Levnerad I disagree because everyone hears classical music differently and is looking for different things. Also just because you are perfectly in-tune does not mean your are the best because you can lack musicality and vice versa. So I believe that in every individual’s opinion there is “the best” but cannot be said about others.
@@jasonsakamoto8078 I completely agree, but what is interesting about Augustin Hadelich is that he seems to combine exceptional musicality with technical perfection, and a completely individual and gorgeous sound.
Yeah definitely, his other recording of it(on TH-cam) I find a bit better, maybe even enjoyable, which for such a asceptic piece is a great compliment!
@@ivyssauro123 yes prolly musically it's somehow more interesting. But this is played with the original bowing which is insane and it's way cleaner than Markov or anybody who did it with original one.
This bowing is so tough there are many class soloists who don't attempt it in public and yet I bet all of them practice it. Augustin's playing here is just mind blowing and wonderfully musical to boot.
As a non violinist could you please explain what is actually harder. Im a musician a guitarist and I can hear this bowing sounds more..staccato to say? Yep that would be the right word.
@@micoveliki8729 Bouncing the bow with 3 notes (bounces) on the downbow and one on the upbow turns out to be murderously difficult. Almost no one can do it. Ruggiero Ricci was the king of this bowing, and he always performed the 5th Caprice that way. Until this recording by Hadelich, I know of only one other person (Renato de Barbieri) who dared to play this bowing in public.
Doesn't Maria Duenas play it with this bowing? She's known for this piece. She performed it when she won the Menuhin Competition, and there is a TH-cam video where she performed it as an encore following a concerto performance. She is hands down the best ice ever seen ANYONE play this
You have not heard Kavakos, then. This is gorgeous but Kavakos....man! th-cam.com/video/fijI_fyRwik/w-d-xo.html He does not use these bowings but what does it matter? The end result is what counts. Still... Augustin, what an artist!
Every performance of Hadelich’s I have listened to has been so utterly convincing... I love the bits in this caprice where Augustin moves the tempo around ever so subtly - the control is truly brilliant. When people say he is the musician’s musician, they’re right.
Interesting how listening experiences differ. I thought the tempo changes were not subtle at all, but forced and disruptive. Probably because they were not accompanied by change in tone, volume, emotion etc. They sounded more like studders to me.
the best way i have of describing hadelich's brilliance is that there are other recordings out on youtube that display comparable levels of technical skill, but the other performances seem to emphasize how difficult the caprice is to play while hadelich makes me imagine that if i practiced enough, i could play like that.
I'm currently writing my Extended Essay (IB students will know what I'm talking about) and I'm writing it on Paganini's caprices and their techniques. I just want to say that this is honestly one of the best recordings/performances I've ever heard of this piece. And I'm writing about 2000 words on just the 5th caprice alone so I've gone and listened to a lot of recordings of it. The sheer difficulty of the bowing in the B section doesn't take away from the musicality at all when Augustin Hadelich plays it. Just incredible. He makes it look like he's playing with such ease. This violinist is truly the dream for all violinists, to be able to play like this.
Just saying for those non-violinists out there, original bowing is a lot harder than the up-down-up-down bowing. Original is 3 down and 1 up. It is hard to maintain richochette and even rhythm. This is truly amazing
This is my very favorite performance if this caprice now! I just can't believe how clean he makes it! On top of that, he plays this with more artistry than any other recording imo
I think they did Fotb because it’s a famous piece with pretty much only a chromatic scale, and the piece is pretty much only played 1 note at a time, making it easier or just makes more sense to find the notes per second
Mr. Hadelich, I've been following your videos ever since quarantine, and I must say your interpretation of the 5th Caprice has left me speechless! I can't help but see the number of hours of practice that went into perfecting this insanely difficult piece. You are truly gifted sir! Lots of love and respect from India!
Another beautiful performance. All of these videos you've uploaded during COVID-19 have inspired me to practice seriously again. Thank you for everything.
I think nowdays Augustine is one of the Top 5 violinists next to Kavakos and some others! He is unbelievable artist! Unique violinist! So pleasure to hear you every time !
The day before yesterday I discovered Furtwängler (orchestra director), yesterday I discovered Chiara Massini (harpsichordist specialized on Bach's music), and today I discovered this amazing violinist! Never before I discovered so many talented people in such a short period of time!
Absolute Majestic and total Beauty. Creamy sound. It tastes better hearing it from you Augustin. Clarity is always on your fingers. I really love it. I'm a fan since i was 7
Very nice. Excellent version of the original bowing... I know some people consider the original bowing less musical, but having played violin for a time when I was younger, when I heard the original bowing the first time, my jaw dropped. Bouncing the bow across the string like that really impresses me. Anyway, thank you for the excellent video!
Absolutely gorgeous-- the articulation, the precision, the tone quality, and the musicality. And with the original bowings-- an approach which is impressive but rarely sounds musical. This dude really is one of the greatest living violinists, in my opinion. Every one of his performances just sparkles.
Wow, that’s the first time I’ve ever enjoyed listening to this caprice. Phenomenal playing and beautiful musicianship. Makes me want to practice my ricochet right now.
Augustin, you played the middle section fast run with 3 spiccato up bowing, which is devilishly hard. You did with such ease, you are a great violin virtuoso
Cada nota tiene un sonido brillante, limpio...no me canso de mirar sus manos y esos dedos volando sobre las cuerdas...estoy absolutamente fascinada!💜🎶💜🎵💜🎻
This is the definition of PERFECT !! Thank you so much for the great music . Keep going and stay happy and healthy. Loads of love and best wishes from India. Swarnalata
This. Just... this. Absolutely incredible, Augustin. Evelyn and I were so saddened when NJ Symphony canceled its fall concerts, including your Beethoven. Maybe there's hope for it to be rescheduled? We still remember playing it with you in Harrisburg those many years ago!

