  • She is a marvel!

  • Не айс

  • Now they just need Ozzy to sing.

  • Ara Malikian está entre los músicos!!!!! Min. 4:13 / 4:17

  • Me encanta Paganini y me encanta Vanessa Mae pero no me gusta esta version del caprice, aunque como bien han dicho antes, para gustos los colores :) Yo solo dejo mi opinion, y hay que reconocer que esta chica es toda una virtuosa del violin, solo por atraverse a tocar a este grande y a tocarlo tan bien como lo hace ^^

  • si estaria tocando sin ese orrible aco,pañamiento sonaria orriblr esta asiatica es pesima

  • 89 personas ni saben que instrumento esta tocando ella, de repente 90 personas me insultaran preguntandome que es un instrumento

  • fantastic, Vanessa .ciao!!!

  • wooooooooooooooooooow

  • bueno, gracias a los padres de la musica, que con sus creaciones han inspirado miles de géneros, mas... sin embargo no se puede consevir opiniones de personas que ignoran los nuevos géneros y expresiones musicales derivadas de las originales... que viva la musica

  • Cómo puede decir al principio "I LOVE PAGANINI?" Si lo quisiera un poco, no le haria este estropicio al pobre..QUÉ MAL TOCA, no tiene ni un mínimo sentido musical, esta dejando a todos los músicos que trabajan muchas horas diarias por los suelos..de qué sirve estar toda tu vida luchando por una plaza en un conservatorio si esta chica, tocando repugnantemente mal, va a ganar millones y millones sólo porque sea guapa? INDIGNANTE. ME REPUGNA.

  • @fallennLeaves No sé si tendrá sentido musical, o cómo lo quieras llamar, pero la gente deja los conservatorios porque , son DO, RE MI..FUSA, CORCHEA, BLANCA ETC....dan poco espacio a la ORIGINALIDAD, y creo que educar en un corservatorio es más que leer partituras e interpretarlas, es necesario espacio para la CREATIVIDAD, te lo dice uno que abandonó el conservatorio y aprendí más con la antigua e.g.b.. Toco viento, cuerda y percusión, LA ESENCIA DE LA MÚSICA ES CREAR, SINÓ NO EVOLUCIONARIA.

  • @sakt3x vale,diciendo que tocas viento cuerda y percu ya me estás diciendo que eres un SIMPLE AFICIONADO. Parece ser que la música está dividida en dos, los profesionales y los aficionados. Los aficionados suelen ser los grupos de rock, que no tienen ni idea de teoria y todo lo que hacen es por afición, nada de virtuosismo, pero es que esta chica, desprestigiadora del violín, se CREE PROFESIONAL y no es más que una simple aficionada, eso es lo que me repugna.

  • Y si, con ese concepto que tienes hiciste mal en apuntarte al conservatorio, porque no has entendido ni el mínimo significado de lo que significa. Es como si vas al instituto y dices que a ti no te enseñen a derivar que tu quieres inventar otra nueva parte de las matemáticas, PUES NO. El conservatorio está para enseñarte a ser profesional, no para que aprendar a cantar con tu grupo de los viernes.

  • @fallennLeaves Cuando Beethoven compuso la Kreutzer, todo el mundo se llevó las manos a la cabeza. A mí no es que estas versión me resulte precisamente sublime, pero para gustos colores, la tolerancia es una virtud. Y el conservatorio está para muchas cosas, no sólo para ser un "profesional" y hacer arpegios como longanizas, sino, que es más importante, también para aprender a amar la música en todos sus sentidos.

  • @fallennLeaves te sientes bien metiéndote con la gente? no tienen culpa de que tengas la mente cerrada a cal y canto "colega", si esa es tu manera de ver las cosas felicidades, muchos de aquí quizá no sepamos mucho de lecciones a vista y todo ese rollo, disfrutamos la música mil veces más, de eso se trata, no de 'ser profesional' qué clase de cosas te han metido en la cabeza...?

    posdata: probablemente, ya te gustaría tocar la mitad de bien que esta chica o sus músicos.

    pd2: increíble 3:34

  • Diana Boncheva is the best!!

  • Heh, interesting comment below on "deforming" other artists work.

