About

Paganini was the pre-eminent violin virtuoso of the 19th century - it was rumored by his contemporaries that he had sold his soul to the devil for his unbelievable ability. Henryk Szeryng, who performs the concertos on this album, was an equally phenomenal violinist of the 20th century.

This album of the Paganini violin concertos reveals Paganini’s technical wizardry and they are the only recordings of these works available on SACD.
