[autumnlarbre]

[dafersapa]

[AnitaSinopoli]

0:59 esa parte es magnifica :')

[MrDarrell666]

una pregunta en realidad el es niccolo paganini perdon mi ignorancia

[speedokills]

@MrDarrell666 Niccolo Paganini 1782-1840 el violinista del video se llama Alecander Markov. Lo dice en la descripsion.

[supersonicxmind]

@MrDarrell666 no el no es, el es Andy Sandberg, El autor compositor de esta pieza es niccolo paganini

[byVivienne3x]

Markov <3

[Irirshness]

i just wet myself....... fuck..

[keikosan91]

Increible, impresionante.. No hay palabras para describir esta interpretacion. Que gran obra de Nicolò Paganini. Las notas parecen salir desgarrando el aire. Realmente apasionante.

[makotosfeelings]

es impresionante lo que una persona puede llegar a hacer con practica y constancia.. soy violinista pero no alcanzo melodías tan complicadas como estas todavía... espero poder tocar así de bien algún día :) 

[Eri13kk]

Él no es bien parecido, pero cuando toca su instrumento las mujeres se arrastran a sus pies.

[facup4]

No puedo entender que no les guste esto bueno no todos somos iguales pero darle dislike al video me parece triste 23 personas no respetan la buena musica :(

[MxnRainmaker]

@facup4 Yo tampoco puedo entender, pero si no les gusta esta musica porque estan viendo esta clase de videos, yo creo que mejor deberian ver algo como de narco corridos o algo de su nivel de culturta, no crees?????

[MunchNCrunch1]

3:00 = begin awesomeness

[nifur1]

MAESTRO! :-)

[Dogaradodia]

Watching Markov galvanizes my thinking that violin playing has ESP.

[maxim1991350]

one of the best paganini interpretations..



[MrXavicus]

eargasm at 3:01 in 3... 2... 1... ohhhh

[Dorothee0793]

[nainPRO]

Alguien mas tuvo un orgasmo?

[OpusMetus]

@nainPRO Yo, uno a cada 5:09 minutos.

[aimson]

As superior as I think Heifetz's version is, I do have to say that Markov really channels Paganini greatly here. Somewhat out of control, impulsive, creative/imaginative, unpredictable, virtuosic, and most importantly, often close to the edge of complete disaster! BRAVO!

[minicassinio]

@aimson I agree - usually I dislike it when violinists go for speed and push their control to the limit, as I think it makes for a less pleasing sound. However, like you said, I think it works really well here - the piece itself is technically all over the place - both bow and left hand jumping about everywhere. The lack of restraint really brings the piece to life- love it!

[getsuga97]

I can't that I particularly enjoyed this performance. He simply rushed through all the notes without any thought. Also, his phrasings and ritards made nest to no musical sense. There's no doubt he's a wonderful player in a technical aspect, but he lacks the musicality and insight of an experienced player.

[ivanatotra]

@getsuga97 You just won the stupid man award ..

[getsuga97]

@ivanatotra

Enlighten me. What'd I say that was stupid and how was I wrong?

[derdudeldadelmetal]

THIS IS THE BLACK METAL OF KLASSIK!! xD geiles zeuch, aber dem is wohl echt ein bisschen zu warm. ich warte nur noch bis er anfängt zu headbangen

[Dstrukt2k2]

Never been a fan of Markov's playing style.. and this interpretation of Paganini's 24th caprice is a prime example of why.. I feel like he just chops out the notes with no care for them whatsoever.. using them to showcase his own playing "prowess" rather than interpreting a beautiful piece of music and doing the piece justice.

Nobody will ever play this piece the way Jascha Heifetz did. To my ears that is the single most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard when it comes from his violin.

