  • personalmente prefiero la interpretación de Alexander Markov

  • I love the finale to this piece. I could just keep playing back those few seconds at the end all day long. And Julia is magnificent, as always!

  • Dear boring girl, this is not how Paganini should be played

  • i love you so much bitch

  • I can play this on guitar, and in G minor, not the easier version. And let me tell you holy shit its hard.

  • @Shmucko21 you should try it on violin.

  • @BlckComb I wouldnt even dare haha

  • Girl, you ARE the music!! =D

  • She is the best violinist of the world!!!!

  • I can't feel emotions :( it's sad....She plays perfectly,but where is heart? Where is the love?

  • @LeonkaStar Just because she doesn't play it over-pathétique doesn't mean there is no heart in this performance. She's taking on this piece in her own way, and that is far more admirable than trying to play it like any other mediocre violinist (all exaggerating expressions to make their performance seem more true than it actually is). If you can't feel the love in her playing, maybe the problem lies with you, rather than her, 'cause I'm telling you: it's there!

  • you know I've never understood how a violinist can hit each pitch accurately with their fingers when there aren't any frets...

  • @MapleLeafAce, is not this hard, you just have to practice

  • shes playing it kinda slow though.... isnt she?

  • It looks really fake... to make

  • Impresionante..

  • Hahn>Fischer

  • Le re doy

  • great job!

  • id drink her bathwater

  • To think, this is one of the easiest of the Paganini Caprice (I believe 13 is easiest, then 16, at least for most people), since you don't do two notes at once in this song, its just REALLY fast

  • She played all the notes. Now, she needs to learn how to play with feeling.

  • @danger359 Moron.

  • @danger359 i am nobody to say that, but i think this is not an italian interpretation..i don't think an italian violinist like Paganini would have played it like this.

    Italian people don't aim at perfection, they aim at being personal, fresh, original.

    this is our limit, our problem, but our difference from other cultures as well.

    but, no doubt, she plays perfectly!

  • @claviolino

    Goddess! It 's damn true

  • @claviolino yeah... sounds so german... as if its like a bach partita.... listen to alexander markovs version he really brings out the style of this piece

  • @danger359 What a nonsense comment. Typical of ppl that cannot achieve such level of skills

  • @danger359 she does play with feeling

  • @danger359 yes, she does play with feeling. it has a playful feel to it. i do not know what you are listening for, but there is plenty of feeling there.

  • Comment removed

  • @danger359 She plays with vigor, energy and enthusiasm. These are feelings and it pleases me to hear them. I disagree with your assumption that a violinist of this high level doesn't know how to play with feeling.

  • I'm supposed to play this on my violin exam in a month. I'm 15!

  • @ArendosPL yet no one gives you sympathy

  • 49 people missed the like button:)

  • She visit my School :D

  • great technique and a nice sound but not enough madness @o@

  • what can i say.

    SHE IS THE BEST!

  • love her musicality, amazing, cool

  • i love this woman

  • Esta es la clase de mujeres que necesita el mundo: belleza y talento combinadas

  • now thats awesome. 

  • Much too slow, I think, that's the tempo I'm struggling with at the moment, hoping to get faster but this way it sounds like Kitsch, pardon me, an operette, schmalzeretta. Why does she waste sound playing in the upper half of the bow ? This probably makes it slower.

  • maybe I'll learn to play this too :D

  • @BeautifulMusic1000 loool!!

  • I wish I could play this. : / Maybe i will. :D

  • Awesome playing and looks!

  • mmm not the best... i like Markov´s version...

  • @KraneosCorvus Markov does not play all the notes.Perlman plays it great!

  • Julia is just lovely, she's obviously got great techniques, but she never gives in to the temptation to show off.

  • I'd bang her without shadow of hesitation.

  • WOW!!!!!! This is amazing!

  • Her hair is more important than her violin; she hits her violin with her bow before she begins playing:-(

    Playing is fantastic of course...

