I used to work night shift at a factory...I'd get off a 12 hour shit...get a six pack...ride old dirt roads at 10 mile an hour...and listen to this and watch the sun come up...
I've been listening this over 10 years. Still I didn't find a better version of no:24. I believe that No:24 cannot be played better than this. The only bad side of this performance is the video quality.
@@LiwaySaGu, have you heard this performance by John Williams? Better tonal control, uses different tone at the right time together with his phrasing. He is the best, in my opinion: ua-cam.com/video/Z4hI0fqoqSI/v-deo.html
I have found my clan.. there is no better version, this is perfection in its truest form and the sheer scale of her nuance makes up for poor recording quality.. which it was masterfully recorded just overly compressed over the years on youtoobs.. to get the original recording would be devine
There is emotion in this performance, people are just to blind to see it, the way she has perfected to play shows the emotion and love that she has for music, just because some people dont dance when they play is doesn't mean they love music less, any true musician would know this
This is the only perfect UA-cam video, absolutely noone on this planet alien or otherwise can find anything that couldn’t be done better than Li Jie’s performance here.
Phenomenal- the depth and intensity> she is putting everything in her, heart and soul, into her playing. There are no words sufficient to adequately describe her genius!
THANK YOU, Ms Li !!! Wow . . . This is the benchmark; in my opinion, the best performance of Caprice Nº24. Wonderful! Amazing tone, even in the fastest passages. Great phrasing. For the first time, I was able to enjoy the phrasing, despite the blinding velocity inherent in the work.
Holy crap. This is one of the better classical guitar performances I have seen. Just amazing. As a guitarist myself, I can fully appreciate and respect the extreme talent we all have the privilege of watching in the video. Utterly jaw-dropping.
To echo what everyone is stating: this is by far the best performance of this piece. Hands down. Like so many others I remember watching this in the early to mid 2000s and being absolutely blown away by this. Even almost 20 years later it’s still incredible.
LI JIE born 1981 china,started playing at 11 under Professor CHEN ZHI her solo dvd is on SHINE HORN called CLASSICAL GUITAR. All these vids are from that DVD recorded about 11 yrs ago. I have tried to get the DVD but had no luck here in England Hope this helps PELIVIER Good luck
I saw her at Universal Citywalk in LA last month. She was on her break and sitting next to some other musician guy. I wish I could have stayed and listened. It was in front of Jamba Juice where the Argentinian pan piper is always playing. People from L.A. know what im talking about?
I Always return to this masterpiece at least once a year, her precision and feeling is absolutely perfect. Jascha Heifetz rules the violin, but Li Jie is the undisputed guiutar master!
Best performance of this piece on a classical guitar that I have ever heard. Hasn´t ever been topped since I first heard it over 10 years ago, and I doubt that it will ever be.
I only know enough about guitars to know how many modes, styles, and patterns are implemented here. Maybe if I were started at an age before 25 and had an actual talent.... I could almost fake one or two of these fantastic sections of this piece. I know enough to be in awe, but not enough to really appreciate the sheer amount of talent effortlessly dumped into this flawless rendition of a piece repurposed to another instrument (beyond what my imagination could ever render). Smart enough to know I'm to dumb to know what is really going on here. I have appreciated this recording for years, and imagine I will continue to enjoy it for years to come.
Hands down this is the best version I've seen and listened on youtube. Played with confidence and the execution is super clean. An audience could't ask for more. Brava.
This is more than stunning! This lady can take her place among the great guitarists. I'm very impressed by this perfectness and ofcourse charmed by this enormous and absolutely pure musical expression.
Absolutely amazing. Even the thought of memorising this piece is astounding, let alone playing it with such mastery. Anyone complaining about this performance - just step up with your guitar and give the rest of us a laugh..........
