Vieuxtemps Capriccio for solo viola performed by Eric Nowlin HD1080p 

Many thanks!

Hi Eric! I am Graziela Fortunato. I was at your parent's home. I was friend of your brother. Long time ago...1997. Fantastic to hear you playing!! What a nice sound and interpretation.

Many thanks!

Thanks man!

Thanks Ben! This is the DSO 1757 Guadagnini that I am playing here.

Брависсимо!Самое сочное исполнение из всех,которые я слышала! Очень красивый звук и трактовка.

@@ericnowlinvi0la Thanks! So cool. Is it big for a Guad? Most that I’ve seen are on the smaller side, but that one looks (and sounds) more substantial.

@@benullery This instrument is unusual for a Guadagnini, as it was enlarged by the Hill shop in the 1940s. It was originally a little under 15", and is now 16.25"

Ah cool! Thanks for the info. Great to hear you play it!

Thanks! The viola is has a 16.5" back

Thanks! I use PI strings for all four strings.

@@ericnowlinvi0la Thank you for your reply... the sound is amazing and your interpretation is outworldly! I have been practising for 3 months now and I wish I could play like you at some point...

Thanks! The back length is only 16.25", but it looks large because the lower bouts are almost 10" across...
