this is the true art

[@pablodesarasate499]

yes

[@violinhunter2]

My three simple measures of a good fiddler: (1) play in tune, (2) "sing" like a Russian, and (3) play every note .... You never look like you are trying to play - you just play "effortlessly"..... like Gitlis, Heifetz, Francescatti, Milstein,.... Even these "etudes" are immensely enjoyable. Bravissimo!!!

[@sanmao3333]

great tips with being fiddler!

[@lakatos1683]

The only thing missing from this performance is explosive applause at the end--remarkable playing.

[@nakwonchoi3046]

Ahhhhhh man after listening to this I just feel like I've had a perfect set dinner which would worth hundreds of dollars. So satisfying, so celestial, so musically captivating! Much love and respect goes to you, Antal!!!! Congratulations on completion of this wonderful recording.

[@MsOblivius]

Thank You so much !!.. 30 years ago when i was in music school (played guitar and piano, some violin) i used to listen to a cassette tape of Nicolo's 24 caprices while driving, every day... The degree of difficulty is incredible and you sir, have mastered it... Found this today and im so happy...

[@elifeldi7499]

Very well played! It's kinda funny how the shirt changes after each Caprice... :)

[@lapidations]

Because different days. No one can play more than 1 or so caprices in the same day or they will lose their music forever. Or so says the legend.

[@matthewgonzalez2040]

lapidations thats is completely inaccurate. Several people have played all the caprices in one concert. I can list some for you if you would like. :)

[@samuelfowler3082]

This is one of the best recordings of the caprices I have heard. Thank you very much for posting you are an amazing violinist.

[@adrianfernandez894]

How does this video not have millions of views?!!

[@TheRedverb]

Adrian Fernandez, It took me years to even understand the language of this kind of music. I come from pop, rock and hop hop. I'm an 80's "baby" now 38, and for the longest time, try as I might, I could not stomach this type of music. It just didn't fit what I believed music should be, no pounding drums, a lack of easily digested hooks and melodies, lengthy multi-note passages. I lost interest in all music (yes, it's an actual thing that happens) abount 6 years ago. Only recently have certain aspects, esthetics, tonalities so forth been standing out to me... particularly those from this genre of music, from this specific composer. All of a sudden it speaks to me and I can understand enough of what it's saying to encourage me to keep listening...closely. I had to mature out of one kind of music and into another, so I can't do a better job at explaining why this vid has so few views but I can account for the number of times I've watched it.

[@DVZM.]

@Med dy This is not meant to be a beautiful music that people should listen to. It's to practice technique.

[@CelloMaster2000]

DVSM- Dude, learn to appreciate beautiful music. Yeah, these caprices are great for technique, but right now, I’m listening to all of them for the first time, and I’m captivated, especially by the minor caprices. This guy really helps by being an amazing violinist, but the caprices, and Paganini himself, are amazing representatives of classical music to the outside world, maybe not the most well known, but definitely overqualified candidates. If some people can come from rock to classical through the caprices, doesn’t that raise the credibility of them being beautiful pieces? All I’m saying is, that practice pieces can sound beautiful too, not just performance pieces

[@ravithangiralaviolin1201]

Spectacular, no violinist I have ever heard has played every single Paganini caprice with such a beautiful tone!

I am blown away by this. I challenge anyone to find a more beautiful rendition of the beloved caprices on the internet. But it’s not a competition of course, this wonderful playing stands on its own and the test of time. The highest of respect. ❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Спасибо выдающемуся музыканту за прекрасное исполнение всех каприсов Паганини. И отдельная благодарность за визуализацию нот композитора.

[@jacquelineparry8358]

Absolutely spectacular. I love the way you play - your technique and emotion are inspiring. :)

[@AntalZalai]

Thank you very much! :-)

[@groaman]

We should be sure not to confuse emotion with expressiveness. The Caprices are characteristic, but they are not necessarily emotional.

[@Miguelplaysgaming]

Antal Zalai no 21 is very emotional imo

[@benmartin8321]

@@groaman I know your comment was 2 yrs ago but had to just say I disagree with the caprices not being emotional. All Paganini work is very expressive and emotional imo. The difference is there are so many colour changes within just 1 caprice that it's can be difficult to really recognise the intention of the compos or before it changes again. The performer gets the choice of what they want to highlight in each caprice I guess.

[@relativity9102]

[@antoniodantas8281]

I like very much the way you play Paganini. Clear, precise and at perfect speed. When they interpret too quickly, in my opinion, it takes away from the beauty of the caprice. Congatulation.

Amazing performance, Mr Zalaï, congratulations. As a violinist myself who has played some of those caprices, I can also relate! One of the best version of them I have ever heard, with unique phrasing and musicality. Thank you, and bravo!
