Classical music

I decided to check out Youtube's collection of classical music videos ^_^ What a haul! The very first video I watched was Jascha Heifetz's Paganini's Caprice No. 24
He's got a really beautiful tone, powerful and intense. Not only that, he has such a variety of emotional depths which he brings across so effectively, really feel like you're being led on a musical journey.



Sounds familiar? I think most people will be more familiar with Rachmaninoff's version

Just for fun, I found another Paganini Caprice no. 24 this time on the classical guitar by Li Jie
