Wonderful playing!
Are you human, kerson? AMAZING!
U act like u can play that
@@pyroay2862what do you mean
Wow. What an amazing performance. And to bring all the characters to life. Absolutely stunning. 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻
I love how he stands there like a menace after finishing the piece
Love that
me too, I love that
Because he is
He murdered that piece and the violin
Remarkable phrasing, intensity, and articulation. I just love your interpretations!! One of the most vivid versions I’ve ever listened to… the last section sent shivers down my spine.
What the shit
dude i saw you playing the violin 4 days ago… i don’t understand how you can talk with that voice, and have that attitude, and then type this.
what the fucj
Woah. Hey, Nikocado. Didn’t expect to see you here.
what happened to you man :(
Kerson Leong clearly practices at least 40 hours a day. Amazing performance. It looked effortless, and is one of the most lyrical renditions of this piece I've ever heard. Literal chills.
Such a difficult piece that requires so many hours of practicing but not really nice to listen to for many times, what a pity! If I were a professional violinist, I wouldn't invest in this sort of piece, so many greater masterpieces to learn. So I appreciate Leong's sacrifice lol
@@masintec it's just not music you like
He is a true Ling Ling!
40 hours?
@@Kosmicant This is a reference to Ling Ling (the fictional violinist who supposedly practices violin for 40 hours a day). Ling Ling is a creation of TH-cam creators @TwoSetViolin, Australian violinists Brett Yang and Eddy Chen!
This seriously needs more views. One of the most difficult pieces to play and he did it with perfection
Rapidly becoming part of the highest tier of current virutosos worldwide.
I can only come up with three words to describe this:
wow
WOW
*WOW*
Good stuff
One of the hardest violin pieces for its massively polyphonic four-voice writing…
And yet again, you’ve nailed every single part of it, what a stunning rendition! Bravo Kerson, encore!
The way you make that top line sing- not even sing it's like a cry and my gosh it's so beautiful!!
Yeah, it is a cry indeed! If you listen to Schubert's lied, those are the lines of the child scared by the Erlking that dies in the end.
At 4:43 you can really hear the narrator voice saying "[the boy] is dead". What an amazing performance, the intensity, the passion, tenderness at times, the violent climax and solemn resolution it really does tell the story of der erlkonig very well,. All the voices are distinct and reflect the increasing intensity throughout the piece. Bravo!
"Dead is only he, who is claimed as such by a doctor." ~quote of a book/film called "Come sweet death" So perhaps the boy only pulled a prank on his old man. The boy is dead, long live the boy.
I can't hear the narrator
@@moooobkityylol
just to let you know that I ruined your 69 likes
The most fantastic version of this insanely difficult piece ever heard.
omg was it MEANT TO BE that this is premiering at the SAME TIME that i am teaching a class on SCHUBERT??? omg lets goooooooo
Dude best version so far, you are definitely my favorite violinist (other than myself of course!)
Self confidence 100, 👍
woooooooo look at that confidence. Nice bro.
Confidence is key :)
Great comment, ahahahahhahaha.
Dude! Those harmonics with vibrato are sooo beautiful!! I need to listen to them in loop, they became addictive!
Thank you so much for your interpretation Kerson! Goosebumps seriously!
omg right?!!
Kerson, you keep me going :)
Just living life in general.... it's so much better having *you* to listen to.
I rarely pick up my violin these days due to to depression. When I listen to you though, I think: "It's possible". This is why I love you as a fan from across the world so much :) Thank you!
Someday I hope that I can be just one% of the violinist you are, this is absolutely incredible while done!
You make the arpeggios sound better than everyone else. Your are vivid, pretty, loud, and awesome.
This upload has been already the legend!!!
A gripping performance! The quality of the sound is outstanding, and the polyphonic structure comes out clearly. At "Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind" I had shivers up my spine.
I love this interpretation so much, I cannot listen to any other performance without realizing how much you have conveyed and how easily it comes through. It's much more the maddening terror instead of pure rage and aggression. Especially with the extreme contrasts between the calmer and more intense bits.
What about hilary Hahn?
@@kaikirr technically flawless, yet too robotic. Lacks the subtle hints of musicality that Kerson presents to us here perfectly. Apart from that, Kerson has a broader and way deeper sound. Though, I must add: the latter observation is merely a matter of preference.
@@aidentheabsurd I've noticed the same. Hahn lacks musicality and the technique to play Ernst at the proper tempo. Leong does a wonderful job with his rubato, perhaps the best in this piece alongside Feng's and maybe better, while Hahn just plays at a slow tempo like a robot since she doesn't have the mastery to play in any other way. Jansen would be far better for example.
It's a pattern rather than an individual observation.
Amazing dynamic range.
@@aidentheabsurd I normally love Hahn's playing, but not for this piece. Her rendition is too slow and too measured, which is strange because she plays other pieces with much more passion. Maybe I'm listening to an older recording too, and she'd play with more nuance later in life. I certainly think she has the technical proficiency for it. Additionally, Kerson's instrument is PERFECT for this piece. In general I prefer a Guarneri to a Strad anyway for its richer tones and slight darkness versus the sweetness of the Strad.
Dude! Technically proficient and true to the artistic nature of the text! Truly profound playing!
New era virtuoso, Kerson, Augustin Hadelich, Ray Chen. Kerson is my favorite☺️
Augustin is my favorite
Love your harmonic with vibrato 😍
For real... Superb technique
I have never seen someone vibrate those playing this piece and it is quite effective!
I'd forgotten that Ernst wrote this transcription! But of course.... it's *so* him! You play it epically Kerson. I'll always come back to this rendition! So full of fire, passion, and life!
As a side note, I think the Del Gesu violin is the perfect match for you particularly with this piece. I don't think a Strad would "roar" as much!
