I have listened to this many times, and am convinced that this is the greatest violin piece ever composed. Who better to play it than Salvatore Accardo. His playing is so magical. Just outstanding if I may say so. Paganini would have been very, very proud. All I know is, it can't get any better than this. Thank you so much for uploading this. I love this piece immensely.
Mesmerizing! The charm and simplicity of the tune, the elegance and inventiveness on its variations, even the sublime effect of its obsessive profusion...Wow, Paganini! JHBernardo, you are our jolly good fellow!
According to the book I have "Paganini: The Genoese Volume II" written by G.I.C. de Courcy, this piece was written in 1838, less than two years before Paganini's death. He was in Paris at the time and had just been involved in a disastrous business deal taking shares in a Casino called "Casino Paganini." The Parisian authorities ordered the Casino to be closed and he had to move out. They also slapped him with heavy fines for challenging their decision in court in an attempt to get out of the original lower level fines given to him. A letter from Paganini to his friend Luigi Germi says: July 11, 1838 "It will not seem strange to you that I drew a sight draft on Signor Migone some days ago for three thousand francs; please advise him that we will receive another for two thousand francs because I'm going to reopen my account with Baron Rothschild. I've just composed two grandiossissime sonatas with variations and I'm now composing a third. Then I have to orchestrate them. I must also orchestrate the grandiose concerto with the bell. True, I'm giving no concerts, but these compositions will do me credit and will bring in some money." In the footnotes, it reads that the following pieces found among his manuscripts at the time were most likely to be the ones discussed in the above letter, "Sonata Varsavia," "La Primavera," and "Balletto Campestre."
Paganini is the most underrated composer ever. Take this masterpiece for example, is so joyfull, so melodic, i could easily say that is nothing better than it, even by the golden trio of all times, Mozart, Beethoven and Bach
Paganini was not only where rockstars copied everything from, but his orchestral compistions are absolsutely sublime and no other composer can create the same air of mystery, granduer though there's am artist Bobby Davis who is like Paganini
Bravo au grand vioniste qui a su restituer le talent exceptionnel de Paganini pour notre plus grand plaisir. Je suis fascinée par cette pure merveille, un véritable enchantement 🙏🎶💓🎶✨✨
Now let’s bow before this great maestro, Salvatore Accardo, a true incarnation for having all but reanimated Paganini’s seemly inhuman facility. If you listen intently, you may even hear Paganini, tapping his foot while playing his Guarnerius “Canon”, as though you’ve been swept back in time. What spectacle could entertain more than seeing this absolute wonder performing his miracles, with his miraculous music? These wildly enchanting balletto variations have a diabolically playful charm, dreamlike fantasia, and genuine beauty. Widely acclaimed, he was hundreds of years ahead of his time, an incomparable genius with inexplicable dexterity and virtuosic gifts so extraordinary, that to this day, it is said that he was in league with the Devil. His mother’s Faustian bargain dream now fulfilled, he must have known his time was nearing its end. So perhaps creating his oeuvre meant more than money and legacy, rather a means of comforting his suffering from afflictions, sanctuary from relentless antagonists, and cathartic respite for a tired and melancholy soul.
@@moskalenkoalexey5743 Вариации на"никакую"тему неизбежно должны были превратиться в каскад мини-этюдиков,демонстрацию разнообразнейших видов техники.Всё же музыка,остающаяся в веках,всегда"о чём-то",а не просто светская болтовня ни о чём.
@@moskalenkoalexey5743 мой бог, какие высокие суждения. Конечно, эти Вариации изначально не претендуют становиться в один ряд с Прекрасной Мельничихой, но они ведь написаны нарочито с изрядной долей комизма: одни только неожиданные взвизги пикколо чего стоят в середине вариаций! Изумительный приём, наверняка заставлявший минимум половину почтенной публики сползать под диваны в ложах от хохота😅 Скажите, а Вы и Россини отказываете в гениальности? Не всем же быть Бетховенами и Шостаковичами в универсальности и трагичности некоторых их идей. Хотя, стоп, Шостакович тоже шутил. У него есть очаровательный вальсок, известный продвинутым детям. А у Бетховена есть Багатели и какие-то похожие на эти Вариации танцы для фортепиано. И даже эти "незначительные" вещи в своём жанре и предназначении чудо как хороши, ибо написаны рукой гения с впечатляющим количеством фантазии и изобретательности и хорошим вкусом. Это как минимум. Те, кто следит за сменой типов скрипичной техники внутри Вариаций, не преминет отметить и оценить это. Слушаю уже 22 минуты (3/4 произведения) - и ни одного внутреннего "фу!" 😊 А вот широко известный Канон Пахельбеля (также использующий Вариации) навевает мне скуку своей предсказуемостью и пафосной серьёзностью. Паганини лучше! 😂
Accardo genio assoluto del violino. Quando lo ascoltavo nei vari teatri italiani , parlo di circa 40 anni fa, aveva il doppio del suono di quasi chiunque, e molto molto più bello. Parlo di oistrac stern kogan tretiakov ricci perlman . S.olo la bellezza di ughi ci stava accanto.
EXTRAORDINARY... AS THE CARNAVAL OF VENICE !!!! PECCATO QUE L¨ UOMO.... PENSA PRIMA.. A I SOLDI E NON A UN GENIO DEL MONDO .... PER SEMPRE !! COMME NICOLO PAGANINI.. FORMIDABILA EXECUTIONE DI SALVATORE!!!
sorry, but Salvatore plays sometimes with a bad intonation. Like in the video, where he plays " Nel cor più........" in a private looking environement. He was normanally much better. Look at his discs of the 6 violin concerti !
That painting depicts very poor violin playing position. He's slouching his back and his left hand holding the violin, and his bow holding arm shouldn't be at a 90° angle to his bow. Though, I'm sure Nicolo Paganini never actually held his violin like that.
No, this is how he actually held it, if you read his diary he hints about the perfect way to hold the violin ( and it makes it easier to do tenths, third runs, high g string notes and double stop harmonics etc) If you look at paintings and portraits of the Master during the time he always holds the violin down on an angle, it eliminates the need for shifting, also the F holes are pointed to the audience which provides better amplification. It is far easier on the body and improves finger strength stability and independence as well. But don't take my word for it. The great violinist Ruggiero Ricci talks about this in his book, Glissando. www.violinist.com/blog/PeterCharles/20147/16011/
yes, he did. on all the pictures which show him playing he has the same position. that was the way tartini used to play. and paganini refused when somebody told him to change the position. because he preferred this position to reach high notes easier, as at his time the habit to hold the violin was almost the position of nowadays. kreutzer, rode, lafont, spohr etc.

