She has the best intonation I've ever heard from a classical violinist. Passion, interpretation...it's like this is exactly how the music is supposed to sound. Remarkable.

[beckchen]

Simply speechless...saying that it is perfect almost sounds like an insult because that would've been boring. Never imagined Paganini 4 to be so moving

[rae_halvi]

how can she make this piece sooo interesting to listen to? I don't even like to listen to Paganini for so long. yet here I am not even skipping.

[enver.]

María dueñas is literaly my violin crush 😅

Maria sei di una bravura prodigiosa e una sensibilità incredibile, sei un dono di Dio. Io non so suonare nessuno strumento ma ho sempre amato il violino da quando ascoltai Uto Ughi suonare Paganini. Grazie infinite Maria !! ❤❤❤

[hkbfyox]

I'm really impressed by her technique. This is definitely one of the most difficult paganini caprices but she looks so comfortable. Her musicality is amazing too!

[MrBubbaji]

So much meaning in every note, Maria. Brings tears to my eyes.

[fdyt]

Probably the best intonation you can hear today. I think that all the big violinist would pay to play like that, speechless.

[Velascoooo]

Its... Scary.



One of my favorite interpretations ever

[linkendryu]

Wow realmente visualize el escenario. Muy buena interpretación.

[violinhunter]

This is the toughest Caprice in Paganini's collection. Unbelievable playing. I really don't know what to say that would sufficiently render my profound respect and admiration for you Maria. How did you get to be so spectacular? Only God knows.

I have heard this piece by many violinists but this is the first time it has come alive and really takes you on a journey. It isn't just violinist showmanship. It's really expressive music.

Más descubro interpretaciones de María.. más estoy persiadido.. que élla es un Milagro de la Historia de la Música..!
No puede ser que una persona tán joven.. asimile taaanta música antiquísima.. en su Memoria musical y de ejecución..! Es un Imposibleee..!.pero el milagro es Real..!!

The world has been bereft of Niccolo Paganini the performance artist for almost 200 years. Perhaps that long winter is now at an end.

[amerkhoury]

This is unbelievably incredible.. never heard Paganini 4 that passionate!

[adamsyed]

This is, bar none, the best interpretation of this Caprice in the world. Probably the best performance of it ever, since its composition in the early 1800s. I just recorded and uploaded my own version of this caprice, but it doesn't hold a candle to this one!

[wwjudasdo]

The chord played at 00:50 sends me to another place. All is right and good.

[edmondfokkervancrayestein]

Speechless and in awe. The most musical and exciting rendition ever. (And I’ve heard them all!)!!!

[TheUglyMan]

I don't know what to feel, just... Beautiful

[JulioBarrancoGalaviz]

I've heard this caprice from other masters, but this is the first time I really enjoyed it. It is not played by a senseless robot. A lot of drama and emotion into it. Congrats!
