most underrated instrument. Look at this. Its an entire orchestra on his lap. glorious

Hundreds of years ago a man invented this incredible instrument. Then another man wrote this wonderful piece of music. And now I'm here watching this genius performance. On a computer. Through the internet. God, life is indeed a miracle.

Never heard a soloist playing the accordion so beautifully, it's moving, exiting. He is a master musician worth enjoying and paying attention to his career. Thank you.

Having played the accordion myself, this is unreal. All the things that are going through his head at once. Getting the movement of the bellows correct while pressing the keys at the right time, not to mention the accessory keys being pressed at exactly the right moment. I was already a fan of Vivaldi, but wow, this takes it to an entirely new level. Amazing!

He sounds like an orchestra by himself. Mad skills. The accordion is such an underrated instrument.

The highest compliment I can give is to say this genius man’s performance made me cry like a baby

Vivaldi’s 4 seasons is already very beautiful, but this accordeon version is a miracle, so many variables and great timing.

He plays the whole orchestra including the entire string section…incredible😳

With just one instrument he produced the essence of an entire chamber orchestra

I bet Vivaldi would give him a standing ovation if he could hear him

My father used to play - nothing at this level - but it gives me goosebumps to listen to this amazing talent and joy to know that this instrument is still admired and celebrated. Incredible performance, dynamics, tone, timing. Keep in mind that he's the conductor, orchestra, and soloist simultaneously!

This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen any human being do in any arena, inside music or out.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I have goosebumps on my goosebumps!!!!! I am a professional cellist and have played the Four Seasons many times!!! This was breathtakingly beautiful!!! Thank you for your wondrous performance Alexandr!!! ox

The sheer strength required to move those bellows, that fast, for that long, and co-ordinate the melody and harmonies at the same time? You know he gives great hugs.

One of the world's most intricate and complex instruments. The sound is whole and fulfilling. Played beautifully and masterfully! Bravo and greetings from Mexico!

This is beyond genius, I don't have words for his ability, the emotion he manages to project with that instrument, but I can say that I am floored every time I watch this, and am brought to tears. Thank you!

I am so glad there are people like this keeping these instruments alive. The skill required to play like this is astonishing. Few know this but the first amplifier wasn’t for the guitar but the accordion.

Ce monsieur est génial !!! Merci pour ce moment hors du temps ! Que de talent et de travail ! Respect ....

There is not a musician in the world that has anything on this gentleman. A true master,

No matter how often I watch this, I find myself unable to turn it off until he finishes. It's not just the music, and mind you I'm not exactly a fan of classical music, it's also the insane amount of skill that just keeps me in awe the whole time. This guy is just one of those people who take something to a whole new level.

breathing, heart beating, left hand and right hand playing different notes on differing buttons, his arms operate the bellows, his body sways with the emotion ... all while his mind and central nervous system is multi-tasking with extreme accuracy and precision. awesome and beautiful

I have always loved the sound of the accordion, but had absolutely no idea it could be played like this... Absolutely incredible.

I have always.. ALWAYS.. known that accordian was an incredible instrument that was never played to its fullest potential.. This young man.. Changes all of that.. FOIREVER!!! He is at master level already.. Genius.. Almost savant... Bless you Son... for bringing us such wonderful music from one of my favorite instruments,, Please release some recordings on disk.. I want to listen to you play from now on.. simply breathtaking... Accordian is.. after all.. a portable organ.. Now.. at long last.. someone plays it like it was always meant to be played... BRAVOOOO!!!!! BRAVOOOO!! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! * Applauds and applauds and applauds*

One of the most brilliant soloists I have ever seen!

I'm a grown man and this performance brought tears to my eyes. The amount of hard work this man has put into his craft to create such beautiful sounds is a truly impressive thing. I never knew music in general, not just the accordion, could sound so wonderful.

One of the most impressive things of anything that I've ever seen. What a genius

In two words..... One of the BEST and the BOSS. EXCELENT!!!!. Congratulations my friend!!!!.

c'est magnifique, en transposant ce morceaux pourtant des milliers de fois entendu, on redécouvre avec enchantement chaque note de cette si merveilleuse musique. Merci

People make accordions out to be terrible instruments. This was amazingly beautiful.

It’s electrifying to see someone excel to this degree. Just amazing! This is world-class.

Consummate artist. Astounding technique. Never heard an accordion utter such music. Thank you.

What a wholesome comment section. Absolutely love to see all the respect given to this wonderfully talented musician

My god, he's even got chin buttons to concentrate on! This man was on another level. A virtuoso. 🙏

Audiences in Europe are so different than the US. Here I think you would’ve gotten a standing ovation, or at the very least, more rousing applause then what I heard. My grandfather was in an orchestra in the Ukraine when he immigrated to Canada. He would’ve cried, watching this beautiful performance. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!!