    I think before we judge something like that, we should remember that reinterpretation is and have always been part of art throughout history - be it in music, painting or poetry.

  • If someone is interested in contemporary but classical authors I suggest you STEFANO SEMPRINI's SONATAS FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO - that are now edited by ArsMusica Edizioni (Rome). You can easily check them on the official website and on internet!

  • Si se levantara de la tumba Paganini, no se me parece que el italiano con el genio estrambotico que tenia, la estrafuca.....ay...ay...que manera de deformar las grandes obras del arte musical.....por favor, gente asi que haga musica pop...rock...blue....pero Paganini....Beethoven...????? Vanessa Mae...a las cosas!!!!

  • oowwww me encantaaa! >.<

  • Rien à voir évidemment avec Alexander Markov, mais ce n'est pas mal du tout !!!

  • Comment removed

  • que solo de bateria tan MALO!!!!!! XD

  • amazing...

  • Bach,Rossini...and now Paganini...¿serial killer?

  • si que esta chica toca bien, es excelenteeeeeeee

  • when I saw the tap dancers I shit my pants from laughing xD!!!!

  • Manifestement, elle fait ce qui lui plait, elle a bien raison de le faire !

    Vanessa Mae est une vraie grande artiste contemporaine, mariant avec le plus grand bonheur le classique et le moderne. Et de plus, elle est fantastiquement belle !

  • Vanessa is the best violinist i know and she moves all my senses!!!

    Music played by Vanessa is simply touching for the brain , the hart , the soul , the mind and also it does make my feet move in ways they never moved before!

    Vanessa... please keep on moving me!

  • Bastante pobre técnicamente el toque de esta mujer... toca como una estudiante. Igual está bien... qué se yo... =/

  • @Andore23 If you do your best, my respect for you ... Could you give me names of good violinists, as you, who do not appear to students?

  • @justyf3r Que yo no pueda tocar como Vanessa Mae, no minimiza el hecho de que ella toque mal. Obviamente yo no estoy a ese nivel, pero eso no me impide hacer ciertas apreciaciones. Realmente me parece un error de parte de ella tocar este tipo de repertorio, sencillamente porque no le da el cuero, no le sale bien. Le falta técnica y sonido. Encima ni siquiera está bueno el arreglo que hicieron para la banda. No me gustó y me parece que tengo todo el derecho de expresarlo... qué se yo, bancatelo.

  • esta tb es mi otra favorita de vanessa :P

  • I've been looking at Vanessa's videos for a long time. I enjoy them very much. She is a very gifted musician. Her music is absolutely great!

  • Maestra!!! de grande quiero ser como vos...

  • @agosdiarios opino lo mismo

  • 2.22 is faked - she's playing an octave with her fingers, not a chromatic scale.

  • Thanks again Vanessa. This remindes me of a 70's recording by a German group called "Pink Mice".. Brilliant.

  • WTF

  • los que critican no saben mucho de música dicen que no tiene técnica ya quisieran tocar como ella

  • @agosdiarios es muy cierto lo que dices, hay muy pocos conocedores de musica hoy en dia

  • The staccatto should be preformd with the left hand!

  • sei solo una troietta stronza che si vende al miglior offerente !

  • naja bin besseres gewonnt arme vanessa schlechtes arrangement...

  • @paga2359 Zum Glück sind Geschmäcker unterschiedlich ;-) ihr anderes Zeug is zweifelsohne mindestens genausogut, vieles sogar besser, aber dieses Stück sticht durch die Individualität hervor. Etwas in der Art hab ich sonst noch nie gehört, und finde es auch sehr fesselnd. Bis auf den Flötenpart..der war bisschen Durchfall. Aber das Stück im Studio aufgenommen wär sicher bombastisch.

  • I love the music...but the quality of the video is bad....

  • poor Paganini..

  • @Leah55551 i disagree.Paganini was the best rocker of his century if we can say that....Very good try for my

  • awesome

  • Nice, i can her it on music Carry On - Angra. :)

  • man there are 60+ ,(yes, plus, becuase there is a countinue count for a future idiots), did not like this. wow amazing,

    So if your musicly challenged, you wont like this

    ME LOVE LONG TIME

  • I just love her music.

