Paganini: Caprice No. 14 (Shlomo Mintz)

This recording was converted from an old VHS, so not the best video quality.
Sad to say that the 24-etude set was not complete on the cassette. There were only Nos. 1-11., 13, 14, 17, 20 and 24.

Check out young master's incredible technique and the sound (especially for staccati, spiccati and ricochets), musically also intelligent. Recorded in 1981.

@MDbam No. he's doing very, very fast string crossings. At some points he is playing on three strings simultaneously

[Sylvain894]

Triple strings : wow !! I found that one more accessible(easier) : using chords like on a guitar touch !

Shlomo Mintz is such an outstanding musician. His handling of this little etude is fresh & unique. The 14th is one that Perlman once dug his bow into while appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He made it look easy with his big, powerful hands. Musically speaking, however, I prefer this rendition. It does, in fact, resemble trumpets.
