Ragazzi siete davvero forti, unire la musica con la comicità.….… una domanda: ma fate dei master dove insegnate ai musicisti anche la recitazione? sarebbe davvero interessante.
ragazzi forza, fate presto ad aggiornare le date, siamo in tanti ad aspettare.….….….….….……
For your appearance in Greece, may I recommend that someone contact either the Megaro Mousikis (Athens Concert Hall) or the Badminton Theatre. They are both well established halls for you, with an audience that will sell out. You are well know VIRALLY in Greece through youtube, and all you need now is to cash-out a bit on that, since WE want to see you LIVE! The atmos-fear is great! Thanks for your magnificent revamping of music. You should be in TED.com as well. FRESH is what you are.
yes my friends, I watched all of the extras, they are very original, but I think you should look for Mozart here in Central America, particularly in Honduras (I dont think you will be more succesfull than in Venice, but you will have a lot of fun)and Aleksey would be a little more confortable than in India… by the way… you are very brave for making that documentary there. If you ever come to my country, I promise cows will be nehind a fence, and all of those beauties you showed will be in a closed can hehe. Besides, Richard, vibrato is made more easyly in our tropical weather. Thanks again for the DVD and for the extras in it.
Extras??? oh oh, I must have overlooked something…
Hope to see you again in Germany some time!
Hey Guys! Now I’m the happy owner of your “A Little Nightmare Music” DVD, it finally arrived. I saw it this afternoon with my niece, and we both loved it… I want to tell you that I received your warm mega thanks (on the DVD cover), but actually THANKS TO YOU guys. what you do is what the world needs, and from the bottom of my heart… You are moving in the right direction. Thank you again for your effort.
Thank You! Did you watch the “Extras”? We’re particularly fond of those “Extras”…
when o when are you coming to the US?? can you give us some dates / cities that are on your 2011 tour calender? pretty please?
All Info coming soon!
New York is on the list for the end of March 2011.
Hi!
I just have one question: Is there any possibility to get the notes of your pieces? Especially I would like to play “Mozart Bond” and “I will survive”. Greetings from Germany!!!
我发现这里每个国家的人都有……
看来你们应该会很忙，感觉似乎全世界都在召唤你们……
我想在你们来北京之前，需要一段时间好好学学中文了，这样的话对你们在舞台表演方面会很有帮助，到时你们的演出一定会场场爆满的！呵呵！
辛苦你们的网站管理员了！慢慢翻译吧……
Hi! I´m wilhanson and I´m from Brazil, I knew you guys through the youtube and it´s so funny your show, I´d like you guys come to here cause you have a lot of fans here too, congratulations, you´re uniques!

Your english is not terrible.
If you’re really bored (but you have to be really bored) we have a very stupid clip on YouTube called “the proper way to say Obrigado” where a Brazilian teaches Igudesman how to say it.
my english is terrible, I hope you understand, lol.
hi,i am that xiaodidi,chinese,who have just said some words to you in your message board .in fact i im only a high school student who have learned violin for years,and though i am busy with study,i dream of becoming a violinest like you,igudesman,whose work is exactly what he loves!
and you love chicken??you had come to the wrong place!!small cute animals like chicken,rabbit are really popullar in northen china,we eat almost every part of them!!we are so cruel,right?haha,just joking!
my holiday is going to an end,and this is my last free day .just talking to you is so happy,HAHa,thanks a lot for you attention!
Hello!
My name is Ai from Japan. I’m a student at university.
I knew your performance on video(youtube) that my aunt showed me, and I like your performance. It gives great laugh and smile to me.
If you can, please come to Japan!
You must have a really cool Aunt!
When will you come to Bang-kok!?
Hope to see you soon.
After going to Phuk-et!
it’s really an enjoyment watching you guys perform!PLEASE come to Singapore!!I will definitely purchase the tickets just to watch you guys!=D
We will come in a sling!
first I was very happy to know you.I from China and I speak English not good .if you can understand my means , I am so happy.I hope you can come to BeiJing for acting.mabye you have been,but I am so sorry to missed it.I have a restaurant,if you like it you can find me,every food is free!haha!
That’s all.wish you success in business!
Dear Qi,
Your English is way better than our Chinese! We have not been yet to Beijing. We love Beijing Duck and all Chinese Food! Many years ago we were in Hong Kong, and spent hours trying to find a restaurant that would serve chicken HEAD! Yes– that’s right, Igudesman likes to eat Chicken– Breast, Wing, Feet, Bum, Heart AND Head. In fact– he is a chicken! As we couldn’t speak Chinese, we had to use sign language and drawings to explain what we wanted! By the way, Joo, although Korean does not eat Chicken Head and unlike some of his countrymen, he also doesn’t like to eat puppies. Instead, he wears them as shoes. (Hush Puppies– small joke, no harm or cruelty to animals has ever occurred for the production of an Igudesman & Joo show– except chasing a goldfish).
Thank You for your wishes for our success and Thank You for inviting us to your restaurant and offering us free meals. We wish you much success too, but we hope you realise that if we come to your restaurant and eat for free, you might no longer have a business!!! We LOVE to eat!!!
很快再見!
Oops, now I booked a flight to Istanbul for Oct. 1st, and you tell me that you´re in Budapest. Oh dear oh dear, what now?
Or are you playing in the turkish Budapest, just outside of Istanbul ?
Love you and your show,
Ásta
its ok, istanbul is right next to istanbul anyway, so its fine:)
Please! Come to Germany! I want to see you in action!!!!
we have just been there, where were you?
dont worry we will return many times next year!
Me encanta el trabajo q hacen ustedes dos.…..soy de Colombia y me gustaria poderlos ver algun dia.…felicitaciones.…..son muy espectaculares
gracias felipe, un dia quizas vamos a visitar tu pais, esperemos.
Hi. I’m a massive fan! My brother, sister and I are coming to Budapest for your October 1 Concert!!!!!!! Woooohoooooo!! It just occurred to me — we’re coming from Australia — and obviously in Hungary — their preferred language is Hungarian.
Will the concert be in English?… or will it be Hungarian?
You are coming from Australia especially for our concert?;)
Dont worry, we will do it in English ESPECIALLY for you!
Please, please, please, come to France !!!
Paris, Marseilles, etc…S’il vous plaît !
We love you, so come !
We love you too and we will come, as soon as they want to book us!
First of all: we love you and we can’t get enough of the youtube video’s. But we want to see you live!! Please come over to Switzerland or to the Netherlands, we will make sure that the Tonhalle in Zurich or the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam will be filled to the ceiling. But let’s get serious, is you agenda for 2011 already available? All the best! Leo & Wendy
OK Leo & Wendy,
If we get a date in Concertgebouw or Tonhalle, you’re our guys!
What happens if we’re performing in both halls at the same time, will you be able to fill up both?
Hi you two, here is the high-school-lady with 7 kids and grey hair.
I can’t believe that you remember the 2 minutes we spoke some words. Schade, dass wir nicht noch zusammen Mainz bei Nacht angeschaut haben, mit Euch könnte man Pferde stehlen
In youtube I watched a wonderful concert: Joo and Billy Joel!!!! Certainly you know, that Diabelli op.149,6 is compatible with “piano man” by Billy Joel? Curious? My family had to fill a minute by playing some tune in television. To make this a little bit more attractive, my fantastic violin teacher showed me how to mix Diabelli with Billy Joel. It’s funny. Do you want to watch or hear the little idea — just for fun?
best wishes
Ilka
How can we forget you?
We thought it was near to impossible that someone who has 7 children can look so young and hot!
Please send all ideas! Billy Joel has been a wonderful inspiration– in particular his “Questions and Answers” Lectures. Diabelli and Joel?- sounds very interesting indeed!
He always said that he steals from the best!
Another song of his directly quotes Beethoven– “This Night” (2nd mvmt. Pathetique)
He wrote some wonderful classical music which Joo helped in arranging and recording on the album “Fantasies and Delusions”. And Igudesman performed the violin solo in “Downeaster Alexa” with Joel at the Vienna Stadthalle a few years ago.
An awesome idea, the performance on the Eurostar! But please, without the helicopter… I mean, what impression would that make?
Hello, I am Malak from Egypt, Just saw your videos on You Tube and I have to say beautiful beautiful beautiful and not to mention a true performance
Any Chance of a performance in the Cairo Opera House Egypt Maybe?
hi,i am a chinese,i looked at your performence and love you very much
have you played in china?
will you play in china sometime?
i believe that you will be loved very much in china
We are not Chinese, but we love Chinese Food, and we know that Chinese food is just called “food” in China.
There is a wonderful song by Monty Python which goes
“I like Chinese”.
We’ll see you when we perform all along the Great Wall. That concert will be televised from space.
hello„„„,
I’m haim from Saudi Arabia
I love your shows and I looked at your presentation in the Alliot YouTube and I liked very much
شكر
Hi,
)Please continue your “might die of laugh” show ! i’ll come see you !
One of my friends posted a video of you on facebook yesterday and I WORSHIP your music ! Come to London soon please. (France would be nice too as I’m french
Diane
How about we perform a gig on the Eurostar and that way we could be in both London and France. Tom Cruise killed a helicopter on the Eurostar…
Hallo Ihr Zwei!
Seit zwei Tagen laufe ich lachend durch unser Haus, weil ich immer wieder an Eure geniale Show in Mainz denke. Die Kinder freuen sich natürlich sehr über die amüsierte Mama und die Freude schwappt auf die Kinder über — auf die 7 Kinder. Könnt Ihr Euch vorstellen, wie amüsiert wir alle sind?
, die Kinder haben sich riesig gefreut!!!!!!!
Euer “What?” über die 7 schallt immer noch durch mein Ohr, das war echt!!!!!! Danke für das Bild mit den 7 small fingers
Hoffentlich kommt Ihr bald wieder in die Nähe, dann bringe ich ein paar von den 7 “Zwergen” mit.
Ilka
ah, you are the 7 kid lady, who looks like she just came out of high school!
es freut uns so sehr das es euch spass macht, jaaaa bring die kinder nächstes mal, bring the kids along!!!! xxx
Hi you two!
)
wow, what a great concert show in Mainz yesterday! Thank you very much! That was absolutely faboulus.
I love your DVD, but in reality you are even more wow! Thanks again!
Defenitely I will be coming to your next show in germany, no matter where it is (even if it is in Aachen, although I do not live there
Thanks again and keep on going with your brilliant show!
see you soon,
Ásta
yes, come, come, in fact why not travel even further? how about istanbul on the 1st of october?
Sorry, we meant Budapest on the 1st of October!
My name is Buddha.
His name is Pest.