Great stuff Kerson :) As always, I'm delighted by your new videos and look forward to the next ones :) You're making many many many people in the world so happy with your playing :)
It’s works especially well with the aggression behind this piece. The projection and timbre of a Guarneri as well as it’s richness in sound makes it completely different from the other popular recording from Hilary Hahn on her Stad.
@@XYZeNxghtmxre ? Her violin is an 1864 copy of Paganini's Cannone made by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume
@@cesaraugusto6869 the one she used in that concert was the 1865 ‘Alard’ Strad Reproduction by Vuilaume and not Il Cannone. She has two by Vuilaume. Besides Stradivari was a Luthier but Stradivarius is actually a classification of violin based on Stradivari’s original productions.
@@XYZeNxghtmxre Thank you so much for explaining in detail.
@@XYZeNxghtmxre woah I thought she only had the Strad Vuilaume a few years ago since I read an article about her thoughts on bonding with the two of them. The Erlkonig recording was from when she was like 18 right?
You play with such a wonderful combination of intelligence and emotion. This is such a difficult piece to pull off well, and you played it brilliantly. I admire your playing very much!
This is so fantastic!! Such a great new sound for this piece. Perfect for the Halloween season.
Excellent, as always!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beyond impressive!!
Kerson, it has been amazing to watch your progress. This was a truly masterful rendition of this transcription. I hope I get the chance to play with you someday!!
Beautifully played!!!
A masterpiece in every aspect!
Very well done ❤️
I'm so glad to see this performence..❤️
Hell yeah!! Glad I'm here early, Elkronig is one of my favorite songs to listen to, and your rendition is speechless!! I absolutely love it
Stunning interpretation. You can feel the cold night air, the desperate ride through the forest!
Outstanding Performance!
This is so beautiful, I'm speechless. The best rendition of this piece I"ve ever heard.
Absolutely the best one
Perfect is not enough!!!!!🎵🎻❤👏👏
This isn't the first time I think that Kerson Leong has little recognition for how great violinist he is. I believe he should be known as well as Hilary Hahn, Ray Chen, Chloe Chua...
Schubert did clap to your performance. PERFECT PERFORMANCE!
Absolute mastery! Such an incredible performance. I felt like I was in the nightmare. Bravo!
Amazing!
Bravo Maestro! Thank you for sharing this spectacular performance, the energy and phrasing are out of this world. One day I hope I can go with my family to watch one of your performances live.
amazing!
Bravoooo !!!!
I love the fire and the energy you put into this. The setting also adds to the intensity and really works well with the piece. Thank you for letting us hear this.
Overwhelming playing!
This is too cool!
Just wow. Best version
Too good!!
Bravo, really. Extraordinary line. I'm in complete awe.
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏🤩
Maestro!
Magnificient! not a violin but a organ! Wonderful
Awesome interpretation! The dynamics give ke chills. Wow!
Excelente execução!!
I’ve heard the Erlkönig many times both by singers and violinists and your interpretation really touched my heart the most. Thank you so much!
Wonderful performance! The full drama of this tremendous work was fully realized, going way beyond the pyrotechnics of most interpretations. Bravissimo Maestro Kerson!!!!!
Amazing
Bravo!
i’m obsessed with how good this is 😭
I’ve aaalllllllways LOVED your playing! It’s always so crisp and graceful, filled with such voice and expression! I love how you articulate the phrasing of each line of parts in every last section of this piece! This is so sublimely and wonderfully beautiful, Kerson!!!! 🥰🐻🥰🧸🥰🐻🥰🧸🥰
Legit the best interpretation I've seen.
Wow! What a fantastic performance! You made it so special! Fantastic phrasing for this difficult piece! Intense! What a spectacular violinist! Thank you very much for sharing!
Amazing maaan so much cleannn
You are the best violinist of all time
Remarkable phrasing, intensity, and articulation Kerson Leong.
MARAVILLOSO
i have never seen or heard a better performance of this piece
Your playing is always beautiful and expressive with unbridled passion and great resonance. Rarely gage I heard any of our finest colleagues play this work so brilliantly.
That was powerful ! Truly a master
Meravigliosa e geniale interpretazione ...
Hell yeaah what a wonderfull octaves
Hi Kerson, I just got home from your concert in St. John's, NL where you played the Brahms concerto and I just wish I could tell you how fantastic it was for myself and my fiance to sit front row and hear you play this magnificent piece! this was the first time I got to hear it played live and you exceeded every expectation I had about the piece! So thank you. Best of luck in your career! I will now be following you online, so look forward to all your music!
Super fierce, Kerson! Awesome sound
Insane stuff, that was...
Incredible
My favourite rendition of my favourite composition from Schubert.
Wow! speechless
Me encantaaaaa
Finally, the expressive and musical version, outstanding. Hilary Hahn played it live and beautifully, but your interpretation is much more intense, poetic and romantic…
setuju
Incredible!!! You are possessed by the devil!!? Magnificent!! The sound, the expression; thank you so much Kerson!
Notes très claire. Certifié intergalactique!
마지막에 D현 소리 남으면서 악기 내려도 소리가 울리는게 정말 미친것 같다 당신은 미쳤습니다
som poderoso! 👏👏👏👏
Perfect
Un immense violoniste, et un véritable artiste qui n'a pas que de la virtuosité. Bravo !
Words cannot describe how in love I am with this ❤❤❤
Very powerful....
Kickass, Kerson.
Nailed it.
Absolutely convincing
Completely unbelievable.
Wow it’s really articulate and the intonation is great :D
I wonder how is Kherson Leong so good at violin and clean sounds I like it so much😍🎶😊🤩😘😘🥰
