Not Your Grandmother’s Mozart!

While there are few violinists as gifted as Gilles Apap, even fewer (perhaps zero) would have the imagination to transform Mozart as he does in the video below.  His cadenza incorporates Indian ragas, Eastern European dances, folk music, Irish fiddling, Prokofiev, the blues, whistling, singing, and more.

Gilles Apap is a featured artist in The Savvy Musician.

While there are hundreds of thousands of great performances captured on tape, the music videos featured on TSM blog feature musical creations that are unusual, innovative, humorous, or otherwise purple. This collection is fun–perhaps a stress reliever or diversion at a late night bash! It also provides you with an opportunity to discover new and creative musicians. Let us know if you’d like to see a video here. ENJOY!!!
