I used to work night shift at a factory...I'd get off a 12 hour shit...get a six pack...ride old dirt roads at 10 mile an hour...and listen to this and watch the sun come up...
I've been listening this over 10 years. Still I didn't find a better version of no:24. I believe that No:24 cannot be played better than this. The only bad side of this performance is the video quality.
@@LiwaySaGu, have you heard this performance by John Williams? Better tonal control, uses different tone at the right time together with his phrasing. He is the best, in my opinion: th-cam.com/video/Z4hI0fqoqSI/w-d-xo.html
I have found my clan.. there is no better version, this is perfection in its truest form and the sheer scale of her nuance makes up for poor recording quality.. which it was masterfully recorded just overly compressed over the years on youtoobs.. to get the original recording would be devine
There is emotion in this performance, people are just to blind to see it, the way she has perfected to play shows the emotion and love that she has for music, just because some people dont dance when they play is doesn't mean they love music less, any true musician would know this
Phenomenal- the depth and intensity> she is putting everything in her, heart and soul, into her playing. There are no words sufficient to adequately describe her genius!
THANK YOU, Ms Li !!! Wow . . . This is the benchmark; in my opinion, the best performance of Caprice Nº24. Wonderful! Amazing tone, even in the fastest passages. Great phrasing. For the first time, I was able to enjoy the phrasing, despite the blinding velocity inherent in the work.
Holy crap. This is one of the better classical guitar performances I have seen. Just amazing. As a guitarist myself, I can fully appreciate and respect the extreme talent we all have the privilege of watching in the video. Utterly jaw-dropping.
Best performance of this piece on a classical guitar that I have ever heard. Hasn´t ever been topped since I first heard it over 10 years ago, and I doubt that it will ever be.
I only know enough about guitars to know how many modes, styles, and patterns are implemented here. Maybe if I were started at an age before 25 and had an actual talent.... I could almost fake one or two of these fantastic sections of this piece. I know enough to be in awe, but not enough to really appreciate the sheer amount of talent effortlessly dumped into this flawless rendition of a piece repurposed to another instrument (beyond what my imagination could ever render). Smart enough to know I'm to dumb to know what is really going on here. I have appreciated this recording for years, and imagine I will continue to enjoy it for years to come.
This is the only perfect TH-cam video, absolutely noone on this planet alien or otherwise can find anything that couldn’t be done better than Li Jie’s performance here.
Hands down this is the best version I've seen and listened on youtube. Played with confidence and the execution is super clean. An audience could't ask for more. Brava.
This is more than stunning! This lady can take her place among the great guitarists. I'm very impressed by this perfectness and ofcourse charmed by this enormous and absolutely pure musical expression.
To echo what everyone is stating: this is by far the best performance of this piece. Hands down. Like so many others I remember watching this in the early to mid 2000s and being absolutely blown away by this. Even almost 20 years later it’s still incredible.
Absolutely amazing. Even the thought of memorising this piece is astounding, let alone playing it with such mastery. Anyone complaining about this performance - just step up with your guitar and give the rest of us a laugh..........
I Always return to this masterpiece at least once a year, her precision and feeling is absolutely perfect. Jascha Heifetz rules the violin, but Li Jie is the undisputed guiutar master!
it is amazing performance and she owns a unique spirit while playing, happy the guy who can get it. thank you very much this was my childhood dreams. you restored my soal.
such a good interpretation. I never get sick of her version. I've listened to the original violin version but felt that it lacked emotion... Li Jie + guitar + wonderful song = awesomeness.
I'd like to add, Ms. Li is right up there with Ida Presti, having added her own brand of perhaps unequalled musicianship--technique, phrasing and tone.
I saw her at Universal Citywalk in LA last month. She was on her break and sitting next to some other musician guy. I wish I could have stayed and listened. It was in front of Jamba Juice where the Argentinian pan piper is always playing. People from L.A. know what im talking about?
Aku sudah mendengarkan ini selama 13 tahun berulang ulang..dan mencari cari gitaris lain di youtube yang memainkan paganini caprice 24...cuman permainan li jie ini yang bersih..permaianan harmoniknya sangat bagus permainannya sangat berkualitas dan syarat skill yang di atas rata rata best of the best 👍👍👍👍👍💫💫💫💫💫
LI JIE born 1981 china,started playing at 11 under Professor CHEN ZHI her solo dvd is on SHINE HORN called CLASSICAL GUITAR. All these vids are from that DVD recorded about 11 yrs ago. I have tried to get the DVD but had no luck here in England Hope this helps PELIVIER Good luck
Toca maravillosamente bién. No he encontrado quien toque mejor. Tal vez Paco de lucía en lo suyo (El Flamenco) pero encuentro que esta jovencita tiene un talento excepcional.
this is incredible. she is so good at that. cant stop listening to this it's such a good rendition of one of the best classical pieces ever. she should play rhythm guitar for yngwie malmsteen that would be amazing.
She has received tremendous international attention and has highly praised by many celebrated masters, such as Professor Michael Lewin of The Royal Academy of Music, John Williams, Alexander Sergei Ramirez, and Lachine Suzuki, to name a few -wiki obviously youtubers speaking ill of her has no idea what they are listening to
Second time watching this video and that's exactly who I thought of, I was going to say Marcin eat your heart out but hearing that he also plays a version of this now I must check it out.
@@humanbean3 I actually haven't seen his version yet, he just came to mind because he is grabbing all the attention lately, and rightly so, there's no doubt he's a talented guy and he has an infectiously positive attitude too, ill let you know when I watch it, I'm sure it will be impressive.
These are old videos..she was about 14 and had been playing for about 3 years at the time. Shes about 33 or so now and probably a whole lot better! :D Hell I can't play like that and I've been playing a LOT longer than 3 years.
This was uploaded in 2006 so your time is a little off. She was either 12-14 when she first appeared on TV in 1993 or 19-20 when she appeared on TV again in 2000 while a student at the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music
No, this may have been POSTED in the 2000's, but this is from a program on the Chinese national broadcast (CCTV) show "Classical Guitar's Technique and Performance", she was 12 here and this perfomance occured one year after she had begun playing...it occured in 1992-93
There's no way a guitarist no matter how talented they are can develop that kind of technique in a year, I've heard she was 15 at the time of this recording. Even John Williams took about 6 years to get his out of this world technique.
Julián Navarro *shrug* and yet there it is, you can find all the information on the program, when it aired and where easily enough online, compare the air date to her birth year and the time she began to train (which you can find online too, her Wikipedia article for example explains when and with whom she began training), it's honestly just a matter of doing the math. given that we have examples of Chopin, Gould, Mozart and so on who began conducting at 7, 6 and 4 respectively it's not impossible. Akin Camara was performing with the Marzahn Hellersdorf School of Music at 2... there's a reason we call them child prodigies, ever hear of a savant? same idea, just with music, some people can just suck up theory and technique like a sponge, no doubt she also did nothing else BUT practice that entire year...
I started on guitar at 16 and didn't even learn to read music till I was 21 my friends said I was to old to start playing classical guitar at 21 I should stick to electric but I gave them the middle finger and did it anyway now I am playing music they wish they could play there is no better feeling than playing a lute suite in front of people that told you you would never make it and watch them still play the same old acdc riff they were playin 7 years ago .Good look on your music journey.

