I am since July 2019 on Instagram, it is frequently updated, get more insight and follow my projects from early stages: #bozoparadzik
If the many versions of this piece have taught me anything its that a violin can mourn a cello can cry, but a contra bass can weep
What a thoughtful remark. Well said.....
🫂🫂
@@tjgainey3922 no. A instrument has to sound deep and beautiful to weep
I've totally underestimated the double bass. This was profoundly moving 👌

Just shows how underrated we double bassists are.
Exactly!! Double basses are incredibly important and they’re extremely beautiful
Well, there are so few double bassists who make a beautiful sound, if we're honest. This guy is a rarity
Agreed. As a guitarist I never took you guys seriously until I heard this. Although, to be fair part of it is because hardly anyone on the planet 🌍 plays this instrument.
This recording made me pick up my bass after abandoning it for a few long years. Thank you for this beautiful interpretation!
I am a 16 year old bassist (not professional yet) and this video has inspired me to continue playing my bass regardless of what others tell me. I hope one day I can play as beautiful as you and move people the way you did with your playing
I played in elementary school middle school and part of high, I quit to learn the piano and after a good 6 years I’ve forgot most of the string bass. I’ve recently been relearning it. My biggest regret has been quitting that instrument. Never give up man you got it
I played this in my schools senior symphonic band and this version brought me to tears.
Man i'm getting a double bass. I already play the piano, but always wanted to learn a bowed instrument. It will be hard to learn, but i'll try it. I was considering cello, but this came up and blew my mind. Best version i've ever heard of this piece.
Thank you very much and good luck 🤗 double bass is indeed the best instrument to learn for people who begin late, good luck
@@bozoparadzikcom I have a joke to you. In my school the 1 grader learning the Double Bass.
@@ImJumber I have a joke too
Oh wait your the joke😐
@@hashiragamers9321 is that a type of cyber bulling?
We have almost the same story. Started out on the piano a few years ago and I really wanted to learn a bowed instrument. I initially tried picking up the cello but ended up with the double bass.
I’ve been learning the instrument for a couple months at this point and I have no regrets! Kudos to the player in this video for the incredible playing and added motivation.
After 10 years I still thinking that this is best pieces I´ve ever heard. Thanks for such beautiful interpretation.
This is one of my favorite musical pieces ever composed(yes, including some of the classical masterpieces), and I of course adore Itzak Perlman in the original version, but hearing it on a double bass like this, gave it a new depth.
I thank you for giving me this new way of experiencing it.
Amazing. Imagine how high could he go on a cello!
I've never commented on any UA-cam video before; I'm a late starter double bass player and I have to say that this is the most beautiful playing I have heard! You've inspired me. Thank you.
Thank you so much
@@bozoparadzikcom May I ask where you studied?
@@phillipcoombs5062 I think, Croatia? Maybe you should google search up a little bit to fact-check my statement. I think I somehow read about Prof. Božo Paradžik's biography on his website and watched few of his interviewed videos on UA-cam.
@@JoanKSX Thanks! I'll have to take a look. his playing brings a tear to my eye - he really makes that bass sing :)
I listened this about 10 years ago, maybe through another channel. You bring me to the same place again where I reached at that time. This is perennial music.
I actually prefered this over the violin version, You really inspire me to practice, and this was beautiful as always. Definietley going to learn this!
So beautifully done brought tears. Thank you for sharing.
That was very beautiful!, double bass is a fantastic instrument. :)
Sooooooooo schön gespielt dieses wunderbare Stück!
Mir kamen wirklich die Tränen, deine Musikalität ist echt gigantisch, lieber Božo🌷
I watched Schindler's List recently and this almost made me cry..... Very well done, and a beautiful performance.
Beautiful, but did you tune this a bit higher than normal?
This is incredible and beautiful. Bravo. It brings tears.
