Paganini - Caprices 01/ 05/ 24 (Itzhak Perlman / Violin)

Ah yeah I just got this album off iTunes (no I'm not some advertising spam commentor lol). They're fabulous recordings.

are you sure? i'm 99% sure he does the sautille bowing.

really how do you know?

unbelievable, note that in no5 he does the correct bowing, three notes on the down bow one note on the up bow. Many others just do four separate bows, one per note(up,down,up,down,etc). Very impressed by these recordings.

Wow, really great recordings of Paganini's caprices! Perlman dominates these :)

Itzhak Perlman is the man!

I was talking to Silverfind, by the way. sorry

If you expect anyone to play like Paganini himself, you are crazy! I respect the fact that you said this was the best recording of all, and i have to agree with you.

silverfind- did you like this one even better then Markov's recording?
I'm talking especially about the 24th

Well, although nobody can play Paganini's caprice's as good as Paganini himself, I have to say this recording was the best of all.

Good for you.

Well I've never heard him live so perhaps not qualified to say, but he's not my favourite violinist.

LOL!!!!!i hope that was a joke? you cant find a tone that even comes anywhere near perlmans on the stage today.

I love this one!

It's a real pity that Perlman, fantastic player that he is, just doesn't have this awareness of what is a truly beautiful tone.

this is probably the best recording of the caprices, in caprice 24, i like how by instinct he knows how much pressure to apply on his bow, and this song is pants when not played in the way that he plays it.

szuper.

I agree completely, obviously. Thank you for the information.

I do believe they were intended to be exercises. If memory serves me correct I believe he wasn't going to publish them in the first place either nor were they meant to be played in public but he was talked into it and they ended up becoming one of his most famous pieces. Regardless of their origin I do agree that they are, indeed, truly artistic and are music to my ears.

if he plays like computer, he is the worlds most feeling computer.

a huge part of musicianship is feeling, and he does it well

Was the 24 caprices really just meant to be exercises? I think it's music. Art! not just violin exercises.

Hehe, very true. However I love the heart racing ability of Paganini sometimes more than just a moment. :D

That's right,

Still, doesn't hearing them played like this kinda make your heart race?

Of course it's only fun when the heart races for not too long...

Most szoljatok hozza!
