Composer's Artistic Vision
Paganini's concertos, unlike his Capriccios, were practical pieces he wrote for himself, intended for a public receptive to musical allusions.
Compositional Technique
Paganini's violin concertos reflect, comment on, criticize, ironize, and even satirize bel canto opera through virtuoso dissociation and variation.
Recording & Production
This album features recordings of Paganini's violin concertos made in 2000, 2003, and 2005, co-produced with Westdeutscher Rundfunk.
Performer Biography
Ingolf Turban's dedication to Niccolò Paganini's works includes a complete recording of the six violin concertos and a TV documentary.
Composer's Artistic Vision