Hi,
I met you (joo) in the vienna filmfestival.
So shock that I couldn’t able to talk to you. Actually, I stood next to you in the bus stop(no.1) haha…^^
I enjoyed your show so much.
Come to Hong Kong, Please.
I am waiting for your performance.
thanks, well we would love to return to hong kong — we loved it there — in fact we had a dim sum overdoze!
Oh, I just ‘found’ some money — so I’ll order your dvd on the internet.
Not as good, of course. Good luck for tonight’s concert!
well thank you and thank you again!
Dear I&J,
your show in Mainz was really awesome (and cozy, in that little tent), my best evening in months!
What I admired most was your ability to play and at the same time do those… things with your facial expression.
Unfortunately, my friend and I were so broke, we couln’t afford a dvd. I’m curious, though: When you promised to give everyone a kiss who bought one, did that include guys, too?
“Für heavy metal, zerschlagen Sie das Klavier” — genial!
Keep going!
of COURSE it includes guys! we have kissed many a guy at DVD signings — its simply part of our job
thanks for coming although are broke!
Hallo,
ich hab mir gestern eure Vorstellung in Mainz angesehen. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen! Aber mal ne Frage: Gibt es von euch in absehbarer Zeit neue DVDs zu kaufen? Z. B. mit dem Programm mit Gidon Kremer und Kremerat Baltica? Die Ausschnitte auf Youtube sind ja sehr vielversprechend, aber ich würde das gerne mal komplett sehen.
Viele Grüße
yes we are working on further dvds — we will keep you updated! freut uns das dir gestern gefallen hat!!
i love your music, i think music is just to take us fun.i wish you can come to China,i hope i can meet you one day.i will always support you!!!
we would love to come to mainland china some time! we have been in hong kong and taiwan and loved it!!! and thanks for your consistant support…
Hey, I found your DVD in Amazon… I just ordered it, but it will be here in two long weeks. I really hope the DVD will be signed by you guys, but not in the silver color part, because it will not work that well in my player. (just kidding, I know you dont sign every disk in the factory)
oh we sign every dvd and even lick each envelope, we caress each cover and cry a little tear of joy every time its sent off…
Hey Igudesma and Joo. Big fans here in Serbia. It was great to see that you do tours, and even greater to see that you’re doind a live concert in Croatia, which is a neighbor country. It’s sad that we’re in bad relations meaning I’m unable to watch you guys live in September.
If you ever feel ”going the extra mile” and making a show in Serbia, I’ll be there. Stay the best.
Peter.
^ Nice way of saying please come. ASAP. Cheers.
oh we have been a few times in serbia and loved it — we will return i am sure!
Dear Igudesman and Joo,
We are so thrilled, we live in South Africa and have just found out that we can actually see your show, LIVE, on the 21st of December 2010 in Bucharet, Romania — where we will spend our Christmas Holiday visiting family and friends!!
We are really looking forward to it!! Will there be some of your DVD’s available to buy?
When will you plan a South African tour?? Please, you must do it in 2011
Looking forward to the 21st of December!
Pat & Gert
Oh we would soooo love to come to South Africa! One of our absolute dreams… lets hope we get there.
well until then we will see you in Bucharest — but watch out, book tickets NOW since we are apparently nearly sold out there already.
Hello you two,
)
thank you very,very much for this really cool and interesting idea!:)
I have asked my music teacher today and she said it would be a good subject..so thanks a lot!
Do(es) you (Aleksey) “steal” things too when you(he) compose(s)/ what inspires you (him)?:)
Tausend Dank nochmal für diese gute Idee und wünsche euch viel Spaß in Mainz!
(I wish the conductor of the orchester where i’m playing would use the therm “Bratsche”. When he’s talking about sheet music for “viola” i always think he speaks to me
its our pleasure!
well, aleksey has influences, like prokofiev and bartok, but of course has an own “style” — but when it comes to film music: in sherlock holmes, where aleksey wrote and arranged and played some additional music, he was “inspired” by gipsy music and goran bregovic, for example.…
alles gute und bis bald einmal!
Hallo!
Ich habe mal eine etwas ungewöhnliche Frage.
Gibt es irgendetwas, was ihr schon immer mal bzgl. von Musik/Filmmusik wissen wolltet und noch nicht “erforscht ist”?
Suche nämlich im Moment ein Thema für eine Facharbeit und habe mir gedacht, dass man ja auch mal die besten Musiker der Welt fragen könnte, ob die vielleicht eine Idee haben!;)
Sollte eigentlich in den Bereich Filmmusik/Musicalmusik gehen, vlt wie sie sich verändert hat/Wirkung auf den Menschen / Vergleich von Filmmusik und einem klassischen Stück, bin aber offen für alle Vorschläge (falls ihr welche habt)
Kommt ihr dieses Jahr nochmal nach Deutschland (außer dieses Wochenende)?
Hoffe, ihr habt euch inzwischen wieder zurückverwandelt!
Liebe Grüße!
Liebe Frau Bratsche
A cool subject would be something you could jokingly call “music theft” in film music. basiucally every film score or parts of it sound like a composer or even a piece in particular. film composers actually do that quite conciously — in fact they take inspiration from others -
even the great ones!
Morricone, music for the Mission = Bach.
John Williams often has things that remind one of Gustav Holst, the Planets in his grand pieces (e.g. Star Wars).
Hans Zimmer, who Aleksey often works with, is often inspired by various composers. of course noone actually wants to “steal” or literally copy, but to use something else which is great as inspiration is the way all of classical music has eveolved in the first place.
und ja, wir werden sicher bald wieder in deutschland spielen — ob es noch dieses jahr ist, ist noch offen…
Hi I & J,
Great work — congratulations!
Just a question — did you guys study Iyengar Yoga at the Yehudi Menuhin school? — you both show great vitality and creative freedom — did this/does this form a part of your lives today?
g
actually we studied Muay Thai and Taekwondo between the age of 1 and 3, so maybe that did it. Ah yes and English school food — its just so good! But we do enjoy Yoghurt too, although we have never tried the “Iyangar” brand…
Hi Igudesman and Joo
When are you coming to the UK???? You guys are amazing and it would be great to see you here!!! Come over and do a show soon!!!
Keep up the great work, your so talented and a great inspiration for music, that it can be melodious and fun!!!
Your Number 1 UK Fan — KRESH
oh we would so love to come if someone would invite us.…
Hello you two,
I’m back from my holiday and very sad not to find new tour dates mentioning Aachen, Liège or Maastricht
Now tell me: What do I need to say to convince you to come to this beautiful tri-border region?
listen, Aachen 2 hours away from Mainz, where we are playing twice next week — get your lazy butt out of Aachen and come!
if you are too young, drag your parents with you and say its a matter of the gravast importance to the future of humanity, okay?
hey guys,
my family and me would really love to see your show in budapest, hungary. Unfortunately, I can´t see any possibility to book the tickets. There is always an database error
(http://mupa.hu/en/program/?pid=4887), .… ?!?
I know that´s not your problem but I do hope that maybe someone could help us
wish you all the best
Judith, from Graz, Austria
wow, you would come all the way from Graz? cool.
sorry the link is wrong, here is the right one for Budapest:
http://www.koncert.hu/koncert/region_live_nyito_galakoncert-_igudesman_and_joo_fele_kiralysag_2010-10–01
If you can figure out how to book in hungarian we will see each other soon!
Hey there,
I’ll be seeing your show in Mainz, too. And I’ll drag along my best friend who has nothing to do with classical music, but a visit to your homepage absolutely convinced her to come! I can already barely sit still, I’m so much looking foward to it! Hope the week will pass quickly…
just jump and down non stop untill you fall down into bed with exhaustion and fall asleep. repeat untill the 28th.
no seriously, so cool you are coming and bringing your non-muso friend!
kommts alle zum signieren nach dem konzert zum plaudern!
Hi guys!
I am growing to be one of your biggest fans, can´t wait to see you in Mainz in Germany on Sunday next week!
Will you be bringing the Riverdancing violinist?
Great show, love all of it (and you!)
See you in Mainz then!
Asta
hi asta! very cool you are coming. well, at the moment we only have one violinist and he does tend to riverdance for na apparent reason, so i guess you will get lucky!
we love you too, by the way…
make sure come to the dvd signing afterwards.
asta la vista!
My bad… Thanks for the correction. I see you are more patient giving geography classes than piano lessons… lol. Now here is a little spanish lesson:
El mundo necesita mas artistas con la creatividad que ustedes dos han demostrado, ojala siempre sigan con ese espiritu y por favor hagan mas videos y ponganlos a la disposicion de las personas en todo el mundo. Gracias por responder a todos sus admiradores, a ver si pueden responder a este.
benga chico, piensas que no puedemos hablar espanol? hacemos nuestro show tambien en catellano, entonces responder en esta caso no es tan dificil…
Hi guys,
Tonight I have seen your show “I will survive” countless times and it is now dawn and I work tomorrow but it is was so good and funny that I could’t stop watching. I am also pleased to see that the answers to these comments are also full of humor. Great!!!
well, yes, we do answer everything with humor, except for this one.
즐겁고 자꾸봐도 보고싶은 콘서트에요
어느새 팬이 되 버렸어요!!!
Answering your question… no, we are not related, maybe tracing back the family tree back to Adan and Eve.… and, wait a minute, you said Aleksey wanted to be an alien, and then you said he wamted to be asian… welll if im not mistaken, he is asian… isnt Rusia located in Asia?
Actually he is from St Petersburg, which used to be Leningrad, formely known as Petrograd and before that Hetrograd, Metrograd, Sexograd, Retorgrad and Rome. But that was a long time ago.
Well, the whole point is that this town IS Europe.
Actually, its perhaps the most European town of Russia. But all this doesnt matter now, since Aleksey is an alien Asian.
In your film “Everything you always wanted to know about classical music” is in the background of the scene with Julian Rachlin throwing the bow a piece of music,a kind of dance. What is it called?
By the way, why do you not spend more time in Bavaria,Germany ?
Tobias
ah bavaria where the weisswurst lives, we know it well! dont worry we will return soon.
actually the piece at that point is called “Klezmers Freilach” and its a traditional Klezmer piece, strangely enough.
It is great to hear that you might come to Korea next year. I’ll visit this website and check your plan from time to time.
by the way, no plan for “Being Gidon Kremer” DVD then? I know you have “a little nightmare music” DVD, and i think you should have “Being Gidon Kremer” DVD too if it’s possible..
I can’t wait to see you two in Korea
we are working on various DVD projects, so hope to have more soon! see you soon in Korea, we hope!!!
today, i was with some friends, (one of them was one of the cameramen in Musikverein 2006) at the vienna filmfestival..and i was really glad, to had the chance to watch this truly awesome show, it was so funny.
i hope there will be much more guys able to watch this.
awaiting a tour where u visit vienna again
Hey didn’t we meet there? I (Hyung-ki) was there too!!! Sebastian Leitner is one one of our true heroes and we admire his work, and he has been so helpful and generous with all our crazy filming. He will be in Dubrovnik with us filming our project with John Malkovich.
Thanks for tagging along with Sebastian, and we will be performing in Vienna next year– 2011.
Hey igudesman and joo! I am a huge fan of classical music and i think what you do is absolutely amazing. I would love to see you guys in concert here in Arizona. I would certainly pay to go see you guys live. So i will be looking out if you come here to Phoenix, AZ. Keep up the unbelievable work, you two are truly an inspiration to me. (:
well, thank you Eric. we certainly hope to come to Arizna also. by the way, have you noticed that there are many Erics writing to us? are you guys related?
I know everyone says this, but… is there a posibility of having you guys perform in Honduras sometime before 2090?… and one more question. Whay is that thing Aleksey used to play the violin in I will survive?
what, are you not happy with our 2090 Honduras tour? dont be so impatient!
and Aleksey uses an electric ultra-sonic balalaika-violin stick. you can buy it in most convenience stores on the Fiji Islands.
When are you coming to North America. We would love to have you in Toronto. Maybe you could do a show with the Toronto Symphony Orcastra.
(P.S) I spent a month in New Zealand a you guys would love it there.
Actually, we are planning many performances in North America next year, so hopefully we will pass by Toronto also!
Mr. Igudesman and Mr. Hyung-ki,
I live near the wonderful city of San Franicosco. Will you PLEASE come to California, (not called the Golden State for nothing:) Ever since I saw your videos on youtube, I wanted to meet you in person. Will you PLEASE come to San Francisco?!
well, actually, alekseys half-brother, leon igudesman play in the opera there, so he sometimes visits. we will deffinitely try and perform there soon!
Wow! Come to New Zealand! (Auckland!!!)
Just a tad far from us, but we would love to come if and when they invite us!
I Love you guys’ performance.
Unfortunately, I’m living in Seoul, Korea and i missed your concert, “Being Gidon Kremer”, last year because i found out about you after the concert.
Is there any chance that I can see your concert, “Being Gidon Cremer”, in Korea sometime in the fufure? Or at least buy a DVD ????
dont know about all that, be it looks like we will might be in korea next year for “a little nightmare music”. would that be alright too?
ma quando in italia???????????
pronto, pronto!
check out tour schedule, soon more Italy dates will be announced.
By the way, why was Joo very angry when he was giving Igudesman piano lessons?
he was angry beacuse Igudesman had smelly feet.
I’m 10 years old, and many of my friends are your fans! I live in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. YFIDSUFUEJXK is actually NOT MY REAL NAME! But I just use it-it’s really just random letters. I can play the piano, violin, clarinet, and handbell, so I’m really interested in your performances. One thing-COME TO WASHINGTON D.C.! Many friends of mine want to see you perform LIVE, right in front of them!
Dear YFIDSUFUEJXK,
We like your name very much and would love to come to Washington.
If we do and you will be in the audience, we will shout out your name, okay?
my daughter is one year old and she actually started laughing when i showed her “mozart bond” on you tube..if only you would come to romania, too! please come and make our survival enjoyable, pretty please!
my husband is almost 30 and he wants to take piano lessons, hopefully not karate lessons, but still…look what you‘ve done to us! 
many thanks,
bianca
okay, we always say our show is good for people aged 8 to 88, but according to you it should be 1 to 111… we like!
Hello from Honduras again… I have a question… why was Joo so angry wan he was teaching piano lessons to Aleksey?… he actually didn’t play that bad!
Joo: because Igudesman is baaad student!
Igudesman: sorry master.
I really dont like calssic music but since i watched you , I sware to god that I listen to you every single day. your music make me soo happy
I just have one question why you dont make a concert in lebanon or jordon or in dubai or anyway in middle east , people need to know about your work their
and by the way Im from Qatar
thanks , keep it up
well, its great we managed to turn you on to classical music — it can really truly be awesome!
!!!!
you’re so awesome!!!
I and my friends want you to show in Thailand!!!
><

Hello, I’m a big fan french. Please, Tell me when are you in Paris! I can’t wait anymore.
Response in French?

Also amongst the professional colleagues, you have earned not only great comedy acclaim, but great musical as well. Respect on having a superb show on the road! You’ve so earned it!
If you’re looking for a venue in Switzerland, we have one.
Best wishes,

