The 6 Violin Concertos = -Die Violinkonzerte
Niccolò Paganini, a 19th-century Italian virtuoso, practically invented the modern violin concerto—his technical demands remain almost superhuman. Salvatore Accardo, perhaps the definitive modern interpreter of Paganini, handles these six concertos with the security and lyricism they demand. Backed by the London Philharmonic under Charles Dutoit, Accardo balances pyrotechnics with genuine music-making. These concertos feature dizzying passagework but also moments of unexpected tenderness and orchestral color. Dutoit ensures the accompaniment never falls away into mere background. The three-disc set captures Paganini as both technician and melodist—far richer than his reputation as a mere showman suggests. Ideal for anyone wanting to understand how the Romantic violin concerto truly works.
