    Nick Ariondo, Double Grammy Award Winner with the LA Opera Orchestra, performs a solo encore of his incomparable Flight of the Bumble-bee. Composed by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Flight of the bumble-bee has become an international favorite. This riveting solo rendition by Ariondo showcases the accordion's dynamic range and technical mastery -- the L.A. Times calls Nick Ariondo the 'preeminent accordionist'. Sponsored by the Hennings-Fischer Foundation/Olympia Philharmonic Society, Nick was honored to partake in this memorable concert tribute dedicated to the great violin master/pedagogue Noumi Fischer. Throughout his career, Ariondo has created a large reportoire of specialized arrangements & original compositions for the accordion, from vocal to chamber and orchestra, encompassing musical styles from baroque, classical, folk and gypsy, to jazz, pop and modern contemporary.

    That ain't the flight of the bumble bee, that is the flight of a massive swarm of bumble bee's wearing ski masks, carrying chainsaws and chasing you through a forest.

    Wow the accordion really captures the actual sound of a swarm of bees better than any instrument I've ever heard. Just remarkable!

      Maybe because of its natural fade ins/fade outs... it fucking BREATHES... It's a living instrument.. I'm a guitarrist and I love it.. But accordean is just an abstract of all instrument in one place.

      He has undoubtedly spent much time rehearsing with/around them prior to this (on pieces that actually feature the orchestra, of course, lol), and everyone has gotten to know each other well, and it's so nice to see that warm, friendly atmosphere shine on the stage itself.

  • @adamcolbertmusic
    @adamcolbertmusic Рік тому +4

    Hardly 30 seconds go by and someone in the orchestra sneezes (to which their inner thoughts were probably "dammit!!!"), he just looks back and grins about, takes it in good heart and never loses composure. Someone could rip a fart and he'd probably laugh about it and not miss a single note!

  • @brahim119

    EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING. We can see the professional musicians in the back smiling with admiration. Those smiles worth thousands of clapping.
    Just like the great classical guitarists and great flutists like Jean-Pierre Rampal are credited for returning their respective and beloved instruments to popularity as solo and serious concert instruments. The same well deserved credit goes to *Mister Ariondo* and other great accordionists. I can safely say that the accordion is a complete instrument, a little orchestra by itself.
    Thank you for sharing.

Да ... (!), вспомнил, Сергей Михайлович Колобков с завидным постоянством радует "Полётом шмеля"(!) ... -- в общем, таких блестящих музыкантов, как Nick Ariondo и Сергей Михайлович Колобков очень и очень мало ... , но они, этакие Мастера(!), 'они в тельняшках'!!!

    I tip my hat off to Korsakov. Ive being playing accordion for 61 years since childhood at age 9 in 1959. Now I'm professional. It takes a man to play such a difficult piece as "Flight of the Bumblebee". It takes nimble fast fingers, concentration, coordination to play such a piece. I tried and tried. You're the man, Korsakov. You're the man that can.

    His composition is something else. I was imagining a little bumblebee which turns into a monster created by H.P. Lovecraft or Stephen King hunting me down until I collapse from the immense horror it gave me. Truly frightening beast of a bumblebee :D

    •  8 років тому +1

      This isn't something custom but I can't remember what's it called in English. It's something "mosquito" something. maybe but I'm sure it got something to do with mosquito's.

    • @kitchenmaiden81
      @kitchenmaiden81 8 років тому +1

      The song is called flight of the bumblebee, not mosquito. What he was meaning was his composition of the already existing song was astounding. Sorry for replying to the old comment.
