Paganini - Caprice no.24, Alexander Markov, violin [HD]

24. Tema. Quasi Presto Variazioni Finale in A minor

This performance of one of the most challenging scores in the violin repertory, Paganini's 24 Caprices, played by the internationally celebrated violinist, Alexander Markov, recorded in Reggio Emilia, Italy. It combines intense passion with extraordinary technical ability. Director Bruno Monsaingeon, himself a concert violinist, first heard Markov during a recital in New York entirely devoted to the Caprices and was left utterly dumbfounded. He says of that concert, "the technical difficulties, as if naturally overcome, had been replaced by an incandescent musical imagination which made the Paganini Caprices a thrilling experience, far removed from the school-masterly and cautious approach of most violinists." Sir Yehudi Menuhin says "Alexander Markov will certainly leave his mark on the music-lovers of the world and in the annals of the violin virtuosi of our day. He is without doubt, one of the most brilliant and musical of violinists." Mstislav Rostropovich says: "Once I managed to hear his performance of the 24 Paganini Caprices on TV I am certain that he is one of the most interesting young violinists of his generation in the entire world."

Markov gives this piece a complete new content. Maybe he is the first who really has understood the secret how the "devil's violinist" Paganini has bewitched his listeners. It was not only the technique ...

[kacharov]

@MartinRaetzJr Yes indeed, your right! I totally agree with you, it was not only technique, it was soul!

Thanks a lot for your nice comment!

It's just that when I listen to this version, I can't help thinking it needs the Vanessa's tap dancers to push it over the edge.

But it's not as good as Vanessa Mae's version is it? You know the one with the tapdancers.