Thank you ...for the work put in alone with your instrument, the practice that leads to this exquisite teardrop of a moment you have created for us. Bravo maestro. 👏👏👏
i've always LOVED playing this song but hearing it on a double bass............ that's just amazing
This is absolutely amazing
I've played double bass at school for 8 years but never really good cuz i lost the fun playing that instrument after ca 3 years and so i only "practiced" the school pieces where i often only had to play the same "levels" and i found it boring af soo after i finished school i havent touched my bass for almost a year... but seeing this video and hearing you play made me remember why i've liked that instrument so much at the beginning and it makes me want to play again thank you!😊
Ooooh 😍 your words make me happy 🙏 you probably didn't have luck to have an inspiring teacher
No pude evitarlo, las lagrimas corren por mis mejillas de tanto dolor que siento al escuchar a este excelente músico y gandioso instrumento! Nunca imagine que un contrabajo lograra tal efecto en mí. Gracias!!
Fantastic player, amazing .
So beautiful I played this at my concert as a solo I'm in Highschool
Wow, this brought me to tears! Your playing is so inspiring, I can only dream of my bass sounding this beautiful. So much talent and emotion in one video, BRAVO! ❤️
A conservative commentator who plays violin ( no need to reveal his name) played this piece on the violin.
he did not understand that though he got the notes right that was ALL he got right.
musicality and musicianship are so much more.
Mr Paradzik shows his understanding of this.
this from a former bass player . . .
Oh wow, I don't know how you do it. I think if i tried to play it like you it would take me 40 more years of practice. Simply amazing.
Thank you. At this point I had "only" 27 years of practicing. This was kind of sight reading... printed the music 2 days before that
WHAT?! Now I am even more baffled. I thought you just made it look easy but that it was actually a challenge to perform and I find out that it was in fact child's play. I know my skill and that wouldn't sound like that if I had practiced it every day for a whole year. You are my Idol Bozo.
Lágrimas de emoção ao ouvir essa música no contrabaixo e tão bem afinada e cheia de emoção!! Amo!!!
Thanks you for this video!
I think anyone would do well to match the tone here; absolutely breathtaking. This is extremely difficult to play and he makes it look so easy.
This is beyond beautiful, thank you so much
This guy is amazing. I'm sure this is much more difficult to play this piece on a double bass rather than on a violin.
Thanks. Probably yes
@@bozoparadzikcommost definitely yes
What. A. Performance😮. Incredible!!! ❤
Bravo Božo!
Yup beautiful to listen to and to watch. Thank you both.
Absolutely Beautiful!🎶
Magistral Maestro. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
This is the best Schindler's list on youtube that I've heard
Ikr
the double bass is really amazing :-) and your playing is too
Very beutiful instrument
How i wish the price here
In Brasil wasn't só high
Such beutiful instrument
Bravo, maestro.
now we are talking 😀😂 Excellent. at the end, by the sound I would swear he was playing a violin...
Great - thank you!
How long have you been playing your so amazing you deserve WAY more subscribers your just amazing.
🎼Brilliant! Overwhelming! Standing ovations!🎶
phenomenal work
Outstanding
@@coldettesouhuwat4536 thank you
Wow! Magnificent!
BRAVO, MAESTRO!
Beautiful, im weaping. bravissimo!
Still amazing 🙏
Hi, I love your performance of this piece!!! I checked out your first upload of this piece and read the description so I could find out how to play this!!! Unfortunately, I'm a 16 year old novice player and have no idea what it means to tune in high C or what A1 is.😭😭 Would that mean that the notes written for the violin would just be played on the bass?? What do you mean by tuning in high C but transposing in F. Wpuld that mean that you move the notes a third down?
Once again I'll say that your performance was hauntingly beautiful!!!
There is one single extra string, created for being tuned to C (small octave). Using it as the top string makes your bass a fourth higher than with standard tuning (G string is on second place, D string 3rd, etc)
@@bozoparadzikcom Oh many thanks, Prof.
Krásne 👏👏👏👏
I've been trying to learn this arrangement for a while. I'm not that good, though.
I find myself listening to it a lot more with everything in Mariupol. Harder to practice it, though.
Thank you for the beautiful performance!
And if you see this comment, please change the name. :-)
(Not'young', but'yong')
I like your performance.
I want to be like you.
I am a Japanese high school student.
I play a double bass.
I would be happy if you came to Japan.
I want to listen live.
Still watching......... Still being blown away.
But how do you keep your back from being destroyed? 😌😕
Correct positioning and sport in free time are the key. Never had any problems.
@@bozoparadzikcom Well, I try to relearn how to play while standing.
