Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840)
24 Caprices op. 1
Piano accompainment: Robert Schumann (Nos 1-23)
David Garrett - violin
Bruno Canino - piano
Duncan Druce described the album in Gramophon Magazine 1997 as follows:
"In recent years, several teenage virtuosos have recorded the Paganini Caprices – Midori (Sony Classical, 3/90) and James Ehnes (Telarc, 9/96), for instance. The exposed technical demands of this music certainly provide a severe test of a violinist’s capabilities, and David Garrett (b.1980) survives the ordeal in great style, .... The dark, expansive playing by Garrett and Canino of the Fourth Caprice is compelling, making one realize as never before Paganini’s fascination for the romantic composers following him..."