Been coming back to this video almost since the beginning of TH-cam. Masterful performance.
same here. its been almost 20 years. there was a video uploaded before this one i do believe
Same
Same man I remember this video back in the noughties
I used to work night shift at a factory...I'd get off a 12 hour shit...get a six pack...ride old dirt roads at 10 mile an hour...and listen to this and watch the sun come up...
4:10 is about the time the mushrooms that my coworker gave me on break would kick in...
Her accuracy is... beyond astounding.
5:16 - 5:42 is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. She plays and mutes the natural harmonics flawlessly. It's brilliant.
I've been listening this over 10 years. Still I didn't find a better version of no:24. I believe that No:24 cannot be played better than this. The only bad side of this performance is the video quality.
agree, i have also been listening to this since 2011. although i secretly hope i'll come across a better version, i haven't found one yet
@@LiwaySaGu, have you heard this performance by John Williams? Better tonal control, uses different tone at the right time together with his phrasing. He is the best, in my opinion:
th-cam.com/video/Z4hI0fqoqSI/w-d-xo.html
Totally agree, it have been 15 years for me. Tonight it move me again.
I have found my clan.. there is no better version, this is perfection in its truest form and the sheer scale of her nuance makes up for poor recording quality.. which it was masterfully recorded just overly compressed over the years on youtoobs.. to get the original recording would be devine
Thats the perfect version
I would kill for a crystal clean high quality recording of this exact performance.. this is godly talent and damned near perfection
Hands down one of the best performances of any piece ever. This is just incredible!
Check this out…..th-cam.com/video/q_qtxzEdfbU/w-d-xo.html
@@miguelavalos4358 Oh Yeah, Irina Kulikova is an amazing performer. Absolutely love her playing.
Watched it countless times over the years. It brought tears to my eyes every time. Best of the best.
There is emotion in this performance, people are just to blind to see it, the way she has perfected to play shows the emotion and love that she has for music, just because some people dont dance when they play is doesn't mean they love music less, any true musician would know this
i don't care if its 144p. 12 years later, its still some of the best goddamn guitar playing i've ever heard.
me too , i don't know why , but its in my ear for more then 12 years now
Phenomenal- the depth and intensity> she is putting everything in her, heart and soul, into her playing. There are no words sufficient to adequately describe her genius!
The clarity and feeling she gets out of that guitar is nuts.
THANK YOU, Ms Li !!! Wow . . . This is the benchmark; in my opinion, the best performance of Caprice Nº24. Wonderful! Amazing tone, even in the fastest passages. Great phrasing. For the first time, I was able to enjoy the phrasing, despite the blinding velocity inherent in the work.
I’ve been watching her videos for years. This is basically flawless
I have watched it over twenty times
can't get bored with it
Holy crap. This is one of the better classical guitar performances I have seen. Just amazing. As a guitarist myself, I can fully appreciate and respect the extreme talent we all have the privilege of watching in the video. Utterly jaw-dropping.
Seven minutes and 44 seconds of pure beauty.
One of the best I’ve ever heard over and over again in the past 20 years!
Still the best version. 2024
Check out a new version by Haeun Jang. Sounds pretty good.
Què facilidad tan asombrosa de ejecutar la
guitarra,indudablemente LI JIE es una gran
artista insuperable!.
Le deseamos muchos èxitos!.
th-cam.com/video/nmb_831Io7w/w-d-xo.html
I love Chinese culture for its meditative perfection;
it's unbelievable - look in her face, there's absolutely nothing but her fingers and the guitar.
I've been listening to this for ten years now. Still amazing. Wish she was more internationally known so I can see her perform in the States.
20 years for me. My dad got me the original DVD 📀 when I was in primary school.
Kinda crazy that this was when she was 12 or 13, only learn classical guitar for one year.
@@NoryLevi No way, that can't be true not in one year, she's probably been playing since she was a young child would be my guess.
@@jameslong9921 she played guitar before, but this show was filmed only one year after she was being trained in classical for a year
この曲を歌っているように感じました、ご演奏で。歌えば歌うほど演奏に作品からの遊びのようなものが生まれたり、作品に基づいた独創的な演奏が創造されて行くのですかね。
とっても素敵なご演奏、ありがとうございました。