  • I saw this show live... bloody amazing plus had a chat with Vanessa at the end... nice girl

  • I LOVE <3<3

  • Vanessa is spot on when she says that good music is timeless and will never age, regardless of the instrument on which it is played. This is what many traditiionalists seem unable to accept, and hence they remain stuck in a time-warp

  • Maybe it's a sound issue that's beyond the performance. I'm just not loving this video right here. I like the version that's more techno. I like more traditional performances of it as well. Heck her reggae version of Classical Gas is starting to grow on me. So it's not an I hate Vanessa Mae thing. It's just that this particular video/performance sounds off and cluttered.

    I don't have perfect ears and I own that. It just sounds off and cluttered to me.

  • I cant believe people fight over whether she is talented or not. Shes obviously doing something right to be world reknown for her abilities. Ihave no complaints on her music. It sounds fantastic to me. Its sad that some people have nothing better to do than bash another artists work. Man up and put a vid up of yourself doing better... Step up or shut up. :D

  • It's so laughable that all the critics on here offer absolutely nothing in comparison between Vanessa Mae and themselves. She's getting paid and she is one great violinist. There is a Bach vid of her on here that shows her talent as it really is. She's better than most of you all playing with one hand.

    e-critics are a joke.

  • This is for stupid indeed. Stupids who believe they listen to classical music (with no effort or concentration at all) "Candy" version.

    Who wants to create a group in FB called "I hate Vanessa Mae" :) that would be great

  • If we compare this to any really good violinist this is laughable.

    The most funny thing is that she makes faces like "Look how great I am" LOL, you are a fucking joke.

  • This is horrible.

    For stupid people that have never played violin and know absolutely about music this is probably the most awesome thing they have ever heard.

    But the reality is that this absolutely sucks, first of all the beginning. It sound really horrible in an electric violin.

    Also why in all the difficult passages she has a band behind her playing very loud exactly the same as she is playing?

    About the left pizz stuff I wont even talk

  • @Underheifetz Really? You play it then.

  • @Tralman1965

    Dont worry, I have already played this Caprice. (in a normal violin, the original version and without a band helping me).

    There are some very good violinists like Samvel Yervinyan that really have great skills and does not play only calssical music music.

    But there are also people like Vanessa mae or Edvin marton that are far from being really strong violinists and stupid people think that they are the real deal

  • Nunca habia escuchado esta cancion pero vanessa la interpreta bien, me gusto mucho es genial!! :D

  • super :)

  • fitte6 you are an idiot if you think Vanessa "dumbed down" the orginal piece because she couldn't handle it. She is twice the musician you'll ever be and she is one of teh best violinists in teh world, so keep keep your trashy comments to yourself.

  • This sucks ass as Cartman would say. This is possibly the worst version I ever heard, wonder why she had a band back her up and drown her out during the left hand pizzicato. (is it just me or does she leave out all the actually technically demanding passages in her exploitative and dumbed down "versions" of popular classical tunes?) As Classical music, it is vapid trash. As Pop music, it is pretentious nonsense.

  • good i like it....

  • why why why does it sound like cats singing??? kudos for trying to make it 'modern', but personally i wouldn't turn Paganini's music into something fit for pub/clubhouse - it just doesn't work.

  • In my opinion that's horrible...

  • How great could this sound if she could actually play the violin properly...

    I was actually happy when the guitarist took aver and put her out of her misery.

  • ...ANY violinist would kill her for this, to take a old piece by PAGANINI and make it into a rock, what ever.

  • I dont like it, sounds horrible especially when your a classicaly trained violinist

  • @ericgable, and I supose YOU are a classical trained violinist? shut up

  • @AlexeySankoPosada Yes, actually i am. I actually play the violin, and train under a VIOLINISt who got taught by Josef Gingold, and who lives with a famous concert master who trained under a famous belgian violinist called Arthur Grumiaux, and who is also chosen to be one of the top national teachers. AND yes, i play nothing but classical music, and i actually prefer BAROQUE music if you even know what that is. Go learnt he violina nd you will find this video a offense and bad.

