Love this piece soooo much (pagnini caprice no.24). One of the hardest violin music piece ever made.

if you murder every violin player, you'd technically be the current best violin player, so just sayin'

Thanks for this! Looks like Kremer is deliberately giving us a rockstar interpretation of Milstein's rockstar remix of Paganini's rockstar bits/caprices. How far can you push the envelope? Really far if you're Gidon Kremer :> I love his mad swoops and swells and his thunderous playfulness with this. I found Kremer through Piazolla's Fugata (w. Andrei Pushkarev), another great mad bit.

@happyfunnyfoo - Actually in this instance there are quite a lot of missed notes (and it's not due to the recording - preservation of rhythm & tempo together with duration and tonality of the notes is incompatible with this).
That said, and whilst perfect intonation is normally essential for me to shower high praise on a performance, this is a rare exception - I think it's sensational.

取り憑かれていますね。

Love Him!!
In complete and serious honesty, I would murder someone to play like this. However, since murder won't make me play like this, I'm stuck practicing. :-(
