@@dragonn8671 presumo tu sia italiano... sadist vuol dire sadico. E non lo dico perché io lo sappia, sono semplicemente andato a controllare per curiosità. Quindi non c'è nulla di strano nel commento di Alice
Outstanding performance, great tone and musicality despite the difficulties, now I can image what Paganini himself would have sounded like. Double harmonics at 5:50 the best I have heard. Kogan's version was great but this is yet one level up from that!
Listened to Kogan's version again and I have to say his musicality is too good to dismiss his version. Kavakos's technique is unmatched, but Kogan's phrasing is so pleasing. I tip my hat to the few violinists who can play this piece and do Paganini justice.
Is there more ppl that had archived this masterpiece of Niccolò Paganini? I mean, the one who’s playing must been a kind of vampire and practicing for 200 years. This is insane, I love it. And I thought that no.24 was very difficult, then this is impossible
Paganini 24 is hard but not insurmountable, there are maybe thousands who can play it correctly, while maybe only a couple dozen violinists that can play this piece correctly
There is a part of his performance at roughly 3:16 where he plays a down bow and then slows his bow speed ever so slightly to make a ricochet, this is not only extremely hard to do correctly but very easy to mess up. and yet he played it absolutely perfectly, Truly Incredible!!!
My God, he's like Heifetz!!! Everything is at lightning speed, and yet it looks completely effortless, and the articulation is utterly superb. Amazing🤩
excellent, thanks for uploading it's clear to me why when I recently tried to book tickets for one of his concerts, it was sold out, two months in advance!
This is just the slowest speed he got Not kidding, watch Twoset, they met him and he say that insane Paganini video that people record. He say he feel SLOW when he play that, but his dad tell him not to play faster because no one can able to hear the notes anymore if he plays too fast
Dude looks like a skinnier Paul Bearer, "the urn! the urn!" Seriously though, this guy had the best mustache in the business back in the day, and it was a proper mo, not one of these "ironic" ones you see nowadays
I think ziyu has it hard. Not that kavakos didn't struggle. But older violins has a brighter sound. Ziyu made an additional effort for the color of his sound to be so bright.
Tried to find a better recording, since it was aired on public TV. Unfortunately it was recorded on VHS tapes and the broadcaster does not have the recording anymore
and to think that the rock world idolizes Hendrix, Vaughan and Clapton for being such virtuosos comes across as definitely silly when you check this guy's mastery...
great version. I still have a soft spot for Leonid Kogan's version of this though. Search YT for ' Paganini - Introduction and Variations on "Nel cor più non mi sento". Leonid Kogan '. It's an older film/recording, but the playing shines through the audio. Check it out.
