In this video, I had the honour to meeting and interviewing Roman Kim, who is regarded by many to being one of the greatest violinists of this century. In this interview, Roman will be sharing about his practice routines, methods and tips on how you can improve as a musician. He will also be sharing some amazing stories which you will not believe. And we will play a game I came up with called 'Guess the Score'. Make sure to watch this until the end.
I will be uploading part 2 shortly where he will be answering some of the questions you've asked him.

What I respect most about Roman Kim is not his phenomenal violin-playing ability (although that, it goes without saying, is completely jaw-dropping). I love that he writes and arranges his own stuff. He stands in front of the audience as a composer (plus as a brilliant performer). He puts his heart and soul on the line by performing his own pieces. This is the historical soul of classical music. There are many amazing performers out there. But if everyone follows the "safe path" the industry creates for them of more performances of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto (or whatever), classical music just becomes a fossil. Of course, I love and respect great performances of Tchaikovsky et al, but we also need Roman Kim and his ilk to keep classical music truly alive. I look forward to his next concerto! I can say that about no other living virtuoso apart from Daniil Trifonov (although other suggestions welcome if you have them!). I have been waiting to learn more about what makes Roman Kim tick for a while. Thank you for the interview (and kudos for getting it!).

Some more great composer-pianists to look out for are Gabriela Montero and Stewart Goodyear. Gabriela is better known for her incredible improvisations than her compositions, but that's been an even rarer skill amongst classical musicians over the past century. Wynton Marsalis has also been writing a lot of classical music in recent years, including concertos for violin, trumpet and tuba, and he recorded several albums of pieces from the standard trumpet repertoire in the 80s and 90s, so he also counts as a classical composer-performer (although he's better known as a jazz musician). I struggle to think of any other well-known string players who regularly perform their own compositions though.

This was a joy to watch. You really miss when a violinist this accomplished does not have a social presence as large as other soloists. His passion for the violin really resonates and his love for composition and violin playing really shines through!

I have never heard this man speak before. I had seen some of his epic videos and like everyone else already held him at the very highest level which is almost mythical. But now hearing him speak, and so beautifully, my heart holds him even higher in my estimations, if that was even possible! How wonderful that someone so talented and creative can relate to everything we know and understand. It makes me so happy that that the very best player can be so modest, warm and friendly. Not all famous successful people are like this! The way he speaks is next level, such a role model, and explains why his violin playing is at the next level. And hearing him engage like this is a valuable life lesson for us all. Thank you to you for this interview. And an extra feather in the cap to Roman Kim. Yes he is the living legend I hoped he was and so much more. The stuff of dreams and he is real. I am blown away!

@SkeletonHands6969 Ай бұрын

Awesome man. Roman is so cool. I think it is great he is composing his own music as many soloists of the day do not do this really anymore. I read some criticism of Roman on the violinist subreddit and thought it was unfair, like calling him a "gimmick" because of the pieces he plays? I think a lot of people are jealous of his ability. He's paving the way for the next generation of violinist with his compositions just like Paganini did.

@jenvogue5005 Ай бұрын

@canadianmadduck8932 Ай бұрын

Man I knew it! He loves Rock! Just the way he plays the violin reminds me of a rockstar. Absolute genius. When I saw his arrangement for Air on G for violin it reminds me of how it is played on classical guitar.

@hippskevin Ай бұрын

16:19 Violin is a martial art. The samurai Miyamoto Musashi in ‘The Book of Five Rings’ gives similar advice in regards to practice as Roman does here: “You must walk down the path of a thousand miles step by step, keeping at heart the spirit which one gains from repeated practice with whomever one can get to practice with, and knowledge attained from whatever experiences you can come by, without impatience.” And to Roman’s point about practicing on the stage as much as you can, Miyamoto similarly writes “You can only fight [perform] the way you practice.”