But after I observe Prof.'s posture, are you basically 'holding' the double bass with your chest at the back edge of the instrument body?
I wonder.
Because I'm having problem balancing the instrument while playing standing, as if the instrument is going to collapse in any moment especially during shifting position.
Many thanks, Prof.
Is that a huge violin? Amazing shifting and control
Lol you hearted all my comments 😆 thank you
😊 I read the comments always when I have time
I haven't listened to such melody with a feeling of heavy heart. I've watch the movie, the black&white cinematography makes it an epic one.
Can someone tell me the name of the instrument this master musician is playing?
Double bass
Super
Maravilhoso....
Amazing!❤🇦🇴
How to contact you ?
DIVINO, GIGANTESCO MUSICISTA ed INTERPRETE 👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌹🌷🌹 Cordiali saluti, Anna e Luigi
😍😍😍😍 grazie mille!
Incredibile
Great
🇧🇷Bravo!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
What was the tuning for the bass in this piece? I would love to play it but can't figure out how you have your bass tuned!!
High C tuning, I use it very often
@@bozoparadzikcom ❤
@@steve_o_tron6513 🤗
Gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. I'm a puddle.
Amazing sir. Where can I buy this piece of music for the double bass?
I'm sorry, I don't sell it, I wrote the reason
The Tuning is ADGC like Tololoche & you can use Tololoche strings
@@RockStarOscarStern634 yes, C is the top string
@@bozoparadzikcom Tololoche tuning.
🔥🔥🔥
Nice
Thank you very much
Altamente relaxante. Gosto muito.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The grave sorrow of this Jewish-sounding theme - is so appropriate to the timbre and range of a double -bass though I think it was originally scored for violin. Testifies to John Wiliams' genius.
I find that a lot of these heavy Jewish pieces sound best on bass, bruch’s kol nidrei and Bloch’s Jewish prayer come to mind.
BRAVO!YES GERMAN BOW! TANKS WONDERFULL
Actually bohemian bow... build and positioning. But I know what you mean 😊
@@bozoparadzikcom uau!
@@bozoparadzikcom The important thing is your bow isn't French! :)
@@jumpinjee I'm not so exclusively against the french bow 😊
⚡⚡⚡
💪💪💪
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is there somewhere that I can find the sheet music for this piece?
@why_me_tho-l check video description here: ua-cam.com/video/XWkpC7jmADI/v-deo.html
partition double bass please
I wrote in the caption of the video published in 2010 more about it and the problems with the licence and copyright protected
@@bozoparadzikcom I love your work so much i just want to play music, that's why I wanted to partition😓
@@sunshine_748 thank you so much 🤗 I never purchased the licence (the costs would probably be higher than the turnover from the sales), so without it, I am not allowed to share the sheet music, also not for free.
@@bozoparadzikcom thank you🙏
🙀That isn't possible...
How it's tuned?
cGDA, high C string
@@bozoparadzikcom huh.. a quint. (But i don't understand the difference "c and C")
@@bozoparadzikcom a.. not a quint, I understand. I get used to recognize from low string to high.
@@ImJumber oh, yes, I see... I don't know why only the bassists do that, rest of the world names the strings from the highest to the lowest 🙉
@@ImJumber oh, I wrote it because it is the C of the small octave... so consequently shoud be cGD but A¹E¹ the number should be at the bottom, so I void writing it
is there sheet music for this
Yes, but use the violin & piano version please. I have explained the problem in the caption of the "old" version, this same recording uploaded 9 years ago in SD
@@bozoparadzikcom Ah why didn't have any double bass version? There is already a flute version Japanese music arrangement (as unboxing and reviewed by Ms. Sunny Chiang and Mr. Eric on their Taiwanese UA-cam channel few days ago) but not double bass?
Hmmmmm
sheet music?
I wrote more about that in the caption of the main video (the one with many views)
I like you you are my idol
Well only one
Why doesn't he sit down to play it? Isn't it more elegant looking?
His prefering style =)
this guy turned down a career America offered him. congratulations for that! in.the states music is a source of entertainment!!!! music is,much higher than that! Bozo Paradzik is the Celibidache of the double bass. hate me all you want ....truth hurts