  • @ericgable oh, who are you trying to impress, a jury? A VIOLOINIST who got taught by Josef Gingold.. oh, and that faamous concert master is?? Let's suppose for a moment all of these achievements are true. For the sake of it, WHO are you? as i see it, you are neither a recognized violinist, NOR a great musical mind. If you were half of what you say you are, and had half of the knowledge passed on by these great teachers, you would know how to appreciate the work of a fellow violinist.

  • @ericgable Even more if it is something as revolutionary as mixing the famous classical work of any famous composer. I sense you are kind of jealous.. maybe, if you are the musician you say you are, you are a FAILURE, and the success of a violinist on doing such work just pisses you off. Yes I know what BAROQUE music is, I am son of two musicians, but, unlike you, I don't feel the need to brag about my accomplishments or my musical studies.. a pice of advice, learn how to write.

  • and have a little of musical taste.. being so narrow minded and idiotic with your "grand" musical talent and taste will only bring you trouble. It's great that someone has the guts to mix something as great as it is classical music with rock. that's called innovation. Plus, I see HER playing at a stage many other famouse classical pieces and they are great, do YOU get to play in that kind of stages? or dou you keep playing at your mom's basement or in a pathetic family reunion.

  • You, you pathetic excuse of a musician, go and hang yourself just for thinking that YOU can judge something like this.. IF you don't like what you see, just close the window and move on with your life.. these kind of comments are trash and won't change the fact that SHE is the one playing wonderfull music and innovating, and you, well, don't.

  • @AlexeySankoPosada You are so pathetic, lol you make me laugh. What about you make yourself look as bad as vennessa Mae does on this performace. This is total failure, changing a top classical piece into trash. And such kid come backs, which really didnt make sense... Your just a loser who doesnt know music when you hear it.. and In my opinion you can go burn in hell because i really feel sorry for you. Oh and learn the violin, i swear you kids watch these videos but dont even know how to

  • @ericgable How is it possible that someone who can not write properly claims to be an expert when it comes to music???? Go and learn how to write and then learn about music. It seems to me you have a lot to learn!!!

    You will need all the help you can get, but maybe you''ll be smarter then your professors, you know it all!

  • @AlexeySankoPosada I do get to play in places like that...

  • it is really horrible

  • love her version of paganini...what is her nationality

  • adopted daughter of two britsraised from infancy

  • I liked it, and that's all that really matters to me.

  • the beginning is so good!

    but my interpretation would sound totally different..

  • 48 thumbs down? there are some really dumb fucked up-shit for brains blokes out there! this was just amazing

  • @mashmnky

    WTF? Only 48 thumbs down? It sounded__ horrible. This was extremely crap playing and arrangement. She skips the difficult parts, plays it in a very slow tempo and is on playback to boot. Any violinist who plays in an orchestra can breeze through this spectacle. "fantastic thing about good music" would be to play it up to its worth. If Paganini lived, he would stub her with his bow after listening this - if he could get through the gay tap dancers that is.

  • @fitte6 Don' make paganini look so bad, haha he's dead, but the music will go own, for me it was not that good, but that's not a reason to hate her

  • wow es increibleee

  • Amazing, truly and completely

  • Great : D

  • yes she rocks

  • @malota2112 yeah, she really is! :D

  • se discute la vane jejeje!!!

  • one in a time life.  efforts results .great. thank you for sharing.

  • the two juvenile comments must be from from jeveniles who don't know what they hear.

  • Do it yourself instead of stay at hom viewing her videos.

  • I don't "watch" her videos. I watch QUALITY video of some of the pro violinists that I went to school with. I clicked on it and simply feel that she would be better liked in Bangkok.

    P.S. FUCK YOU!

  • LOL

  • wow. Such mature comments. If you don't like it quit coming back to reply. It reveals your desperately lonely existanceto waste your time with comebacks to responses ona videoyou don't even like.

  • Just because you are a Coca Cola lover doesn't mean you have to hate someone with Dom Perignon taste.

  • You assume that I hate you or any music you may find enjoyable. I enjoy most music. There's very little music I don't appreciate. I've come to realize that music is an expression of our souls and should be seen as such. Rather than mocked and criticized because it's not to your taste.

  • It looks like I'm not the only one that notice some "sour notes". My music minister told me that the audience does not know if you mess up on the notes.

