I've seen dozens of interpretations of the 24th, this one is certainly the best one in my opinion, the pizzicato is just mind-blowing, as clean as a whistle. Worth mentioning Nathan Milstein - Paganiniana, it's also amazing.

The best part of his playing is the subtle difference when it's repeated, which Heifetz did it and emphasized in his teaching. Bravissimo~~

I learnt this piece for 6 months, until I finally abandoned it in favour of the 5th Caprice. The pizzicato here is so flawless, that I am in awe.

this caprice conveys something, i can only decribe as the spark of insanity. of all interpretaions i have heard, few could let that brilliant ember shine through. this performance however, ignites that sublte, untold emotion, and lets it burst into a blinding, splendid fire, that consumes itself, just before one could sear his eyes, from staring into it for too long. bravissimo markov!

Proud to say that I had the privilege to see Alexander Markov perform live twice in my life.. both at Bellapais Abbey in North Cyprus, just a fantastic venue for classical music

There was always something about Markov I didn't like, I've always prefered Schlomo Mintz's technique over Markov. However when Markov hit 2:51 I saw Paganini rise from the grave. It really blew my mind.

Alexander Markov really captures that feeling of Caprice 24 which not even Hilary Haan could do.

I like this version the best. It wasn't love, it wasn't safe, it's pure emotional energy.

This is my favourite interpration of the 24th caprice so for and this is because he plays it so different than the others. He takes so much risks by giving us his pure energy and by slaying this piece at the fast of light (2:51 is just from an another world). I can just bravo Alexander even if this performance is 20 years old now.

The Best interpretation to me. Paganini would be soooooo proud!!!!!

He is the living Paganini. No one even compares to him in playing Paganini, esp. this caprice. Cannot stop listening to this.

This guys plays with the passion of Paganini.

DAMN. This is my favorite piece so far, and he plays it the BEST. It's killing me how good it is!

Bravo! Il suo pizzicato viene proprio dal diavolo, come da Paganini stesso!

Exquisitely musical performance, superb tone!

A legjobb előadás amit hallottam, kivéve Milsteint! Őt nem lehet felülmúlni!

glad to see someone else playing my warmup

SO much attitude & conviction in his interpretation & execution.

I have the great oportunity to listen to him yesterday, it was STUNNING!

Это уникально браво! 👏🏻 Is genius bravo to you 👏🏻💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That was exquisitely played.

Absolutely brilliant. Filled with vitality and virtuosity. Of this, I dig.

Surely perfection itself.

Ой, наш Марков.

Это лучшее исполнение 24 Каприсса, что я слышал.....

Wonderfully musical playing - one of the rarest examples - not just the dazzling technique but also the sense of the whole piece. Rubato in the pizzes is amazing. Personally, I could do with fewer glisses in the last variation, but overall it is one of the most captivating performances of the piece (The 24 Caprices, and/or No. 24 in particular). Bravo!

Excellent Futureviolin best wishes from germany🎉

If there is anyone as good or better than Alexander Markov, I'd like to know who it is. I have not heard Markov play chamber music, so I cannot comment on him other than from a technical perspective, but what I see here is absolutely phenomenal. I have never seen L/hand pizz. played like this! This man has a magic bow & knows how to use it. His posture is of greatness. Shoulder rest is not visible & not used as a crutch. This man reminds me of greats such as Heifetz, Prihoda, Ricci & Kogan.
