Paganini caprice #24 (violinist - Mark Kaplan)

and how he can play that with so much expression and feeling is beyond me

Maravilloso.

hes not getting all out of the stradivari ...

he plays perfectly good!!! but i actually prefer the Jascha Heifetz' version because of the music there

Unlike Markov (and Paganini), he does not have a particulaly captivating stage presence, which I think is very important for any virtuoso, on any instrument. His execution of the argeggiated passages is also not as refined or at-ease as Markov's is, and his left-hand pizzicato is pathetic in comparison.

OMRLPdedicate....whats amusing is the amount of music Kaplan has to have under his hands for the tons of concerts he had/has...and yet his paganini is still this good...give him 3 days where all he has to work on is paganini 24 and it would be THAT much better....lol...

seriously?....I'd like to see you make an attempt to play this

Please explain to me why I have to be able to do better to be able to criticise him.

You may criticise him in another pleasant way, but it seemed that you're seriously unsatisfied about Mark Kaplan's paganini's interpretation , so i think, you're able to do a better job.=)

How much and how long do u have to practice to be this good! WOW! he haz skillz