  • Superb performance & superb arrangement.

    I agree with brother234 that there are few people who could carry this off successfullly, and I think it is Wow++!

  • Well done on an electric violin :)

  • the audience doesn't realize what they just heard. The fusion of Paganini with rock is incredible daring from someone who is only 1 of a handful in the world capable of this, and she took it to a new level indeed. Wow is all i can say.

  • @brother234 True, they seem somewhat dumbfounded by the experimental nature of some of the harmonics too. And it is a bloody complex arrangement to boot, some argentinian tango even, at 3:25 then..PLOP Classic/jazz at about 3:45 wow..just wow..

  • Incredible. Even if she didn't play the original version she still played a great piece of music. As a fellow violinist I know how hard this is. Vanessa BRAVO!

  • although she did mess up on some parts I still believe this to be an excellent performance I think she did Paganini well well it doe sound a little bit to modern but it still sound brilliant

  • bravi

  • no matter what notes she messed up (i'm not really sure if there are many people qual. enough to say which she did and didn't) It was still well done and beautiful, as are many of her pieces. Its not a matter of perfection its a matter of beauty, music is written and played to sound beautiful, shes in concert for god's sake, meaning its pretty dang good. lol

  • @KailaNight Even Heifetz, Kreisler, Sarasate, and Paganini messed up notes in concert; it's part of the game of playing a non fretted instrument live. Personally, I like this rendition a lot because it takes my favorite composer and makes it new and fresh. Also, I love the Castlevania-esque feel at 2:56. :P

  • quelli dietro che fanno il tip tap sembrano degli scozzesi ubriachi!

  • no me gusta en absoluto no me prece que haga nada del otro mundo tecnicamente y ademas creo que hace añicos una tremenda pieza de clasica.. no es serio..

  • nice legs

  • VANESSA MAE has ignited my soul on fire and brought down the house she is a real ROCK STAR.  she is a music GODDESS...

  • WOW she is so AMAZING i just want to cry. i love it when women can rock the house and ignite my soul on fire. she is a ROCK STAR in my book. ROCK on sister girl. watch out SHAKIRA hear comes VANESSA MAE.

  • mis respetos para esta mujer la verdad es un az de la musica con violin

  • I have this song and it's a pain in the ass.... so i say all ya'll who hate this song should shut the hell up... i love it....

  • To tazman1066: That's the kind of thinking that will prevent this generation of musicians from having a future, you're rejecting the electric violin because it has a different unique sound. That's pretty closed-minded, and I don't think Paganini would approve.

  • @tazman1066 But music is free, all that produces good sound is music, while the bad sound is noise. The E.violin produces music, not noise.

  • Suena raro, pero aun asi me parece impresionante, nadie como vanessa

  • This China Girl is the greatest, and I like her boldness. Rich man rich, go girl go.

  • It's certainly something that can draw someone other than stuck up music snobs ;) Seriously, music is here to be enjoyed by everyone. So it's the realm where saying 'live and let live' couldn't be any more true.

  • I'm gonna be honest and say that I like this.

    :D

    Boohoo freakin hooo if I have a shitty taste in music or shit like that.

  • thank you, and thank you very much. :)

  • wow

  • Left hand at 2.22. some funny business is going on!

  • i agree - i didn't know it was supposed to sound like a march...

    the ending is WRONG!!!

  • V. Mae have great talent but, I don't think this song is her best, it's like combining modern and classic thing but not going too well, , It's like ordinary song not a really special. .So, I guess V. Mae could be more better than this , ,

  • I won't be as vocal as hellomate639, but it IS a bit of a shame how careless V-M can be about her phrasing and pitch when she plays live - especially when she feels entitled to jump around during the simple bits... very bad idea.

    I mean, if you want to convey great music to the masses, no matter how tonedeaf those masses are - you still have to concentrate on what you play and on HOW you play it - for the sake of your masters... otherwise it really IS "f##king blasphemy" rather than a homage...

  • In one word: CRAP.

  • -_-....this is stupid.

  • dont like that chaos... no musical or cultural worth. degradation..

  • que instrumento é aquele que parece uma flauta??

