Paganini Caprice no.5 [HQ]

[coprhead6]

Thought about starting this on viola... yeah, I'm doing 16 instead

[yosoychidoyeah]

LOOK MOM, I'M USING THE BOW WITHOUT PINKY FINGER!!!

[00Mj000]

did he just fucking play untied fast notes bowing down only? holy shit

[TubeSpoker]

BRAVO !!!!!! 

[RenegadeRenaissance]

Andy Samberg??

[coprhead6]

@RenegadeRenaissance

HAHAHAH YES

[shredmaster100]

ive tried learning this on the electric guitar its the hardest thing ive ever tried to learn and ive been playing for 11 years and this is very challenging and the changes are very tricky paganini was a genius

[joelui89]

@1212surface They say this is how he played it originally, with all the ricochet, he was overall, the devil himself...

[roxanayayes]

mas lindoooo!



[petroKAMEHAMEHA]

Esto es de lo más impresionante que eh visto en mi vida!!!!!! :')

[prjoeyj]

who makes the violin?

[muslit]

this is the original bowing - that said, this is pretty good - but i think only paganini himself could have done it justice

[pilotoatomico]

daamn, this guy could also be a kick ass percussionist haha

[deanxleong]

tuning on stage in front of many people like a bauss. His bow control is quite amazing! spiccato slurs.

Damn

[atsu1020shi]

I like Shlomo Mintz Paganini better but it is still awesome :)

[codebot100]

whoa, his head looks like it's about to fall off.

[zeedi0]

Paganini invented that style of bouncing rapid ricochet bowing. Markov mentions it in his instruction videos.

[SomeAnimeOtaku]

at 2:30 I realised I was about to drool on my keyboard o.0

[LFCzeppelin8]

The Violin: "LET ME BREATHE!"

[happyfunnyfoo]

THIS is the ONLY recording I've heard that uses the correct bowing for the 5th Caprice. In Paganini's manuscript, it's indicated that this is the correct bowing (triple staccato down - up for every set of 16th notes).

My edition (Galamian) and presumably all editions have the easier/wrong bowing.

[happyfunnyfoo]

Markov's bowing is the same bowing that Paganini indicated in his manuscript. EVERYONE ELSE HAS IT WRONG. The Galamian and other editions of the caprices are all wrong for #5. Check out Paganini's manuscript for the 24 caprices on IMSLP. See for yourself.

[valentinitasi]

wow yo no se si algun dia podre tocar el violin asi! :D

[Yahshuaismylamp]

He looked sort of like that guy on Red Violin on the thumnail haha.

[MENENETSS]

q teso ese man

[ThousandRoseBurial]

(these are complements coming from a violinist as well as classical guitarist)

Amazing Bow Control, Amazing Flexibility, Amazing Finger Independence

[tigerarmyrule]

@ThousandRoseBurial It really ought to be impossible but clearly isn't because we see it and hear it. This treatment is staggeringly good.

[dblivezalwayz]

WOW! BRAVO! BRAVO!

[greenbeaner69]

lolol he looks like Andy Samburg!

[c0mpuipf]

i thought he'd say "maaan, i dont need your applause!!" so i threw the violin on the ground!!

[MrArdelco1970]

love the ricochetD

[nintendoor1]

This guy is awesome..but I think shlomo's version is better,better technique it seems,and he doesn't "skip" over the strings,you hear every note at the same volume,but like I said this guy is a great violinist

[Cunelito]

wOw

[violover1]

still markov the best who ever played paganini for me full of technique i adore markov's caprice style just him want to listen playing paganini

[Flaminggential]

@1212surface youtube nin feng. he plays this with ricochet bowing too. but ya it's nearly impossible

[shurikenwarrior13]

Why is this guy headbanging all the time? :D

[AlexiSkwisJGMetal]

@shurikenwarrior13 Classic music is fucking metal \m/

[shurikenwarrior13]

@AlexiSkwisJGMetal true \m/ 

[MrEinsteinum]

@AlexiSkwisJGMetal Metal is just noise.

[AlexiSkwisJGMetal]

@MrEinsteinum ummhum, just noise for pussies, but I'm sure that you dont understand how beatyful is metal, theres a lot of classic musicians that prefer both of this type of music:) I mean classic music and metal:)

[HECKproductions]

@MrEinsteinum this satement shows that you have no clue of music

[suckerlovesick]

God, it seems like his fingers never touch the strings, he´s really awesome!

[ALEXANDRELUCCA]

But I've never heard anyone play this Caprice with ricochet bowing. It's a different sound... and a very different expression [ 2 ]

[bobstronge]

Chale, todo embarrado :S

[tumyeto111]

at 1:36 he looks like Andy Samberg hahaha

[wilocaust]

@tumyeto111 hahaha he does

[Anemonicus]

he kinda looks like graham chapman

[oaxashington]

a 2 reggaetoneros no les gusto paganini

[am91666]

Michael angelo Batio of violin :DD

[AmadoDom]

que buen rincochete

[IbanezGuy408]

My favorite of the Paganini studies

[mmenchu]

WOOOOOOOW - can't fit enough O's. Jesus H. Christ.