it is amazing performance and she owns a unique spirit while playing, happy the guy who can get it. thank you very much this was my childhood dreams. you restored my soal.
Aku sudah mendengarkan ini selama 13 tahun berulang ulang..dan mencari cari gitaris lain di youtube yang memainkan paganini caprice 24...cuman permainan li jie ini yang bersih..permaianan harmoniknya sangat bagus permainannya sangat berkualitas dan syarat skill yang di atas rata rata best of the best 👍👍👍👍👍💫💫💫💫💫
Toca maravillosamente bién. No he encontrado quien toque mejor. Tal vez Paco de lucía en lo suyo (El Flamenco) pero encuentro que esta jovencita tiene un talento excepcional.
such a good interpretation. I never get sick of her version. I've listened to the original violin version but felt that it lacked emotion... Li Jie + guitar + wonderful song = awesomeness.
this is incredible. she is so good at that. cant stop listening to this it's such a good rendition of one of the best classical pieces ever. she should play rhythm guitar for yngwie malmsteen that would be amazing.
marco meury When she got these videos in 1992,she was only 11 yeas old.Now she is a professor in a university which is one of the most great university in China.
She has received tremendous international attention and has highly praised by many celebrated masters, such as Professor Michael Lewin of The Royal Academy of Music, John Williams, Alexander Sergei Ramirez, and Lachine Suzuki, to name a few -wiki obviously youtubers speaking ill of her has no idea what they are listening to
Been coming back to this video almost since the beginning of UA-cam. Masterful performance.
same here. its been almost 20 years. there was a video uploaded before this one i do believe
Same
Same man I remember this video back in the noughties
I used to work night shift at a factory...I'd get off a 12 hour shit...get a six pack...ride old dirt roads at 10 mile an hour...and listen to this and watch the sun come up...
4:10 is about the time the mushrooms that my coworker gave me on break would kick in...
Her accuracy is... beyond astounding.
i don't care if its 144p. 12 years later, its still some of the best goddamn guitar playing i've ever heard.
me too , i don't know why , but its in my ear for more then 12 years now
I would kill for a crystal clean high quality recording of this exact performance.. this is godly talent and damned near perfection
I’ve been watching her videos for years. This is basically flawless
5:16 - 5:42 is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. She plays and mutes the natural harmonics flawlessly. It's brilliant.
I've been listening this over 10 years. Still I didn't find a better version of no:24. I believe that No:24 cannot be played better than this. The only bad side of this performance is the video quality.
agree, i have also been listening to this since 2011. although i secretly hope i'll come across a better version, i haven't found one yet
@@LiwaySaGu, have you heard this performance by John Williams? Better tonal control, uses different tone at the right time together with his phrasing. He is the best, in my opinion:
ua-cam.com/video/Z4hI0fqoqSI/v-deo.html
Totally agree, it have been 15 years for me. Tonight it move me again.
I have found my clan.. there is no better version, this is perfection in its truest form and the sheer scale of her nuance makes up for poor recording quality.. which it was masterfully recorded just overly compressed over the years on youtoobs.. to get the original recording would be devine
Thats the perfect version
Watched it countless times over the years. It brought tears to my eyes every time. Best of the best.
There is emotion in this performance, people are just to blind to see it, the way she has perfected to play shows the emotion and love that she has for music, just because some people dont dance when they play is doesn't mean they love music less, any true musician would know this
Hands down one of the best performances of any piece ever. This is just incredible!
Check this out…..ua-cam.com/video/q_qtxzEdfbU/v-deo.html
@@miguelavalos4358 Oh Yeah, Irina Kulikova is an amazing performer. Absolutely love her playing.
Seven minutes and 44 seconds of pure beauty.
I have watched it over twenty times
can't get bored with it
この曲を歌っているように感じました、ご演奏で。歌えば歌うほど演奏に作品からの遊びのようなものが生まれたり、作品に基づいた独創的な演奏が創造されて行くのですかね。
とっても素敵なご演奏、ありがとうございました。