  • that's a Radio-violin !!! hahaha !!!! hahahahaah !!!

    she's got a button in some place... jajaja just kidding

    it's my new love !!! im F&·&·"ing love U !!!

  • Sorry, too slow. For the polyphony to come through this caprice has to be played way faster than that (A. Markov is playing it too slow as well). I've actually witnessed it performed at a proper pace once some 20 years ago. That was unforgettable.

  • BRAVURA!

  • exelente

  • I like this tempo compared to Markov's which is just too fast to even understand what he's playing. This is more peformance to me than Markov, I play it that fast in the practice room only... I don't want people watching me sweat like a greased pig.

  • Fantastic Violinist!!!

  • @melpost hoo shut up!!!

  • se me afigura..que no..tiene cariño..de sus padres

  • I don't think she has to prove her techniques and I don't think that she has problems with her technique.

    She is a great musician and has amazing musical sense. You should listen to the four seasons or bach's violin concertos in her performance to fully appreciate her.

  • I agree with you. Her playing is nice and clean. I only said that she could play it a bit faster.

  • The idea that this could be "slow" just frightens me. "Very slow" is beyond belief. But yes, it could be a shade quicker :P

  • Easiest? For whom? Give her some credit!

  • verdadero talento ke excelso!!!!! paganini estaria muy agradecido ke un talento komo esta mujer, sepa interpretar a la perfeccion sus maravillosas obras maestras,x beethoven ke talento!!!!!

  • AMO ESTA MUJER !

  • su voz y ella hacen que aun que tocara pesimo la vieramos como la mas virtuosa que si lo es claro !!!

  • Bellisimo!!!!

  • genio

  • i must say i dont like it so much. her movements are scaring

  • This capriccio was written probably around 1805, but published only in 1820 with the other Paganini's capricci.

  • this is sick.

  • This is in a baroque- like style. However, it was written by a romantic composer in the romantic time period.

  • Actually, they were written at the end of the Classical period.

  • :O dang

    i'm trying to learn this on guitar

    wish me luck!

  • same and it's ridiculous

  • It's very challenging, and very rewarding for a guitarist to learn this. I learned it for guitar as my audition piece to the Berklee college of music. Good luck to you!

  • @NightmareRitual how did the audition go? i'm going for Mcnally Smith. i'm going to be playing Bite of the Mosquito by John Petrucci. it's pretty crazy and ridiculously fast. it's a lot like flight of the bumblebee

  • I've learned this on guitar for my audition to Berklee as well, i have yet to audition though. May i ask how did it go? What tempo would you recommend?

  • sick.

  • this is the easiest paganini's caprice eva!!!

  • I wouldn't say easiest, but yeah it's definitely one of the easier ones. It's nonetheless challenging at a faster tempo than this.

  • Gosh, she really attacks it, doesn't she? She's all about attitude. It really sounds vibrant and modern in her hands.

    I think I'm in love. :)

  • naja hört sich voll hektisch an is net so mein ding mag eher so langsame nachdenkliche sachen aber julia hatts schon drauf muss man schon sagen

  • Very Feminine!

    Very nice musicality,

    Just Perfect!

  • very very beautiful

    5 stars

  • OMG! this is the piece jack nicolson plays in the witches of eastwick where he's teaching susan sarandon! hahah

  • time...time !!!

  • My violin teacher says that I should play this at at least 120bpm for quarter note. All of the notes here are sixteenths. The marking is Allegro, so it really should be much faster than 120, but it is also important to have precision with the notes as well, so if this is as fast as she can play this with this kind of precision, than good for her.

  • It's played baroque, that's sad...but great talent...

  • Baroque?...surely not.

  • Comment removed

  • what then...21st century music?

  • Paganini fits into the early Romantic period (c. 19th century). Baroque composers, such as Bach, were 17th- or early 18th-century. :)

  • beautiful

  • She is pure talent ! And so young... Brava Julia Fischer !

  • god this is the very first time that i hear her and im speechless...AWESOME!

  • although the melody is a bit slow, I think the interpretation is delicious.

    Greetings!!!