Hey Jungs!!!
Ich macht eine echt geniale Show, großes Kompliment!! Auch von dem Film “Was Sie schon immer über Klassik wissen wollten” war ich total begeistert und hab mich schlapp gelacht
@Yvonne: Ja, auch ich schau den ZDF Theaterkanal und bin 19 
Leider habe ich euch beide noch nicht live gesehen, aber das wird sich am 29. August ändern!!! Ich freu mich auf euch in Mainz!!! Wie wär’s mit einem Meet & Greet?
Viele Grüße
danke, danke! ja wir signieren eigentlich fast immer DVDs nachher also treffen wir uns dort…bis bald!
Are you really coming to Korea next year?
REALLY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!
I’m already excited!
And is it in April? (already confirmed?)
Oh.…I might have a master’s thesis presentation or something like that during that month…
but what the heck! I will definately go to your concert no matter what!
School can wait! But you guys don’t.
we will try our absolute best, we promise! as soon as we know, we will publish it on our homepage.
Coming to NYC anytime soon? I could also skip classes to see you two—or cancel the class I’m supposed to teach!
NYC will be next year! We will announce it soon…
please come to indonesia! you have lots of fans here (including me)
if you do a concert here I’ll skip my school to watch you two! LOL.
skip school? my god, that would make us criminals! well, ok then. we will do our best.
Hi,
I watched you concert in Hagen some month ago. Since then I am desperatly looking for that song which was started by a harp. Unfortunately the song is not on your DVD. Even worse: no one smuggled in a recording device and uploaded it on YouTube
I hope some day (soon) you will publish that song! And for the record: Your music is way to good to not recording it!
Hope to see you again…
thanks a lot holger!
the song (or number) you might be thinking of is Igudesman’s “Intermezzo” for solo violin and orchestra. its originally the slow movement from the 2nd violin sonata which is published on universal edition as sheet music — no recording yet…sorry!
How about Helsinki-Tampere and Jyvaskyla city in heart-Finland ???
actually we would prefer to play in Elimäki, Miehikkälä, Outokumpu and Rääkkylä…
You guys really should come to Sao Paulo — Brasil! Will you???
I Love ur work, ur music! Like say in Brasil: Show!!!!
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool! How about if we come to Brasil in 4 years in June;)?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
We have been to Oulu, mantaa, and Syssma already. How about next time, we go to Utsjoki and Nyruti?
You guys really should come to north Finland! Will you!
Well — OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello from St. Petersburg!
I’m so in love with what you guys are doing! And it’s so GORGEOUS you’re coming to Russia! Can’t wait for you show! Rock the Philharmonic!
we are so looking forward to that! actually, its Igudesman’s first time back to St Petersburg since he is 6 years old!
I love you both! Thank you for what you both are sooo wonderful!
Lisa
we love you too!
Hallo,
ich bin 19 und weiß, dass man als 19 Jährige nicht zugeben sollte den Theaterkanal zu sehen, hab aber letztens “Everything you need to know about classical music” auf dem ZDF Theaterkanal gesehen und bin überwätigt und fansziniert.
Ich habe die Musik genossen, gelacht und bei “all by myself” mitgeweint. (wirklich)
Wenn ihr dem Westen Deutschlands jemals näher kommt oder ich zufällig in der nähe bin muss ich eure Show unbedingt mal live sehen. Ich freu mich jetzt schon.
Ab jetzt habt ihr einen Fan mehr!
Gruß
Yvonne
wir finden es extrem cool das du als 19 jährige thaterkanal schaust!
wir spielen ende august in deutschland komm vorbei — party time!
Are you guys coming to prague?
Maybe end of September! Keep watching our updates!
Hey, guys.
I just saw your show, “Everything you need to know about classical music” on ZDF Theatre Kanal.
I am hooked! You have a new fan who is already making plans to see you in concert as soon as possible.
Your talent is incredible; as comedians, sure, but your musicianship is what makes the comedy work so well. You are maestros. That makes the show all the more enjoyable.
I live in France now so a show here would be great. If you ever get to Australia, though, I am going back ‘down under’ to take my children to see you.
Thank you.
Wayne.
thanks a lot! so why dont we simply do a show on the airplane from france to australia?
Hello there.
I am from Honduras, Central America, and I would like you to know that what you do is unique. I respect and admire your work, but there shoul be more publicity.
Your talent is something you don’t see everyday.
Thanks for your music.
muchas gracias amigo! we really appreciate your honest words.
Dear Alexey and Richard Hyung-ki, zdravstvuite and anyong-haseyo !
I’ve discovered you on youtube and since then I’ve seen every video I could find of you.
May I ask if you are planning to perform in North America ? We would absolutely love to come to your concert in Toronto.
Ja tozhe, kak i Vy, rodilsja v Leningrade, na 3 mesjatza Vas ranshe
S uvazheniem,
Roman
dear roman, we will be in the states A LOT in the next years, so not to worry — in your and igudesman’s hometown, we will be in november…
hi!
Saw your show yesterday on TV Awesome!!
I laugh a lot sitting beside my serious Friend he couldn‘t laugh about it. He told me Classic and Comedy doesn‘t work.…. –As if he would know!
Pity him! I won‘t take him to your concert in Mainz!!:-)
@Aleksey you are pretty flexible^^
your dancemoves are rocking.
I tryed some pretty fun
@Joo damm i don‘t remind something about you
–SRY!:-* not very nice:P — Oh now i remember the brom thing was very cool. Tryed that one too but i just hurt my Friend because he wan‘t fast enough XD
all the best
thanks almut — and its fine if your serious friend didnt appreciate it… a wonderful quote by joo is: “not everybody likes chocolate.”
Hi Aleksey,
Saw your show by chance on German TV last night. I used to try to teach you English in your flat in Hafenstrasse about 25 years ago. I remember that you were more interested in looking for solutions to computer games than learning grammar, but it was good fun. When you left for Stoke D’Abernon, the local newspaper ran a headline, something like “Local Boy on Verge of Great Career”. Why don’t you get them to follow it up?
Anyway, glad to see you’ve done well and hope your family are all well too.
Paul
wow, nice to hear from you paul! we hope to see you in a show some time! regarding the YMS — why dont YOU write to them? its a little strange if one writes to a place oneself, saying “we are so cool”…
Hey I got a reply on my last post, wow so cool! In that case, I have a question…
Would you happen to know any resources for studying classical music other than aural or music theory based approaches? I’m looking to delve into some composition similar to that of composer Yoko Kanno. Right now I can get close based on my more or less production based(Sound Design/Programming) based compositions, but would like to get better at just pure composition rather than having a big imbalance between instrumentation and composition. As for where I’m at right now, I have a few songs on my webpage here(click my name thing I guess)…
Sorry if this is an abnormally long post…xD
So far I’ve only been using a little bit of music theory and a lot of aural methods for composing just based off of whatever musical style I’m trying to experiment with or imitate. Is there any other resources you’d be able to recommend? (perhaps some super secret orchestral composer community??? Or perhaps a website that goes beyond traditional music theory?)
We shared the same early composition teachers at the Yehudi Menuhin School, namely Simon Parkin, and Malcolm Singer. They were great teachers and we learnt a lot from them. Perhaps one of the most important things they taught us was to keep on writing, keep on being open, being adventurous, and no matter what, to just DO IT! regardless of how good or bad you think it is, but to make it a part of your daily life, like breathing.
To answer your question more precisely, use anything and everything as your resource. It’s good to study and research but it’s equally good to experiment and follow your instincts.
Looking forward to hearing your works!
Hello
I am French and I liked a lot to say to you that you are extraordinary and that you have most of the humor.
I am a child (one pre-teenager) and already I like very much you!! I believe that it is my mother who found your videos on YouTube!!
Sonia
Chere Sonia
Merci pour Ton message. Nous allons venir en France lannee prochaine. JOO a passé la meillure annee de son enfance en France et IGUDESMAN est fascine par la grande cuisine francaise, alors nous viendrons a la premiere occasion!
Orleans? C’est la ville du Dixie Jazz, non? Oui, nous sommes tres fort en geographie.
A bientot!
Est-ce que un jour,vous ferais un concert en France ‚par exemple à Orléans (si vous pouvez me répondre en français faites –le !!)
In English if you do not understand French :One day, would make for you a concert in France, for example in Orléans (if you can answer me in French made-!!)
Oi my friends! I heard the great news that you‘re coming to S.Korea in 2011. I hope that it‘s really gonna happen!!
I will see you at a concert hall not through the youtube.
Love you guys and see you soon!!
cheers!
You could bring a computer with a camera and watch us live through the camera on your laptop. That would be a mixture of YouTube emotion and live experience…
Hallo, Hello und Privjet!
We just saw “A little nightmare music” on DVD and we are very impressed by your performance (c:
We read that you were up to come to Germany in August and would like to know if its going to be the same show?!?
Best wishes
Well no show of ours is ever exactly the same show as any other performance. But Most of the show will bear a lot of resemblence to the DVD you saw. To avoid any possible disappointment, We will tell you now that we will not do “ticket to ride” or “piano lesson” but we will do lots of things that are not on the DVD and there will even be in Mainz 3 pieces that we will only do in Mainz, and nowhere else. We try to keep our audiences and fans on their toes, as we know that many of them come more than once to our shows, so we love to surprise them with unexpected things. For example– The last concert we did in Portugal, two Taekwondo Martial artists did a little skit on stage– and not even IGUDESMAN knew! JOO planned it all as a last minute surprise! So who knows what will happen in Mainz? For sure, it will be same but different, but not alllooksame.com.
hey, is there any chance when you guys are in SPb you could have a cool confrontation with putin, you know, like yuri shevchuck did?
We will sit him down and play him some Mozart and Debussy and while he’s still seated, we will tell him to “sit down!l
Hallo aus der Schweiz,
ich habe heute per Zufall Euren Film: “Was sie schon immer über Klassik wissen wollten”, gesehen & bin voller Geister > also BEGEISTERT.
Ich liebe Eure Musik & Euren Humor: just great!
Wann kommt Ihr in die Schweiz? Ich würde Euch gerne mal live sehen; und hoffe sehr, dass Ihr auch Konzerte in der schönen Schweiz gebt
Best wishes usum Wallis,
Margrit
wir sind nächstes jahr spätestens wieder in der schweiz… wir lieben es dort aufzutreten!
hola Igudesman and Joo, son geniales, en verdad me encantan sus videos y realmente me gustaria que vinieran a mexico para tener la oportunidad de verlos en vivo, por lo visto hablan un poco español, pero no se preocupen, lo basico es: “tequila”, “comida” y “baño”, jeje, saludos desde sinaloa mexico y los esperamos por acà.
pues esto no es todo — tambien “tienes piernes de p… madre” y “me das un beso, preciosa?” es imprta, no? esperamos que vamos a estar en mexico en enero o febrero el proximo ano — pero no es fijo todavia.
No, my mother-in-law was not born twice (not that I know of), but we are staying at her place Saturday to Sunday and only return in the evening. So, as I said, no chance to come to Mainz and see you two
Indeed in Aachen people sneeze a lot, because it is known for its famous drizzle. Nowhere else does it drizzle so often, so nicely and nowhere else do people get a cold so often than in Aachen. Doesn’t that sound inviting?
So, once more my question: How about coming to Aachen and do a 3 concerts-3 countries weekend?
how about doing a 3 month residency in Aachen and living at you mother-in-laws appartment?;)
isn’t there any way you could visit sth.korea again?
I really really (x100) want to see your performances in person.
it’s not enought to watch those great performances on youtube!!!
it’s like a torture for me to check your newletter, knowing you’re not coming to korea!
언제 와요!! 오세요!! 와요!! 얼른요!!
No more torture– we should be coming next year, around April.
This is what really (x100) looks like:
WE are Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Stupid, and Masters of How to Waste Time.
I wanted to come to your concert in Mainz but it’s my mother-in-law’s birthday (and I already missed the last one). So no chance to go there, but is there maybe any chance you might come to Aachen one day? It’s a fantastic town, very nice old town centre, cobble stone pavement and a super-duper audience (including me and my friends:)
And if you are already in Aachen then you could also got to Liège in Belgium and Maastricht in the Netherlands, it’s all very near. So you could play to your german, dutch and belgian fans all in one weekend. Isn’t that great?
Was your mother-in-law born twice? Or over two days?
We are playing twice in Mainz, on consecutive days. Isn’t Aachen is a place where it hurts when you sneeze?
So a C, and E, and A walk into a bar…D:
ok you guys are too awesome for that joke…D:
No minors allowed???
Hallo
Ich war am 14.07. in Lunz am See. Die Vorstellung hat mir sehr gut gefallen, obwohl ich sehr enttäuscht war, dass ihr Zwei gemeinsam so wenig gespielt habt.
Ich hoffe die Gelsen haben euch nicht all zu viel gestochen…
Theresia
We needed a little shave. No worries.
But we played a lot together on the 15th!!!
When will we see the two of you in Norway?
soon we hope — keep on checking this website or best subscribe to our newsletter!
ok — seems I’m not that clever
this point goes to you,.……
nono, its just that WE are quite silly!
Thank you!
But we are only four — at least in Austria.
Never mind, the more love we can receive.
are protected,
D.D
Deka-Novsky= 10-Novsky
Quadro-Novsky= 4 Novsky.
We never said we were not stupid.
I love you two!
D.D
And we love all ten of you Novskys.
Just watched the Documentary on 3Sat and it was quite OK, the music was mediocre but I did grin once or twice at the Roger Moore sketch ( did I mention I am a James Bond Fan.. see my Website…)
I play the Bagpipes so do appreciate what Hard work goes into learning an Instrument, well most instruments.…I think too many people play Piano and Violin, don’t you?
If you ever come into Hannover then I may even come and see you play live, if nothing better is on TV that night of course.
No.…seriously… the Documentary was really quite OK.
well you are quite ok also;) yes, a lot of people do play piano and violin, but there can never be enough…and what a noise it would make if all the violinists would play bagpipe!
Hi Igudesman & Joo, We wanted to let you know that Pianomania is about to launch in the UK — we really like your scenes in the film. Also Erica Worth says hello. She is moderating a Q&A after the film with Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Robert Cibis. We’re tweeting about Pianomania and would love you to follow us and retweet if you can! Thank you, Vanessa and the More2Screen team
we will do our best — where do find your tweets — whats your tweet account name?
the last evening in lunz was fantastic! first the magic of hyung-ki‘s piano playing, then a very funny russian clubbing (sometimes nearly a tyrolean evening, but much better violin
) ), it was a great party, thanxxx a lot to you!!!!!!!
thanks natalie — too kind! we had a great time too…
When you come again to Portugal ?
again? we were just there 10 days ago girl! well, if someone hires us we will return!
I play the violin in a youth orchestra and we all love to watch your videos when we have free time during rehearsal; please come to Portland, Oregon!!! We have the oldest youth orchestra in America!! If you do come, you must visit the Portland Youth Philharmonic during one of our rehearsals or concerts!
the oldest youth orchestra — thats an oximoron, isnt it?
its like saying — we are the youngest elderly people, or that is the hottest ice cream or that is the most wonderful viola player…
anyway, we would love to come — convince your boss to hire us and we will be there
Can you come to Turkey Again =) pleeeaseee=)
we will be in Fazil Says festival in Antalya festival this year… date to be announced soon.
o zaman görüsürüz!
I recently discovered your music on YouTube, and it is amazing! I played Mozart Bond for my dad, and his reaction? “Nice song.” ha ha ha. He didn’t even realize they were 2 very different songs. So I suppose that is a compliment in that you mashed them together quite nicely! : )
Anyway, I hope you come to the USA sometime soon! It would be great to see a show in Ohio : )
Best of luck!
–Melinda
What, Mozart Bond is 2 different songs? WE thought its a nice song too… ah well, one learns every day. We also hope for Ohio one day.
Hi,
Why are you ignoring Tel Aviv? Gidon Kremer, Julian Rachlin, Alexandra Soumm will perform together with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra next year. Do you need a special invitation?
Well, if they invite us, we will go there tomorrow!
When do you plan to play in Germany? Best would be the Area of Stuttgart!
we are playing in mainz end of august (28. and 29.)
http://venyoo.de/s291719-igudesman-joo
Come to bloomington Indiana in the US at The IU school of music. I watched all your videos and want to see you for real!!!!!!!!! Have you ever seen or heard of Joshua Bell? Well Josh comes from bloomington.
actually, Josh is a good friend of ours and every time we are in the same country we party hard and long!
we would love to come to bloomington — maybe one day!
Hi! Good evening!
(I’m from Vienna)
I just recovered that you guys speak German
Als allererstes möchte ich sagen, dass Ihre Shows einfach toll sind, einfach etwas Neues auszuprobieren, nicht jeder hat den Mut.
Ich wollte Sie, Herr Igudesman, ganz speziell mal was fragen. Ich spiele selbst auch Geige an und habe schlimmes Lampenfieber, was mich auch zu dem Gedanken geführt hat einfach aufzugeben und nicht mehr zu spielen, weil es mich einfach genervt hat, einerseits auf der Bühne “abzulosen” bzw. mich zu blamieren, andererseits wurde ich immer enttäuschter von mir selbst. Haben Sie vl irgendwelche Tipps??
Lg Trish
yes, we do speak german and we live in vienna too, yipee!
concerning nerves — there are many ways to solve your nervousness during performance, but you have to find your own way. a great method is to play a lot. on the street. for your friends. for teachers. anywhere any time. there is nothing like routine! the other question is, how efficient your technique is. if its stable its a lot easier. then there is meditation, breathing exercises. some people need peace before, others like people around, its so individual! there are people who take homeopathic medicine, others even resort to drugs — not something we do, of course. you can try hypnosis, all kinds of therapy. kinesiology is very recomendable. in the end, its whatever works.
but remember to keep on playing a lot for public! if you manage to make them laugh, you and the audience will feel a lot more relaxed and then you can play something serious afterwards too!
Hello dear musicians!
I really adore your music. Please come to Belgium once again, I really want to see you live!
oh we will, we will, dont you worry!
come to america at the pepsi center. you would really enjoy america i promise you
Ooh– that might be difficult, as we are playing at the Coca Cola Center next door. well, perhaps we can get UHU and BOSTIK to merge the two Centers together. By the way, we know the secret ingredient that’s inside Coca-Cola. Bubbles.
please come to MILANO !!!
Why?
Just kidding. we love Milano. They sell a lot of shoes there.
We played in Teatro Ciak a few years ago. We will return…
Hi again, I forgot to say two things:
The first one, thanks for giving us such good moments like these, for a fair price. Here in Portugal ticket prices are stupidly high.
The second: I wanted you both to autograph my violin xD no, just kidding, but I wanted an autograph.
Anyway, loved the show. Keep on!
Pedro Castro
Please send us your violin in the post, and we will sign it and send it back, no strings attached.
When will you come to Germany? It would be so great to see you in Hamburg or Berlin!!!
We’d love to come to Germany as soon as possible– even more to watch the new great German Football team in action!
We will be in Mainz at the the end of August. We like eating Hamburgers and Berliners.
i love your concert im Espinho !
the credit card was the best !!!
you are breat , CARAGO !
CARAGO!!!!!!!
The Credit Card– we never leave home without it. Priceless.
Speaking of credit cards, there are some very funny “Banned Mastercard” commercials on YouTube. Check them out. Hilarious.
hello Mr Igudesman and Mr Joo.
As I said to Mr Joo last night,your concert in Espinho was fantastic, and we ( me and may frinds ) enjoyed it very much.
While you were autographing, I spoke with Mr Joo and he said me that a trombone is like a watermelon. he said me this becouse I said to him that I play trombone. I asked to Mr Joo why he said that and he said me to go home and think about it becouse was a difficult question. I’ve already thought about it and I can’t find the answer. I’ve also asked to my trombone teacher and he also don’t know the answer.
And if it is possible, I wish Mr Joo answer me this question because, as he said, is very difficult.
Congratulations for your work
Mário Sousa
Dear Mario,
Today’s investigation is: Why a Trombone is like a Water Melon?
Imagine you have a piece of paper and only a pencil. Whether you can draw or not, you are asked to draw a musical instrument that would look like no other musical instrument, regardless of how badly you draw it. What would you draw? A xylophone? Could look like a Marimba. A piano? Could look like a harpsichord. A clarinet? Could be an oboe. Is that a saxophone or a double bassoon?, cello or double bass?, a harp or a sowing kit?
BUT, a trombone can only look like a trombone.
Now, imagine the same task with a piece of fruit. You only have a pencil, remember. Strawberry? Could be a raspberry. Banana, a crescent moon? Starfruit– a starfish or a national emblem? Pineapple, a weird hairstyle? But a slice of water melon. And notice the emphasis on “Slice”. If you draw a water melon in a sliced shape with those black seeds, it will unmistakably be a water melon.
NOW– if you have coloured pencils, even easier to draw an unquestionable watermelon. Green, Pink, and Black Seeds. You’re Rembrandt!
If we could include examples, we would, but try it for yourself, or on your friends. Tell them to draw a water melon, or you draw a water melon, and ask them to guess what it is.
Same with the trombone.
Now you know why a trombone is like a water melon.
This is what music is all about. Life is the serious part…
We loved Portugal. Thank You for being such a wonderful fantastic phenomenal audience. We are now listening to Cristina Branco, Carlos Paredes, Argentina Santos, and Amalia Rodrigues 24/7.
Hi!
I was in your concert today in Espinho, and it was simply AWESOME!
I’m sorry you had to deal with the portuguese punctuality (which obviously doesn’t exist, as you saw), but I loved your performance (the credit card sketch is GENIOUS).
I hope that you had time to taste some portuguese food, because if you came to Porto and you didn’t eat a Francesinha, it was as if you went to the Vatican and didn’t see the Pope :p
Looking forward for your next show in Portugal,
Pedro Castro
We ate Francesinha, Bifana, Bacalau, Vinho Verde, Ginja, Pasteis de Belen, which is the best ***********ing thing in the universe, and a whole lot of other yummy stuff.
When we went to the Vatican, we did not see the pope. However, we saw the head of the Vatican Bank playing golf inside a tiny chamber. Obrigado, Portugal for a great experience.
sorry forgot something ;D
kommt nach München biiiitte <3
ah, so we are being specific… hmmm, okay then!
I saw a few videos on youtube and I’d really like to go to one of your shows. Come to Germany please. I’d love to see your show.
end of august in mainz — be there or be square! or circular.
Хорошо,позвоню:)
Просто у меня мама с сестрой тоже хотели пойти:)
I am green!
Yipee! xD
I am from Uruguay, is planning to make a tour of South America? I do not ask them to come to Uruguay because it is a very small country.
But passing through Argentina or Brazil would be more than enough to see them live.
A big hug from this side of the world.
we both love uruguay, so we do hope to play there one day… and well done in the world cup — fantastic playing!
Hey guys~
Will you come to Tokyo again next year? I have watched your performances both from youtube and your DVD and I am thirsty for your live performance! I know you were here last year, but unfortunately I missed it 0_0… Please come again! You two are just amazing! Keep it up!
ps, one question, I am going to get the DVD of Cyberconductor, I just wonder is there a DVD of The Rise and Fall of the Classical Musician that you were with Mr.Kremer? Or any other DVDs?
hi jospeh — yes we hope to return to tokyo next year! there is no new dvd out yet, buit maybe soon?
Здравствуйте, Меня зовут Адама, сама из Южной Кореи, но живу вМоскве
Я сегодня посмотрела ваш концерт “A Little Nightmare music” и хочу сказать, что вы просто изумительны! Как это я до сих пор жила без вас!!!)))
Искренне желаю вам здоровья как физического, так и душевного и счастья в личной жизни и, чтобы ваша муза никогда не покидала вас!
Mr. Joo, do you speak Korean? Well… I hope yes!
두분 다 21세기 최고의 뮤지션이자, 연극 배우라고 생각 합니다! “A Little Nightmare Music” 동영상을 우연히 인터넷에서 찾아서 봤는데, 보는 내내 너무 흥미롭고, 색다르고 해서 정말 푹 빠져서 봤습니다! 러시아 모스크바에 올 예정은 없으신가요? 오시면 꼭 보러 가겠습니다!!!
좋은 작품 만드셔서 정말 감사합니다!
hi adama!
well, we are playing in st petersburg in novemeber and in suth korea, probably next year… so maybe we get to see you?
You should come to New Mexico. I know it’s in the middle of sad, fat little America, but if you come to Santa Fe, there are plenty of creative, incredible people (who are a bit higgledy-piggledy in the brain, I won’t lie) who love your work and there are many others here who will end up loving it, too. Regards from one higgledy-piggledy to another.
how did you know we are higgledy-piggledy? who told you? and what on earth does it even mean?
nono, we get oit, thnx for the compliments and one day me well be near you…
Ольга, по-моему, они везде есть

