Oh! Jimmy you were right to get excited about this performance. This was Karolina at her very best, I was completely mesmerized by her. She should play more classical music on the street and show her audience what she is capable of, I think they would appreciate it.
My dear sister Karolina is an angel, always more beautiful than an angel. Cute and kind unique in the world. Dancing and performance of my dear sister Karolina is always unique. My dear sister Karolina's violin playing is really great with dancing. I hope you and my dear sister Karolina have good days and nights.
Karolina is always thinking the pop plays better on the streets and classical is better in an auditorium. I think the opposite. Look at the faces of all ages in awe of her playing. For years I thought pop was all she could do and later found out I was wrong. She needs to do more of this.
Yes perhaps - but what Karolina is thinking is right from her perspective. Classical high performance needs auditorium SILENCE. Silent performing environment. And acoustic musical instrument's sound quality and richness of timbre is always better without electronic amplification which is necessary on a street to stifle the noise from videoing, so classical really comes out right in a hall. Karolina thinks professionally, but she is willing to take chances and make experiments in noisy environments too.
“Breathe Jimmy!!” LOL Yes, this is an exhilarating masterful performance. I hope to see more Karolina collabs with gifted Russian-Ukraine pianist, Anna Kovaleva. Goosebumps & BRAVO! Thank you Jimmy and Steven for putting together this presentation! Love it! Cheers to everyone from Australia! 🦘
Good morning, Kate! Thank you for your comment as always! I little correction if I may - Anna Kovaleva. See you soon - reactions to Violin Angel & Co are piling up! Cheers!
@@toivotraks I knew it was Kovaleva, and yet I inadvertently typed Kermakova. lol Thanks for the correction. Yes, there is a sense of great excitement regarding Karolina’s newest works! Looking forward as always! Best!
The 2 young ladies are quite impressive..indeed..! One of my Grand daughters, watched the piece n was quite moved...!! A good thing ,for sure!! So..I do hope much more of this caliber of music might be in the pipeline..to be enjoyed.. and to be inspiring for more high school kids!! And kids of all ages ,like me!!!!??? Lol!! Til we meet next...be well n stay awesome!! 👍🐺🧙♂️🤙
@@unmappedinsights4787 A G-day to you as well Miss Kate!! Quite a go for Miss K n Miss A.. Those in attendance ,I'm sure,were not ready,but, were appreciative of the artistic efforts by both young ladies....!! Stay awesome, be awesome !! 🎶🤙🧙♂️🐺👍🎶
This is absolutely the type of performance many of us have been dreaming of coming from our Violin Angel. As you note, Jimmy, the composition is meant to feature the violin - so its capabilities are brought to light. But that is best enhanced by precise and artful accompaniment, in this case provided by Miss Anna Kovaleva, a senior music student at the California State University, Northridge (in the Los Angeles area). She fled Russia, along with her family, at the start of the war against Ukraine as her mother is of Ukrainian descent and they could not bear to be drafted to fight against their brothers to the west.
Jimmy, your reaction was amazing, and what a great choice Steven! This is Karolina at her finest, what a performance she gave! I see occasional comments from some people that Karolina isn't a classical musician, just a pop music busker. This performance proves how completely wrong they are! This was sublime!
Hi Jimmy and Steven! Thanks for the great reaction to Karolina and Anna Kovaleva playing Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons: Winter'. Anna is a young classical pianist. I am not sure, but her and Karolina may know each other from church or interaction in the classical masterclasses or the Desert Symphony Orchestra. This is one of two classical songs they played together on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. They are excellent together; don't you think? 😂💥💫👍
Hi again, Jimmy! Thank you and Steven for bringing this one, one of my favourite performances of all time by the Violin Angel. Yes Jimmy, this is happening, Karolina Protsenko is bringing classical music to the streets of Santa Monica. I will not spoil much more of it but there are great things coming up. Beautiful Anna Kovaleva is our guest artist on this one. The first piece she starts to play before properly starting with L'Inverno is Bach/Gounod's Ave Maria, a piece Karolina herself performed on the violin at age 10. As Toivo said in his comment, Anna is a 22 year old music student in a university in California, her mother being a teacher there too. Needless to say she is classically trained, her credentials include recitals in her native Russia of works by Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev. Pretty much as was the case of the Protsenko family themselves, Anna's family also had to leave their country fleeing from the war 2 years ago. Kovalevs and Protsenkos may have met in the very large circuit of Russian-speaking Christian churches in South California. This piece is the first movement of Antonio Vivaldi's violin concerto called "Winter", which, along with the other 3, are known as "The Four Seasons". Each concert or "season" is a separate one from the others, although they are usually performed together. What we just saw is an excerpt of Winter's first of 3 movements. Fact: Karolina is not using her concerto violin, this is her regular street-performance one. After last year's incident, I bet she won't take her "good" violin to the streets, but of course this kind of music sounds better without a mic plugged in. BTW, Jimmy, you will get the shredding you've been asking for... not Eddie's but how about Slash? Cheers!