  • sounds like the tempo is 180 bpm, i dont know the real tempo its supposed to be though...

  • all of you shut the "f" up none of us have a right or the talent to judge ... she's absolutely awesome. I think you need to hear and see some other work of hers as well and not just attempt to judge this one work .. oh yea, did i mention " shut the "f" up" ??

  • oh dear god.........................th­ank you for actually saying that instead of worrying about whatever the hell the violinist or composer thinks ore cares for. everyone sits hear and criticises these absolutely amazing musicians, but cant play anywhere near they're level. plus most of the people leaving stupid comments are teenagers that dont know what they are talking about and are probably just amatuers.

  • MY opnion.. i like it faster...

  • as for stupid comments what do you expect this is youtube and some aren't the brightest and especially not some of the nicest people in the world. a large majority of commentors on youtube are losers and big mouths with nothing better to do than to criticize something they could never do. for a live performance it was very well played. if they don't enjoy it they should shut and move on.....

  • I totally agree 100%

  • well that was os os , thats backwards for so so... a bit slow and some off tones...

  • im 100% sure julia fischer, one of the best living violinist in the world, could play it faster if she wanted to, and faster than you for one thing. if this tempo suits her interpretation then just let it be. virtuosity does not have to do with speed

  • every time i hear a piece of music, there's allways people criticising the way it's played.. for starters every musician as a different approach on the piece, secondly, the emotions the piece of music brings is different to different people, so.. if she likes the way it is.. she will play it like it is, if you don't like it, try to find a version that suits you.. i'm a violinist too.. =)

  • sorry...are you joking? are you able to play this like she is doing? i don't think so..I can't understand..why the poeople always make a stupid comments...I play the violin too..paganini is hard to play..very hard...

  • On second thoughts------Hungarian.(Well,­Hungarian good violinist---that`s a given).

  • Just a slight correction to my comments about "speed".I have just seen Vilmos Csikos play this and in almost identical time .He seems to linger a fraction of a second longer on the G string notes that are stressed and this gives much more musical shape to the piece . Why does GREECE produce so many wonderful violinists?I think he`s Greek--name like that.

    If you all disagree in your normal abusive way maybe we should have P.B. times for every player .Save all this listening. ( P.B.Personal best)

  • Well I must tell you all you are completely wrong.(all due respect).The piece would be much more musical played at 2/3 this speed.The "playful "high notes are rushed (musically I mean).The piece needs some rubato and forget the ROTTWEILLER chasing you.For Paganini this piece is more musical than usual.The audience (any audience) has SLOWER EARS than a virtuoso and you must remember this as much as the notes.Now run along children it`s time for your orange juice.

  • haha. paganini's compositions are very musical.... but the whole point is to be a show-off at the same time. haha. i mean, his pieces were so fast and technical as to convince the masses that he WAS IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL. haha. when he died, the church wouldn't even bury him on holy ground! since i, for one, can't speak for anyone else being right or wrong... i don't. haha. in my OPINION, she interpreted the piece just fine. where's my orange juice?

  • Arrogante Person und nur mäßiger Durchschnitt.

    Der Ton und die Tragfähigkeit ist ein Witz. Jascha Heifetz, Nigel Kennedy, Hilary Hahn, Gidon Kremer, dass sind die wahren Größen!

  • She's amazing!!! :))

  • whoa, she is playing it really really slow :/

  • This sounds more like Bach then Paganini! Where's the flare?

  • she kind of looks like Jacky Du Pre

  • oh my gosh yes ! Now that you mention it

  • i don't find it too slow at all.. no control my ass, and i don't see anything cold about it. it's just a good performance, no overdone showy attitude, and beautiful sound.

  • what is this "Broken English sentence" supposed to mean. Does it even have a meaning in the English language? Did u mean she's only "a" woman?.. In that case demeaning her skills? ... Or are you just a Run of the mill idiot? Even idiots have categories, and u rank at the very lowest of them all.

  • Thank you... She is only "a" woman....