This is the only perfect UA-cam video, absolutely noone on this planet alien or otherwise can find anything that couldn’t be done better than Li Jie’s performance here.
The clarity and feeling she gets out of that guitar is nuts.
Have to admit that this is perfect..no questions asked. Floored me..
Phenomenal- the depth and intensity> she is putting everything in her, heart and soul, into her playing. There are no words sufficient to adequately describe her genius!
Still the best version. 2024
Check out a new version by Haeun Jang. Sounds pretty good.
This performance has remained one of the best. Period!
THANK YOU, Ms Li !!! Wow . . . This is the benchmark; in my opinion, the best performance of Caprice Nº24. Wonderful! Amazing tone, even in the fastest passages. Great phrasing. For the first time, I was able to enjoy the phrasing, despite the blinding velocity inherent in the work.

this lady greatly inspires me.

true classic is the very origin of metal.
this one is a true classic piece for sure!
I Always return to this masterpiece at least once a year, her precision and feeling is absolutely perfect. Jascha Heifetz rules the violin, but Li Jie is the undisputed guiutar master!
every time i come back to this it is more astounding. Strong hands!
I’ve been listening to this piece since the 90’s. Li Jie is so elegant and skilful. Hope I can meet her one day,
I've been listening to this for ten years now. Still amazing. Wish she was more internationally known so I can see her perform in the States.
20 years for me. My dad got me the original DVD 📀 when I was in primary school.
Kinda crazy that this was when she was 12 or 13, only learn classical guitar for one year.
@@NoryLevi No way, that can't be true not in one year, she's probably been playing since she was a young child would be my guess.
@@jameslong9921 she played guitar before, but this show was filmed only one year after she was being trained in classical for a year
Best performance of this piece on a classical guitar that I have ever heard. Hasn´t ever been topped since I first heard it over 10 years ago, and I doubt that it will ever be.

Amazing, unsurpassed playing! Pure genius that should take lifetimes to accomplish....
Què facilidad tan asombrosa de ejecutar la
guitarra,indudablemente LI JIE es una gran
artista insuperable!.

sweet pure innocence... this world needs to see more Li Jie
I love Chinese culture for its meditative perfection;
it's unbelievable - look in her face, there's absolutely nothing but her fingers and the guitar.
Extraordinario talento demuestra la srta LI,si
tiene expresión y sentimiento y una gran dulzura en su magistral ejecución.
Adelante pues LI!!!!
Это что-то невероятное!Умница!Браво!
i've seen several of this rendition of paganini parice no.24,i like this one the best.
Absolutely amazing. Even the thought of memorising this piece is astounding, let alone playing it with such mastery. Anyone complaining about this performance - just step up with your guitar and give the rest of us a laugh..........
This is perfection. Li Jie is perfection.

thank you very much this was my childhood dreams. you restored my soal.
Lo he visto unas 20 veces, es genial, maravilloso.
5:15 mind blowing muted harmonic staccato. Amazing control. Fantastic playing, I'm not sure if anyone can top this version
Never saw a heard a better version on UA-cam or elsewhere. There are many fantastic interpretation, but this one is out of this world.
Best version on youtube!
Completely agree.

With how good this girl is, she obviously loves this music. That's why she is so talented, not because she has been forced to be good.
This is... WOW... this is AMAZING!

Li, you play with such technique and perfection. Bravo! Encore!
Gran técnica, sonido claro y limpio, gran arreglo.
Li Jie is one of the finest artists.
All of them.
I tabbed this by ear and just watching this video, the arpeggio section is insane. I can't even come close to half the the speed
such a good interpretation. I never get sick of her version. I've listened to the original violin version but felt that it lacked emotion... Li Jie + guitar + wonderful song = awesomeness.
very best performance on guitar that i have ever seen in my life ,what an wanderful sound of guitar it is
amazing performance, simply amazing...Playing paganini on quitar like that is just awesome.
this is incredible. she is so good at that. cant stop listening to this it's such a good rendition of one of the best classical pieces ever. she should play rhythm guitar for yngwie malmsteen that would be amazing.
Some of the stretches across the frets that she manages is beyond belief.
C'est magnifique.
Bravo et merci.
Это просто невыразимо обалденно!
gropp guitars and incredible talent!
awesome song, awesome performance! she rocks!
fantastic!!!!!!!!
Amazing!! The voice of God!!
Damn...listen to how she manages to get every one of those mute notes to ring our at around 5:15? Friggin' brilliant...
so beautiful
beautiful nuances in her playing.
This slaps 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great ans so young...wooww..
marco meury When she got these videos in 1992,she was only 11 yeas old.Now she is a professor in a university which is one of the most great university in China.
no hay otra como tu,eres la mejor
I'm throwing my guitar away
I'm throwing my hands away
Your Both are funny . Both have to throw away😀
I think her reaction to listening to something like this was "I must buy a guitar"
fucking agree
I’m throwing my guitar away and buying a guitar.
Simply.....wow.
Wonderful!
Wow! Oh my word. Such discipline and technique....
She has received tremendous international attention and has highly praised by many celebrated masters, such as Professor Michael Lewin of The Royal Academy of Music, John Williams, Alexander Sergei Ramirez, and Lachine Suzuki, to name a few -wiki
obviously youtubers speaking ill of her has no idea what they are listening to
incredible!
