About

This release is the First Complete Edition of Paganini’s works for violin and orchestra and will undoubtedly be a welcome addition to the record collection of the many admirers of the great Genovese violinist.

The main performers are two of the finest interpreters of Paganini - Massimo Quarta and Salvatore Accardo - who are not only impeccable violinists from a technical point of view but also refined readers of Paganini’s music.

The Violin Concertos are a philological version, based on the original manuscripts, recorded for Dynamic after several years of research. Concerto No.1 in particular is performed in its original tonality of E flat Major (rather than D Major), with the violin tuned half a tone higher. All six Concertos are performed on Paganini’s violin.

As a bonus, CD 8 contains two Concertos (nos. 1 & 4) performed by two of the greatest 20th-century interpreters of Paganini’s music: Yehudi Menuhin and Ruggiero Ricci.
