Hi, Alexej! This is so beautiful! I am crying again from admiration of the song and your performance of music. Shame on me, but most of the time I don't fall in love with a song on first listen, even if it's BAND-MAID. But in the case of "Epic Narratives", I fell in love with "The One" on first listen. And it's the only "new" song I loved on first listen. It's so beautiful! Your performance of this beautiful song is amazing! It brings tears of admiration to my eyes! I'm still amazed how one instrument can produce such different melodies! Thank you for your cover!
Hi, Dmitriy! Thank you! 🙏 Totally agree, the song is very beautiful. Don't shame yourself, it happens to me often too. But regarding "The One" - that was love from the first sight. Cello is a very versatile instrument and I will do my best to prove that. Thank you for supporting me!
Сидел слушал это всё и пытался представить, как это бы выглядело, если бы девочки пригласили тебя выступить с ними во время какого-нибудь акустического концерта. Мне кажется, через несколько лет они вполне могут что-то такое начать делать, просто чтобы разнообразить меню, так сказать. Ты очень хорошо бы вписался в их компанию в акустическом режиме, мне кажется. Прям у тебя получается настроение передать, которое BAND-MAID в акустике транслируют.
Спасибо! 🙏 Я рад, что получается передать настроение. Было бы здорово поработать с ними, это незабываемый опыт. Будем надеяться, что получиться вместе сыграть или хотя бы записать для них партию.
As I have often said, their best work has not been produced yet. It will be a critical success but will divide the Fandom. By this point Band Maid will be willing to take more chances and will musically grow by leaps and bounds. As the Beatles couldn't just keep playing Love Me Do, Band Maid can't live in the land of Daydreaming forever. They will shock and surprise...but they will NEVER be boring or predictable ! ❤
Danke, Alex, das Video kam heute genau richtig! Du hast mir mit diesem Song ein wenig die dunklen Schatten vertrieben und mir doch noch ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert!🫶🏻👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
@@GaryHolloway-810 hi Gary, schön, dass du dich wieder gemeldet hast! Ich habe mir schon große Sorgen gemacht, dass es dir einfach gesundheitlich nicht gut geht! Wir sind ja nun einmal in einem Alter, okay, ich bin ein paar Jahre älter! LOL! Es ist wundervoll, von dir zu lesen! gerade in diesen jetzt doch sehr düsteren Zeiten! Ich freue mich!

Hello, Alexej-san. I was impressed by how the calmness of this piece was beautifully expressed by the cello. It's wonderful. Listening to your performance, my heart was also calmed. Thank you very much.
Another great arrangement. i guess this might be your fav on the album? Man.....I want Band-Maid concert with orchestra so bad after listen all of your arrangements. 😢
Simply beautiful and perfectly performed as only our Brother Alexej can do. The care and gentleness he uses in this song is magical and very Kanami-esque. I am sure she would love your treatment of tender masterpiece. Thanks Alexej, I needed this today. 🥰
Alex every time you do one of your incredible covers you bring a new beauty to an all ready beautiful thing. You find a way to capture nuances that one does not always hear in the original piece. As I have said before there has been times after hearing your version I found a new appreciation for the song you covered. As always thank you for sharing your talent and passion with the world. Much love and respect Brother Alex.
Thank you very much for your kind words, brother Keith 🙏 Glad my covers help you to appreciate Band-Maid music even more. Much love and respect, Brother Keith.
Oh my god Alexej. I had goosebumps so large they were honking! What an incredible arrangement. That was stunning and I know you'll give all the credit to Band-Maid, but your magic on the cello is spellbinding. Thank you so much for that. I would seriously love to see you performing Band-Maid songs in concert. And Band-Maid said they would be willing to work with an orchestra. Just throwing that out there. 😃
Thank you, Scott! 🙏 Glad you liked this cover so much. Indeed, all the credits go to Band-Maid ☝️ My pleasure. I would like to. Let's hope one day it will be possible 🤞 I remember that . Let it be!
Wow. Just wow. Another powerfuly moving interpretation of a beautiful song. More people need to discover your channel. The melodies of FORBIDDEN TALE move me to teas. I would love to hear your version of it.
Mr. Bagrintsev, your arrangements of Band-Maid’s songs are so well done. However, this time I believe you captured the emotion of Saiki’s vocals as well as the feeling of the song itself. It was an emotional experience for which I thank you. Well done.
That was a brilliant arrangement performed beautifully, Alexej! Thank you for sharing it with us. Please take care and I hope you have an amazing week.
Merry Christmas, Alexej ! 🎄🎅 Thank you for your profound gift of music...and the lifetime supply of bananas 🍌. May your 2025 be a peaceful, profitable and productive year ! ❤
Merry Christmas and Happy New year, Frank! Thank you for supporting Band-Maid and me! And many thanks for your wishes! Stay healthy, inspired and happy in 2025! 🎄🙂🤝🤘
WOW!!! AWESOME!!! Another amazing rendition of a Band-Maid song. I was hoping you would do this one sooner than later. Beautiful...and a very moving. PO!🕊 🤘🥲🤘
Well done, Alexej. You and your cello playing have done it again. The beauty of Kamani's melodies seems to work so well with cello and the purity of the melodies shines through. This has fast becoming one of my favorite B-M songs. Thank you for sharing!
@@alexejbagrintsev Some fan suggested that they hope someday B-M will have the opportunity to play with a full orchestra. and your cello covers show why Kanami/B-M's compositions deserve such a treatment. I have no musical training but love music, especially hard rock since the mid-60s with the Beatles and the first wave of British Invasion to America. But somehow I got bored by mid 80s and discovered classical music. Among the first classical pieces that captured me were cello sonatas by Franck, Dvorak, St. Saens and cello that got my full attention to Classical music. It wasn't until the 2020 lockdown when I rediscovered rock/metal with B-M and other J rock/metal artists that got me back to this genre of music. This is my longwinded saying I really enjoy your covers. They absolutely complemented the B-M goal of their domination. I hope someday you will have a chance to perform with these talented ladies. I will definitely enjoy watching you perform live some day. Thank you so much for your misic.
I remember it from their interview for Fox 5 NY. Let's hope it will happen very soon 🤞 Those pieces are awesome and glad after discovering them classical music got your full attention. And same for Band-Maid and other J-rock bands. Thank you, I'll try my best to help the Ladies to conquer the world. That would be awesome 👍 I hope in 2025 I will have a chance to tell them about covers during MC. Maybe they know it, but after that moment it will be 100% My pleasure. All the credits go to the Ladies, I only cover the music.
For some reasons they can't do that. Too bad I didn't tell the Ladies about covers in Kagoshima, cause I was able to get their attention then and my friend Pohoji-san told them I was from Belarus. But at least they know me as a funny fan from Belarus 🙂 Thank you.

