5.0 out of 5 stars great music, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This is some of the sweetest music of all times. Fortunatelly for me, but sadly for the performers it's also very cheap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "tunes", August 21, 1999

By A Customer

I agree with the above review. This is incredibly good music. The sonatas with violin and guitar are beautiful, and the caprices are certainly astounding. Everyone knows Paganini was an unmatched violinist, but he was also a great composer. This disc is a steal.

2.0 out of 5 stars sweet tone, bad recording, February 26, 2000

By	poodle (Shanghai, China) - See all my reviews

NAXOS is good to discover new/younge artists, but it should also apply good techniques in the recording. If Ilya is playing in front of us, we will be easily moved, but the bad recording simply destroyed his performance
