  • I hate it when someone puts up a criticism and then someone else is like "well why don't YOU play it?" because that is such a weak retort. It doesn't sound like he's really putting a lot into this, like people are saying. It's a difficult piece so I respect anyone who can play it, but I like to hear something spectacular and this is merely...good.

  • So excellent. I love it.

  • having seen him as a kid (teenager) this is extremely easy for him. He's a straight up genius regardless of if you like it or not.

  • @ClassicalGuitarRulez That's not surprising. The "easier" something is, the harder it is to musically capture it. He probably spent so much time trying to master the harder parts and didn't do quite the same with the "easy" parts. Happens to me all the time.

  • very nice i will study at this speed ,i need slow motion like this to learn fast.thank you.antonio.F.

  • Is it normal that he played better the most difficult moments? The ending part is really perfect even if it's extremely difficult, but other easier parts could be played better...

  • wooo!!!! Realmente sorprendente ...una melidia inigualable..xD

  • @solowinterwolf The seller must have wanted to kill himself when he found out it was a strad

  • I know that fortune has favored Mr. Kaplan more than once: in the seventies while in Italy he bought "an interesting violin" from a shop for $5 thousand. The instrument turned out to be the 1685 "Le Marquis Doria" Strad that had been lost in WW2, worth maybe 500 times what he paid for it. Or more. Moral of the story: trust your violinistic instincts.

  • I'd like to suggest that if you're forever measuring one performance against another, one player against another, then you've moved very far off from the direct musical experience. Playing of this caliber falls in the "personal preference" category: you may prefer another rendition, but you can't be "righter" than those who like this one. You can even appreciate differences without having any particular preference. So lighten up, all you sour, jealous critics . . .

  • @mvoce135 I agree, his tone is great.