I’ve been listening to this piece since the 90’s. Li Jie is so elegant and skilful. Hope I can meet her one day,
This is more than stunning! This lady can take her place among the great guitarists.
I'm very impressed by this perfectness and ofcourse charmed by this enormous and absolutely pure musical expression.
i think everybody are ok to say:she is the best.............simply incredible!.....waow!!.
every time i come back to this it is more astounding. Strong hands!
Extraordinario talento demuestra la srta LI,si
tiene expresión y sentimiento y una gran dulzura en su magistral ejecución.
Adelante pues LI!!!!
Amazing, unsurpassed playing! Pure genius that should take lifetimes to accomplish....
true classic is the very origin of metal.
this one is a true classic piece for sure!
To echo what everyone is stating: this is by far the best performance of this piece. Hands down. Like so many others I remember watching this in the early to mid 2000s and being absolutely blown away by this. Even almost 20 years later it’s still incredible.
Absolutely amazing. Even the thought of memorising this piece is astounding, let alone playing it with such mastery. Anyone complaining about this performance - just step up with your guitar and give the rest of us a laugh..........
Это что-то невероятное!Умница!Браво!
I'm throwing my guitar away
I'm throwing my hands away
Your Both are funny . Both have to throw away😀
I think her reaction to listening to something like this was "I must buy a guitar"
fucking agree
I’m throwing my guitar away and buying a guitar.
La mejor del mundo y eso fue hace como 20 años😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😶🤐🤐🦾🦾🦾🤐👍👍😔🦾🥰
I Always return to this masterpiece at least once a year, her precision and feeling is absolutely perfect. Jascha Heifetz rules the violin, but Li Jie is the undisputed guiutar master!
it is amazing performance and she owns a unique spirit while playing, happy the guy who can get it.
thank you very much this was my childhood dreams. you restored my soal.
Still the best version! Seen many attempts on this but nothing came close.
such a good interpretation. I never get sick of her version. I've listened to the original violin version but felt that it lacked emotion... Li Jie + guitar + wonderful song = awesomeness.
Damn...listen to how she manages to get every one of those mute notes to ring our at around 5:15? Friggin' brilliant...
I'd like to add, Ms. Li is right up there with Ida Presti, having added her own brand of perhaps unequalled musicianship--technique, phrasing and tone.
Those chord changes @3:20 and after are just incredible!
this lady greatly inspires me.
I saw her at Universal Citywalk in LA last month. She was on her break and sitting next to some other musician guy. I wish I could have stayed and listened. It was in front of Jamba Juice where the Argentinian pan piper is always playing. People from L.A. know what im talking about?
sweet pure innocence... this world needs to see more Li Jie
Aku sudah mendengarkan ini selama 13 tahun berulang ulang..dan mencari cari gitaris lain di youtube yang memainkan paganini caprice 24...cuman permainan li jie ini yang bersih..permaianan harmoniknya sangat bagus permainannya sangat berkualitas dan syarat skill yang di atas rata rata best of the best 👍👍👍👍👍💫💫💫💫💫
Lo he visto unas 20 veces, es genial, maravilloso.
this makes tears come to my eyes truely amazing and beautifull!
Best version on youtube!
Completely agree.
i've seen several of this rendition of paganini parice no.24,i like this one the best.
5:15 mind blowing muted harmonic staccato. Amazing control. Fantastic playing, I'm not sure if anyone can top this version
Never saw a heard a better version on TH-cam or elsewhere. There are many fantastic interpretation, but this one is out of this world.
This is perfection. Li Jie is perfection.
LI JIE born 1981 china,started playing at 11 under Professor CHEN ZHI her solo dvd is on SHINE HORN called CLASSICAL GUITAR. All these vids are from that DVD recorded about 11 yrs ago. I have tried to get the DVD but had no luck here in England