My goodness, this alone has made me realize I never knew what an accordion was capable of and made me cry, my third time watching this and I just thought how awesome a full organ would be behind this accordion solo piece I think it’d feel like heavens gates opened in front of me

Holding an instrument weighing 40lbs, while playing a piece this difficult, flawlessly, is amazing.

Fantastisch! Sehr emotional und mit absoluter Hingabe gespielt. Vielen Dank dafür

This was sublime, no other word can better describe such talent. I felt it in my soul. Thank you for making this available to the world

How is it possible to play this lovely piece meant for an orchestra on the accordian and then to make it sound so wonderful? I am just speechless.

There are musicians, and there are masters. I (who am just another average musician) salute you, master Alexandr. I love listening to your performances...

Whoooo??! Who gives a f*ckin' dislike!! Are you nuts!!?! This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I ever heard!!

Is it’s okay crying? I went to the music school in a Accordeon class when I was 8, my grandmother throw me there. It was strange for me and I do not completely understanded everything in the beginning, but then for me this spinstrument was the best thing I could really give to my soul. Music really change you, studying music I mean. I lo give everything to back in that time, passing hours at “Music Literature” subject, where we used just to listen for a couple of hours to Classic Music. My grandmother still have my Accordeon, and I’m literally cried the entire time of the video. Sometime you understand what’s really metter in life.

Well done! Absolutely beautiful!! Thankyou for sharing your gift with us. God bless. 🪗 🎶 ❤

My favorite moments in music are when musicians challenge my preconceived notions of what sound possibilities can emerge from a particular instrument. Outside of the obvious technical mastery and elite musicality, even the visual aspect of expanding his bellows extremely wide during the encore piece, like an eagle spreading its wings and cloaking the sky, added a dramatic flair during a peak moment. I am just blown away.

Holy shit- accordion to me, he's the best i've ever heard.

I love watching him play as much as hearing him. He has such honest passion for the music. It's a joy to behold, especially in a young person. Bravo! BRAVO!

Me cuesta mucho trabajo entender la magnificencia que puede existir en una sola persona, Vivaldi jamás imagino que seguido a sus grandes obras, habría seres extraordinarios como este hombre que te hace ir de una emoción a otra en segundos y con cada acorde. Sin lugar a dudas la música transforma y toca el alma de las personas comunes como muchos de nosotros. Mi admiración, respeto y agradecimiento por interpretar a Vivaldi de esta forma tan noble y pura. Me gusta mucho porque con esta música me educó mamá, por eso tiene tanta carga emocional escuchar semejante interpretación. Felicitaciones y bendiciones a todos los músicos que hacen los días oscuros como los que actualmente vivimos más llevaderos. 🇲🇽 2020.

Simplesmente magnífico; Deslumbrante; Estonteante. Eu estou fascinado por essa performance, a união de um instrumento, um compositor e sua obra, através das mãos desse brilhante músico.

Absolutely masterful. I don't know if the world has ever seen a better adaptation from the original CHAMBER ENSEMBLE piece to a solo. Honestly...amazing.

That was the most incredible display of musicianship I've ever seen from an accordionist.

Wow, Weird Al has aged very well!! On a serious note, this kid is amazing!! I saw a video from years ago and it was equally as amazing!! What an incredible talent, I hope he gets all of the recognition he deserves and then some ❤

Que d'émotion. Amoureux de vivaldi je le decouvre sous un autre jour. Quel talent et bravo l'artiste. J'espere qu'il peut encore jouer.❤

I find myself coming back to this several times a year. Never gonna get tired of this! Golden hands.

If I saw this man playing in real life I would drop to my knees in tears

Today I learned you can vibrato on an accordion. Just wow. This was amazing.

My Gosh! This was an absolutely amazing performance! 🤘😍🤘

I have never seen a more amazing feat of musical skill. What a tribute to a master of music!

Мне очень нравятся талантливые люди. Александр Вам респект, не только музыка захватывает, но и то как Вы играете. От души, завораживает. Успехов Вам и роста и признания.

Alexander im a new fan. I never thought i could love the accordion as much as i do now after listening to you

Este sr no transpira, le sale puro talento por los poros; hermoso como suena ese acordeon. Bravo, Alexandr 👏👏👏

Вот это да! Наконец-то я услышал настоящую живую музыку и прекрасное исполнение на баяне. С басами левой рукой) Спасибо Александа за Ваши труды! Аплодирую Вам стоя!

I was literally sobbing like a baby listening to this. Incredible

Incredible. I'm so happy I found a clip of your playing. Amazing, thank you for investing so much time in learning this instrument. It shows who you are.

Such an incredible musician. It's been an actual honour to listen. Long time cellist here.

People spend their entire lives trying to find their purpose. I believe this man found his purpose on this planet. This goes beyond talent. This is gifted. Bravo good Sir, bravo!

incredible performance!!! i cant believe how much music ive been missing out on! thank you for your wonderful work.

