Shlomo Mintz plays Paganini on "Il Cannone" 

The fact that Paganini himself played that violin is honestly blowing my mind

🎉❤MAGNIFICAT!!!! I was crying by watching THIS INSTRUMENT AT PALAZZO TURSI MUSEOM AT GENOVA, twiste......4 years ago.... Hello from Jerusalem. 🎉❤

CONGRATULATION FOR INTERPRETATION PAGANINI MR. S.MINTZ....AND THE VIOLIN' SOUND IS PERFECT...FROM BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA.. THANKS FOR VIDEO

the sound is sweet and smooth like warm caramel

Il cannone es tal vez el más potente violín sobreviviente de una gran época de stradivari, paso por las manos de Paganini y el gran Schlomo Mintz lo presenta con sumo respeto n este video, Gran Schlomo, un saludo.

A wonderful performance by a stunning musician and virtuoso in a magical meeting with the magnificent il cannone. Wow Great little documentary as well

"The Cannon of Guarneri!!", in exquisite hands, sounding as a Miracle!!

Ecco la celestialita'del Nostro amatissimo Niccolo'Paganini ed il grandissimo virtuoso interprete.Grandiosi.grazie

I love this video and mainly this fantastic performance. What a joy!

What a beautiful recording startlingly rich felt as if I could reach out and touch it .thank you

Il Cannone is not, I repeat, is not a piece of wood! This violin was created by one of the most gifted violin makers in the mid 1700s with poor facilities for the fine art of specialised wood carving. It is a work of art which not just appeals to the eye ; in the capable hands it produces the finest sounds of music for the souls waiting to be uplifted !

such an powerful sound!!!

Tutto molto bello, grazie.

שלמה מינץ ענק הכנרים! תודה רבה!

Magnificent control and technique

Beautiful!! so much emotion!!

It has good volume even on the harmonic of a very high note around 12:45.

this is perfect!!!

The concerto performance begins at 4:46.

Il cannone è un catalizzatore di emozioni che sublimano l'anima di chi comprende...

Fantastico!

Divine. Like an angel singing.

OMG... speechless! Each violin is made for certain music...I don't think the Soil for example could be as good for this piece because it can't be attacked per legend...but this Gesu was born for this piece...! And think ... Paganini was sick for the majority of his career with Syphilis...

Simply beautiful!

Very powerful! Too bad Maestro Renato did not make copies

Il Cannone,belo violino, ótima execução, parabéns 👍

Che bel video, che bella gente!

“IL CANNONE… “ Shiver…!

Ah man, this instrument was just made for Paganini. The Soil would sound a bit shrill for most of his very technical pieces like this one--On Il Cannone you can hear every note very clearly with just the right amount of resonance. Not too bright and not too dark, although slightly on the darker side than a Strad. Very excellent.

que emocion es escucharle es grandioso

Inspiring!!!

Me encanta. 💖

What a privilege !

Maravilloso 🎻

amongst other players I've heard play the instrument, Mintz seems to pull the power out from the instrument. I'd love to know if they ever attempted to match string gauges (and string tension) with how Paganini actually used it (I assume they would have to use the old string technology though). You'd think the instrument might react/vibrate more in keeping with the way it did when Paganini played it. I wonder.

I was going to listen to this at work but they have a zero tolerance policy against violins in the work place.

Excellent intonation, so rare even among the so-called prodigies.

The Best

Always known as "Fast-mo" Mintz

Great violinist

11:46 to 11:48 , although it's only a few bars, sounds really funny. Like honking. A car honking.

Hermosa música.

Surprised this thing can play almost after 200 years ago.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What was the song at 9:30?

😍🎻🎵🎶💪

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is the only violin I have heard that didn't have that terrible scraping sound.. it is a booming and joyful instrument, a person understands how it creates such music

Anyone knows what piece is playing at 8.09 ?

Please name of music grand opening..

best living violinist and second best only to niccolo himself!

can you even call a copy a copy? because you don't hear violins that sound like that. its a very thick, dark and robust tone. the highs aren't anything spectacular or unique, but this violin really has a unique lower end. .

Y la cadenza CARAJO?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Cello case and. Silk Bein & Fushi they took from me as the fiddle attaches the concerto, made as such. Guarneri ....

Il liutaio era Renato Scrollavezza?

いつか本物を見てみたい

si sarebbe potuto fare a Genova :)

Oroginal King Joseph and I did not get it. 4 Matsuda s and I chose Lafont. Lafont?

:'(

Il Cannone never had a better player, I guess. I am having the idea that our present generation of violin players surpassed Paganini.

Sarebbe interessante trovare chi lo saprebbe suonare anche con le corde di budello

o

A volte le regie sembra che non sappiano che piú della metà della tecnica e dell’interpretazione stanno nel braccio destro…

Noice

I think this violin has not played much. And I can still see the Del Gesu's charaterestics such as masculinity in G,D strings, but overall it sounds a little stuffy.

, sicher, Paganini hat geschpielt ein bisschen besser,,,,,

So , would they actually kill to save that violin ? what an over valued piece of wood with a history that is....Every human life is worth more than all the rare instruments in the world....
