This recording was converted from an old VHS, so not the best video quality.
Sad to say that the 24-etude set was not complete on the cassette. There were only Nos. 1-11., 13, 14, 17, 20 and 24.

Check out young master's incredible technique and the sound (especially for staccati, spiccati and ricochets), musically also intelligent. Recorded in 1981.

  • I love the way the descending harmonic minor scale sounds. It stands out so much, even to my 20th century ears. Does anyone else feel that way as well? But I love the way it sounds, for Paganini to use it in a slow caprice was a wise decision, it is very effective IMO.

    I enjoy Mintz's interpretation of Paganini's Caprices. His technique and body language are well suited to perform them.

  • I think this is my favourite Caprice. It so eerie, and sublime in a way. This is also my favourite recording of Shlomo Mintz's, and my favourite version of this piece.

  • When you listen to it, it almost sounds like there's two violins playing, but there's only one person playing! Amazing! I don't even think that the greatest musicians in our time could even compare to Niccolo Paganini's talent. I wish I could have seen him play in concert.

  • If there was such thing as making love to a violin...well, this would be it.

  • whoever disliked this has absolutely no feeling for music at all as this is one of the most beautiful renditions of the paganini caprices i have ever heard.

  • Looks like Shlomo didn't pay his bills. Maybe the power company will take pity and turn his lights back on in a week or two.

  • @iepuras222 excuse me??

  • @MortenBoHansen hamsel si grafiti

    

  • melodiile lui paganini sunt preferatele mele dupa cele ale lui beethowen

  • So unbelievably clean and precise--If only the audio quality could be a bit better

  • @MortenBoHansen hahahah
