If I hear this on the street, I don't think I would be able to continue on my way.

I love how people just walk by as a violinist plays one of the greatest pieces ever composed for the solo violin and have no idea: 1. how beautiful of a piece this is 2. how difficult it is to play this 3. how talented this guy is.

there is no way this is just some street violinist. he's playing at a professional level and he plays this very difficult piece almost perfectly

Crazy to see all the people just walk past, oblivious to the nearly flawless performance of one of the most difficult and sublime pieces for solo violin ever composed

It just goes to show how disconnected we have become from true music, art, beauty & genius as most just walk by. It is one of the greatest human creations of all time across any field. Yet it does require sustained attention to truly appreciate it's structure, recurring themes & journey through so many emotions. Bach had come home from a trip only to discover his wife was dead & buried. I've been lucky to hear this live in a concert room but it would be so special to also hear it unexpectedly on the streets away from the pedestal. While everyone else is attracted to the loudest speaker, I will be there with a few special others revelling in the glory of this divine creation!

On a random day, while walking through a random street, hearing Chaconne with such a great performance.. I'd feel blessed as i never felt before..

Respect! Solid techniques, very fine performing especially disruptions on the street and still able to maintain those details and transitions between notes. The intonation is perfect and is definitely world class level. We need more of these musician on the street❤ I would have tip in €50 notes if I was there. Very touching

European civiization died. The violinist had to be surrounded with a croud of listeners! A'm shocked! Nobody but one gave him money!!! Thanks, Artiom, your performance is wonderful.

Pretty funny, this is not a "street violinist" it's Artiom Shishkov, a well known Russian-born virtuoso. Terrific performance by the way.

Parisians should be proud of having such a great violinist. It is he that honors the city.

I can't even begin to get across how difficult this piece is. The violin is never comfortable to play as multiple strings, chords are broken and awkward to get to and with an acoustic violin the chance of crunching this high chords is huge but histone was sweet and light and then heavy and back to light. My chaconne is a shade of this one. I'm jealous in the nicest way possible.

The purest music ever composed, polyphonic writing on just one instrument, praise Bach and this musician for his respectful playing

He is no 'street violinist' but, obviously, a 1st class one who 'knows the score'! I'll bet my neck on that.

"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind." - Johannes Brahms about Bach's Chaconne

This is an amazing performance !😍 Poor people who don’t know this masterpiece!!!😢

Those street players are as good even better than the big masters , and the new generation is putting all the past generation down. People pass like nothing is happening and he is playing the most monumental work in the music world and playing it well. The street musicians love to go to underground tunnels , the acoustics are great there. Yes street but he must be a top player in the Conservatory. Bravo , bravo , bravo ......

practicing on the street is a good way to hone your concentration skills & audience communication skills.

Sokakta klasik müzik şöleni. Yanında durup dinlemek isterdim. Kemancı gence saygılar.

One of the most demanding pieces in history and some people just walk by. That's really a sign of ignorance.

Ich bewundere es, wie dieser Geiger (ein Musikstudent in einer Meisterklasse?) sich nicht vn den Geräuschen der Umgebung ablenken lässt. Schade nur, dass die Leute, die hier vorbei gehen, alle keine Zeit zu haben scheinen, und nicht länger zuhören. Wäre ich da gewesen und hätte die Zeit und Gelegenheit dazu gehabt, hätte ich diesem Geiger stundenlang zuhören können. Wirklich gut gemacht!

if he played despacito he will got huge attention

Excellent performance. What a gift for the passers-by!

wow this is honestly a better rendition of the Chaconne than I've seen in concert halls

Вот этот малый немало удивил феноменальным звучанием..далеко не уличным - браво !!! Молодца !!!

What an incredible player. I would pay thousands to watch this man perform.

Yeah id have tipped 100. I hope this dude found big work with an orchestral lead. Rushed in a couple of parts (reference Hillary Hahns interp.) but as a whole would bring a tear to any eye that felt the piece

Bravo!!! one of the most difficult pieces for violin ... I love you, boy ...

Молодец Артем!

узнала скрипача с конкурса Ауэра Артём Шишков замечательный скрипач

Who IS this guy??? He’s amazing! And why isn’t everyone...absolutely EVERYONE...putting real cash in his case??? This guy should have a big career!

Dommage que je ne passais pas par là. Quelle bonheur d'entendre ça dans un coin de rue.

Какие равнодушные люди....таку ю музыку я могу слушать часами, а парень хорошо играет...

Most of the walk by's have their eyes drawn to the money in his case, not the performer himself playing arguably the greatest piece of music ever written

excellent rendition of the Chaconne

Artiom Shishkov is the violinist. credits to tomboyer5608 for discovering this

本人觀點 已經是國家階級音樂廳的 演奏級數了！ 無需樂譜的街頭音樂家 我 向你致敬！

This man seems to me a light in the darkness, his notes illuminating the streets around him with music masterfully wrought. May he continue to be a sound rising above the noise of life, lifting all those who will listen to a place of solace, if only for the seemingly temporary duration of this masterpiece.

electronic violin ameteur: plays pop songs with minimum skills people: stop to watch, give money, post on social media Violinist: plays one of the greatest solos people:

Great!!!

