Tibor Varga. Paganini Violin Concerto No 1 mvt 1 part 1

[fingerhorn4]

Another demonstration from Mr Varga on how to produce a super human glorious sound from the violin. I have no idea why he is not regarded as one of the "greats" by even his peers. His sound is just fabulous.

I like this too, but I think Maxim's version is better. Why? :

- I have the studio recorded version of Paganini Concerto interpreted by Maxim (you can figure it out, how the higher quality of recording may improve your opinion)

- Maxim version's is better from the tempo point of view. If you'll compare this version with his, I think you'll notice the difference.

- And others elements.

Hope I've answered your question :) Have a nice day.

Anyway, this is only my opinion.

Mr. Varga has expressed, every note, exactly how he wanted it. He has told the listeners, clearly, that this is how he would interprete Paganini violin concerto No.1. His "deep expressing" style is what I'm looking for everytime when I listen to a violinist's play. He has the magic to making me wanting to listen to him, closely, with full concentration, everytime!

wonderful performance! definitely gives Kogan and Gitlis a run for their money :)

As I listen to this I think about how Mr. Varga did not "major" in speed..he did not seem to worry about speed one whit..but why concern yourself with speed when you play with such pure exquisite beauty..and to my mind...there are some things that are just too fine, too majestic to hurry through..like walking through a museum of fine paintings, or fine brandy...or a few other things I could think of :) Savoring fine things can be very special...

couldnt have said it better myself. the cup of italina coffee should be small and drunk slowly not gulped down in giagantic swigs. a classic car should be admired at length. a beautiful woman should be treated w respect and grace, a panoramic vista should be absorbed slowly......so too w beautiful violin music, savour it and express it put some of yourself in it. excellently done by mr varga. really was a joy to listen to this