13 ноября, Питер! Ну что же, надо ехать в Питер! И в Кемерово есть поклонники
davai priizhai!
…кстати,насчет билетов вообще ничего нигде не написано,даже,когда их можно будет заказать.
)
“da fstrechi” — мне это очень понравилось.
кстати,я вчера была у БЗФ
pazvani na tot telefonii nomer katorii napisan.
Действительно, музыка — универсальный язык.
Случайно нашел трейлер на youtube и вот… я стал еще счастливее потому что живу в Петербурге!
Друзья тоже в восторге — мы уже с нетерпением ждем ноября и ваших позитивных безумств! =)
Если только трейлер вызвал такую бурю эмоций, то что будет живьем? Ждем с нетерпением!!! =D
spasiba, spasiba!
Glad that you are coming to our St Petersburg concert! Just remember to book tickets in time, so you dont get dissapointed if its sold out.
paka, da fstrechi!
I have seen you on ZDFtheater tonight with Sir Roger. Thank you for being the way you are. Would be great to see you live in Luxembourg. All the best!
Luxembourg would be nice… in fact we want to do a tour one day of Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, San Marino, Andora, Monaco and end up in the Vatican!
Enjoy your stay in Chopin’s homeland, where they grow corn, which was the inspiration for poets and musicians for centuries.
Ewa, would you like to join Lilyy? Look at comment above…
Aleksey: You’re welcome =)
Hyung-ki: Tsts… of course I missed you! I still miss you! We all were happy that Aleksey came to Lucerne, and everybody asked if you would come too. But you didn’t come =( And so we started to cry… and we are still crying… but we stopped crying when Aleksey played on his Violine… ooooh… fabulous!
Aleksey… Show me a way to play balkan style! or … I should better ask you Richard! Is there any chance to play balkan style on the piano?????? I guess no… that’s the reason why I started to play Violine today… but… uhm… I know how to scratch =) sounds good!
ok girl, you seem quite confused and pretty nuts. we like that very much and want to honor that with the grand igudesman & joo price: a round of stepdancing naked in the rain at midnight on february the 31st in Glasgow. see you there!
Great!
There’s a white one in our village! Some pink carrots will help to change the color…I’m going to capture it!
by the way… aleksey, “intaktes für alle” in lucerne was phemomenal!
aleksey: thank you!
Hyung-ki: so you didnt miss me?
You’ve already a Iguana! Yes, we have Iguanas in our mountains but they’re frozen… so… I’ll try to find a third cow… or what about a zebra?
We want a pink zebra without stripes. Then we come.
Hallo ihr beiden. Noch mals Gratulation zur großartigen Performance beim Friedenspreis des Deutschen Films. Mittlerweile habe ich mir eure DVD bestellt. Wäre es möglich, euch das Booklet zu schicken um es signieren zu lassen?
Viele Grüße,
Michael Strache
PS: Danke auch für das gemeinsame Bild im am späten Abend im Bayrischen Hof.
hi! wir signieren gerne wenn ihr mal ins konzert kommt und online auf dieser homepage kann mann auch signierte DVDs bestellen.
war nett euch kennenzulernen und es freut uns das euch die performance gefallen hat!
liebe grüsse.
You’re amazing!Every time I watch it I laugh so hard!Well done!
And now I found out that you’re coming to my city:)Last year I wanted to come to Valencia but my studies didn’t allow to go so far but now you’re coming to the small town where I’m living!(if you are still coming to Marbella..)I’m really so happy. My family also loves your music
with best wishes!
pues gracias, we are really looking forward to it — we want to overdose on jamon de pata negra and ribera del duero!
se posso verrò volentieri a sentirti Jgudesman.…… 2 fratelli musicisti.… la gioia dei vicini di casa ahhahaah. Ma se tu e Joo suonate insieme in Italia in autunno spero sia una città del centro Italia.
PS ma sono l’unica italiana che vi scrive?
suniamo en centro Italia, questo e securo el prossimo anno, e possiblemente aunque primo!
bacio
The only words that I can use for describe you is.…GENIUS. You are the best, please come to Argentina, it’s a very nice place full of fans!!!
how we say in argentina “SON GROSOS, LOS RE-BANCO”
pues argentina es uno de nuestros paises preferidos, seguramente. we would love to play there… perhpas one day? monday?
Hi guys!
you 2 are amazing! just great!
you really should come to switzerland. If you wish we will beat you(look at the top of this list 2010-06-25 09:47) but my idea was to welcome you with a lot of cheese,chocolate, 2 cows… and some bottles of good tessin wine…
I think the cheese, chocolate and bottles of tessin wine would be fine, but 2 cows? Can you make it 3? Or 2 cows and an Iguana?
Gee, this message board is endless. Well, It’d be great if you did some performances in Modesto, CA. There’s lots of Classical music enthusiasts and young musicians here.
This message board is not endless… it ends here. And then it starts again! Thats the beauty of life. And of this message board. Are you with us on that one? Have we lost you? Too intelectual? Well, we can make some fart jokes to make up for it: Prrrrpfffrtprrrk!
We are not quite sure what that means, but dont let that disturb you.
You two are so unbelievably (I’m almost writing fucking) brilliant, as musicians, instrumentalists and comedians. I’m so glad to have “discovered” you. Please go on being brilliant!!
Thank you very much for your compliments, we really appreciate that!
And we are glad you didnt write “fucking”, because we would have had to censor that.
Ich wünschte ich könnte Joo’s gesicht sehen während du versuchst ihm meine letzte Phrase zu erklären.
PS: Ooops, hab vorher den falschen Button benutzt >.>
You are a strange man. We like that.
Was damit ist? Eine Frage wartet dort auf seine Antwort welche nicht zu erscheinen scheint und die Frage daher traurig und seufzend sich in eine dunkle Ecke setzt, abgeschottet von der Zivilisation und der Gesellschaft. Ein verlorenes Stück Intellekt… UND IHR 2 SEID SCHULD, also schämt euch und verbringt den Rest eures Lebens ebenfalls in einer dunklen Ecke um dem Untergang der Frage gerecht zu werden.
Ich wünschte ich könnte Joo’s gesicht sehen während du versuchst ihm meine letzte Phrase zu erklären.
Hi!
I just wanted to say that your music and performances are excellent!! You must know that in the Barcelona’s conservatory you are famous! I’ve seen that you are coming in Malaga, and I invite you to come one day in Barcelona. I’m sure that you will be very wellcome. See you!
We absolutely love Barcelona! Esperamos que vamos a tocar alli un dia…
Hey guys…
I’m kind of dissapointed. You’ll visit every neighbouring country this year but not us
(Slovenia). Hope you get a chance though.
Till then I’ll watch your Dvd that i just ordered.
We will come there too, dont worry!
From the first time I saw you guys on youtube I found you 2 amazing.
Please come to belgium.
We have played there a lot as part of Night od the Proms but will surely return.
Yes, this is really amazing, Aleksey speaks Chinese… and Hyung-ki is the Korean
Confusing, right?
HI, I’m Grace.
From the first time I’ve seen you guys on youtube, I love it so much! So, I showed the video to my friends and they really enjoyed your music.
Please come to Jakarta. My friends and I are waiting!
Wow Jakarta. We would love to go there, but we should play in Indonesia first…;)
Every time when I’m so stressed with practicing for competitions I watch your videos because it reminds me the purpose of music which is to enjoy.
Thank you.
Come to Manhattan one day please.
Oh we love Manhattan. But Actually our favourite is Mojito, can we come there?
Hyung-ki,you learned Russian?
Hyung-ki learned fluent Russian and Aleksey now speaks Chinese. Amazing, right?
good your Italian. Thank you : perchè rispondete sempre.
Farò il possibile per venire a vederti Igudesman il 30 luglio. Sono incuriosita, ma so che sei fantastico!.….….sorry, but I don’t have understood if on 30 luglio you will play with joo too.

Porfa grandes Igudesman y Joo vengan a México, es un gran pais muy hermoso, con gente muy calida, si vienen les aseguro que cualquier concierto que hagan tendra cupo lleno.
Y si vienen les esperaran some enchiladas and margaritas on me,

en serio, possiblemente en enero prossimo ano…
Non parlo inglese, mi dispiace.
Ho letto (30 maggio) messaggio a cristina, che forse venite questo inverno in italia e “do some teaching”.….ok mio inglese è pessimo ma davvero venite? Ditemi di più, per favoreeeeeee
cara lara, (me piace como suono questo)
en poco tempo dico qundo che un concerto en italia.