Thank you so much for this extended information for the Community Guillermo my friend (aka "walking musical encyclopedia"). I've neglected to answer your last mail - will do it when I get a peaceful minute. Cheers!
@@toivotraks Don't worry, Toivo. And thanks, but my musical knowledge is nothing compared to yours. More breaking news: a certain group of 3 siblings made their violin debut yesterday as a group at TSP, with a beautiful rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle little Star", on their 1/1, 1/8 and 1/16 violins. They also played the violin, piano and sang. Extremely cute,!
@@Guillermo.R.S. Oh yes of course - my brain just froze. I realised it and wanted to erase my question, but I see you answered already. I was racking my frozen brain about a family channel. Thanks!
Good morning, Jimmy! And thank you so much, Steven! First - the pianist is a Russian emigre to the US Anna Kovaleva, continuing her piano studies in California. Obviously this is not a random meeting as for performing classical at that level and coordination needs rehearsal(s). Classical music can't be jammed and improvised spontaneously, it is a precise note-by-exact-note affair in certain unchanged key. This is the first movement of Vivaldi's Winter - a series of full mini-concertos from the whole cycle of The Seasons. I have an impression that she is learning the cycle to perform with an orchestra in the future as Anna performed only piano arrangement of orchestral accompaniment. BTW - she has brought all of Winter to the next step on officially not yet unreleased videos - street performance with a string quartet with her violin teacher Sam Fischer present in public and players seem to be his students. Goes without saying Karolina is playing a soloist part in these videos. To present these (and her pending video releases of her own original music) I need to take my turn, Steven - please forgive me already in advance. As far as I know we will hear another collab with Anna Kovaleva here soon. As to the difficulty of the movement - to tell the truth, it is more showy than difficult. These are Baroque concertos from the first half of 18th century, a formative period for this genre, with yet undeveloped musical form for later concertos. Compared to grandiose violin concertos by Jean Sibelius, Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Chaikovsky etc. etc. - it is short and using only Baroque-era techniques. Concertos by afore-mentioned composers are 45 minutes to an hour long, full of neck-breaking techniques. But these Vivaldi compositions are very popular and loved by wide audiences. It is my very personal opinion - but I think I can't give more than 4 out of 10 classical level points for the technical difficulty of the piece. And Karolina's practising work on this is not finished yet - this is a first try-out of a very popular piece, sure to attract street audience too. In that sense - for example - Edouard Lalo's seven movement Spanish Symphony she is also learning currently, is much more technically and spiritually complicated. Cheers to all in our wonderful community - please forgive my classical assessment. It doesn't demean Karolina a bit - BTW Ray Chen performed the same while meeting Karolina musically some time ago. Wait for new little miracles by our Violin Angel!
Yes thanks for the information toivo much appreciated I've just seen a video of karolina and 3 other violinists and a chello player on the street not on karolina channel but someone called yulay tierrav verde nice tune they are playing. Just to let you know. And thanks again to Mr g for his information as well@@toivotraks
@@JamesKnights-zk5ii Hello, James! What you saw was probably third movement of the same Vivaldi Winter concerto. As Karolina's violin teacher Sam Fischer was present in the audience, most probably the chamber group were his other violin students. As this guy has also filmed the first movement of it with them I guess they performed the entire Winter concerto there. I'm just waiting for official Protsenko upload of this - and there are surprises galore coming I can assure you. I will never request unofficial video recordings for it may generate serious copyright problems with Protsenkos. Cheers!
@@JamesKnights-zk5ii Yes James, the user you mention is a Guatemalan guy who is one of the lucky people to be able to attend every now and then Karolina's performances. We have been in contact for some time, Toivo and some other fans were given the heads up a few weeks ago on that one. The musicians were a chamber group: 2 violins, a viola and a cello. Hopefully it gets released soon. Cheers to Wells!
