Paganini: Caprice No. 24 (Frank Peter Zimmermann)

This recording was converted from an old VHS from around the early '90s, so not the best video quality.

Enjoy listening to young Zimmermann!

Always comparing comparing comparing...what boring guys you are!!!

Sorry, you are wrong. From Paganini it is originally written like he played.There are other version by Leopold Auer e.g. which is written as false harmonics. I play violin too and I studied this piece as well. In the last variation however he plays a version which is not original but anyway he does a terrific job. This guy is amazing.

This is a reaallly good performance, and a very good performer. Hearing this makes me feel great. Sorry for my english but I have to coment. Great job!

[Th3R3M1nd3r]

Well, I think Jascha Heifetz's version of the last variation is the best. It makes you feel happy when he finishes. Anyone know who wrote it or where I could find the sheet music for his version?

@rrichter1965 It's not impossible to compare violinists and say who's better if you view it through the lense of the original Paganini score. But nowadays his score is considered obscure because his hands were quite large and huge jumps were relatively easy for him, so you are correct in saying that it's impossible to compare today because of the vast number of interpretations of this piece.

@stageoma

To come here and to leave a comment, saying that someone else is better, is just a true idiot"s job!

At least that fucking violinist deserves a little respect!

[Aezandris]

Terrific !

WAHOO !

[steelerfan76]

Congratulations to the performer. T his is the standard in my opinion.

[rrichter1965]

@moparroadrunner69 I adore Mintz and his Paganini, too, but Zimmermann is also really fantastic. It's hard to compare in this case. You just have to decide, what you personally like more, but you can`t say, who's better, as some people try to.

this guy is a fucking god on the violin. absolutely flawless.... gonna start learning this..... and it's going to kick my ass big time.

[hongyimo]

so you compare these two great violinists like car or laptop reviews, right?

[omarov3penguin]

it's obvious he's young here....he's playing perfectly God bless him...i wish i can be like him one day...(but not with my bad violin i have to buy a better one)=)
