Our new title for this show is -
BEING GIDON KREMER: The Rise and Fall of the Classical Musician
Written by: Kremer, Igudesman & Joo
Distribution strategy & marketing: Veritone Records
Without music life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Dear Concertgoer!
Music and humor-both are languages of the emotions. Join us on a journey through our wacky hall of mirrors and see for yourself all the weird and wonderful ways these two languages come together to reflect the Zeitgeist of the new millennium.
We live in an age in which the market economy tyrannizes over art. The quality of an artwork is judged by the quantity of sales. We all squint at the sales-volume statistics, the chart placement and the commercial media presence. The more popular, the better. Everyone wants to be a superstar!
But in consequence, we all too often lose sight of the true meaning of music: the uplifting union of feeling and intellect, the intimate and profoundly emotional expression of the soul.
BEING GIDON KREMER takes a critical and entertaining look at classical music through a magnifying glass. By means of this close-up, we hope to achieve a healthy distance from all forms of commercial dumbing-down.
So lets laugh together about whats laughable, and marvel afresh at musics endless marvels!
We wish you a wonderful musical journey!
We, meaning Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica, Aleksey Igudesman and Richard Hyung-ki Joo.
Music in its most beautiful form is the all-healing language of love.
Richard Wagner

This is so hard to do. They have to count measures of rest. They have to play a ton of things.
This is sooooo difficult to perform.... and they are doing it LIVE!!!! My respects... hats off....
0:54 LMAO that was genius
This just shows that you can still have fun at a classical concert and that its not all stiff and rigid and upper-class like some might think. I really enjoyed that.. Id love to see more of that as well :)
0:55 a one man playing violin as rock lmao 😂🤟🔥
wow im glad they're stil playing!!! i remember them watching them as they entertained people in some warehouse lol now they're big show haha still love to watch them.
I wonder how their score looks like towards the end. HAHAHAHA XD
Absolutely the most amazing performance! musically and comically, the best. Bravo to Joo and Igudesman and the amazing orchestra.
Great! Kremerata Baltica is one of the best ensemble of ever! Their common and perfectly teamed spirit is always palpable when you have the luck to listen to a concert played from them. Thank you!

@silentfury214 It's the virtuoso's grand entrance in his violin concerto. There's about two minutes of material for full orchestra before the vioinist's defiant entrance.
ja ja jaaaa....son geniales, talentosos...!!!!
Excellent! Very novel.
excellent
Did anyone else see that violinist crack a smile near the beginning? I'm suprised the orchestra could keep it together. That would have been a great gig.
@NorthernstarSound YES!!! thank you!! btw, is that his only violin concerto? (D major, well, not very major lol)
Thanks so much, man :)
For everyone who is asking @1:17 is from Brahms Violin Concerto, p.1
It's so funny, in 1:34 min.
When Joo screams "Mozart" and looks so funny,when Aleksey switch to paganini.
This is the best, I love it.
they really picked the hardest shit to play in this piece, hats off to them
Wow that's some pretty skillful transitions.
it's also in the riverdancing violinist the second sheet that joo puts in the pile...
Good work
Perfect
