Paganini: Capriccio No. 24

Augustin Hadelich, violin

This is so clean and controlled and musical! I'm just starting to discover his videos and I'm more amazed with every performance I listen.

[jeremyroquai]

Paganini just gave a Thumb up from the other world!

[snails]

Incredible how he has the fingerboard mapped out so cleanly to within a fraction of a millimetre

I saw him perform this with the Cleveland Orchestra in 2017. Outdoor venue with thousands of people hanging on every note. Breathtaking. I believe it was his encore. Afterwards the orchestra played The Planets by Gustav Holst and Augustin sat a few rows in front of us to listen. On my way out after the performance I was sure to shake his hand. I told him "Bravo!"

I love this performance. I never quite liked Paganini until I heard Mr. Hadelich play. Somehow he manages to conceal the difficulties behind a high musicality. Usually you get the difficulties thrown into your face and I dont like it. Wherever he is, Paganini is smiling.

[jamien.]

I have never heard such emotion from this piece...wow!

[bnaturalmusic]

So far, this was one of the best performances of Paganini Caprice no. 24 i've heard so far. The notes were so clear and the tempi are not rushed. Just wow.

[annazila]

3:05 I rewound this like 20 times just for the beginning of that downstroke...so much control.

[nmnmnm]

One of the best performances of this piece.

[andrewyarosh]

It is marvelous to imagine that a 50 up years from now, someone will say, “Yes, such-and-such performance was lovely, but I heard Haedelich……

[victorma]

They shouldn’t put make up to cover up his scars, those are part of what made him who he is and imo he’s so much beautiful with those scars.

[normantang]

His transition to fingered octaves at 0:57 is so seamless

[jukim]

🤭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m so grateful that I can watch this amazing performance in my room.

[chrishoward]

I love at how he lets the high notes really sing at the end... absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️

[davidleathers]

So beautiful... No other musician alive today can approach this level.

[xichang]

Bravo... he is one of the best violinists these days

[MH-zdtn]

Wow, incredible!!! Each variation more impressive then the last! Augustin is extremely talented and must work very hard for these accomplishments. Lots of admiration for him and joy from listening to him!

[markdezuba]

I saw him play this (I had a front row left seat) March 30, 2019 in Denver. The finger of God has blessed this man of music. And in return he has blessed audiences with the breath of life and the music of God's heart.

[jincervantes]

I like how Sir Augustin plays it different from the other violinists.

[pedrovicnt_]
