Paganini's I Palpiti played by the great Ivry Gitlis. He is such a great master of interpretation and style, this rendition by him is amazing. Just audio, no video, but just the music alone has the power to change the world :)

  • The most imaginative and heart-on-his-sleeve violinist. I LOVE him.

  • I completely agree. :-)

  • wow...really weird playing...unstable and uncertain melodies but rocksolid fast passages!There are violinists that play better and more beautifully BUT...there is something magical and unique in his playing!Paganini would definately approve!

  • Hmmm...I'd have to say that not many can play better or more beautifully than he, you ought listen to more of him and you'd see what I mean. But I certainly respect what you're saying, thanks for the comment :-D

  • Shut up, get some ears.

  • Tremendous !

  • fantastic.

    he definitely plays to his own tune. an absolutely refreshing take on a piece that has been played too metronomely.

    i would have trouble...no, i wouldnt be able to produce his unique sound. ever.

  • THIS is Paganini

  • Being his student, he is one of the greatest performers and teachers. You can listen to my recordings on Itunes. Jeroen de Groot, Amsterdam

  • This man really possesses something unique to himself, the intangible notion of talent that keeps the listener spellbound and curious. A truly great performer, one of his own kind. And to think that I had never heard of him before... Thank you for sharing!

  • this man is great i know that.... breathtaking playing, it is just not boring. if everybody sticks on the notes they see in the music, then after a while, everybody play exactly the same, then we don´t need newcomers anymore... "you gotta improvise the work you see in the music...", you gotta be the Jazzer in classic. I like this a lot. If Beethoven wasnt in that Opinion, he couldnt be Beethoven.

    Maybe "earthy" is better. But I see what you mean, combines the image of the soul of mother earth fertility, life and true beauty with gritty, dusty and even maybe nasty.

    People either love him or hate him and sometimes both.

    He really lays it all out there and puts his heart on his sleeve. At his best there is none better. At his worst, well, I'll leave that to others. This particular recording of course is a tour de force! Marvelous!

  • May I say that ivry gitlis as a dirty sound? maybe dirty isnt the word but if you compare it with hillary hahn of instance... He has a wonderfoul unique vibrato and is sound is unlike every other great violinists sound... His interpretations are simply the best...

  • POWERFUL VIOLIN :))))