I absolutely love you guys.
Please, do a show in Singapore? (:
Ah you see, that exactly what we would love to do… but where and when? Will you pay our first class cabins with Singapore Airlines? Then we will be there tomorrow!
Hello, Igudesman and Joo. I am 14 and have played the violin for 3 years. Please come to the Gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto, CA. It’s very big.
Hello Tanaeya. We are 73 years old (counted together and we play violin and piano for 58 years (seperately). We would love to come to gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto, CA. Even if it would be very small.
I would like that they were coming to valladolid in Spain. I am charmed with it yours topics.
We should be in Spain in November, so watch out!!!
Please come to Toronto, Canada!
You brighten people’s lives, and lifts up their spirits with what you do.…This is priceless.
Blessings!
We hope to come to Canada a lot more in the future, and thanks for the compliments… or were they complimentary? (ok, we know we wont get very far with jokes like that.)
Come to France please!! the wine is good !
bravo pour ce que vous faites!
We want Château Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse de Lalande 1985, then we will come!
Hey again!
Its very bad that, because i only know about the show,because i want to show some videos of yours to some people, if that doesn’t happen, i wouldnt know about the show because there is no publicity. Well, you’re not Metallica or U2, to have a show in a stadium.
actually we did a lot of shows in stadiums too but we are not Metallica or U2. But we ARE Aerosmith and George Michael on some days…
U r amazing ..U have to come to Greece …
efheristo! we would love to.
Bitte Bitte Bitte kommt nach Hamburg! Wie wäre es mit einem Konzert in der Elbphilharmonie? Natürlich erst wenn sie fertiggestellt ist *räusper*
Können wir nicht kommen und in der unfertigen spielen?
Is there any chance you guys do the concert in US?!
I am a huge fan! 
We will be there often in the future, no worries… keep on checking this homepage, brush your teeth every day and subscribe to our newsletter.
Me alegro de oír eso!
Espero que un día.^-^
Igudesman and Joo라는 이름으로 글을 남기셨는데, Aleksey씨께서 쓴건지 주형기씨께서 쓴건지 궁금하네요:)
ps.
El español es difícil. ^^*
We know JUST what you mean!
There’s any chance you’re planning a performance in Israel?
We have performed there and loved it and would love to return some time!
hurra hurra!!!!!!!! freu mich schon auf die russischen Nächte in lunz, hurra!!!!!
Wir uns auch, hurraaaaaa!!!!
I have always loved music. Since i was a baby I used to hum or sing along to all types of music, I can only imagine how annoying that must of been for my parents. Lately, I have been thinking about finally getting piano lessons, but a few weeks ago I saw a beautiful violin performance with a piano accompanist. There began my interest in the violin. So, stuck between which lesson I should go for, I did some youtubing and found you guys by coincidence! Your comedy and skill amazed me, both equally brilliant in your own ways. I became more stuck than before! Thanks for that.
. After thinking it over more, I think i will give both a go^^ Anyway, please come to Australia, I’ll definitely be there 
!
But is piano and violin enough? Why not adding some more holistic instruments, like the electric barock oboe, or the bazooka? Hope to see you in Australia some time…
Hi, Many thanks to coming in Portugal! But there is one problem! You could stay for one more concert in portugal, because there are no tickets for the scheduled one! I haven’t ticket, and i have a lot of friends that want to see you, but have the same problem as me.
We are sorry about that — the best is to book tickets soon when the shows are announced… hope it works out next time!
GUYS! All of us girls (bri, Allison, Courtney, and me (Rach) were together this past weekend… we thought of you, observed a moment of silence, and then proceeded to have a night of fun (with a Dr. Pepper nightcap)
Hope all is well– coming to the States soon?
Rachael (for everyone…)
We want to party with you again!!!!!! soon, we hope…
Hello? Aleksey Igudesman & Richard Hyung-ki Joo! : D
I accidentally saw your video of the concert. It was so much fun. >_<
Came to Korea last year, they were going to come forward when the next? I hope to show good performances anywhere. Shalom ^ — ^
Hello back? Kim Hannah!
We accidently played some concerts recently. It was fun too.
We were going to come forward when in Korea next year we is think. We hope to show good performances anywehere too. Asta la Vista.
Philippines!!! Please!!
Okay, what time and when?
You are so amazing! To be honest, I am a bit clueless about classical music coz I wasn’t exposed to it much, growing up, but after coming across your clips online, you guys stirred up my interest. You are doing a great job if your goal is to make your kind of music be appreciated by a wider audience. I really wish I could watch you perform. Come to Australia, please?
well actually, our goal is to eat as much crispy aronatic duck as possible, but getting classical music appreciated it pretty good too. it would be wonderful to return to australia — lets hope someone books us!
Watched ur show on 3sat when I was in luzern on vacation. Absolutely fab…wot luck! Unfortunately cd not be there for the concert
. I live near San Francisco in the united states of America. When are u planning a trip here???
we will be in the U.S. more often in the next years than you in Luzern, that much is pretty much for sure!
I am in USA, in a small town of the middle of nowhere in US, so if you guys could come to US, i still cant make it to be in you guys’s show… I am addicted into you guys’s show video clips. They are awesome.
I laughed hardly when you sang I will survive in Russian accent, we got physic professors Russian so… Because I did not know the song, I thought the song was originally from Russia also lol.
well, we might just play near you one day, so dont dispair, wash your hair, szart to prepair for the little nightmare. music. ahem.
Nein, ich kenne leider keine mit dem Nachnamen “cello”, aber die Kombination der von Violine-Cello ist auch interessant. Meine Mutter wollte mich früher auch dazu überreden lieber Bratsche zu lernen, aber ich habe meinen Willen durchgesetzt
Gab es bei euch einen bestimmten Grund warum ihr ausgerechnet Klavier bzw Geige spielen wolltet? Oder fandet ihr einfach nur den Klang beider Instrumente so schön?
Dann bin ich ja beruhigt, dass die Geige nicht zu Schaden gekommen ist
Freue mich schon darauf, wenn ihr in Deutschland seid!
Liebe Grüße,
Viola
We started to play the violin and the piano, because we like words that beging with the letters p, v, x and z. Our twin brothers play the xylophone and the zither.
see you soon in Germany, we hope!
Hallo,
ich habe die Sendung auch im TV gesehen. Einer von euch hat mal geschrieben, dass die beiden auch nach Deutschland kommen würden. Kann mir einer vielleicht sagen wann das wäre. Das wäre echt toll. Danke
We will be in Germany many times — best to either keep on checking our tourdates, subscribe to our newsletter or stand on the street in Frankfurt shouting our names.
I do play the bass trombone, didn’t you get that from the word flautist? I also play ukulele,bansuri,bazooka and the didgeridoo.
Nanor
did you know that Tom Cruise plays the Didgeridoo? Her learned it from his ex-wife Nicole Kidman who comes from a long line of Didgeridoo players.
Huhu,
).
hier ist noch ein weiterer Fan aus Deutschland:D
Bin (auch) er durch die Sendung auf 3sat auf euch aufmerksam geworden und war von der 1. Sekunde an begeistert! Ich spiele selbst Geige und ich war allerdings etwas erschrocken, als ich gesehen habe, wie du mit der einen Geige unter der Dusche standest (ich hoffe, es war nicht die, mit der du sonst auch spielst,oder?!
Es macht auf jeden Fall Spaß euch zuzusehen/zuzuhören!
Liebe Grüße!
you play the violin and your name is viola? hmm, there is something a little strange there. we know a violinist whos last name is “cello. is she releated to you?
concerning aleksey’s violin in the shower — dont worry about that, that is NOT an Anotnio Stradivari. Its by his brother Kevin Stradivarious, who also used to repair bycicles.
Bis bald einmal im Konzert!
Hello
I love the fact that you combine the two things i cherish the most in life… Music and humor…
Way to go guys…if you need a flautist to guest-appear at your show, let me know
Nanor
Thanks for you offer, we always wanted a flautist to guest-appear — tell us, do you play the bass-trombone? We love the sound of a flautists playing the bass-trombone, even more than the authentic pure sound of the electric barock oboe!
你們好像很有語言天才，不管 your fans 留什麼語言，你們都看得懂哦。那我就來留個中文的留言（我來自台灣）。請問 Joo幾歳，他結婚了嗎？ 有女朋友嗎？I was introduced to your show by a 9-year-old girl. I guess that means your music speak to anyone from 2 to 102 ( I am not 102 yrs old. It was a figure speech.….) You guys crack me up. This message board is HILARIOUS (the answers from you two)!!
Actually, we both like to sit of ourselves as 9 year old girls, so thats why they relate to us, I guess… on the other hand we do look a little more like we are 102, so you are right, we are like every single person in the whole world!
Hallo ihr zwei
es ist schon unglaublich unterhaltsam, eure kommentare auf dieser seite zu lesen… wie muss dann erst ein echtes Konzert sein!
Ich liebe euren Humor:D
Naja, ein echtes Konzert ist dann echt langweilig, weil wir traurig in der Ecke des Konzertsaals sitzen und leise Brahms Requiem hummen…oder vielleicht auch nicht.
I love what you do!
It reminds me of my studying music, when we didn’t wanna practice, we used to modify the pieces and improvised a jazz-Beethoven-Sonata for example, just for fun. My fellow student was particularly good at it. That always reminded me of enjoying music and not being too serious about it.
.…actually that was the best part of my studies
THX for bringing that back to my mind!
Great job!
What are you talking about “improvising” jazz Beethoven Sonatas? Beethoven Sontatas ARE Jazz. List here from 0:52:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKSfqBjenvo
Or here from a symphonic jazz work of his (from minute 7:20):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZwgLrVEw84
anyway, thanks for the compliments!
Hello guys! I just loved your performance in Vilnius, Lithuania, when you came to help Roger Moore with his UNICEF project. I can’t wait for you to come again, can i expect that?
We will return some time for sure! We love being in Vilnius and UNICEF is a very important cause for us.
I was just put you both aware of Brazilian classical music, but apparently did not work!
PS:
too bad!
We are both big fans of Brazial classical music and big admirers of Villa-Lobos, so it works, it works!
Ihr macht wundervolle Musik — vielen Dank dafür, da bekomme ich Lust, selber wieder ein bisschen Bratsche zu spielen.
Ich hoffe, dass ihr bald einmal in Deutschland in der Nähe von Heidelberg auftretet.
Falls ihr euch demnächst mal auf youtube umschaut, möchte ich euch iwillbot nahe legen (http://www.youtube.com/user/Iwillbot) — er spielt sehr schön Klavier und macht auch ein bisschen musikalische “Comedy”.
Liebe Grüße aus Heidelberg!
Ja, Bratsche spielen ist schön!!! Danke für den link…
Ребята! Вы лучшие!!!

hallo jungs!
seit gestern habt ihr sicherlich eine menge mehr fans in deutschland; ich zähle dazu, konnte mich kaum noch halten vor begeisterung, einfach fantastisch. ich lebe nahe hamburg und freue mich jetzt schon euch live in deutschland zu sehen.
liebe grüsse auch an 007!
Danke und wir werden Roger von dir Grüssen!
so, der Tipp auf 3sat, war eine super Idee, ich bin sogar mehrmals lachend vom Sofa gefallen:D…ich kanns kaum ncoh erwarten, Euch einmal live zu sehen, aber eine Frage noch, woher könnt Ihr so gut Deutsch sprechen (und schreiben)??
Ihr seid einefach die Besten;)
Liebe Grüße
Wir sind als Kinder in einen Deutschen Kochtopf gefallen und seit dem dieser Sprache mächtig.
Ihr spielt bald öfter in Deutschland? *hüpf* *spring* Juchhuuuuu! Habe vor ein paar Tagen gerade erst von Euch gehört und will Euch sehen! Jetzt! Sofort! Gleich! Auf der Stelle! In Düsseldorf, Köln, Hamburg, Berlin.…
Weitermachen!
klar doch!
Any chance to see you in Dublin soon ?!
I would love to bring my music class to one of your concert.
Good luck for the tour anyway !! Hope you are ahvg fun !
Dublin would be nice… maybe sometime.… ok, thats not very clear, but thats all we can say for the moment.
hallo hyung-ki und aleksey,
seit etwas mehr als 1 stunde habt ihr einen weiteren fan !
bis heute abend habe ich keinen schimmer gehabt wer ihr seid
und mit euren namen noch nichts anzufangen gewusst.
aber jetzt muss ich bei einem eurer konzerte in hannover oder
in der umgebung unbedingt dabei sein. genau diese art von humor
und euer spezieller umgamg mit der musik hat mich vorhin bei dem
film auf 3sat von der ersten minute an in den bann gezogen
und es gibt nur sehr wenige musiker — oder auch menschen
ueberhaupt — denen das bis jetzt gelungen ist. wer mich einmal
’gepackt’ hat, von dem komm ich auch so schnell nicht wieder los.
ich hoffe, noch sehr viel und bald von euch zu sehen und auf die
ohren zu bekommen.
das erste kennenlernen hat mir zuminderst schon mal sehr
grossen spass bereitet.
viele liebe gruesse aus deutschland
anja aus hannover
wow, das ist ja nett. wir spielen in eurer gegend in Oldenburg am 9. januar, näheres drüber bald auf der homepage… bis dann!
Hallo!
Ich habe gerade den Film über Euch und Euer Programm gesehen. Ich bin begeistert und möchte Euch unbedingt live sehen!
Wann kommt ihr nach Deutschland? Bitte kommt dann auch nach Stuttgart, die Schwaben sind sehr nette Leute!
Liebe Grüße
Julia
wir werden wieder oft in deutschland spielen… näheres kommt bald!
Hi Aleksey and Joo,
well, I am Chinese, so be careful Joo! I love your performance … and would like to ask you whether are u visiting Berlin in the near future! Looking looking at u!
Bye
Xing
berlin will come…
your 2 chinese friends!
Ihr seid vielleicht Typen! Hab grad den Film über euch auf 3sat gesehen und mich herzlich bepisst. Wenn man es nicht schon hat bekommt man dabei Lust auf Musik. Wird es den Film einmal auf DVD geben? Würde mich freuen.
Beste Grüße & weiter so!!
Axel
wir haoffen das der film auf dvd rauskommt — wir arbeiten dran!
Ich habe gerade eure show auf 3Sat gesehen! Jetz will ich euch um so mehr live sehen!
jaja, dann komm mal zum konzert!
Please, come to Vojvodina, i would really want to see you two in Vojvodina performing!
we would love to
When you guys will come to the United States? I loved your performance, add a few videos already on my facebook and I am also sharing with my friends in Brazil. You should come here and in South America as well. You’re AWESOME! After you, I feel that classical music is made for everyone! Thank’s!
PS:Have you heard of Bachianas?
Bachianas brasileiras is a series of nine compositions by Heitor Villa-Lobos, written between 1930 and 1945. In this set, written to various formations, Villa-Lobos blew Brazilian folkloric material (especially country music) to pre-classical forms in the style of Bach, intending to build a Brazilian version of the Brandenburg Concertos. This homage to Bach was also made by contemporary composers like Stravinsky. All movement of Bachianas even received two titles: one Bachian, another Brazilian.
Are excerpts from the famous Bachianas Toccata (The Little Train of the Caipira), fourth movement of No. 2; the Aria (Cantilena), which opens in paragraph 5, the Coral (The Song of the Wild) and Dance (Miudinho), both in paragraph 4.
this must have been the longest of PS a comment … heheh
Yes, this IS the longest PS ever.
We will write the shortst.
bye
P.S.
a
Tengo unas ganas locas de que algún dia Igudesman & Joo vengais a valencia, aqui al palau de la musica. La gente os adoraria. La idea de mezclar musica clasica con humor es la mejor idea desde que inventaron la luz azul que mata insectos voladores, sois los mejores.
estubimos en valencia el ultimo ano, pero estoy seguro que vamos a regresar…
please come to play to madrid!!! you are absolutly fantastic!! people in Spain will love your show!!
we love madrid, its one of our favorite cities in Canada! no, seriously we will be there one day…
This truly is the best performance I have seen. The only thing I would love more is to watch this live! Please do tour Asia (Taiwan?) as I know there are countless fans here all wanting to hear you guys. Once again, THANK YOU for your dedication to all your performances as it has been quality music with an added bonus of humor. THANK YOU! Can’t stop listening to you guys!
We hope to return to Taiwan next year…subscribe to our newsletter and you will be updated when.
this will sound rare but i don’t understand what is it happening with facebook, could you explain it me here?
Facebook is eating up you brain!!! In a good way… Thats whats happening with it.
My Dear!! You are the best! Seriously.. i wonder if you would ever come to LATAM, specially to Peru, where i’m living now (besides, im ukranian)… carry on with your job, it’s terrific!…
btw, if u let me ask, are you married? (no, i don’t mean you two, i mean each of you with someone else ) =)
Peru would be nice! Well, Joo is married to 17 corcodiles (female crocodiles!) and Igudesman is planning to get divorced BEFORE he gets married, one day, but hasnt found the right woman to get divorced with yet…
I found you on Youtube by accident.
I thought Victor Borge was the last of his kind.
Thank you for proving me wrong…
He is Joos great-grand uncle in law and Igudesmans nephews stepsons sisters friend of his former cleaning woman.
sorry, do not know what the hell was that last of: Aleksey Greetings and Hyung-ki and make me send you
I meant:regards. Aleksey & Hyung-ki you rules! and make me laugh a lot. tank you
bueno, muchas gracias juan. espero que vamos a tocar en mexico dentro poco…
I think they are excellent musicians and do not speak English, so I use google translator … XD
As if you catch one of the Essences of the music … the funs. in particular is one that most appeals to me ..
so I congratulate them and invite them to come to Mexico … although we have a miserable 2% ¬ ¬ jajaja why I will vote daily, so beat the Europeans. Aleksey Greetings and Hyung-ki and make me send you
vote juan, vote. and your english is having better than you is thinking!
Dont’ waste your time in answering me, but please read me: You are great.. in music, first of all, and in joking too! For theese reasons I think and hope you feel the “duty” to disclose and “teach” your genius to young people all over Europe, perhaps organizing an opportunity to join creative skills concerneing music.. something like a summer school… Since then, thank you for everything you are doing and dont ever stop!
we do like doing that and have done things in the past. we might do some teaching in winter in Italy again… stay tuned!
Qund’é che verrete in Danimarca? :O)
To be or not to be. Right?
Hello!!
I’m wondering when you will come to Germany again. The last time you were here, i didn’t even know that you had a tour through Germany! I’m looking forward to sse you guys live