Finally a Paganini Caprice that sounds like Music, and not just like a technical challenge ! Love it ! 🥰
The intro though. What is that if not a technical challenge lol - but the whole piece is certainly more musical than some
Uh pag 4
@@meraldlag4336 The hardest part of the arpeggio is not going up, it's coming back DOWN!!
Ermm what do u mean finally?? People have been playing it like this for ages ...
Pag 24
I’m getting more and more impressed with Augustin. Is he perhaps the best violinist in the world today? Certainly one of the best!
Not the best. Indeed one of the best.
There is no such thing as THE BEST: every musician is unique in its own own
Hillary and Augustine
Wadrian Alef' Yeah, but has to be one that’s technically the best and most in tunr

Augustin casually dropping another gold standard recording during pandemic...
The bass line is so clear you can understand every harmony perfectly. I still don't love this caprice but this is as clean as it gets
Yeah definitely, his other recording of it(on TH-cam) I find a bit better, maybe even enjoyable, which for such a asceptic piece is a great compliment!
the fastest to play this is Leonidas Kavakos, the most accurate is Augustin and Sumina
Listen to Milstein in about 1934.
Tobias Mostel that’s my favorite

This is by far the clearest with original Paganini bowing I have ever heard. Bravo!
Sumina Studer made a great recording too, some years ago 🤗 (at only 19 y.o)
You have not heard Kavakos, then. This is gorgeous but Kavakos....man! th-cam.com/video/fijI_fyRwik/w-d-xo.html
He does not use these bowings but what does it matter? The end result is what counts. Still... Augustin, what an artist!
It is not original bowing , original is 3 - 1 , 3 - 1 , 4 ( down) and 4 ( up) etc .
@@arseniygagarin8204 that's how it is printed in some editions, but paganini only wrote 3-1 3-1 and then stopped :-)
@@Baroque-Handelfr tho 😂
Brilliant! Thanks you, dear Augustin!!!💥💥💥🎇🎇✨🌹💖❤️🌞👏👏👏
He's the kind of violinist that inspires even the most jaded of us musicians.

just from the title this is giving me chills
Amazing!👍👍👍

No he practices 72 hours a day
Kathy Chenying Gao a day only has 24 hours in it >:(

