For those of you who don’t play violin: what’s absolutely breathtaking about this is not even how fast the left hand is moving, but maintaining that very crisp, clean sautille bouncing bow throughout the piece, despite all the string changes. That is some serious right hand bowing technique!

He was exactly like modern heavy metal rockers (the top ones) are, in special guitarrists. At least in personality.

According to my calculations, in the Agitato part (from 0.32 to 1.46) Shlomo played 67 bars with 16 semiquavers each, i.e. a total o 67x16 = 1072 notes in 74 seconds. A speed of 14.49 notes per second. This about Paganini speed ( 12 to 15 nps ) when playing Presto movements... Phantastic !

Very much so, this directly paved the road to the 80's shred, Paganini's 5th cappricce is what Yngwie built his chops on. Paganini was a charmer and a crowd pleaser, ladies were saving ashes from his cigar droppings in their medallions and stuff like that, with him the fandom as we know it today actually started.

+Miguel When asked what were the exercises he built his chops on, Yngwie said he never practiced exercises, instead he played the 5th caprice until he was able to play it properly. He said why waste time on non musical exercises, when you have these classical pieces that cover the full range of techniques one needs to master in order to git gud. So technically, he probably can't play ALL the caprices, but he can definitely play the 5th and probably some others too.

Him and Jason Becker can.

No one who never got so far to try to play the Paganini caprices himself can imagine how unbelievably difficult and at the same time musically demanding they are - and what a fantastic rendition this is by Shlomo Mintz. One of the outstanding recordings, no doubt.

Maestro Mintz, I keep as a treasure the autograph you gave me backstage after the concert in 2001 in Córdoba, Argentina. You were so kind and humble. I will never forget it. Thank you Maestro for the Music

Spectacular and gorgeous. It's not just the speed and virtuosity, but the rich fullness of his sound.

Paganini rocks, no doubt.

That fourth-finger vibrato, man. It might as well be his second or third finger-- it's that strong. And the two chords-- the A minor one at the end of the intro and the A major one at the very end-- are so full and gorgeous.

Two words...DAMN GOOD

his name is very misleading lol

This dude is shitting himself while he is doing it. It's like he can't believe he is doing it haha. Love this stuff, this is a video that if you speed up, your mind *EXPLODES*

I seriously doubt that any human could ever play any instrument better then this recording.

This is the best command of the violin that I have heard to date by quite a margin, especially the sheer projection, resonance, richness of harmonics, and completeness of the sound not to mention the warmth as well, and this is only the sound,technically, although not nearly so important to myself personally,one can forgive a lot if the sound is larger than life, but in this case the sound and the technique are evenly matched like everything else. I would love to see, Shlomo get as excited about

That perfect continuous slur during those full scales... soooo smoooooooth

But can he play 'wonderwall"?

Wow. I honestly didn't expect that Shlomo Mintz is SUCH a great player. Excellent clarity.

I like to look at his individual fingers at work during this passage plus listen to the tension of this passage build up. 0:55 Seriously one of the most dynamic version I have ever heard!!! He sure practiced a lot.

To really get the most out of this video, play it at 0.25 speed and really listen and pay attention to all the shifts, look at all the fingerings, etc... It has really been carefully worked out. The shifts on the big scales at The beginning and the end: you will hear how he first slides down with his first finger before putting down the other four as he’s crawling back down the fingerboard. But when he is going fast, you don’t hear it at all. Amazing!

thank you uploader ..... i occasionally listen to this since 5 years

Incredible. Never heard it played so well as to be so super-exciting. Jesus Christ what I would do to travel back in time to hear it played the the man himself.

Judging by the perfect technique that both zukerman and Mintz have Ilona Feher must have been one of the best teachers of all time. She said when shlomo first came to her she got so upset since everything was wrong with his playing. What a lady she was!

Did anyone make it here to this wonderful performance after watching Steve Vai and Ralph Machio’s guitar duel in the movie the Crossroads?

It follows a very specific pattern even though it’s so fast..I love it!

ty for uploading this! I share it with people all the time and they're always impressed. If I can ever get "Answers" produced, I'm going to see if I can arrange Shlomo to execute this at the Super Bowl halftime show.