you are unbelivible…i can’t belive how you play a violin and piano…really you are the best,i want to say a lot of things to you but i don’t know english,all what i write is with dictionary…
you could to play a pachelbel canon,it is one of the beautifulls songs…sorry for grammar…greetings from serbia…
thanks a lot Slavko. we hope to be in Serbia this winter — subscribe to our newsletter and you will find out!
You are awesome
when do you come to Belgium? I’ve seen you on youtube but I’d like to come see you live on stage!
From now on we reply together, since we have been joined but the ancle by a surgeon.
Anyway, we played in Belgium A LOT as part of Night of the Proms a year and a half ago, but would love to come back. Lets see what life brings for us!
Hallo, ich bins wieder!
Ich wollte nur einmal fragen ob ihr am kommenden “Wiener Film Festival” auch persönlich teilnehmt, da diese ja lediglich DVD-Vorführungen präsentieren.
Es könnte durchaus sein das wir anwesend sind, aber live spielen werden wir nicht
Hallo,
gibt es das Programm mit Gidon Kremer und Kremerat Baltica auch auf DVD zu kaufen? Wäre super!
nein, momentan noch nicht — vielleicht eines tages…
Try the Philippines man. You guys will reach the news here overnight.
Haha, now we are writing together and noone can know who is who!!! Hahaha (Aleksey) Harharhar (Hyung-ki)
Anyway, WE would love to come to the Phillippines…will you fly us there?
Hey Guys, you really Rock! Pretty please come to the land down under and tour Australia .… i have only seen you guys play online and would be soooo very grateful if you toured in Oz.
P.S. YOU GUYS ROCK!
ah, we would love to return!
Hello. I think you guys are awesome Musicians and I was wondering if you guys had any tips for an aspiring Musician? If possible I want to know what types of things I should do that could help me to become noticed in the realm of music. I am an Advanced Piano player, I am also a Violinist and Guitarist, and I compose my own music.
Here is a link to one of my scores if you would like to listen to it and possibly critique it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Tjt_FPL-s
I was also wondering if you guys are ever going to perform in California?
You guys are awesome and thanks = )
i dont have access to youtube at the moment, but yes, YouTube is a great way to get noticed these days.
also facebook, myspace and all the other things.
but the biggest advise is not to get too stuck in those things either — the main thing is to write and play great music and to always keep developing, improving and being inspired by others… keep it up!
I love you guys! Please come to Florida! You are hilarious! I will be your groupie!
groupie, yes we want!
I love the evil twin very very very very well
he evil, he twin, he my sister!
Приезжайте в Москву, пожалуйста!!!
Очень хочется попасть на Ваш концерт.
Вы неподражаемы)
v novembare mi naverna budem v peterje — priizhai!
Hi! Welcome to Russia!
You made greate show!
Впрочем, приеду к Вам на концерт в Италию!
Спасибо. Thank’s.
see you in Italy then!
hola aleksey,
sogar sehr “nördlich”^^ aber ich denke 250 km zu fahren lohnt es sich auf jeden fall, oder?! 
ich habe euch erst gestern zufällig bei “you tube” entdeckt und… es war liebe auf den ersten blick! 
so… dann bis januar in oldenburg und weiterhin vieeeeel spaß beim musizieren…:)
da hast du recht, oldenburg ist nicht gerade “mittig”
lg aus Deutschland ( so jetzt richtig geschrieben^^)
hola alejandra!
hasta oldenburg!
Thanks for coming to Portugal
its our pleasure.
Danke! Ihr seit die Inspiration für die Musikauffassung der heutigen Zeit. Der zu sehr strenge und dazu falsch geglaubte Begriff der “Ernsten”-Musik wird durch Euch aufgelockert, somit wird die Musik allen zugänglich gemacht, und die Angst vor der Schwere der Musik wird entnommen. Zugleich wird das Schöne der Musik durch Eure Konzerte verkörpert.
Die Musikhochschulen sollten Euch buchen, denn jeder Student, mich eingeschlossen, braucht für sein Instrumentalstudium ein bisschen igudesman&joo!
Gruß
Hört, hört. Danke für die netten Komplimente und bis bald in Deutschland, hoffe ich!
You are super. I will surely go to Budapest becouse of you. When I was depressed I found the song “I will survive” performed by you. First I tought it is a joke but I realised Igudesman with the violin is more then perfect. And the Piano lesson. Just look at the teacher’s face, when the student is late.
You are great guys, I will be there I promise! 
Well, my piano playing has improved greatly thanks to professor Joo’s wise and kind teaching. Looking forward to performing for you in Hungary!
hallo ihr beide!:)
wie wäre es mit göttingen, hannover oder kassel?! na ja, so viele menschen wollen euch überall sehen und es bestimmt nicht möglich alle glücklich zu machen, oder?! ^^
ganz liebe grüße aus deurschland :*
ich kann mich nur alle anderen kommentaren anschließen! ihr seid einfach genial!!! wenn ihr ab januar in deutschland seid, so hoffe ich, dass die konzerte sich nicht nur auf dem süden und norden konzentrieren, alle wollen nach münchen oder hamburg, dabei ist ist in der mitte doch soooo schön!
ok, ich wünsche euch weiterhin viel erfolg + gesundheit + segen!!! es ist toll, was ihr macht
Danke, danke.… Ist halt nicht so “mittig”, aber im Januar schaut es ziemlich gut für Oldenburg aus!
When are you coming to Boston, Massachusetts!? My husband and I are musicians as well and love you both and wouldn’t it be fun to “pahk the cah at hahvard yahd”
We’ll take you out for “lobstah” while you’re here as well!
Fabulous playing!!
I want lobster!
Hi Aleksey and Hyung-ki
just to say i absolutely love u guys and i have seen yr youtube videos over and over again and i still cry laughing everytime
please please come to England!!!
x
we will, as soon as they book us there
I love the evil twin! XD
EVIL! Nice. EVIL! nice.
Which musics did you use in the routine “Horror Movie”?
The music for Horror Movie is by some guy called Aleksey Igudesman pretending to be Aleksey Igudesman. A bit like the whole Shakespeare writing Shakepeare thing– or not. Actualy, it does sound a bit like music from a Horror Movie. Perhaps, that’s why it’s called Horror Movie. I guess we ought to ask the composer himself. Or is it a ghost? I see dead people. Erie and Eerie.
I really hope oneday both of you will be showing up in prague Spring or Prague Prom. That would so cooool!
BTW, how can manage to reply all these msg since you have so much work to do? I really wonder. And you also have to practise, no?
Well, how do you know its us replying? It could be someone else with exactly the same humour! Anyway, this is really me. Or is it? You will never know will you? Unless I tell you. And its me. But Hyung-ki’s answers are written by someone with the same name. His evil twin duplicate selve. Or something.
Anyway, for what its worth, you might be happy to hear that we might indeed be coming to Prague in Septmeber. But I can not tell you where yet since its top secret. keep on checking our homepage or best subscribe to our newsletter and all will be revealed!
And France, particularly in the south ? Should it not be beautiful and very nice ? Come see us !
VL
we will be there too, just hold your horses (or sheep or whatever you grow there…)
Although I’ve never seen a live performance, I have been watching YouTube videos of Igudesman and Joo for a long time. AMAZING! I have never laughed so hard while appreciating music before! Thank you for bringing this to the world, several of my friends who would never otherwise listen to classical music are getting a taste of it and really enjoying your performances!
Thats great news, thanks for the compliments!
Watched yoyr show again and again on youtube and will be buying the DVD. Anyway I wanted to say how funny and interesting your show is, please come and perform in Paris, France and make a DVD from your show with Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata! Perhaps should you be making a sheet music for the Mozart Bond routine, and keep up your tremendous work!
we are working on sheet music and we will most deffinately come to paris some time…

Please come back to Australia! Your videos have being circulating the major music institutions in Sydney incessantly and just about anyone who hasn’t seen your concerts live would love to attend. Please come back to inspire us with another tea party!
Just out of curiosity — where did your inspiration to start performing as a duo come from Hyung-ki and Aleksey?
we get our inspiration mostly from moluscs, monty python, mozart and other people with m for music… see one day down under, i hope!

Thanks Igudesman&Joo
De nada!
Da mein Englisch recht schwach ist eine kleine Nachricht in Deutsch: Ihr seid wirklich unheimlich wundervoll. Eure Musik, eure Komödie und die Harmonie die beides so fest zusammen schweißt ergibt das Beste was ich je sehen durfte. Ich finde es super das ihr euch Zeit nehmt so endlos viele Kommentare durchzulesen und zu beantworten, sowohl hier als auch sonst wo (Youtube, etc.). Sofern ich richtig gelesen habe seid ihr bald wieder in Wien worauf ich mich sehr freue. You guys are fantastic, keep entertaining us! Best wishes from Vienna!
Danke für die nette Nachricht! Naja, ohne die Leute wie dich, die Kommentare schreiben hätten wir nicht die Möglichkeiten schöne Autritte zu haben. Ausserdem finde ich es echt nett mit euch allen Kontakt zu haben! Wir sind in July ein paar Stunden von Wien entfernt in Lunz am See — in Wien selbst dauert es noch ein bischen, aber dann werden wir öfter dort sein!
Please come to Germany!!! I will see you live!!
i hope that one day you and iguesman come to zaragoza spain here there is a auditoryt that his name is mozart room is not very big but the suond is incredible that is my opinion thanks and hyumg ki, dont will become a hulk.
Quieremos muchissimo regresar a Espana! Espero que lo acemos dentro poco.
I’m much interested in your music! I hope you guys can show up in Singapore soon! (hopefully before I enter National Service.) I Love especially the Rachmaninoff had Big Hands video! hopefully you can showcase that with some other of your great works!

Hi there! I came to see “The Cyberconductor” in Grafenegg last week (if you want some advice — never try to go Grafenegg by train!!! Never. Ever.)and it was absolutely great and funny and even better than I had expected it to be (and my expectations were high to begin with)! But I have one burning question: what is the title of the song that the nice, violin-playing conductor sings at the end of the introduction? Did you invent that or is it “traditionelles Wiener Liedgut”? And is there any way I can get the lyrics? (I only remember something about a “Geigerl” and not having to be afraid as long as you can play the violin, but I might have misconstrued that part!)
Actually its a song by Sebastian Gürtler called “Hergott & die Geig’n” — you can watch a very rendition of it online here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nOYv0uHbBk
Nice you came to the concert

PLEASE COME TO WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND!!!!
I PROMISE IT’LL BE THE NICEST COUNTRY YOU’VE EVER BEEN TO!!!
(LORD OF THE RINGS, CHRONICLES OF NARNIA AND AVATAR WERE FILMED THERE)
I’ve been to Wellington before. I took my Wellingtons there and had a Beef Wellington.
It was back in 2006, and I was playing recitals with the violinist Julian Rachlin in Auckland and Wellington.
Julian, Aleksey, and I once interviewed people on the streets asking them “How do you take your sock off?” We videoed these interviews, and one day sat down to watch them, only to find an hour and half tape of Aleksey shaving off his beard.…
So sad to see the result where should you play … cuz I live in VietNam in Asia and I love your style playing classico music so much .
I wish one day you will come to Ho Chi Minh city in Viet Nam .
we heard very nice things about your country from our dear friend julain rachlin! maybe we will come one day…
Hey Hey,
wie wäre es, wenn ihr mal nach Deutschland kommen würdet?!
Ihr seid einfach fantastisch, ihr müsst einfach kommen, sowas darf unsere Nation nicht verpassen;)
Am schönsten wäre es, wenn ihr nach Bielefeld kommen würdet;)
Liebe Grüße
Yoshi
wir haben schon recht viel in deutschland gespielt — ab januar nächstes jahr gehts dann los…
schau aber am 5. juni am abend 3sat — da wird eine neue doku (eine sehr lustige, wenn ich sagen darf) über uns gezeigt…

Hi,guys! You’re amazing! We adore you so much!!! Can you please come to Norway and play in Oslo. We will wait =)
best regards from cold Scandinavia
we have never played there yet and would love to play in Oslo!
I absolutely adore you guys. Your work is incredible, both in skill and humor. I know that everyone else is begging you to go to their countries too, so saying this doesn’t mean much, but please, please, please come to the east coast of USA.
Preferably southeast.
Ideally Florida.
In my wildest Utopian dreams, Orlando.
(But just eastern USA is fine.)
It’s okay if you can’t, but if you could, it would rock my world!
Beijing would love to see you!
Wow! You guys are so great! Please yall need to come to the United States!!! We would love to have you. And i’d definitely love to see the show… I live in South Carolina but I would def fly somewhere here to see you guys!
I can’t believe you guys were actually in Kelowna… that’s not too far. I really would love to see your act! I remember you doing this crazy laughing song in Banff… it was sooo funny. One year a friend of mine and i went skiing over the New Year, and I actually got to play GB of Fire with a live band at the party. That’s as good as it gets
I also remember you playing Alborada del G and Haydn sonata in class. I mean, you made us all laugh, but you’re also a great pianist and musician. Wish you guys all the success.
you’re just fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come to México you are Wonderfull!!! and very very funny!!!

