Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840)

Capricen op.1 Nr.1-24 für Viola solo

Pierre Lenert (Viola)

This recording of Niccolo Paganini’s Caprices is the first for viola since Emanuel Vardi’s complete recording for Epic, in 1965. This miraculous collection of Caprices is more than just a study on virtuosity. It is a veritable treasure, a collection of masterpieces which the composer focused on a myriad of technical difficulties, each invented to elicit surprising harmonic richness. The musical mastery of each of the Caprices reminds us of Italian Bel Canto operas by Donizetti, Bellini, and even Rossini. This recording is dedicated to the trailblazing virtuosos who showed us the way: Emanuel Vardi and William Primrose. And also, of course, to young violists who are taken by the musicality and rebelliousness of these works; this is for you