[Sevnfurdy]

@Dstrukt2k2 Ah yes, the purist. But please note Heifetz's rendition was actually an edit by Leo Auer (taking nothing away from it as it is a technical masterpiece within its own right) but I do believe (and many will agree) that Markov's "interpretation" (very important word and only in reference to this particular caprice) is perhaps closest to what Paganini himself would have either played or wanted to have played like. After all, this is the essential look-what-I can-do piece. jmho

[Thimplum]

WARNING: If you try to play play 3:00 - 3:20 and pluck with the wrong part of your finger, you will be sucking on your left hand for hours. I can't play the passage, but I tried to play Le Ronde le Luitens, and just about tore my left hand off.

[benitesw321]

That last note sent shivers down my spine!

[trevorpinnocky]

watch?v=vPcnGrie__M

[trevorpinnocky]

@masterofpuppets10893. Generally speaking during ensemble playing [trios, quartets, etc..] the additional physical movement is required as it used to convey time to other players since there is no conductor. Excessive body movement, especially in solo work, long term can lead to issues with intonation, technical precision, muscle fatigue and injury, and a host of other things. Watch Heifetz play #24 for a demonstration of maximum efficiency with minimal effort typical of the Russian school

[trevorpinnocky]

@msfattytroll If I weren't already convinced that you were an ignorant jerk I'd take more time to explain the reasoning. It is quite consistent across all contemporary schools of violin pedagogy, not just the Russian school. But as you are clearly not an advanced performer, teacher, or even a reasonable human being, I'd be wasting my breath.

[masterofpuppets10893]

@trevorpinnocky When your in an ensemble it makes sense to stay still. But soloing needs expression. Markov is letting the music flow through him and is expressing the feelings in this piece not just through his playing but also with his body. So what your teacher said doesn't apply here.

[pendehassen]

this fucker is not human! at all!.... i mean it!

[NisseEricsson]

Pure amazing playing

[Zicko1000]

A bit too fast according to me but whatever.

[jhonix016]

perfecto!!!!

[TheWye]

3:02 yo dawg, I herd you like plucking the violin, so I put fingers on your fingers so you can pluck while you pluck

[masterofpuppets10893]

He came to my high school last year and played this. I was sitting there amazed to begin with. When he got to the "tapping" part, I was floored. He also brought his gold plated, 6 string, electric violin. It was awesome.

[aaruizp3]

es realmente hermoso me pregunto como lo habra tocada realmente paganini si esta señor lo toca que pasumecha hermoso no me imagino paganini

[trevorpinnocky]

Beautiful playing, but my teacher would hit him with the bow for moving so much. It's a little over the top.

[reddupo]

@trevorpinnocky

Your teacher doesn't have the right to hit him for anything violin related unless he can come close to his performances.

[msfattytroll]

@trevorpinnocky

If your teacher is such an uptight asshole that he would fault someone for letting their body move expressively while performing then your teacher shouldn't be allowed to teach.

Markov is one of the greatest violinists alive today, and he has no doubt spent countless hours learning and perfecting paganini's pieces.

When your teacher is as renowned as Markov then maybe his opinion will matter.

[LaDeKwando]

I like how he puts his whole body into his playing. Consumed by the vibrations of sound, he performs to please himself. His pleasure emanates to the audience and entrances them to his vibration. Paganini's masterpiece is like analyzing the Mona Lisa, you interpret the art as if it is nothing, then open your mind to the ideals in the art to find our own resolve. Thus Alexander Markov has interpreted Paganini and shared his resolve to the audience for them to apply whatever message they receive. K

[PaulJdeMulatier]

3:01 Amazing. :O

[thevenot1919]

Meraviglioso.

[SanthyRios]

no tengo palabras es un monstruo este tipo es impresionante Paganini fue y siempre sera unico!!!!!

[Illjustwait]

This man is the instrument, and he is an absolute genius! As for Paganini, he was and still is without comparison.

[FCKWnee]

Der Meister!!!

[bianbian428]

I think I just wet myself watching 3:00, paganini was the modern day eddie van halen of his time. How can anyone not like this! No I can see why his viewers thought he sold his soul to the devil. Incredible.

