truly awesome

Jud Watkins

Masterful! Virtuoso means "able to make the instrument sound like a human voice."This artist has achieved virtuosity.

Nelson Dorian Masson

Holy. Shit.

It's Ms. Pirazzi Oo

OMG!! My Respect Monsieur Thile!! BRAVO. 

Mandotwang

2 rappers mistakenly found their way here.

Mathias Henning Pedersen

He even looks more and more liker a proper artistic genious, slightly mad that is. He shines!

Andrew Niess

The fourth note of measure forty-three is correctly a G, not an F as played here.Otherwise, a strong performance. 

Christina Blom

I don't think it's histrionics, I think he's just feeling the music. Look at Glenn Gould, used to hum as he played.

Brendan Macie

Such a skilled player. I just wish he didn't flail around like an idiot whenever he plays.

Coffee Table News

That fucking ending! That was huge! Beautiful interpretation! Holy crap!

Lynard Brock

I agree with what Chris said about the audience being over reserved when playing classical music like Bach etc... Why do not the people get into the music, and feel it? I mean it is heavy music. Awesome

Tran Duc Tai

Stunning!

lloyd black

who disliked?... neway tht dnt matter ig,, this is amazing, Schwarzkopf pretty much said it all lol

The difference between a classical player and a popular music player doing this kind of piece is that a "classical musician" wouldn't bother with all the facial and body histrionics. Amazing performance, but I don't think dancing is helping much.

Frank Curran

"AMAZING"

Mariah Murphy

This is hard to play on the violin- let alone the mandolin! Chris Thile you are amazing!

Sure, Chris has been truley gifted by god to write the way he does, but maybe leading a band isn't your thing and you perhaps would be better off playing for a master in collaberation

Now hold on man! Your going to give up a passion for that? You think you lack talent. Let me define talent for you. The natrual love and passion to strive for something. Now let me tell you what Chris Thilie is. A man who has spent his time since the primarys moments of a musicians careerer playing the mandoline. By the ages of 13-15 it is best for one to decide their instrament. Then after these years if they have not decided, the instrament they choose will be lacking in skill. You learn and preform best young. Don't wait and end up learning many instraments, (chello, bass, violin, mandolin, guitar, banjo, dobro, saxaphone, piano, bass clarenete, etc.) and spreading yourself thin. It is good to have a knowledge of all the instraments, but first y must choose one to master. It is not shallow to line them all up and feel them to then decide. Learn to read music on them all and then decide the instrament you want to dedicate that part of your musicianship to. LEARN TO READ MUSIC FIRST ON WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, MOVE TO NASHVILLE AND GET A COACH.

Someone hit the 'dislike' button?Oh well. Perhaps they are a rap fanatic... or drunk.. or both....I have thought of taking up Mandolin... but I would never get to be that good.Guess I'll stick to being a bass player...
