Leila Josefowicz Plays Paganini - 1991

Leila Josefowicz, 13, plays Niccolo Paganini's "La Campanella" from Violin Concerto no.2 in Bm. John Williams conducts.

[@Alg0ritm0]

3 decades and I bet she's still playing as amazing as the first day. F.

[@domzale17]

My God she was only 13 when she played this, and it sounded so mature!

[@Rcoppin91]

Im sorry, she is one of the most talented violinsts ever. Just because she might not play the way you like, does not mean that she is not a fantastic violinist. She played the Viuextemps concerto when she was 12 better than anyone I have heard.

[@roystewart4386]

She’s amazing. Paganini’s compositions are intricate.

[@raist84]

Ashtonishing..... i think i wont be able to shut my mouth for a month or so. How can a 12 year old girl play one of the best campanellas I've ever heard? I must say that i was not a fan of Leila, but after this... she is one of my favorites right now!

[@williamwallace1854]

I saw her play Kreisler in this concert live (tv) in '91 and it changed something inside of me forever.

[@zzp1]

Paganini's daughter. No less!!!

[@battleblades]

This is absolutely fantastic. I can see the huge growth in musical maturity since the year before, when she played the Vieuxtemps. Even that was utterly spectacular as well. However, in one single year, she turned into a beautiful young girl and her playing improved tenfold in musicality. She makes La Campanella sound like the most musical piece ever written. Kudos to Ms. Josefowicz.

[@nystringsviolinchannelUSA]

She is absolutely Genius.God bless her🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@jovanottaaa]

She's really amazing!!!!!

[@magnetiktrax]

I bet the orchestra were shitting themselves having to keep up with her for those last few bars. She was (and still is) beyond incredible.

[@Bianpet]

Oh my god, best version i've heard yet. At 13 years old. WOW

[@augustocesar3257]

Quando alguém conseguir essa perfeição tocando ao vivo com orquestra me avisem, não achei nada igual até agora.bravissimo

[@frankcisyarmi]

Leila Josefowicz !!!!!!es un Amor increible version perfecta creo q viviras en el recuerdo de todos los q te vean o escuchen.

[@puhtek]

Incredible performance.

[@violatione]

You're sorely mistaken she is one of the best players on the planet. And she definitely deserves the aforementioned grant.

[@AndromedaAiken]

She makes me smile and want to dance when she plays. Absolutely heavenly.

[@alimahdances]

Very nice job!! Very enpresive!!

[@KCheO10]

She is fantastic....I love her!

[@frankcisyarmi]

Impresionante Leila Josefowicz !!!!!!

[@giuseppecattaneo4369]

Oltre che bravissima anche molto simpatica e comunicativa. tecnica impeccabile

[@loveplayingviolin]

amazing!!!

[@drahow]

How could anyone not like?

[@pabloboikoski5053]

Una belleza!!!

[@menoname3594]

There is so much shit in the world today and yet there is this. She is not only beautiful but the most amazing talent too. She grabs my heart with her music!

[@glennlie]

I have the music to Paganini's "La Campanella" from Violin Concerto no.2. and have folloed the music as she has been playing. And she is not skipping any difficult parts. This is just for your information. Yes, it is unbelieveable that a 13 year old can play like this, so I can understand your skeptisism. If you are in doubt just get the music and you can check for yourself.

[@roystewart4386]

Amazing performance of this marvellous composition by Nicolo Paganini. A fast paced piece performed to perfection. She certainly will have a successful career. Hard work made to look easy.

[@jascha1978]

whoa! what playing, in the bel canto style. i also like the concertmaster's glasses

[@frankcisyarmi]

genial Leyla Josefowicz !!!!! me gustaria poder ver el 1er,movto y 2mvto de este concierto gracias robotnik77 por subirlo

[@Revichviolin]

Really cool performance!))))

[@sidneykatherine7384]

How does the orchestra and the desk read their music in such darkness? Great performance, one of my favorites

[@Pizzafattaincasa350]

stop distracting me im trying to do homework XD ur too good

[@MerlinTheDraconic]

@p01v04 Yes, so much. It almost looks freakish. It's glorious.

[@yezzinfinity1444]

De todas las interpretaciones de campanella esta neta neta es de las mejores, love it

[@eladsinay6914]

she needs to be sponsored by WD-40 for the way her hands just slide effortlessly up and down the finger board. She truly is one of my all time favorites.

[@masael255]

Finally! I've been waiting for more videos of her! :D

[@unotelly]

@82224561 I read that her previous music agent was hated in the industry and that's the reason why she's not as famous as Hahn. Marketing is very important!

[@cookingprof]

I would like to know if there is anyone that confirm or deny that Leila attended a Masterclass in Tanglewood where Itzac Pearlman was the instructor. The legend is that when Mr. Pearlman heard her play on the first day he said; "You need a better fiddle". He then gave her the loan of a Stradivarius.