It's Artiom Shishkov, for those who are curious.

Imagine hearing this masterpiece and just walking by... What a shame

How do you just walk by this??

Bravissimo. Spero che la musica riempia la tua vita sempre e comunque. 👍

Excellent, very natural and pure , God Bless Him

How do people even manage to keep walking?

Beautiful done , this is my favorite violin piece . Wish I could play it like that

Very good!

Just amazing! And last 2 minutes are the breathtaking.

This is so good. I hope I can play at this level one day and perform on the streets ;-;

A great performance!

jesus christ that was good

This is great

May I correct myself,,, this dude plays his heart out!!!!

Great performance! Its Artem Shishkov, a famous Soviet violinist..

I am glad there are no dislikes on this video!

All these m effin narcissists walking by as the dude his heart on the prima violin piece ever written,,, Bach ciaconna!!!! Shame on this self absorbed world!!!! Bravo my parisienne violinist Bravo!!!!!

Fantastic 👏👏👏👏

it's beautiful! would want to hear this in person! xx

Bravissimo. You r such an inspiration ;) True musician.Thankx so much for sharing your great talent.

His name is Artiom Shishkov look him up.

Qué hermosura. Si bien, me recuerda al estilo Itzhak Perlman (versión que más me gustó junto con la de Ivry Gitlis), podría tocarla tranquilamente en un teatro! Muy bueno.

Why is he playing on streets?! THIS MAN SHOULD BE ON STAGE!

sounds like a movie soundtrack... amazing!!!!

Wonderful!

Wow!!... He plays to perfect. Things that i never should be able to do... Im jelous!!!

beautiful

Sehr schöne Aufnahme

Don't think so. You don't have to be famous to play the Chaconne. But this guy, whoever he is, he does play it extremely well. I wish he was indoors somewhere with better sound.

This is why everyone who wants to get a cheap applause just lern to play Vivaldi's Spring....

Being on the street, he should also show the street. They show very little of anybody else.

Stop the comments about giving money. This piece deserves to be listened to without paying anything. The woman who gave money just left so it is disrespectful. And the performance is great. Maybe a small reason that some people don't want to stand and listen is because they feel they are required to pay.

tres bien, mon ami. c'est une effort formidable

Walk from South Ken Tube up to the Museums - often RCM conservatoire students busking/ practicing - sometimes a reeal treat

that's really well played. I wish I could do the same.

¿Very beautiful .........a dutch listener, named Hans H. from Leiden, the Netherlands !

As chaconne is one of my favourites, best one is played by hilary hahn and then this guy has played marvellously there was some glitch(well thats bcoz he is playing outside ) . Altast , i would say BRAVO!!!

A few notes: 1. He's not overdoing vibrato, like many overdo it, and it sounds great! 2. Flawless intonation. 3. More legato than my taste, but great nonetheless. 4. Shaking his right wrist when done reminds me of when I was working on it. Hard on the wrist to keep going non-stop by yourself. 5. How does he memorize the whole thing? I could only get down about 2 pages.

whoever this person is. this is a great piece played well. to think this is in some street somewhere. probably the best violin piece ever written. this piece by Bach is not recommended for beginners or anyone who is not very familiar with classical music.

So talented. This guy should not be on the streets playing, he should be in a concert hall.

Respekt vor den technischen Gegebenheiten. Man könnte meinen, die Geige solle zersägt werden! Zum Glück ist, die Art zu spielen, sehr filigran geworden! NAMASTE!!!!!!!

He's Artiom Shishkov. From what i know, he's not on the streets... /watch?v=yBmGRSSDaNo he's already famous too.

Good playing

great performace

Роскошно! Хочу быть в том метрЕ :)

He touch with soul...not fingers...congratulations from Spain...

wow! really well played!

wOw... awesome...

音好準!

Браво! Великолепно!

Omg,you're awesome!!!

He is really good. at 5:10 he even plays those little grace (or pickup?) notes. Why isn't he auditioning for the Paris Symphony Orchestra or something?

Lovely^^

Il faut aller vite pour arriver aux Protestation. On n'a pas de temps. Gotta get to the protest on time. But wow, he's good.

👏

he reminds me of Martzy telling a story of live.

and to kill time between train connexions...

minutes 2-4 are some of the most tonic notes that I have ever heard. belated uncapitalized bravo to this comrade; kidnap him and get him of DC streets... wow to it all too, boo who @ 8...

Вопрос, те кто поставили dislike? Это Perlman, Garret.... кто еще????

ПОТРЯСНО///////

Nathan Milstein's version is my favourite.
