Comedian impressionist Bryan G. is known as "the man of a thousand voices". Too bad most of them are in his head telling him to do bad things. Here he does Led Zeppelin on the violin backed by the outrageous nine piece Monarch Orchestra, under the direction of Craig "bad daddy" Render. Thanks for watching!

To see upcoming performances of Igudesman & Joo visit our website www.igudesmanandjoo.com CINEMA & COMEDY: The Rise and Fall of the Classical Musician Concept: Gidon Kremer, Aleksey Igudesman, Richard Hyung-ki Joo Written by: Igudesman & Joo with additional texts by Gidon Kremer and Nadja Maleh Director: Nadja Maleh Produced by:Kremer, Igudesman & Joo Without music life would be a mistake. Friedrich Nietzsche Dear Concertgoer! Music and humor—both are languages of the emotions. Tonights program is an attempt at dialogue. 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. Not for nothing is the title of this show Cinema and Comedy. Cinema—because a lot of the music we perform today has been featured in well-known (and less well-known) films. Comedy—because the universal language of music avails itself of humor to convey truths that defy more conventional forms of expression. Comedy starts where the tools of tragedy fall short. Tonight is not going to be a night of mere entertainment. You might laugh until you pee your pants, so to speak, but issues of the gravest significance underlie all our priceless wit. One glance at our subtitle, and you will see just how much is at stake: The Rise and Fall of the Classical Musician. This evenings protagonist, Gidon Kremer, is such an example of the classical musician. His real-life experiences serve as our inspiration, his writings as our starting point. Some parts of the show are biographical, other parts are the product of imaginative sympathizing and/or pure invention. 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. Cinema and Comedy 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 tonight, 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 These are among the composers whose masterpieces, or bits of them, you will hear this evening: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Rota, Dunayevsky, Herrmann, Morricone, Miller, Chaplin, Schnittke, Schostakowitsch, Barber, Piazzolla, Igudesman, Joo, Barry, Lai, Wagner, Brahms, Berg, Pushkarev, Perren, Fekaris, Gaynor and many more

The opening number to Act II of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I thought it had a nice melody and wonderful lyricism, so here it is! The right violinist is my pitiful attempt at an agitated Dr. Horrible and the left is my happy go lucky Penny. If you haven't seen this movie...YOU MUST! Find it somewhere on the internet. iTunes, Hulu, somewhere! Sorry for any off rhythms or misplaced notes; I did my best playing it by ear and by myself with myself. Hope you appreciate that. If I had some sheet music, I'd certainly play it much better. But this will do for now. =) Enjoy! Haha, I think I got into it a little too much...but I think it helped me play better. Hahahaha =D This one's for my friend, Josh. For he introduced me to this fabulous musical. For those who wish to sing along: Any dolt with half a brain Can see that humankind has gone insane To the point where I don't know if I'll upset the status quo If I throw poison in the watermain. Listen close to everybody's heart And hear that breaking sound Hopes and dreams are shattering apart And crashing to the ground I cannot believe my eyes How the world's filled with filth and lies but it's plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise. Look around We're living with the lost and found Just when you feel you've almost drowned You find yourself on solid ground And you believe there's good in everybody's heart Keep it safe and sound With hope you can do your part To turn a life around I cannot believe my eyes Is the world finally growing wise Because it seems to me some kind of harmony Is on the rise H: Anyone with half a brain P: Take it slow H: Could spend their whole life howling in pain P: He looks at me and seems to know H: Because the dark is everywhere and P: The things that I'm afraid to show H: Penny doesn't seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain P: and suddenly I feel this glow H: Listen close to everybody's heart P: And I believe there's good in everybody's heart H: and hear that breaking sound P: keep it safe and sound H: Hopes and dreams are shattering apart P: With hope you can do your part H: And crashing to the ground P: To turn a life around H: I cannot believe my eyes how the world's filled with filth and lies P:I cannot believe my eyes how the world's finally growing wise H: But it's plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise P: And it's plain to see rapture inside of me is on the rise

UPDATE WILL COME dec 25, 2008 Child playing a violin. The sound that makes you want to leave home. UPDATE, HE IS MUCH BETTER NOW. WHO WANTS TO SEE HIM PLAY NOW? RATE THIS HIGH AND SEND ME A COMMENT IF U WANT ME TO SEND HIS CURRENT VIDEO.

http://www.djtutor.com/random PLEASE READ!!!, Remember to hold the bow and touch the hair lots!!! , best to have all the strings in the key of "H" and place one leg on a stool and the other in a bucket of cold water. Only play at night as it sounds better and make sur e the moon is out ! Eat fish befor you play as this will help with the toneand feel of the music. Never play the violin in the middle of of an airport run way as you may get hit by a plain! If you wish to make money from this take your violin and play it to a school of 75 yr old X army midgits from Katmandoo! Your first lesson on the violin. I promis that during the filming of this video no sheep were harmed at all , but the farmer down the road did cut his hand and is now recovering in the local stoor , while his wife is washing the floor with coffee!

Victor has just finished conducting at one of his 80th birthday concerts and the crowd reaction was so good that the violinist, Anton Kontra, suggests an encore. No encore was planned but Monti's Czardas, which Victor had heard before BUT HAD NEVER PLAYED, is suggested. Nevertheless, the two go at it and put on quite a show. Watch Victor's facial expressions in the 2nd half as his partner escalates the action.

A cover of that oh-so-catchy song at the beginning of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. A violin can't exactly match what a real voice sounds like and I improvised on the rhythm a little, but hey. Whatever. Hahaha. If you haven't seen this movie, you probably won't get the random outburst near the end of the video. And if you haven't watched it, GO WATCH/BUY IT. http://www.drhorrible.com/ It's really good =) This one's for Steven, because you always randomly burst out into this song in class. =D Lyrics, if you care to sing along: Laundry day See you there Under Things Tumbling Wanna Say Love your Hair here I go mumbling With my freezeray I will stop the world With my freezeray I will find the time to find the words to Tell you how how you make make me feel what's the phrase? like a fool kinda sick special needs anyways with my freezeray I will stop the pain it's not a deathray or an icebeam that's all Johnny Snow I just think you need time to know that I'm the guy to make it real the feelings you don't dare to feel I'll bend the world to our will And we'll make time stand still that's the plan rule the world you and me anyday love your hair (what?) no I...I uh... love the air anyway with my freezeray I will stop--