Por isso me Desculpem. rs
Mas quero dizer que adoro o trabalho de vocês, sou guitarrista e ja toquei sax e trumpet.
E sempre me admiro e me divirto com seus videos…
Parabéns a vocês!!!
Continuem sempre com esse talento
You are it, awesome entertainment. When are you coming to Western Canada. Would love to see you in Calgary.
Marina
We were in West Vancouver, Kelowna, and Duncan last year!
But we would love to come to Calgary! I spent one of the best summers of my life ever in Banff, years ago. Was hanging out with a guy called Henry Mokken, and we must have annoyed the hell out of everybody doing impressions of English Cleaning Ladies alla Monty Python. Henry also did one of the best “Great Balls of Fire” renditions ever. Henry, where are you? I also learnt how to Shuffleboard, tried suicide Atomic Chicken Wings for the 1st time, had deer in my practice room, fell for a girl called Andrea, and took improvisation in acting classes with the brilliant Rhoda Levine.
when you will come to COLOMBIA?.… you have a lot of fans here, in “latinoamerica”… please let us know… !!!
los esperamos… y un hurra por “Solo las manos pequeñas producciones”.…
nos encantaria ir a colombia un dia! es seguramente precioso. lets see maybe we make it there one day…
Oh, of course I hab das gewußt! Just wanted to test you (yes, it’s a Lüge von me) And it’s great, that you can change the Sprache mitten im Satz. Could be, that I ein wenig unausgelastet wirke. But hey, it’s friday!
)
Please, let me wissen, wenn you are in Kiel! And ich wish Euch a schönes weekend
The best weg zu outfinden donde we are spieling ist to pasmatret na homepage or inscribe a nostro newsletter und then vas a saber where wir sono playing! Bilmiyorum wann wir estamos v kiel, but soon, inshallah…
When you’ll be in Portugal… please… take the boat and come to Italy!
We’re waiting for you!!!!!

I am a violinist and my fiance is a pianist/guitarist,and we think you are amazing.When are you coming to london?..[If you ever need an extra violinist in the orchestra let me know]Keep up the good work..“I know you will survive“Gini x
Sounds like you two are quite in demand! As well you should be, you guys are amazing. I’ll be signing up to your newsletter to see when you’re coming to the US. Thank you for all the fun you’ve put into classical music!
Heey,you guys are so funny! I was just wondering when you are coming to Holland? Haha, byee!

They love you !
Hope to se you in dublin soon, we’ll all be here !
Suzon.
violin, violin, violin, choose violin!
Hi,
don’t you ever thought coming to Hungary? You really don’t have to travel so much, it’s next to Austria. Győr would be fine in July:)
we will be in budapest in october, it looks like — as soon as the ticket sales are open, we will announce it!
Hi guys — any chance that you will honour Luxembourg with a visit ? Yes, I DO know that the country is small but just hit the brakes when you cross one of the borders and you should (with a little bit of luck) stay IN the country
Cheers from a Dane living in Luxembourg
Hey guys,
even you are so close, you never visited northern Germany! Ok, since I know you ^^ Ihr habt wohl mal in Süd– und Mitteldeutschland Auftritte gemacht, aber hier in Kiel lechzt es die Leute nach Euch! Ganz bestimmt! ^^
So please think about coming up to here. Would be great.
Bis denne, und have a nice day,
Kai
well, actually we have been to Bremen and Hamburg with Nokia Night of the Proms, have played in 3 different locations around hamburg during the Schleswig Holsten festival, its not quite true that we didnt play in the north of german yet. aber wir würden sehr gerne wiederkommen und machen es sicher!
Dear Aleksey and Huying-Ki, glad I looked at the contact page (thanks for the advice Aleksey!). Spoke to Elizabeth and found out I am really a female version of you (minus the musical talent and a few other things!
)
Can’t wait to interview you and get you going with a concert in Chicago (PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE!)! Let’s do it, gentlemen!
Talk to you soon,
M
a female version of us? thats very scary!
I am having a rhd time reading http://www.giudesmaanndjoo.cmo in IE 8.2, just figured I would let you know!
you are weird. i like it.
HI,
i have lurking around these forums for a while now. I now have my questions to ask and contrubutioons to make.
Yes Michael, so what IS your question and your contrubutioons? Or was that the joke… either way, nice that you are lurking around these forums!
Please come to Jakarta. There’s a fantastic concert hall here, it’s called Aula Simfonia Jakarta, I don’t know if you had heard of it or not. Please-please come.
oh! it’s up there, didn’t see that…
Its okay David, you can leave as many messages as you like! We would love to come to Prague one day… lets hope they book us, right?
oops, when i pressed F5, it seemed that my msg just disappeared. so i guess i have to write you again.…..actually i wrote a long letter to both of you, but my point, the most important thing i wanna say in that looong letter was: Please come to Prague!! Mozart also loved this city and he said “my people of prague understand me”.
is that persuasive enough?
Guys, you go to Austria, but could you spend a day doing a gig in Czech republic? It’s just in the neighborhood of Austria.
I believe Czechs will love your humor.
BTW, I’m from Taiwan and I remember you’ve done a concert in Taiwan, right? Toooooooooo bad I didn’t have the luck to see that, ’cause I was in Prague.
Pls come to Czech, no matter where it is, I’ll go to see you guys. And hopefully with my classmates.
Hey… i just discovered you on line!!!
To tell the truth my favorite violist told me you existed a couple of hours ago and therefore, in the last 62 years, I have been reading your sad biographies and enjoying your music and shows.
Don’t waste your time sharpening forks or cooking scrambled cherries…
Organize one of your next concerts in Rome — Italy!
Thanks… a presto!
Beatrice
We like sharpening cutlery and cherry mush is scrumptious! We’re coming to Rome, probably next March!!! So, you have time to make up for the last 62 years!!!!
Dear Hyung-Ki,
You’re always welcome whether you’re in GREEN or not. ^3^
The sister of Feb
Hello
Its been more than a year that i have been watching your videos on the net and i think both of you are fantasti!!!.…Pls come to India!!!!
Wow India — a special place. I spent 1 whole month in Varanasi and a few days in New Delhi, learning your culture music and how to eat rediculousily spicy food! We would love to visit one day…
by the way, your rendition of Fur Elise is not far off from what I experience every saturday morning at 7:00am. One of my mother’s students ‘pounds’ away at the keys and has entirely converted the rhythm to a MARCH! Thank fully, @ 51 she is not karate kicking him (yet).
Thank you both!
take karate lessons and use them on your mothers pupil — thats my humble suggestion…
Please come to America!!! You made my mother, father, and me laugh all night! The students at my mother’s music school are asking continuously if you will perform in NYC?? Any chances?
we will play in NYC — the date will be announced soon… hope to see you, your dad, your mum and all your mums pupils there!
… just wondering when are you gon’na be performing in Holland. Can you pls. let me know via my email if ever.
More success.

Dear Richard
OK, now I understand you(for the fish and ghoti), I read your two answers, I’m sorry. But you’re fantastic. I admire you two.
There’s actually a few answers from me– they’re just not in green– you see I’m a black and white person, and that’s why I love playing the piano. aaahhhh.
By the way, Spinach is healthy for you.
Hello!
I love your work, is amazing ! You are such a good musicians!
I’m from Portugal and I can’t wait to see you. I hope you can come over here.
Thank you for your music.

http://dn.sapo.pt/inicio/artes/interior.aspx?content_id=1547940&seccao=M%FAsica
dont know where to get tickets yet, but as soon as thats out it will be on our homepage.
Dear Hyung-Ki,
I would like to know.….. What is the question of these answers? @@a
Rubberneck
Well– several possibilities–
For example, it could be: “how many Surrealist Painters does it take to screw in a light bulb?“
Answer– FISH.
How can you spell FISH in a different way?
Answer– GHOTI
What do you call a deer with no eyes?
A no-eye deer (I’ no idea)
A fish with no eyes?
FSH
A dog with no legs?
Nothing, cus it won’t come when you call it anyway.
I LOVE your preformances. They’re beautiful and funny at the same time. This is the reason I play the violin, becasue you can be so inventive with performances. Are you coming to the U.S. any time soon? Maybe near the Arizona area? We dont get alot of big people coming down here.
By the way, I rated all your You Tube performances 5 stars. =)
we hope to return to the U.S. soon — our management is working on it full blast!
Dearest Aleksey–
Here in Wilmington, Delaware, there is a beautiful venue by the name of The Grand Opera House. It is in the heart of the city and a staple of our fine arts culture. I have seen Pirates of Penzance, Don Giovanni (my favorite opera in the world!), Carmen, and several classical performances there throughout my childhood all the way to college and beyond. A suggestion, if you will… would be so fantastic to return to this place for A Little Nightmare Music…
–Deanna
write to them and demand us — maybe they will listen and ask for us
Dear Mauricio,
I am answering.
And the answer is Fish.
Hyung-ki
Dear Mr. Joo.
If you Log in to our online account and press answer, then you will be GREEN (like the Hulk, who I trust you like very much) and then everyone can see that its you!!! yipee.
Don’t make me angry– you won’t like it when I’m angry.
The Hulk
Алексей, пожалуйста, приезжайте выступать в Россию, если проблема в том, что вы (с маленькой буквы, так как я говорю о Вас и Вашем “коллеге”) не уверены в актуальности подобного рода выступлений в этой стране, отбросьте ваши сомнения к чертям, по крайней мере, мои друзья из Казани, Питера, Новосибирска, Москвы и более маленьких городов тоже очень ждут вашего с коллегой(-ами) приезда. И академическая среда обеих столиц тоже интересуется вашими выступлениями. Пожалуйста, ответьте, что вы думаете на этот счёт. Можно на английском, если не хочется писать транслитом.
Hello you wonderful people!
Thank you for one of the best shows of my life.
Will you come back to Sweden (or Scandinavia)?
We LOVE Scandinavia. Well, we’ve been to a few places already in Sweden. (see list above), and we’ve also been to a few places in Scandinavia– like Bergen, Trondheim, Ringsted, Harlev, Sakskobing, Copenhagen, Skanderborg, Nivå, Sysma, Mantaa, Oulu. Never been to Iceland yet though. Hey, Aleksey, how about we take a trip there right now? We can go meet Sigrun Evasdottir, Petra Pettisdottir, Raghnildur Stevansdottir, and Dottir Dottirsdottir.
Aleksei

Are you the guy who play in the riverdance show?
riverdance? whats that?
Hey Igudesman & Joo.
I was wondering, if you are planning to visit Denmark (small country — northern europe) withing the next few years?
I think you 2 rocks! It’s fascinating to watch you develop new possibilities with classical music in a funny way. You earn as much respect as you can get!
Greetings.
well you missed us — we played a whole row of concerts with the copenhagen philharmonic in january! dont worry, we will return.
Wow~! Do you really have plans for China? Even though it is top secret, please let me know if you got any news… I’ll try to spend a few days to go there as much as I could.

Oh My Joo(means God in korean)!
I Love your performances!
especially igudesman’s violin play!

Please come to Rome!!!!
we hope to be in Rome next year — we LOVE the city and have very dear friends there.
Aleksey, thanks for the compliments and words of encouragement! We are recording our first album in Philadelphia right now and there is SO much work to be done… and we are perfectionists, so the editing is virtually interminable. Mita & I will be keeping an eye out for your performance in the future… on the opposite side of the planet. Sigh!
well, let us know when its ready and we will be one of the first ones to buy it.
and dont worry, we will be playing plenty in the U.S.!

