Amazing talented kid! Must see and hear to believe
I came across this on a helicopter forum and I just had to share! He is Ukrainian accordionist Aleksandr Hrustevich. Late last week, this video of Hrustevich performing the third movement of “Summer” from Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” swept across the Internet. He is playing a bayan (Russian chromatic button accordion).
I never knew an accordion could sound like this!!
In case the embed video doesn't work for you...below is a link to his youtube channel

Having grown up in a Soviet satellite country I have my share of experiences with bayans but I never knew it could do what that kid did. The kid is insanely talented.
Fun, fun and more fun. But do not be selfish. Provide some fun and you will receive some fun.

I just had to share, I thought he was absolutely amazing, and playing a piece of music you would never expect played on such an instrument!

Re: Amazing talented kid! Must see and hear to believe
You would expect that kind of music to be played on a Bayan. They are the accordion of choice to play classical music on. Accordions were designed to be one-man band instruments. They are designed to play both the harmony and melody parts. So it can sound like a lot is going on with just one person playing. But that is part of the design. This is not to say this kid isn't a virtuoso and clearly very talented. But don't be impressed merely because you thought an accordion couldn't sound like that.

...I did not know that was their purpose or design. I always thought polka and such. Thank you.
