no questions for that, young kavakos's version is the best ever for technique angle.
he played this difficult piece with fast and smooth temple with accurate notes and impressive emotion. I see that this piece reveals ease on his hand. by the way Shlomo Mintz's version is also world class level.
...wow...just to hear this piece performed on the same violin that it was thought up on...this is amazing...i'm tearing up just thinking how similar to Paganini Mintz already is even without the violin...it's almost like Paganini was born again.
Is there any special reason that many of the best violinists in the world are (or were) Jews (Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, Shlomo Mintz, Gil Shaham)? Is that just the coincidence?
Shlomo Mintz is the best violinist I have ever seen or heard. So calm and perfectly controled.
I well remember his performances in Ljubljana, many years ago, once playing Mozart and the second time playing Bach. I shall never forget that.
i didnt not like his interpretaion even though it was very amAzing. i dont wanna sound rude or be an ass really but i don't think he prepared as much as he should have. anyways, this is not a dissapointment as i kno what shlomo can do. he is terrific.
trust he is right. I tried playing on other violins other than mine. I really cant get the flow and smoothness other than my violin. But this Il Cannone sounds really harsh and its like its having a bad cold and cant sing well. It should be played more often.
The reason this instrument sounds so terrible is because it is never played. Thats what happens when you keep these priceless instruments locked up for years without being played. They turn into really nice looking boxes with some strings on them.
The paganini concerto really isn't that difficult. If you can play double stops and double stopped harmonics is easy. I'm not saying that I can play it as well as Mintz, the Paganini concerto is basically like a reallllly big etude. haha.
That is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Musically speaking you are correct, but this is one of the most technically challenging pieces ever written. Don't you double stopped harmonics are as difficult as left hand technique gets ergo there can be nothing more difficult!
Double stopped harmonics are not that hard. Once you practice where to put your fingers, they are easy. When you have longer fingers it is much easier, Harmonics are easy for me. I can easily reach a fifth with my 1st and 3rd fingers. Therfore double stopped harmonics are easy for me. The Tchaikovsky concerto is so much harder than the Paganini. you just have to be able to double stop really well.
true, but Paganini's deffinately isn't an easy concerto.
all you really need is just lots of brutal works with thirds and tenths, and the cadenza is really the only INSANE part, but its lots of tedious work for those who aren't fortunate enough to have those long magical fingers.
and whats all this talk with double harmonics?
thats just like one section in the cadenza and lots of people cut that part out anyways.
i have to agree that it is like an etude as its very repetitious
@milstein91 actually if you go listen to other recordings of mintz, you will hear a much diffrent sound. remember, mintz only had about a week to practice on this violin before this recording, so he may in actuality not be used to it. I am not saying that this recording and his overall playing are not sublime, just that he may not be producing all he could, which is not his fault.
I went to Amazon to purchase this DVD and it is only available only in what was called "format 2" which said it wouldn't play in most American DVD players..I am so sad.
He normally rarely misses a note-this violin is huge, let alone its fingerboard..he has been a shade off a few times on his harmonics and I think it is because of the difference in the size of what he is used to playing-he doesn't have the larger hand this violin was built to accomodate. Nor do I-(I in fact shopped for a violin built for a smaller hand) I think it would be murder on a smaller hand. This has been a fantastic performance on his behalf..BRAVO!
Do you see the white thing at the top of the scroll? It's made of ivory, this is real Paganini's violin they lent to Mintz, it is the farthest the violint travelled outside of Ganoa, where it is stored in a vault along with a Villion's exact copy of it, but on special occasion they lend the instrument to the contemporaries.
WIKIPEDIA> On occasion, Il Cannone is loaned to musicians for performance. Violinist Shlomo Mintz performed a special Il Cannone concert on Paganinis violin with the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra in 1997. In 1999, Eugene Fodor played Il Cannone at a special concert in San Francisco, California.[2] It was the farthest the violin had ever been from Italy. Conditions of its travel included a multimillion-dollar insurance policy and an armed escort of Italian police officers.
Oh lord, his own cadenza insert was wicked hard -- he totally does not like this concerto. U can tell he doesn't practice it much, doesn't think much of it except for his cadenza. But he's right to think that way -- love his Caprice #2 thing in the cadenza!
No..this is HIS birthday..and this was his greatest wish for his birthday--to play THIS concerto on this violin on his birthday...he was delighted for this chance to come his way!
