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.
@@robertselims9149Heifetz version lacks of emotion if you compared it with Markov’s version . The people who listened to Paganini said that he was full of emotion and moments when playing the violin. Heifetz plays like a robot . Markov is better and closest to the way Paganini used to play.
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
Saw him play this live and was coached by him in a master class last weekend and I don't think I've ever been more nervous in my life to play in front of someone
@@cedarnewman6354 yeah he comes to have tea with us on Sunday evenings, he's quite a good violinist, but not up to the mark. I give some constructive feedback to him , so that he could improve.
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.
@@germangarciamartinez4097 Not sure really, I heard a story from long ago where an audience member claimed that Paganini would imitate the sounds of bird songs on his violin among others like that
De las mejores interpretaciones Gracias Maese Markov Bravvvvvviiiiissssiiiimmmmoooo....Magistral....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍soy eterno admirador desde hace muchos años...
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.
Yeah but I dont know if you know how DAMN difficult It is to do the left hand pizzicato. Doing it as fast (hadn't seen anyone do it like that before) is very very very difficult and surprising
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!
who the hell gave this a thumbs down? Markov has been my 24 caprices hero since i was a teenager. nobody but Rabin was/is on the same level, imo. and if i had to choose, i'd take Markov's rendition for the desert island.
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.
Because a big bunch of kids who had never heard a concert violinist play nor of Paganini were directed by some movie or whatever to Garrett in The Devil's Violinist.
Anyone can explain how paganini could have played on the canon with a fingerboard 8 mm to short on a string lenth of 330mm ?? I am curious if anyone can demonstrate this magical ability ?
what an amazing sounding instrument, luckily it's played by someone with great skill. this is very nice to hear. I was searching for a new violinist to get into after Perlman I didn't think I'd find one I personally would like to listen to but this Markov this excellent. Markov = Very Yes XD
When played at this heaven's level of perfection as Markov, there is no more idiotic comment then sharp and definitive comparing of Markov's interpretation with other famous musicions for finding who is "better". That can be done only by people who are not here much for music and care a lot about something out of art. Very much out. On some easier pieces it is much more appropriate to compare interpretations of famous musicians, but real art devotees even then rarely use attributes like "better". With this level of playing piece with highest musical demands, player like Markov goes to the utmost achievement he can possibly reach. So his music in this situation comprises all his emotional, physical or whatever energy he has, gathered in this moment of time by his magical talent in his unique way he is made by God as a human being. There is no "better" when someone, already top performer plays one of hardest pieces ever, and does his maximum. They are all "better", if you like. This is not athletic competition. Not sport, but music, pure and highest. So, hursh comparison of two top performers, playing this "top" piece, is similar to discussing God's will in a certain way. Of course we can prefer one's performance more, naturally. But these highest skill players gift us with all their being without any atom in reserve, and offering that to us listeners and spectators and musicians as a window to music heavens, so announcing one of them to be absolutely "better" is a matter of very, very bad musical taste, bad manners, low education or bad personality.
I agree. Alexander Markov is an unparalleled gift to humanity! But luckily there are a number of virtuosos who can transport us to the very highest spiritual plane. There is only profound appreciation and reverence for these masters of their art.

The way he plays the pizzicato part at 2:51 is the one the most amazing things i've ever seen.

@@math9172 nah, twoset are mostly cool, i don't mind them.
@@math9172 Alexander does it better than Brett imo Eddy's pizz tho is bad lol
@@marinezxxlgaming well you're a bit stupid aren't you?
its hard to believe that he played this AFTER 23 other caprices without a break
Holy cow
Godamm
I saw him play this live...I almost peed myself. He's amazing.
Nah I don't believe that you saw him play this live
He's the only one who can play it.
let it sink in for ONE second that this was paganini's warmup.
Ling ling warms up with this piece 2x speed only on the G string.
@@MCDreng I have read that Paganini played everything on the G string, so there you go: Paganini is the Ling Ling of his time

he@@robertselims9149 heifetz played it like a master, Markov played it like a virtuoso
Ningún judío toca markov.
I think this is the closest we get to how Paganini probably played it.
I prefer Jasha Heifetz's, but this is also amazing.
+germanpenn Heifeitz played too safe. and was occasionally too slow.
Paganini had never played this piece. He did use it to give practice to other people though (that's for what I know)
Yvonne no. alexanders is much more impressive
Yvonne yes. yes he can.
this caprice conveys something, i can only decribe as the spark of insanity.

bravissimo markov!
Excellent. Well said. I am attempting to record these. There needs to be more people like you in the world.
5 years later...
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
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.
at 2:51 HOW?!?!!!!! amazing
So cool when the masters really show off their stuff.
I SAW IT TOO!
Maria Gomes
Maria Gomes left hand pizz is the eaiest part if this song imo also the most fun ^^
+Yoo Sung Lee not for everyone
for me there are easier parts in this piece
The best interpretation I have ever seen!!! So beautiful and perfect thanks !!!!
Saw him play this live and was coached by him in a master class last weekend and I don't think I've ever been more nervous in my life to play in front of someone
He was pretty cool, Hi Mary
@annuna he is hilarious I learn with his dad so I see him quite a bit
You should feel blessed. Not nervous.
Oh god, I would be a nervous wreck.