  • Listening to the ATVANCE version

  • It lacks a sort of structure. It's hard for the listener to understand. In fact, it would be hard for someone to understand who had played the piece before. A typical audience member would listen to this and think, "wow, she's good", and then wonder why they're so bored after about 10 seconds. Still, it's not bad.

  • More jaka italjanka, treba Emil da mu go otsviri kapri4oto da vidi Italjankata kako se sviri. Ama sepak Emil pojke go biva za HARMONIJA da resava sopran. hahaha :) lol

  • Brilliant!!!

  • brillant !!! me encantaria tener unas clases co ella

  • Damn she's good.

  • Comment removed

  • aahhh brilliant! very nice tone and accents!

  • Divine

  • hey

    you're dumb

  • You try playing it.

  • its easy to be a jerk in the internet

  • Post it. I want to hear your interpretation. You've made me curious.

    P.S. Almost perfect intonation is just another way of saying out of tune.

  • I can't believe there are so talented young violinists like Julia in the world. A great artist indeed !

  • Damn she pwns! So much feeling :D! Nice accentation the right places!

  • Very very niceeeeeeeeee

    5 stars

  • my favorite caprice. :)

  • I talked to Julia one week ago as we have mutual friends. She said after the inter-mission, both jet-lag and exhaustion would hit her like a ton of bricks. However, she always perseveres. Recently she is on tour with St. Martin, her encore piece is predictably Mozart's Divertimento KV 138. They always play the same piece for encore so that they don't need to rehearse. Never-the-less, fatigue do set in because she is so intense, that's what makes her playing immensely enjoyable. A true artist.

  • bardzo ladnie

  • Honestly, people only watch video to see the smokin' hot Julia Fischer. lol

  • it should be faster, i do agree. But it was pretty good

  • Meh, could use a faster tempo, more emotion and better tuning. Mediocre for the level where she is at (meaning of course she is better than 99% of the population)

  • So in your opinion there are about 65 million violinists as good as or better than Julia?

  • no I was making a general statement not an actual comment on actual numbers. But thank you for pointing out my inconsistantcies

  • He obviously referred to the violinist population, which isn't 6.5 billion, and so I agree that her sub-par interpretation of this piece places her in the 99th percentile of violinists, I mean professional violinists, just in case you bring something up about your 99 nieces also taking violin lessons. This interpretation is missing something integral, I can't point it out from a video, but something's missing.

  • It's very, VERY good indeed... And im not even close to that kind of talent... (Yes, I do play the violin)...

    But I think this sounds too mechanic... And definitely should be faster to make the music live.

    But very, very good.

  • Sounds very dry and anemic ... robotic like ....

  • Markov all the way!

  • She gave us the bird like... 25 times!!!!

    j/k. this is really good, it just seems to lack the emotion that I've heard from other performers

  • I love the deep bass notes. Quite an amazing sound. I wish I could get a sound like that for my lower notes!

  • i think its a bit cold played and kinda of slow...i mean...i know everybody will think now"playing faster doesnt show something blablabla...but....the tempo of this capriccio is vivace...and thats not vivace...definitely not...

  • it def is slower then it's supposed to be, and i actually think - in this piece tempo is very important.

    but, maybe she didn't feel like playing it in the proper speed, just because it was an encore, and she was tired after the concert? she is still human (:

  • isn't the tempo supposed to be presto ?

  • It stradles the fence between gorgeous and widowy cold. Mixed bag for me.

  • The performance was pretty but cold somehow. It was as if she wasn't completely certain how the piece goes and played cautiously because of that

  • cosa vuoi di più??? sssssss....

  • well i don't care what u think... this was impressive!

  • If music exists that's because we need to enjoy beautiful and interresant things... But when I listen to that, I don't feel anything special.

  • me too, she kind of sucks...

  • "If music exists that's because we need to enjoy beautiful and interresant things..."

    Or to show others what a hard-working virtuoso badass you are... or for intellectual challenges composing and analysing "sophisticated" material... way to simplify things.

  • congratulationsssssssss

  • casate conmigo

  • very-good.