[Karengreen176]

@bianbian428 Respect to Van Halen and everything, but Paganini was a beast beyond reckoning. Paganini can't be compared to anyone.

[09yeahAZ]

Too fast for me, I prefer when there is some flavour in the pizzicati, instead of doing it as fast as possible !

[McSplat]

Phenomenal. 

[daniel123456789a]

This is really amazing I feel really inspired !!

[MinkeSchminke]

the part from 3:01 gives me ....:OOO

[gorrellp]

@MinkeSchminke Im O_O ooooooooooing right now!

[fericore]

"caprice" in spanish is "capricho"??

[promacuser]

This dude looks like Andy Samberg.

[BekaRed]

Angels Cry Solo!



[TubeSpoker]

WOW !!! I tought tha same... seen some renditions of well know players... but THIS IS IT !! As Paganini would like it... so many people saying the same on this guy rendition...really amazing.

[yisney101]

Congratulations!!! YOU ARE AMAZING

i would wish that Paganini live in this times and have the opportunity to see him live in a concert, this would be a magnifficent experience in my life i would give all for see himself playing ALL his pieces.....

Desearia que Paganini viviera en estos tiempos y tener la oportunidad de verlo en un concierto, esto seria una magnifica experiencia in mi vida, lo daria todo por verlo a el mismo tocoar todas sus piezas

IS A CRAZY THNG!!!

[darkestdoll]

OMG!

[Vegio7]

Not a "canonical" execution, but very interesting.

[FranzLisztFerentz]

Bravissimo!!!

[RatedPi]

3:00 put a smile on my face when I was listening to it. I never smile to myself when I'm alone, but this man has managed to make me feel joy for 18 seconds. Markov, you sir, I don't even know what to say.

[SuperSupraWei]

he is very good but itzak perlman's is still the best :)

[Reaccionario1]

3:00

[v1991c]

[fabptitpom]

Wow, stunning performance. Bravo !

[greaseline]

Totally amazing. Whenever I get the rare chance to watch a violin player of this caliber, they look more masterful at what they do than anyone else does at anything ever.

[playsosoft]

the pizzicato part is just stunning.

[MrSmartComment]

It like opened my eyes. I have heard many violinists play this, but my god, this is the best one.

[loinfinitoazul]

[megi1010]

[AhavaRabboh]

It's a Caprice - A free musical form based a lot on improvisation..

[delta9LouDog]

this isnt even a concert piece this is for practicing technique

[cihad2003]

are there some parts missing?

[Crackadackas]

@cihad2003 Not as far as I know. I count all 11 variations here.

[stringer29]

@Crackadackas 11 variations and a finale

[FrikiGir77]

MONSTRUO! <3

[MultiJoSaX]

WOW O_O

[AhavaRabboh]

Paganini really is the devil's son. This sounds so funckin' evil.. SO fuckin' evil...

[romanisayev5005]

How can you dislike this? There has to be something wrong with your ears.

[SYSilovemj]

[salasvalor01]

@JacksRevelation I was going to say that no words could justify defining the greatness of this, until this comment.

[pranhu]

His dynamic is superb. .. Dynamic interpretation is always the key of the spiritual music.

[josieyue123]

a colorful interpretation!!! love 

[MENENETSS]

q cabron

[noonescrying]

Markov needs to be a bloddy drunk and a gambler to be the real Paganini. Thumbs up jajaja

[frowtime]

JESUS! CHRIST  that was just unbelievable ..... and on top of the playing, spining like that sure didnt make it any easier!

[mrbeatlemaniako]

esta loco ese cuate

[chamoi87]

@mrbeatlemaniako pensé lo mismo.. está loco!

[BlackBeThyName]

He's a great player.. but I really can't feel it from him.. note values are missed up with him.. plays certain parts waaaaaay too fast and other parts way slow.. I like best another version on youtube.. but they say "account closed" or something like that.. fortunately I got it as mp3! anyone is welcome if you want me to send it! you'll hear what I mean!!
