So beautiful. I love this peace and Sarasate too.

This is as close to perfect an interpretation as you are liable to get because this is the guy who wrote it.
Even if the technology is limited on this old 78, he knows how to get the sound out of the violin!
thank G*d that this recording exists!
It shows us how this is supposed to be played and what it is supposed to sound like.

This particular recording probably wasn't really how it was "meant" to be played. Technology back then forced recordings to be around 3 minutes tops (like this one). Anything longer would have to be split over both sides (or even multiple discs). If you look at the meter of the sheet music of Sarasate's Caprice Basque, it really seems like he was playing this as fast as he possibly could, to squeeze it all onto one side of a record. A live performance would probably have been a little slower.

Esta si, es la auténtica, Capricho Vasco. Fantástico, fabuloso, extraordinario.

@masael255 no i meant it generally. i know that fingering is a personal choice, but there are so many people that use the exact same fingering as soloists, kinda like they were following a set rule.
anyways, thank you for the response =D

@metalheadlass Do you mean in general or in this piece? One shifts to, say, a D on the G string in order to produce a different timbre of sound. Depending on the sound you, as the artist, are intending to draw out depends on how you wish to play the piece. Also, sometimes it is out of ease if, for example, you need to be in 5th position on the E and can easily shift up to 5th on the A string prior to that passage. There are many reasons. Do you have a specific clarification you need?

wow! his interpretation is matchless!
-
when does one know when one should shift on the strings G,D & A? can anyone help please?
