While most of the time we flutists are happy stealing pieces from violins, for Paganini’s Caprice No 5, I’m happy to just left it to the violinists.
I like Itzhak Perlman’s version because he tends to speed up at hard parts, which makes him sound even more impressive and very satisfying to listen to. You feel the momentum and the piece is actually moving forward instead of stuck by a technical bottleneck:
And plus there’s a famous meme “I know I played every note!”. (Perlman was explaining acoustic/echoing in concert halls. When the venue is very echoey, fast notes can sound blurred together in a mess)