Sounded like droplets. In the exact rhythm and timing of nature.
@@pingish If you´re looking for nature in classical music I don´t pretty believe Paganini stands for that though, xD
@@germangarciamartinez4097 Not sure really, I heard a story from long ago where an audience member claimed that Paganini would imitate the sounds of bird songs on his violin among others like that
The best part of his playing is the subtle difference when it's repeated, which Heifetz did it and emphasized in his teaching.
Bravissimo~~
Remarkable, he really nailed this , the only person who can do justice to this legendary piece of music
He is the living Paganini. No one even compares to him in playing Paganini, esp. this caprice. Cannot stop listening to this.
Heifetz
Hilary
Obstrach sorry if i spelled wrong
Briesler
Well in my opinion you should listen to heifetz performance
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.
The Best interpretation to me. Paganini would be soooooo proud!!!!!
This is so awesome... I know it needs more than this, but I have no words

Bravo! Il suo pizzicato viene proprio dal diavolo, come da Paganini stesso!
His playing is actually the redefinition to the concept of virtuosity
A legjobb előadás amit hallottam, kivéve Milsteint!
Őt nem lehet felülmúlni!
glad to see someone else playing my warmup
DAMN. This is my favorite piece so far, and he plays it the BEST. It's killing me how good it is!
This guys plays with the passion of Paganini.
Это уникально браво! 👏🏻 Is genius bravo to you 👏🏻💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
BELÍSSIMO O CAPRICE 24 NA INTERPRETAÇÃO DE ALEXANDER MARCOV. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
SO much attitude & conviction in his interpretation & execution.
2:51? More like 4:12. That level of bow control my goodness.
Yeah!! 4:07 the uprising scale in ricochet!!! Impossible....
Yeah but I dont know if you know how DAMN difficult It is to do the left hand pizzicato. Doing it as fast (hadn't seen anyone do it like that before) is very very very difficult and surprising

Nah 2:51 better
@@YEETMAN-dt9mb You know what you're saying, right?
this gave me so many goosebumps i was surprised
I have the great oportunity to listen to him yesterday, it was STUNNING!
Part at 3:11 = Master's touch.

EXCELENTE E MELHOR INTERPRETAÇÃO DO CAPRICIO 24 DE PAGANINI!!!
Hoje em dia ninguém mais gosta dessas artes😔
insane pizzicato!
The Pizzicato was perfectly beautiful...
Absolutely brilliant. Filled with vitality and virtuosity. Of this, I dig.
A mi gusto, la mejor interpretación de esta obra... Markov hace lo que quiere...
Excelente performance, muito bom mesmo, um dia quero quero chegar a este nivel, parabéns!!!!
Virtuosidade.
Bravo!
Simply perfection
he came to my high school today and played for our school orchestra :)
This dude have the right paganini emotional way at the violin. He can play exactly that paganini could do that. Love that, master.🙏🏾
Невероятно ! Брависсимо!❤
Brilliant
Superb!!!!!
Exquisitely musical performance, superb tone!
PERFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT !!!!!!!
More I see this video, less I can't believe it....it is just amazing, no words !
oh my god the entrance into the plucking part was astonishing!
Excellent
Futureviolin best wishes from germany🎉
Wouldn't it be distracting having the camera circle around you like that while playing?
simply wonderlful
amazing! amazing HQ too. godly pizz
Alexander is a music genius. I really love the improvisation...
Это лучшее исполнение 24 Каприсса, что я слышал.....
Surely perfection itself.
Epic can't even begin to describe one of his bowstrings.
OMG the left hand pizzicato @2:51 was the best thing I’ve ever heard🤤
Ой, наш Марков.
Alexander u are best
Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20/20
C'est parfait.
MERAVIGLIOSO
Bravo bravissimo!
It gave me thrills.. I needed to turn up the lights while watching him.
insane left hand pizz. :O
Vita brevis, ars longa!!! Genie!!!
who the hell gave this a thumbs down? Markov has been my 24 caprices hero since i was a teenager. nobody but Rabin was/is on the same level, imo. and if i had to choose, i'd take Markov's rendition for the desert island.
Markov is my favorite as well. But if you haven't heard it yet, check out Shlomo Mintz. His #5 is jaw-dropping.
Optimum45 thanks for bringing me to Mintz ! this is awseome.
Check out David garret!! Idk whether he is this good but he is definitely amazing by my standards!!!!!
Katie Wright sorry than you have no standards.

Wow that was just Amazing!!!
pure magic !
awesome!!!!
impresionante!!!!! nada mas que decir del sr alexander markov

There's ning feng who is also really good at technical stuff
For example, Rabin, Perlman.
I like the mannerisms of Paganini drawings in the playing.
Besides being an excellent performance!
Oh my God...Such perfect...beautiful...I can´t say it in words what I´m feeling right now ..
2:51 I`m waiting for the day we build robots to do that :|
to non musicians and new listeners, it would sound the same, but its the emotion and effort, the technique and time, that makes the differences.
It’s 2:52
Didn't even break a sweat, what a legend.
he came to my high school today and performed for my orchestra :)
You write it "Markov" and read it "Paganini".
He even looks a bit like him...
How the fk did this only get only 242K views after 10 years??
