic lenses which claims to alter his perception of time and give him more control on his playing, also experiments with his bows as well
WHAAAAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. We need twoset onto this asap. Roman, you're a violin god, how do your hands not cramp.
I watch it first time and freaking blown away.. the feeling of watching it for the first time was ethereal..
Insane. Just insane. Breathtaking, jaw dropping.... eye-popping. As a struggling violinist myself, I can't put my fingers into anything close to most of those shapes, let alone move them to another one. There are no words, really - RK is just off the chart.
Without a doubt the best violinist in the world. you have a demonic technique and an abysmal talent comparable to that of Paganini or Ernst, I haven't seen anyone like you since L.Kogan and Kavakos.
I would say without a doubt the most innovative of all time… but to be the best you have to play a much wider array of repertoire that we have not heard him play yet. On top of that, all of the interpretations have to be near perfection to grant the title of best violinist
I can't find the exact words to express my emotion listening to his performance. I wonder if his long fingers contribute to his dexteriy to play the violin as he does. I just can say MAGNIFICENT!!!!. I am not an expert in music but I can appreciate these beautiful sounds and a good interpreter. 👏👏👏❤👍
I know!!! And not being super fast or technical, but using the technique to sound superbly expressive!!!!
