One of my favorite musicians and humans, violinist #JessicaMoss (of #SilverMtZion, #OiseauxTempete, etc.), has put up a 42-minute live performance as a name-your-price, with all proceeds going to UNRWA. Check it out for #BandcampFriday, along with her other solo work (I highly recommend her 2021 album, Phosphenes).

From 2013, an outstanding performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin concerto by Julia Fischer; even though the video is fairly low resolution, it was fun watching for the many closeups of her playing.
Konzert-Preview: Bei seinem kommenden Besuch in der Elbphilharmonie am 03.02.24 kann das Sinfonieorchester Musikkollegium Winterthur ein interessantes Programm präsentieren.
Paganini's 24 caprices are virtuosic and shred. I feel like Caprice No. 5 is perhaps the most metal feeling of them all with a little head banging rhythm thrown in.
The featured soloist is the amazing Augustin Hadelich! Check out his channel for this video, the other 23 caprices, and so much more. He himself is metal!
