[romanelcore10]

what an honour to play such a jewel of a violin!

[keetner]

To be playing on Paganini's violin....cool!

[leoncioviolin]

bravísimo!!!!

[manyworlds123456789]

Damn, I wish I had his rosin.

[241hnd]

Awesome performance. 

[Appeltaartislekkr]

What is the name of this part?

[tonyborbony]

@Appeltaartislekkr Hey een nederlander! Kewl, dit is Violin Concerto No.1 Op. 6 van Niccolò Paganini. Ben er alleen niet zeker van of Op. 6 bij de titel hoort of niet.

[Appeltaartislekkr]

@tonyborbony Dankje :D

[dududevynidu]

Not as good as Kogan or Hirschhorn, but still very very good

[TheChai26]

The best one ever heard

[111violist]

I dont understand why he is so digging in to this violin (maybe the best one). He is stifle the sound. In my opinion Menuhin or Vodička perform this piece more naturaly

[baronsting]

to play like these folks you have to start at a young age and play through hours of your life, dont go out and play with the other kids but practice. (eight hours a day is a start) and then you play for years till the music sheeted is not necessary becuase youve played it countless times you know every note, and after you know a couple 48 lengthy concertos by heart your halfway there.

[kherynn]

This man looks to be a very proud man...I love listening to him...and particularly love when we are able to see his fingers close up.

[Flaminggential]

maan..i dream of playing this violin like everyday..too bad i ain't no where near this stage

[rybakostis]

Feels like he doing some boring job for 1000$ an hour. It almost perfect but totally boring.

[fireballkiller]

@rybakostis you know I have to agree somewhat, I think that Alexander Markov has a little more of that "something" but shlomo is no shmo..

[hobbitg3]

@rybakostis when you play violin or any instrument you dont care about money... he enjoys it

[verlib17]

Not the best of his performances. Look at him in early years. But I always liked his hands. So natural.

[jthameschoir]

He was so beautiful at this age. I love his playing.

[karatekatalog]

my idol !

[takhirviolinest]

Benissimo!

[farhadkhosro]

el diablo esta ballando detras de el, puedo ver lo.

[Airwin13]

this guy is sick

[vonlubcke]

outstanding!

[takhirviolinest]

yes, also listen Kogan's playing.

[zaokoyechatma]

were is this man from

[NyyLucky7]

Shlomo is just rediculous at violin. beautiful concerto

[zaokoyechatma]

that Paganini is one hell of a composer and Shlomo Mintz one hell of a violinist

[zaokoyechatma]

do he have on a sholder rest

[oliffx]

yep

[takhirviolinest]

There is talk not about style about violin Ciaccone II "Guarneri del gesu 1742" It's about competition. In competition they want to play from originale sheet and if you win in this competition you can Play in this violin. He play from the urtext HV 450. (some body can play better than he but not in competition.)

[jkmylol]

idk... this paganini doesn't have the italian style that it should have.

hmmmm im not sure if i like this one as much as others

[NOalRAZZISMO]

what's the italian style? Out of tune double stops perhaps? This performance is in "Israeli/american" style which is good enough for me!!

[tomasweiner]

Third variation in Paganini´s 24 th caprice (octaves) sounds more like Arabian than Italian music..

[TwelfthRoot2]

did you ever find that interview?!

[OriginalMoonbeam]

@TwelfthRoot2 It's here on YT..

[OriginalMoonbeam]

@TwelfthRoot2 Just went prowling around for it and don't see it...it was an interview in Japan, so it was translated, but a great interview..but has been sometime since I watched it...he was giving details about how much work he put into the research of Paganini and this concerto..it was absolutely fascinating..I regret I didn't mark it or go back to listen a second time..

[TwelfthRoot2]

I love watching interviews of great musicians because it's awesome hear their interpretation of the music and the composer.

[aaron1tatamovich]

great mintz!!!!! the best of all times wonderful, q increible mintz!!!! musicalidad ,sonido, tecnica, completisimo, un grande entre los grandes

[Draziw777]

Pan Minz stacił wiele ze swojej młodzieńczej werwy i zaangażowania. Sprawia wrażenie, jakby bardziej przejmował się trudnymi pasażami, niż samą muzyką. Niemniej jednak wciąż prezentuje wysoki poziom.

[skyblueearthgreen]

This violin seems to have larger plates than most violins, the amount of resistance to produce an even tone might be more than usual but the volume and tone are also magnified.

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

has anybody noticed that hes playing a little bit more forceful than he usually does? especially in part 1? i dont know it might be just me....

[Fastopen]

What an awesome G string has the Il cannone!

now I know why Paganini enjoyed with every G composition.

[zaokoyechatma]

those are a good set of strings my g string will not sound like that for shit . mayde it's me

[aghferi]

Awesome!!