[@BBRENTTAGHAPP]

@sregnathan Sarah Chang, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Midori Goto, Leila Josefowicz, Adele Anthony, Janine Jansen, Ida Haendel, Viviane Hagner, Akiko Suwanai, Yuki Manuela, Rachel Podger, Sayaka Shoji, Hilary Hahn, etc. just to name a few.

[@leochanszewah]

Even perlman has to sit in second violin at 7:56

[@valdi4637]

Grandissima!

[@qiuli8523]

[@tropicalstrings]

[@BigCheeseRumble]

Wow!

[@edwardyang8462]

[@edwardyang8462]

How old??

[@sapientia73]

gorgeous

[@frankcisyarmi]

leila es un amor!!!!!! y a mi gusto creo la mejor version de la campanella q he escuchado junto a la de heifetz y acardo.

[@frankie6954]

She plays very much in the Heifetz tradition. But Heifetz never recorded this piece of music

[@frankcisyarmi]

tienes razon me debo haber equivocado con el capricho 24 de Paganini saludos!@@frankie6954

[@Zach__W513]

Thats an interesting bow grip

[@leoncioviolin]

bravoooo. buen tempo!!!!

[@jovanottaaa]

Yes she is!!! :)

[@cornel999]

she makes a lot of exaggerated tempo changes, but Williams and the orchestra are absolutely spot on, with her every single time. and of course her playing is freaky good, almost inhuman

[@timdevries6009]

I am 13 yo and when I am 15 I want to Curtis! I now play Ravel Tzigane. It is one of my favorite pieces!

[@violinundviola]

I think it's hilarious how pissed of she looks all the time... lol! It would be unnecessary for me to reiterate how absolutely perfect this playing is, though.

[@danielwowman]

shes skilled and cute to

[@marisolalba9492]

Wow 😮😮👏👏👏

[@DavidSmith-kc4hz]

One of my very favourite female violinists, now that she has matured into such a great artist. It is a show piece, don't forget, and not intended to be great academic music.. The object is to dazzle the audience with remarkable technique and that she does. Near perfect intonation and tenths, at thirteen? Tiny fingers producing such a warm tone. She sailed through that very difficult centre section with the fingered thirds and the cross-stringed work, unlike most others who have to slow down to get through it. Superb virtuoso. Brush up those left hand Pizz though.

[@pasqualepicone435]

Woww

[@popitoto]

@unotelly Yes,is one of the factors..

[@evelynliu202]

same here!

[@gksims]

Ah, you should see her now. She just keeps getting better.

[@tristan01101]

The woman behind her in the glasses disliked this video 4 times.

[@jason101other]

White girl can play! She is the definition of prodigy.

[@popitoto]

I like her! I have listened her in Paris some years ago playing Mendelssohn concerto;She was at Curtis Institut like Hiraly Hann...but now seems that Hilary is much better Known..?

[@tristan01101]

Look at her face while playing then and compare it to now. Loll.

[@punchaloo]

wow that is one prodigy... :D

[@shawkobezhu]

13??? Paganini would be impressed

[@SashaSteveBlair]

THAT IS FAST!!

[@sregnathan]

JULIA FISCHER !!!!! KY U WA CHUNG !!! VENESSA MAE !!! ANNA AKIKO MEYERS !!! DESERVES TO MENTION THEIR NAME ALSO

[@AlfredoRomioArtist]

Davvero commovente ç__ç

[@metalheadlass]

@Montesardi75 paganini was the Devil's violinist though LOL

[@geo35]

'A technically brilliant performance. (I'll bet Paganini wrote this back in his time so as to impress girls.)

[@metalheadlass]

@XMetalGuitarMasterX hahahaha but paganini is always about a race ;-D

[@Bercik87]

love the pice, but this is waaaaay too fast

[@angelrhodes1659]

prodigy.

[@charlesgoodman1808]

THE HERD WISH

[@ХристинаБенюк-ф2ъ]

нема слів

[@milstein91]

you wish you could play like that right?

[@violatione]

It's okay not to like someone's style. I don't like Anne Sophie Mutter's playing (except for her Beethoven). As for being obnoxious, nearly all concert artists are. In order to get that good you have to believe that you can be the greatest violinist ever, and a great many of them do.

[@lotusbuds2000]

Obviously virtuosic playing...but she plays the first theme too fast...no time to savor the melody

[@bayareapianist]

I thought this piece was written for piano ;) But it doesn't at all sound like the piano version. Piano can't sing like that :P

[@mashtali1]

what is the fucking rush???

[@rayshab6284]

Masht Ali, you should stick to baba karam.

[@Blueboyo1]

Just to prove that she can do it. And.... you can't.