beijing 에서 음악을 공부하고 있는 한국학생입니다.
중국 웹사이트에서 우연히 동영상을 보고 음악을 즐기시는 모습에 반해 팬이 되었어요^^
클레식이라면 어렵다고 생각할수 있는데
가볍고 즐겁게 하시고 계시던데요
이미 중국에서도 유명하시더라구요
알고보니 한국계 분이셔서 더 반가웠구요
아시아에도 오셨으면 좋겠네요
오시게 되면 beijing 에도 들려주세요
못오셔도 항상 응원할게요^^
hmmm, yes, i got the beijing bit. ah wait, there was another beijing, right? you want us to come to beijing? is that it? well, we do have plans for china for 2011, but its top secret
Hi I’m from Peru, I love their performances especially when Aleksey plays his violin, I also play violin but I’ve played for 4 months. Aleksey When did you start play violin? I have a 15 years and I ‘d like you to come to this part of the world. Thanks you’re great
well, i started to play the violin when i was 3 weeks old. ok, play is exagerated, i sat on one and it made a noise. keep it up, it will make scratching noises for quite a while, but i am sure you will get past that!
Please come to Spain! I need to see you!Come here, we are waiting!A greeting from the pianist Antón.
si pienso que vamos a estar en espana este ano. no lo se quando o donde todavia…
Please come to Greece!!! You are fantastic!!! I am 21 years old, I am a NOVICE composer and I play piano, trumpet and saxophone! And even though I HATE Violine and strings generally (I used to love guitar, but because of SMALL HANDS i could’t manage to play and I quit trying…) you make me listen to it with pleasure!!! So please come to Greece!!! I’d like to meet you so much and watch you on stage!!! Tnx!!!
thanks you for the compliments! we would love to come to greece some time.
efharisto.
Aleksey I can be like you, my advice is what should I do? Why not write it in the meantime joo. xD
hyung-ki is taking a well deserved break. i am not sure what he is breaking though…
HEY!
please come to Toronto! I’m a pianist and a violinist and I’m simply amazed simply with the videos on youtube.
would love to and we will one day.
The turkisch restaurant is in the Bachstaße 10 53359 Rheinbach near Bonn. We will reopen at the beginning of May. Your are welcomed any time.
werde sicher mal vorbeikommen! alles liebe.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO ST.LOUIS, MO, USA or SEOUL, KOREA! I am tired of watching just the videos!! I probably have watched it million times!
I am a Korean International student who is studying finance and math in Washington University in St. Louis and I love what you guys are doing! I, myself, is in an A Capella group and what we are doing is essentially same with yours but not in Classic setting! Whenever I see your new videos such as Ave Astor or Alla Molto Turca, it is just fabulous! So.. I would really love to see you guys either in Korea or St. Louis! Till we meet, keep up the good work you guys are fabulous!
TJ Yoon from St. Louis
P.S. Check our a cappella group out on youtube! Type “WashU Stereotypes ICCA” The Stereotypes is our group name lol
wow, thats quite some group youve got! very cool indeed — you guys should go on “Americas got Talent”, I think you could get very far. Thanks for all the compliments, also hope to see you at our performance one day. All the best!
Aleksey–
I can’t imagine why anyone, metal band or otherwise, would not immediately take a liking to such a dynamic duo!
Our official website:
http://www.mistressband.com
We have 2 tracks embedded in the player on the top left. Enjoy!
Wishing you well, and safe travels to you and Hyung-ki from all the members of Mistress. We really admire you both, not to mention all the instrumentalists who play alongside you.
Nice voice Deanna and very cool music, I really like it! Wish you all the best in your music and hope to meet ya fellow musicians one day…
I like you, I can very well be what made you do if you need help?
Had a great evening with you and your music last week, near Florence. Really thank you!
GunJ: Yeah really ! Want to see you hehe. Yeah, Igudesman, Joo, you have so much fans here, you have to come back !
@Yume: Yeah ? we went from Nantes too ! So they have to come to Nantes next time ^^
My guitarist Mita introduced me to A Little Nightmare Music about a week ago. I am hooked.
We are very engrossed in everything performance entails (only we’re a classic metal band…) and eagerly await a US tour on your part!
I catch myself singing “Ticket To Ride” via Hyung-ki; and Aleksey, when you exercise the exaggerated Russian accent it sounds like our drummer Andrey (half our band is Russian!) And we can’t get enough of Alla Molto Turca! You two have impressed us, our families, and made it hurt to laugh.
Philadelphia is calling…
wow, classic metal band members who like us — what an honor! we would love to play in Phili — I am sure we will one day.
you got any of your stuff online? keep up the music!
Hello ! I was at your show in France two weeks ago with some friends of mine. We were so enthusiastic ! We came from Nantes to see you and we were really not deceive. It was a amazing show and we were wondering if you were planning to come back again one day ? We love so much what you’re doing !
Really Hope to see you again soon !
Aleksey at first you do not answer me, so everyone can write to me broke. Few years of the violin until you’ve taken and what can I learn? How many years do you play the violin? Able to send me to a signed dvd possible? We’ll take all the example. Thank you
i have played the violin since i am very young and my tip is: practice. does that help? no? hmmm. well, its a tough one i know. keep it up, thats what i say! we sign our dvds after the concerts so come to a concert please. if you can.
Aleksey: Soooo sweet !
You got to tell him that don’t press the “submit” button is like “peeing in a violin” (joke is better in french… “pisser dans un violon”, cause it’s “blowing the wind” i think in english…but don’t work in case… cause you don’t.. play “wind instrument”)
Ok, i take the shame-door…
Joo !!! Come on post a message and i ll send to you a fan art of you both…
Visit PORTUGAL in the next Tour.
Mwahaha, Aleksey love kisses ^^. And answerd to the messages too !
Joo can’t use a keyboard ? May be it’s too different from a piano …
leave the poor man alone — he has answered once — but didnt press the “answer” button so its not green.
i wont always be there as much, and then suddenly it will al be about him! (look how i am defending him — isnt that sweet?)
Hi, I’m violinist. I am from Turkey. I am so happy that you are watching in Ankara. I’ve already kissed you meet with Igudesman xD Concierge Ankara and you always want to see again. I want from you a signed DVD. Thank you xD

Hello Aleksey and Hyung-ki
Just a few minutes ago I was in your show in Istanbul. It was so fantastic show I’ve ever watched music+comedy together. You are great
Hope to see you soon in Istanbul again.
Good luck for your tour
thank you all you wonderful people from istanbul — we love your time, its an honor to play there!
Hi. I was at your show in İstanbul today. It was amazing! Your show is fantastic and you are playing very well also.
Come again to Istanbul please
It’s really a GOOD news and great to hear that.I’m looking forward to your live performance in HK!
Dim sum(點心),which literally means “to touch the heart”.I’m a big fan of dim sum too! And I’m a die-hard fan of Xiao Long Bao(小籠包),because once you’ve tried them,then you’ll be on the never-ending quest to find the perfect Xiao Long Bao… The original Shanghai-style is my favorite.I’ll recommend a traditional Chinese restaurant to you when you come, and hope you’ll enjoy Yum Cha & delicious dim sum.
Hope to see you very soon!
P.S. I’ll bring you some homemade dessert if I can “catch” you two after your show!XD
we are looking forward to the deserts!
Please come to Malaysia too. VERY FUN TO VISIT.

P.P.S: Thank you for all your additions in the Pantheon.
Kipirdamayin!!
A few minutes ago I saw you in turkish CNN TV. (It was visible that Mr. Igudesmann really love “iskender kebap”. ^^)
At once I remambered the christmas present from my friend and her family. It was a ticket for your show in the Pantheon in Bonn. It was pity that you didn’t play my favorite sketch “Ticket to ride”. Nevertheless it was absolutely amazing!!!! Your personality is unique. (Now I have to write in German, because I don’t now how to say it in English^^”) Ich finde es faszinierend, wie ihr es schafft das Publikum so mitzureißen. Sogar, wenn ihr einfach nur auf der Bühne steht, muss man anfangen zu kichern. ^^
Ihr seit klasse!!
P.S: We have got a turkish restaurant. You are invited to visit it and eat some iskender kebap.^^
thanks for the offer, but where is your turkish restaurant?
Hi guys!
I saw your show yesterday in Campi Bisenzio, it was absolutely amazing! My piano teacher told me about it and I’m so happy not to have missed the date. One funny thing: the Mozart Sonata in C that Joo was playing during the credit card sketch is just the one that I’m trying to learn right now(with not very good resaults for the moment, sigh!)!!! Keep up the good work and compliments for your italian! Please come back to Italy very soon, I cannot wait to see another of your shows. U rock!
P.S. — I got your cd but had no kiss from you ;-P
Thanks so much it was a pleasure to play in Campi Biusenzio — what a wonderful audience! And by the way, you should have asked for teh kiss– well, next time you get 2!;)

Thanks for the compliments!
Came to Australia Melbourne please.….
Aleksey Do you speak russian language?
Da gavariu pa ruskii! (Yes I speak Russian).
I am absolutely positive that if you could come to Canada Russian community of Toronto will go crazy about your magnificent performance.
Aleksey: All right, kept in mind for the next time, and we’ll take a pic.
Hiermit möchte ich auf Notenbücher mit norwegischer Geigenmusik der Norsk folkemusikksamling (Norwegisches Volksmusikarchiv, Universität Oslo) aufmerksam machen:
The Fiddle Tunes Volumes: Traditional fiddle music of Norway *
http://www.hf.uio.no/imv/om-instituttet/nfs/felenett/traditio.html
Es gibt mehrere Bände mit Musik für Hardanger Fiedel und normale Geige.
Vielleicht können diese Notenbücher auch als Anregung für ein neues Heft aus der World-Music-Reihe bei der Universal Edition dienen.
—–
* The fiddle music of Norway is rich and varied tradition. This web-site is built around the extensive documentation that resulted in two series of books: the seven large volumes of transcriptions of 1992 hardingfele tunes (‘Hardingfeleverket’), and the four volumes of tunes for the ‘normal fiddle’ (‘Feleverket’). Included in the books are also a number of in-depth articles on the fiddle music traditions in different districts, and on questions pertaining to the transcription of fiddle music, as well as Blom’s classic article on the music-dance connection.
Ich kenne und liebe norwegische Fiddlemusik! (I know and love Norwegian fiddle music…
Will keep it in mind for my future publications, thanks for the tip.
Hallo! ich habe Euch heute in Youtube entdeckt und bin BEGEISTERT! wann seid ihr mal in Deutschland, in Freiburg i. Br.? ich bin da!!!!!!!!!!!!! und freue mich sehr so eine hohe Kunst einmal live sehen zu dürfen! Ihr habt mich ins Schwärmen gebracht!!!!!
Hi,
)
I will join the Matěj’s appeal few posts above and ask you, if you are planning to go to Czech Republic, especially Prague. You are playing in all these countries in Europe and still not crossing the czech concert halls
As Matěj mentioned, Mozart liked us, he also dedicated one of his operas to us, so it can just happen that it will be the same for you (mean the liking thing, it is not necessary to dedicate another opera to Prague
Hope to see you
Radka
yet again, unfortunately it is, a lot of the time, (still) not always upto us where we play. if a promoter or a concert hall wants us, they book us. so if you want us in Prague, write to your local concert hall demanding us. thats the best I can do for the moment… till then — YouTube or our DVD
how can we spam the vote for te next show ? ^^
And After Europe win the vote, can we vote for France ?
And after that, can we vote for 3 DVDs and a bigger room ? ^^
And about 5 DVDs, is it something in a bigger room with 2 kisses ?
I know, but i didn’t got my kiss in Tours… Aleksey were too afraid ^^
I was sooo not afraid! In fact next time I will nibble your ear, to prove it! Didnt ya take a photo with us? Would love to have it!
Come to Sweden!
Love you!
so when will you come?
Hey dudes,
Both of you are magicians! Revamping the classical world with sparkles and humours. You all are busy at the other side of the world. What about the east? I’m hoping that you can step onto Singapore’s soil, at least once. Please please… I wish to see you dudes here (or maybe any Asean countries?)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to North Carolina.
Y’all are amazing and I’ve been stuck in the bible belt for too long without good music.
I’m sure all the music faculty at Broughton High will be forever grateful to you.
actually, we played in several locations in North Carolina last year, Greensboro and other places… where were you? I think they all liked it, so we are likely to return! we have several times blocked for U.S. tours in the next years, so not to worry.
Hey, guys.. you’re awsome…
But… Aleksey, you sing a song about Uruguay, and as far as i know, you wrote it becuase you actually love That country! OK, so.. COME!
i’m writing from Montevideo, Uruguay (capital city), beggin for you presense!
Maybe i could help you…
yes, would LOVE to return to Uruguay… perhaps one day! me gustaria ir en enero o febrero, como las ultimas vezes.
as I said, you can help by asking your local concert halls and promoters to book us — its as simple as that
dear igudesman and joo my name is Antony.I am from greece.i always hped since my music teacher showed me your videos i always wanted to see you lively.i always voted for coming to europe but i never show it.unfortionately i had some problems and for a couple months i had no internet to ckeck your site,but now that i am able to i would love to see you in athens.I can’t wait for a response and i am hoping that you will come.
Yours faithfully,
Antony Caracostas
ah, athens! yes, we would love to play there some time. we have both been there to meet the wonderful film composer Vangelis — a great musician and lovely person.
Well…ill do what I can to have you play in Australia again.
Guys, come to Boston, MA! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Hello.
My name is Francesca, I am a student in Australia.
I only accidentally stumbled on your youtube videos recently, and immediately fell in love with you both. You play beautifully, and your brilliant sense of humour makes the whole experience very enjoyable. I’ve noticed you give many concerts in Europe. Unfortunately I never seem to be in Europe when your giving a concert. Have you ever considered giving a concert in Australia? I believe you would be very welcomed here!
Hope to have the chance to see you play some day.
All the best
Francesca.
ah, how much we would love to return to australia — we actually played there in the huntington 4 years ago:
http://www.huntingtonestate.com.au/page.aspx?docid=35
a little tip for all you out there “craving” for a bit of us live (so to speak) — bombard your local nicest concert halls and promoters with emails demanding us, that way the chance that we will come increases by 67.5 procent!
New webpage is very nice. But something is missing here — information about some your performance in Czech republic, for example in favourite city of Mozart — in Prague
. I know, that many people writes you to come to their country, but in Czech republic is also many people, who likes your music. It would be great to see you here!
Thank you for your music.
Matěj Pešta
Mr. Tambourine Man!!!
Where were you everytime we were in Belgium? I mean, we played around 25 shows for 18,000 people every night in Antwerp (Anvers). We’ve also been in Charleroi and Waterloo.
We were also on Belgian TV, explaining how we use handcuffs.
Well, OK, we’ll come back. But just for you Thomas, and only if you bring some of the most legendary Belgian Fries. With Mayonnaise.
Best,
The Korean Joo
please come to Belgium !!!
I mean, you have to come to Belgium ! We need to see you performing. And please keep doing more cazy and artistic stuff. You’re just doing an amazing work… I just can’t get bored from your videos but now I want to see you performing !
Thomas
ps: sorry for the english, my knowledge of it is pretty weak
COME TO NEW YORK!!!!!! You are wonderful to watch, I’ve seen the videos, but there is nothing like a live performance.
soon, soon… just hang on, we are doing our best to be there ASAP.
Hello!
I’m Elyse from Montréal, Canada.
My friends and I are really big fans of yours and we were wondering if you would be coming to Canada (Québec)
We LOVE your amazing work (as musicians ourselves)
and we hope you’ll continue producing your amazing tricks!
Élyse
we will deffinately come to Canada again (we were there last year) and would love to visit Quebec. at the moment there is nothing planned, but as soon as there is, we will let everyone know. best to subscribe to our newsletter!
realy I love u and I hope to see u live I just saw u on youtube and I shared the videos with my friends and it Won the admiration of all.……please please come to EGYPT
Here’s my boring story about how I discovered your music. It’s all drama and serendipity:
I live in Bologna and I play in a band (you’re not in the story yet, this is my moment!), a friend of mine was uploading a video of us playing “I will survive”, but he was unsure about the spelling so he googled it.
)
One of the first results was your video, he was kind of blown up and he told me about it.
We spent the evening watching every video we could find and your website too, learning you were about to play in bologna (that was astonishing and kind of weird). A few days after we were sitting at your (great) show at the Manzoni (was Joo having a little voice trouble? hard to tell, but we missed ticket to ride
We were quite astonished. By your musicianship and, by your knowledge of the italian language. Thank you for your work.
well Branco, thanks for you story, its nice, we like!
anyhow, Hyung-ki (Joo) did NOT have a voice problem, just a psychological one that I think we all know about
we try do new numbers so that regular fans get to see new stuff, so sometimes the old and beautiful (if one can say that about ticket to ride) has to go…
keep up the band — long live music and WE WILL SUVIVE (said in a Russian accent)
Aleksey
Come to Portugal please, it´s a little country but very beautiful. You are great
Dear Ana Lucia.
We should be coming to Portugal soon, so watch out!
Hyung-ki & Aleksey