With how good this girl is, she obviously loves this music. That's why she is so talented, not because she has been forced to be good.

My guitar try to throw me out of the window after watched the video
😆
I tabbed this by ear and just watching this video, the arpeggio section is insane. I can't even come close to half the the speed
C'est magnifique.
Bravo et merci.
I can listen to this forever.
I love finger-style...The way that it spreads all the music...Wow
still the best version after all these years. and no marcin's version is not "better". his is astounding as well, but quite rushed i feel.
Second time watching this video and that's exactly who I thought of, I was going to say Marcin eat your heart out but hearing that he also plays a version of this now I must check it out.
@@jameslong9921 im curious what you thought of marcin's version compared to this one.

Это просто невыразимо обалденно!
This is to much,just astonish! Es !asombroso! The best i ever hear.o mejor que he escuchado.
This is... WOW... this is AMAZING!
Amazing!! The voice of God!!
Bravo... bravisimo !!!!!!!

super clean sound
posatura super zen to play

I have to admit that I don't even like this piece of music, but it works as a show piece. Li Jie proves that. Good job!
🥺🥺 why i know this in 2021.
Its real good.
Now 2024- still good...
gropp guitars and incredible talent!
cant stop watching this video

Out of entropy accuracy and order. Out of chaos beauty. I feel like somewhere Paganini smiles down on this going 'Daughter you've done well."
very best performance on guitar that i have ever seen in my life ,what an wanderful sound of guitar it is
For me is the best girl guitarristic I ever seen
Simply the best version......
Li Jie is one of the finest artists.
amazing performance, simply amazing...Playing paganini on quitar like that is just awesome.