I mostly listen to electronic music these days but what you are doing is simply amazing and beautiful! Thank you!

thanks to Tim Ferris I am watching this, and so are thousands. Great performance.

Bravissimo. Una intera orchestra da camera in un singolo strumento suonato mirabilmente. Vivaldi sorprende sempre , quelle scale vorticose sono meravigliose.

I love classical and rap music this man is brilliant I've listened to a few of his videos this bloke is awesome.

Это просто невероятно и потрясающе, какая мощь кроется в баяне, это просто какой-то портативный орган! Спасибо Вам за эмоции❤

I feel like I learn something about the universe listening to this. I think there is something special about wind instruments, such as the organ and the accordion. It’s interesting that the Sanskrit word for a special symbol representing the universe also means “instrument”. It is as if the universe or God is breathing through this instrument! And the wonderful musician here is it’s faithful servant! Bravo! Welll done maestro!

Потрясающе!!! Браво!!! Талант и трудолюбие - налицо!!! Спасибо огромное за доставленное наслаждение!!! 💯👍Валентина.

Que talento incrível. É um privilégio poder ver esse rapaz tocando vivaldi.

Never thought so much feeling and expression could be gotten from the accordion. Hrustevich is not only a virtuoso, but a trail blazer as well.

Merci !!! ❤❤❤ Vous méritez tellement ce superbe Pigini...

Amazing performance! He makes the feel of an orchestra with a single instrument.

So Beautiful! 👏👏👏👏👏

Very rarely do I feel so moved by music. I envy those who were there live to see this pure work of art. To FEEL the music around me would be spectacular. This peice is already very moving work, but on the accordian it is on a different tier. I come back to this from time to time, and I am excited every time! Thank you for your work

Outstanding, both technically and musically. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

One of the most beautiful musical work., played excellently on a single instrument!! Wonderful....

I literally jumped out of my chair on several occasions. Wonderful,

Огромное спасибо, браво! Творческих успехов и всего самого наилучшего!

This is soooooooo freaking brilliant.

Extraordinary musician. Excellent

Beautifully played

Только классическая музыка при прослушивании в таком виртуозном исполнении заставляет пустить слезу. Смотрю и плачу, как же это красиво

Genius! Thanks from Poland

I was waiting to see your fingers set on fire!!! That was just amazing, thats a fantastic talent. And no partitures???? man, you are a genious!!!!

Finalmente sono riuscito a sentire meglio: grande musica, ottima esecuzione. Bravo Alexandr: bravo, bravo bravo!

Absolute master! Watching like 30th time, no weak points in this perfomance of Stagioni, totally

Bravo, Alexandr.

I respect the talent and drive it takes to learn the accordion this well. I am moved to tears.

Je neuvěřitelný, kolik informací naráz prochází jeho hlavou a kolik těchto informací dokáže přenést do prstů, paží, trupu a celého těla. Každý tento pohyb se snoubí do absolutně dokonalého projevu.... Hraju absolutně jako hobík, ale tak nějak chápu, co je pro takovouto hru nutné umět a co času na trénink muselo padnout.... Je to naprosto, naprosto, naprosto obdivuhodné a neuvěřitelné.... Tleskám ve stoje. Akordeon je všestranný a dokonalý nástroj, na který dokážete zahrát cokoliv.... "Nahrazuje celej orchestr :-D" Doporučuji dojet navštívit českého výrobce DELICIA do Hořovic. Jednou za rok mají den otevřených dveří, kde představí celou výrobu. Vyrábí tam vše od klapky přes táhla, po tóny.... Je úžasný to vidět...

Everyone: You need at least a small orchestra to play four seasons "summer" Alexandr Hrustevich:

Maravilloso! Sublime! Perfecto ! Bello! Un millón de aplausos .

I found this guy on my feed today. I owned Vivaldi 4 seasons cd years ago, I didn't know the Accordion could be played like this 😳🤯

Grandissimo, il più grande fisarmonicista di Bajan che abbia ascoltato. Un suono pulito e melodioso anche con l'oscillazione del mantice; i bassi sciolti accompagnano perfettamente la melodia e fanno , essi stessi, melodia. Veramente eccezionale e giustamente meritato il titolo di "Uomo Orchestra " . Una classe davvero formidabile e ineguagliabile. Aggiungo che la sensibilità interpretativa non lo porta mai ad eccedere in inutili virtuosismi : tutto è meditato , forte e piano al momento giusto; tutto questo comporta una " cultura " non solo musicale, ma una conoscenza profonda della musicalità di Vivaldi e della cultura veneziana e italiana. dell'epoca.

2023 después de 10 años me sigue gustando está interpretación, magnífica , excelente 10/10

loving this from Phoenix Arizona