I think I know what you mean but you are saying original bowing is harder than original bowing. May need an edit. :-)
original bowing > original bowing :V
I’m not sure if understand what this comment is supposed to say
its okay guys the second "original" is supposed to say "regular."
Is this Boeing better than the revised bowing? Does it sound better?
Very nice Augustin. You have Paganini Style. Thank you Augustin. Thank you
You're a gift to humanity.
I just cant imagine how difficult it would be to play that bowing!
This is my very favorite performance if this caprice now! I just can't believe how clean he makes it! On top of that, he plays this with more artistry than any other recording imo
I was watching Augustin playing this with my mouth "opened" the whole time! too much..too good...I'm totally flabbergasted!!!
@@TheTucsonJeff my bad, thank you.
Petition to make this the standard for Guinness Book of World Records
Guinness World Records has announced that 'fastest Violin Player' is no longer an existing record!
I think they did Fotb because it’s a famous piece with pretty much only a chromatic scale, and the piece is pretty much only played 1 note at a time, making it easier or just makes more sense to find the notes per second
No one would ever get records with how utterly insane this performance is.
violin playing doesn't need a "record standard" imo
no i don’t want it to happen cuz if it does i will not be able to listen to it the way i do now

OMG.... it couldn't be better
Dear Augustin you are my inspiration after me Heifetz!!! You are not the portrait of an artist but you are the artist !!!!
Hassan A Heifetz was sloppy and slidey with those tasteless whales and gypsy vibrato. This is the shit.
@@accidentals_hacks I disagree...Heifetz was anything but sloppy.
@@accidentals_hacks I want to see you play better than heifetz if he was shit
penalu
@@accidentals_hacksnowadays too little people do slides anymore, they all strive to play a certain way that is dull and boring.
Love this young gentleman. Never forget his Sibelius with Vancouver Symphony a few years ago, absolutely one of the best.
Simply astonishing control.
Ling Ling 40 hours.... Thanks Agustin, clear, beautiful.
This is my favorite version
That was absolutely brilliant!
Bowing as smooth as I've ever heard it. Very clean articulation!
Grandissimo Augustin.
That is some amazing technique!
Wow original Bowing! Such amazing music created by u!
Another beautiful performance. All of these videos you've uploaded during COVID-19 have inspired me to practice seriously again. Thank you for everything.
Do it
Such an amazing bow technique.

Just perfect

Sempre impeccabile e unico.
BRAVO!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
the sheer talent! this is beyond incredible!

So brilliant and overwhelming... not only technically perfect but also utterly lyrical.
This needs to become one of the most watched violin videos on YT. Phenomenal rendition.
Super bouncy bowing!
Simply amazing
MAGNIFICO!

Excellent rendition with amazing bow technique, fantastic articulation, tone richness, and pleasant speed!
I was thinking 3 days ago how awesome it would be to hear this in the original bowing. Master Augustine delivers yet again
Virtuoso Sir Hadelich!!! Magnific!!!💗👏👏👏👏
I’m always so impressed by how clear and crisp the notes are at the speed in which it is played. Truly a master in his craft!
Wunderschöne, durchgestaltete Interpretation!!!❤

Man been going crazy in quarantine. Gotta love it
Augustin ! before I used to listen to Maxim Vangerov and David Garett , but now im listning to you.Thank you
The best capriccio 5 I've heard so far. Once again: thanks Maestro.
that was awesome. shredding with taste. a 10 in every category. perfect yet fun. I would hate to have to follow him at a competition.
Incredible!
Wow! Amazing! I can watch you play all day.
Can we all please take a moment to listen to how clear and crisp each of his notes are XD
Well Done!
Simply amazing. Thank you for that beautiful interpretation Augustin.

Incredible technique and accuracy!
Your playing is tight and clear, great intonation no duff notes each one there clear and present. I actually like this tempo.
I wish I could see him in person one day! It should sound even more amazing.
Beautiful Augustin. A reference artist!
Amazing! The bowing is flawless.
Wonderful interpretation Augustin! Thank you for uploading and playing this!
BRAVO
Can't wait until the new world tour starts, definitely looking forward to hearing you play live again! 🎻🎶👏
