This review is from: Paganini: Played on Paganini's Violin, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

Recently, I heard the amazing recording of Paganini's D Major Concerto by Massimo Quartra. Not only is the perfomance outstanding on all counts, this recording provides a rare opportunity to heard Paganini's own violin, nicknamed "the Canon" because of its powerfully intense tone. But not only is there power, there is a surprising sweetness about this instrument, in the very capable hands of Quartra, that immediately impresses the hearer. This disk provides a glimpse of what Paganini's own playing must have been like. Procure it!