Hello, Koji-san. Thank you 🙏
Ballades usually fit the cello well and I was confident this song is no exception. Glad it worked 🤞
Incredibly beautiful adaptation and expressive performance. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
The low notes.just hits the mood.
Thank you 🙏
This works so well on cello. What a great song

This song is great 👌
Speechless Alexej, most beautiful impossible. Kudos my friend.
Thank you, my friend Fernando 🙏
Simply lovely, Alexej. And powerful, too! ❣
Thank you, Tom! 🙏
Another stunningly good cover. Could really feel this one.
Thank you 🙏
Amazing tribute to the beautifulest song of Epic Narratives. There is so much music in Kanami's head. She is a wonder.
Thank you 🙏
Totally agree about Kanami-Sensei.
Almost as beautiful as the original 😉 Great job as always! ❤
Thank you 🙏
Glad to know that 🙂
Another great arrangement. i guess this might be your fav on the album?
Man.....I want Band-Maid concert with orchestra so bad after listen all of your arrangements. 😢
Thank you 🙏
Exactly, my favourite.
Me too. That would be great!
Gorgeous cover! Thank you Alexej! 😊👏👏
Thank you, Jonas! 🙏
Brilliant song played perfectly. Kanami is watching. When Band-Maid do their orchestral album expect a call.
Thank you 🙏
That would be great!
Do you really think Kanami-Sensei might watch covers?
@@alexejbagrintsev I'm sure of it. One of her wishes from the start was that other people learn and share her music.
She is so generous 😃. Let's hope despite being busy Kanami-Sensei still finds time to watch covers 🤞
素晴らしいですね。優しく包み込むような音色が美しいです。メンバーにも届くと良いですね。もう届いてるかな？
ありがとうございます🙏
それはいいことだが、わからない。
彼らが見てくれることを願うしかない。 出場者全員に×印をつけた。

The One is perfect for cello. The cello is such a sympathetic instrument that brings true feeling to a beautiful piece of music. Many thanks Alexej!
Thank you, Graham! 🙏
Totally agree about the cello, I like this instrument for an amazing sound which imitates human voice better than any.
This song is a ballad that Band-Maid excells in. Thank you for the great rendition of it.
Thank you 🙏
Another great one Alex!
Thank you, Emery! 🙏
Absolutely beautiful music and excellent performance.
Thank you 🙏
Mr. Bagrintsev, your arrangements of Band-Maid’s songs are so well done. However, this time I believe you captured the emotion of Saiki’s vocals as well as the feeling of the song itself. It was an emotional experience for which I thank you. Well done.