[Dioon]

I have to say this, this is just amazing! Where has music gone?? Where has the passion and talent for music gone??

[LadiesMan1872]

isn't he using spiccato?

[karimosm]

his bowing is nearly perfect. and nobody uses ricochet here - except of him

[archivaldoh]

Interpretación demasiado rápida, pero aún así muy buena.

[satchbooggy]

i bow to this bowing

[johnflaherty219]

Johncast91, you think this bowing doesn't fit the well to this caprice? you re so funny.

this guy is an extraordinary musician!

[johncasti91]

I think this bowing doesn't fit very well to this caprice...

[violinoamore]

@johncasti91 This is the bowing Paganini himself prescribed for this piece (see the original manuscript). Most of the violinists ignore it and play a highly simplified exercise instead, that is not Paganini's version. It is a kind of cheating in a way ....

[anlinwang2]

@violinoamore i thought the original bowing was three down and one up?

[bbrody5982]

@johncasti91 I would like to see your resume

[HUSKY5757]

He plays with such style...! He resembles Paganini quite a lot as well!

[NeufilmsInc]

@HUSKY5757 Lol, in about another 15 years, he'll probably look exactly like all the pictures we have of Paganini ( unless he cuts his hair :-( )!

[HUSKY5757]

Such style! 

[odyseasf]

this guy is the best!! nobody plays plays Paganini with such style.

[avixilynn]

Personally, I think Alexander Markov does it the best. I refuse to hear anyone else do Paganini, everyone else does it too soft and straight, it leaves me wanting more, but when I hear Markov I'm 100% satisfied.

[chrishagop]

Who is this guy? He looks like Andy Samberg!

[Nostravitagadiel]

@1212surface in fact, there is like it must to be played there is like that on the score

[BlckComb]

@1212surface not richochet, spiccato. Still just silly amazing though.

[vuth94]

@BlckComb That is ricochet, most other violinists use sautille/spicatto bowing for this caprice.

[bartweisser]

@1212surface

The "ricochet" type staccato is what is written on the music. While in the score it was arranged in 1 (234) throughout, where the numbers are the sixteenth notes, and those in brackets are played saltati (i.e., ricochet). Markov played with different types of ricochets instead.

[Vnde2rDproductos]

q cara de loco!!! pero un virtuoso maestro maestro,muy bueno

[COSMICBUM]

staggering bow control!!!

[metalero19882]

i wish i can listen to this, at least one time in my life, really loud. right next to slavonic march, wait, iv'e done that this morning.

[ikarus2080]

MASTERPIECE

[cellator24]

ara malikian has played the 24 caprices in many ocasions also.

but I have to admit that the original bowings by markov sound a hundred times better than malikian ones

[MrAvana7]

Questo modo di Interpretare i Capricci è MAGNIFICO, penso che l' Esecuzione di tutti e 24 da parte di Markov sia la migliore di questo (SECOLO)

[superikkikun]

fucking weird ass version.. interesting nonetheless

[TheGodfatherRulo]

THIS IS NO WAY HUMAN AT ALL!!!!!

[yathribe]

impresive best version according to me

[magyarman24]

Well done!

[punkindrublicrpp]

0_0 wow

the best version of no. 5 i've ever heard. thanks for posting!

[annpham]

If my memory serves me right, he is the first and only one who did 24 Caprices in ONE concert, no? Was there anyone did that before him that I don't know? Jesus Christ! This is surreal! He must be taken by the devil of music; along with Maxim Vengerov, he's for me the best!

[TheKazdog]

Itzhak perlman has played all 24 caprices - in Australia.

[Laprevotte]

Kogan did it decades before this guy, and there are many others. In fact, just a few years ago Yehonathan Berick, a U of Michigan professor played all 24 (I just graduated from there)

[annpham]

@Laprevotte are there any official records of those earlier 24 caprices performers? i actually cannot imagine anyone surpasses "this guy." He's da best paganini player

[Laprevotte]

@annpham - not that I know. These were live performances, and Kogan's wasn't recorded. My first teacher studied with Kogan and he told me that, and I red it somewhere, too. I am sure Berick has recorded his recital but it's like a private recording, I guess. A couple of years ago a Japanese kid played all 24 in Michigan. I have heard of some others doing the entire set.

[andreasamati]

@annpham No Ricci did..and much better I might add.

[annpham]

@andreasamati thanks I remember Ricci's caprice no. 24. But I think Markov is much better :)

[nicolas1572]

Exelente Violinista

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Woohoo! Yehey! Hurray! Bravissimo Markov! The best Paganini Caprice No. 5 ever!

Thank you so much for posting!
