@IVlr3vil today s fiddelers have bettter technique

wow, the pizzicato...
-
I was fortunate enough to play in a concert with Mr. Ricci as the soloist and he played this as an encore - absolutely perfectly. Best summed up by our leader - "Well I've just seen it and I still don't believe it!"

recording can never compared with the live in challenge
-
the pizzicato was absolutely amazing the that part of the variations so fast i really like the way he plays like it is nothing with full confidence.

Well, it's not on youtube, but his name is Li Chuan Yun. I think he plays better than Ricci, Kavakos and Zimmerman. I'll try and post it if I can :)
And not to be argumentative but for discussions sake I think Kavakos is better because his intonation and sound quality are better and he doesn't skate over the up bow staccato in the last variation.
Ricci is by far the best. He's around his sixties here, but when young he was unparalleled.
Here is a better idea of his playing.

Dear @IVlr3vil,
It is a direct record from concert in 1973 in hall 'Bulgaria, Sofia. This version is without one variation because maestro has played at end of concert - as a bis .

Dear jimmyd8844,
If this play is pretty and ordinary it means that Zimermann and Kavakos playing are a simple waste. I thing , there are not so good over the You Tube violinists. Really Ricci had played "God save.." as a bis in recital where I have been and this version is not the full.Please, show me better performance t and where I should be pick up.