I am surprised that this isn't better known and popular. It's GREAT!
He's probably most underestimated composer ever
@@ivanboskovic1260 yes... that's sad
Great Paganini !
Veramente una meraviglia! Genio Paganini! Adoro escucharlo. Es mi músico preferido!
Sehr gelungen, eine wahre Freude es anzuhören

What do you think of the music? Beyond nearly two hundred years of it being around. I still think it is astounding.
I confess to being an avid lover of Paganini for life.
Ё
Speechless before such a masterwork. And Salvatore Arcado, what a violin's magician!
Accardo. don´t fool with names !
@@manfred4766 is seems to be the mobile keyboard kidding&cheating😅
fantastic and beautiful as every piece of music he wrote. no wander he was, is and will be the best violinist ever....rodolfo
Salvatore Accardo/Chamber Orchestra of Europe/Franco Tamponi
first time I am hearing this piece. thanks to youtube. Keep the music flowing.
ABSOLUTAMENTE UNA COMPOZITIONE IMPOSSIBILE DA INTERPRETARE SENZA IL GENIO DI PAGANINI DENTRO IL CUORE E IL SPIRITO NEL VIOLONISTA !!!!
Paganini is the most underrated composer ever. Take this masterpiece for example, is so joyfull, so melodic, i could easily say that is nothing better than it, even by the golden trio of all times, Mozart, Beethoven and Bach
The most people hwo hate paganini dont know 1% of his great compositions
Paganini was not only where rockstars copied everything from, but his orchestral compistions are absolsutely sublime and no other composer can create the same air of mystery, granduer though there's am artist Bobby Davis who is like Paganini
Grazie signore! I don't know about it being better than the golden trio, though.
Maravilhoso!. não conhecia.e um desafio para os violinistas.Esta é uma obra hermosa que debiera darse mais aconhecer
Bravo au grand vioniste qui a su restituer le talent exceptionnel de Paganini pour notre plus grand plaisir. Je suis fascinée par cette pure merveille, un véritable enchantement 🙏🎶💓🎶✨✨
It's like a seventh violin concerto...
Humor y Variaciones,Paganini y su Grandeza!!!!!!!.-
Geñial Nícolo !
Ausgesprochen witzige Komposition, einzigartig
Latest 30 seconds are probably most joyfull tune from pre modern era
Bravo!
Bom de ouvir, sempre.

Сальваторе Аккардо великолепный скрипач, а вот произведение это восторга не вызывает. Не всё у гениев гениально, всё же даже гений -- это человек.

Accardo
When was the actual performance?
Une oeuvre du Génois que je ne connaissais pas... quel est le soliste ?
Salvatore Accardo (e direttore dell'orchestra da camera è Franco Tamponi, in passato violinista solista dello storico complesso 'I Musici').
Anybody know who the violinist is?
@violin614 I used to have this CD, but now I can't even find it on amazon. It even has the super-rare MS 66 "Perpetuala" (NOT op 11 Moto Perpetuo!)
Salvatore accardo
sorry, but Salvatore plays sometimes with a bad intonation. Like in the video, where he plays " Nel cor più........" in a private looking environement. He was normanally much better. Look at his discs of the 6 violin concerti !
