Violinist and composer Albert Markov plays his arrangement of Paganini's Venetian Carnival. Piano: Andrey Mytnick. Filmed in Moscow in 1971 and restored by Triatsetat TV.
There are so many wonderful things about this short video. But the two that really stand out for me are his elegance and his perfect violin technique. His right hand is a thing of beauty. Supple, yet sure. And his left hand is amazing. Relaxed and properly framed, regardless of where it is on the fingerboard. The pedagogical value demonstrated by Mr Markov here is matched by his artistry and wizardry. Thank you for sharing this video!
You said it better than me! I totally agree! Albert Markov is an amazing musician and artist. His technique is just unbelievable! A true master of the violin!!
BTW, you may want to check out what Augustin Hadelich does with Paganini, Mendelssohn, Sibelius, Brahms, etc. He's absolutely unbelievable (and, honestly, I never even heard of him before yesterday!!!).
Yes! Totally agree. Hadelich is in a class by himself. He has a unique, signature sound. And everything he plays is refreshing and inimitable. You ought to subscribe to his channel. Hadelich is a great artist and equally great violin teacher. Cheers!
Боже мой, я даже не знала, что был такой блестящий скрипач-виртуоз!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Теперь буду искать в интернете записи великолепнейшего Альберта Маркова!!!!!!!!!!!!!! БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so awesome. this kind of performance where you physically do not do a "show" to please the audience is almost gone nowadays. Albert Markov only makes the most necessary movements to play the violin. and no unnecessary wobble back and forth. Such a pleasure to hear and watch this.
He and his brother? Alexander are now my favourites along with Heifetz. Definitely, he is is elegantly poised and confident without any stress. Beautiful right and left hand techniques. Just by watching and listening to this great man is a lesson in itself. When any violinist feels down and disappointed with their progress, just watch this video. It will inspire you. Keep watching and learn.
the sketchy audio actually adds to the music, I love the far-off, underwater sound of this recording, adds a hint of magic to this beautiful piece that you couldn't get in a live concert (yes this is me trying to make myself feel better about never being able to see this performance live but it's still true goddamnit)
this is a very late reply - I know you wrote this a long time ago. But the "far off underwater sound" is probably unintentional. The former Soviet Union was very much behind the times as far as film in the 1970s - case in point, they use black and white because it was undoubtedly less expensive. The sound quality comes off nicely, doesn't it? But this is completely in spite of the cheap production they did - probably one microphone for both instruments! Still, nice to know that great playing sounds great always, despite the circumstances. Markov emigrated to this country not about a decade later, maybe less, and taught at several of the top New York music schools. At the same time, his son Alexander, who is still very active performer today at age 60-something, was just starting to hit his stride as a violinist. He has had a different sort of career than his father, in a good way. Alexander is far less academic than Albert but he still plays outstandingly well.
What an outrageously fabulous rendition : the style, brilliance of his technique , elegance and the arrangement itself ( a là Kreisler) are absolutely staggering !!!) So grateful for this upload !!)
This performance is so different to many others. It is smooth, and void of the staccato expression of notes. I do not know that which I prefer, but I am glad music can be interpreted. I enjoyed this. Thank you.
Впервые я услышала эту великолепную миниатюру в шутливо-агрессивном исполнении Вадим Репина.Мне оно очень нравится. А сейчас мне очень понравилось и это мелодичное исполнение. Прекрасно.
Where it says ‘After N. Paganini’ does that mean ‘in the style of’? Pardon my ignorance. I have only recently come across this piece because I have learned that my great great grandfather was a concert violinist and this was his signature piece. He toured the UK playing at Soirée’s and Theaters. He was a French Multi linguist from India. Was trained in Paris under M. Habenack at the Conservatoire of Musique. I must confess, this piece sets my nerves on edge. 😊
I can't understand how can anyone give a negative feedback to this video. It's simply fantastic in anyway, technique, or musicaly.
Some people don't like mustache :(
just envy
Старая школа,это высшая степень мастерства.
Bow changes that could make a grown man cry
Sure! A grown woman too! Well said

As always very well said. I am glad to read your comments.
We all are leading from our love to nusic and violin.
Greetings
Elegance, charisma, music and total quality
+1 to a musician of the old school, who lets the music and his talent stand, and doesn't need to act out every note on his face
Боже мой, я даже не знала, что был такой блестящий скрипач-виртуоз!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Теперь буду искать в интернете записи великолепнейшего Альберта Маркова!!!!!!!!!!!!!! БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!
Он еще жив кстати
Его крепко подчистили из эфиров после эмиграции, в совке такого не прощали.
За роялем мой родной дядя, Андрей Мытник, редкая запись с Марковым.
This great violinist teaches at the Manhattan School. It would be such a privilege to study with him. There are so few great masters like him.
Изумительно!!!
Heifetz told to his student -
"Watch your hand"
And two Markoves exactly do that.
This is so awesome. this kind of performance where you physically do not do a "show" to please the audience is almost gone nowadays. Albert Markov only makes the most necessary movements to play the violin. and no unnecessary wobble back and forth. Such a pleasure to hear and watch this.
The technique is perfect, the tone mellow, the musicality delightful.
No words are enough to describe his wonderful violin playing skills
A wonderful violinist! Perfect technical command.
Fabulosa interpretación del Carnaval de Venecia , el Genial Violinista con un sonido y timbre impresionante .
What a fantastic performance! 👏
Quelle aisance... 😍🤩
Jeu de rêve, FANTASTIQUE.!
Merci pour cette pépite !
By far the best rendition of this piece I have ever heard!!! You can't get it better than this. Simply ingenious!
Never seen him before, what an elegant musician. Came here from Alexander Markov, proud son and proud father I should imagine.
He plays brilliantly with such ease!
Bravissimo il violinista e bravo anche il pianista, grazie.
Wow, an amazing performance!

I think Alexander is his son