  • This video makes me feel like I'm watching this chick rip Paganini's heart of of his chest, and then putting it on a plate and eating it, while saying that Paganini likes it.

    How would you feel if you watched a loved one killed in front of your eyes? That's how I feel when I watch this.

  • Then dont watch it silly. You have a lot of hate that could probably be used more productively then telling everyone on this site how much you hate V.Mae...so shoo.

  • Well, you'd hate someone who slaughtered something you love too.

  • Well disliked perhaps, which is all the more reason why I'd ignore the fact that the 'someone' had even done so in the first place.

    I looked up the Heifetz you suggested. It certainly sounded better but to me it is still too chaotic and a bit like nails on a chalkboard really. Especially Heifetz version. The only bit i like is the beginning.

    And of course its just a cover, i dont think V.Mae writes any of her own stuff (I think?).

    So yeah, we get it...you hate it. Move on.

  • i dont really see where all of your antipathy is coming from. i like the song, although it's nothing like the original, it's creative how she remixed it. i appreciate that. so i'll say it again I LIKE THE SONG

  • It's an insult to classical music.

    This is one of the greatest works by a great composer. To compose works like this, one needs tens of thousands of hours of effort put into musical and compositional skills.

    No one does that anymore to compose. The practice is old and subsequently sacred. To add in electronic sounds and call it an improvement is absolutely disgusting.

    People poured their souls into understanding music enough to create thigns like this.

  • Literally thousands of years have gone into making classical music into what it is.

    Pythagoras discovered the musical scale almost 2500 years ago. Since then, composers, bards, and other musically oriented people have been perfecting the art of the relationship between tones.

    Anyone who likes this has little ability to understand music.

    This rendition of the piece is akin to taking a 100 year old whisky and then pouring grape soda into it.

  • well maybe some people like grape soda and whiskey, if you can get the analogy. it's two separate categories. the beautiful classical era and NOW, where artists tend to twist classical songs. it's not like she eradicated the original, she just made another. love it or hate it; but i still respect her audacity and creativity with all the aspects she put in the song

  • You see, when you put grape soda in 100 year old whisky, you destroy the essence of the whisky. One who would put grape soda in 100 year old whisky would not be able to appreciate the complex flavors of the whisky and all the history that it represents.

    Clearly, no one who watches this appreciates the essence of the song itself.

    I'm almost certain V. Mae did this to gain popularity amongst people who have no taste, rather than express herself.

  • sure, if i liked the taste of soda and 100 yr old whiskey. why not? try something. and she didn't jst add a electronic sound, she added dance elements, and other instruments, a different rhythm. and if you'd really shoot yourself before adding an electric sound into a classical piece, then you have some serious issues. I plan to own a electric violin and play the song like this right after i've learned the original. For Christs sake, ACCEPT THE DAMN SONG! what is so bad about it!

  • and who said anything about hip hop? i sense no hip hop whatsoever. at least know your genres. The twist she adds is something all her own, it's like jazz or swing. and it doesn't 'shred any meaning as a classical piece'

  • The fact that you'd actually defile a something like a 100 year old whisky means you have the sophistication of your common KKK member.

  • considering the fact that i'm Black, and that you don't have the balls, consideration, or i don't know, maybe a little open mindedness means you have the mindset of your common KKK member. power to the People.

  • I'm part Black.

    I didn't say mindset either. I said sophistication.

  • i know what you said, i'm saying that YOU have that mindset. like it has to be one way, and that way only. everything else is wrong. did you ever give this song a chance? i didn't like it at first, i had to listen to it a few times and figure out all of it's aspects; what i liked and what i didn't like. but i didn't just degrade the song and V Mae because it's not like the original

  • Interesting piece but its too chaotic for my liking.

  • This isn't Paganini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SHE'S A FUCKING BITCH WHO NEEDS TO DIE FOR FUCKING UP GREAT MUSIC!!!!!

  • what the hell is ur problem mister.

  • This is like putting up a disco ball in a Gothic cathedral in the middle of a sermon. Its aweful, its like paving over great music with cheap, modern, and overly simple crap.

    It COVERS the piece. You probably only like this because the original piece is good. Try looking up Heifetz playing caprice 24. Maybe after that, you'll get why I hate this so much...
