Niccolo Paganini

Jean-Baptiste Arban, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Dazzling!
Titling a collection of works CAPRICE ('a disposition to do things impulsively') is entirely in keeping with the magnetism and flair of the talented, beautiful, and intensely musical trumpeter Alison Balsom. For this listener the introduction to Miss Balsom was a ...

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1992

Exquisite
I was browsing Amazon, shopping for gifts, and when I listened to the snippets of this, I couldn't resist ordering it for myself. It's a 3CD set of beautiful, varied music played by a brilliantly skilled and sensitive master. Barrueco has an extraordinary touch that ...

William Primrose: Viola Transcriptions

Julian Aguirre, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Naxos, 2006

All in the Family
Although probably not a household name, Roberto Díaz is one of the best violists these days. He was principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra until recently and is the newly-appointed head of the Curtis Institute. Part of what makes this CD so interesting are the ...

Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces

Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...

Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies

Beethoven's Wig

Rounder / Umgd, 2004

A must for Beethoven's Wig fans
There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics.

Dinner Classics: The Italian Album

Keith Marjoram, Luigi Boccherini, ...

Sony, 1990

Bravo!
I heard this album for the first time at a restuarant in Florence during my trip to Italy. I was surprised it was from the US beacause it has captured the very soul of Italy. After 7 years it has remained my favorite of all Puccini cds I own. I especially like the ...

Paganini: Complete Chamber Music

Claudio Gonella, Andrea Noferini, ...

Dynamic Italy, 2008

If you want Beethoven or Mozart you won't find it here.
I'm exploring this set and so far all of it is marvelous.The works for bassoon and violin are delightful as are the quartets and quintets. If you are looking for profundity, you won't find it here, these are chamber works in the original sense of the term; music made ...

Paganini: Violin Concerto No. 1; Spohr: Violin Concerto No. 8

Niccolo Paganini, Louis Spohr, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

{~~}==# HILARY DIVINED - the POPE OF the VIOLIN "bewitches" and makes an "exorcism" of the "diabolic" parts in the PAGANINI!
HILARY HAHN IS GETTING VOCAL in the SPOHR! HILARY HAHN's interpretation of these two great concertos is simply MAGNIFICENT, well even "bewitching", she takes away all that is "diabolic" in this wonderful violin concerto composed by NICOLÒ PAGANINI! So, I give FIVE ...
