Love it!.......2007-05-12

I really enjoy this CD set very much. Accardo is phenomenal in playing violin. I listen to thisevery morning and sometimes while I am cooking.

Accardo Is As Great As The Greats! A True Virtuoso of Paganini! Epic Performances!.......2005-10-13

Nicolo Paganini is primarily a virtuoso composer who did not compose anything other than for the violin in the early 19th century. He was a true prodigy of the instrument whose ferocious and innovative style of playing frightened many of the credulent folk into thinking he was the devil. With the increasing popularity of the waltz, he along with other romantics such as Beethoven completely revolutionized the concept of violin concertos that were still then mostly in the antiquated Roccoco menuet formulas of Mozart and Haydn. The caprices are more technical excercises for this new revolutionary style and are the cornerstones of all Romantic traditions of violin including the Romantic German and, to a much lesser extent, the Polish/Klezmer tradition of Joseph Joachim.

Salvatore Accardo is an accomplished violinist who performed many times with the most reputable groups such as I Musici di Roma and the English Chamber Orchestra. He was a long-time mentor of Anne-Sofie Mutter who performed with Karajan. Despite working often with various Baroque styles, Salvatore Accardo is primarily a specialist at Paganini and the Italian Romantic period and this is the main reason this recording is one of the best you can obtain for Paganini. Charles Dutoit is also an accomplished orchestral conductor and generally works very well with Rossini whose light romantic style in his operatic overtures have overlaps with the style in Paganini's contemporary symphonic arrangements for his violin concerti. Accardo and Dutoit were therefore a perfect match in performing Paganini and this ablum is a great example along with their other collaborations for the composer available on single CD. The music is light and joyful in its interpretation while many others tend to be heavy and sluggish. Accardo's performance is filled with vitality as he has complete mastery over the instrument and feels at ease in his performance without ever faltering. His performance brings out the fluidity and full range of Paganini's style very well. Salvatore Accardo's performance of the caprices is also legendary in which he performs all of the most difficult pieces briliantly without effort: they are truly divine in every respect!

Although it's extremely difficult to make a judgment call between these three undisputed virtuosos of the violin and Paganini, Perlman and Heifetz would not be my first choices because they are not really masters of the Italian Romantic style as that of the German/Polish/Klezmer traditions. However technical the differences might be, they do make a significant difference and so I prefer Accardo for Paganini as he is simply the foremost expert with this composer and the Italian Romantic style which Heifetz and Perlman are not. This album is a great buy where you can get all of Paganini's passionate violin concerti and caprices at a good price. There are really few if any performances equal to this one on the market other than those of Perlman and Heifetz. Such other performances, even by child prodigies, are simply beneath them in every respect to the point that they actually sound amateurish in comparison. No matter which of the three you choose, you can't really go wrong with any of them but I would really look no further than them as everything else is far beneath their legendary talents. Enjoy!

What a man! What a Violin! What an Artist!.......2002-04-06

Salvatore Accardo has played magnificently! I am not a classical music critic; I don't know what it really means to be a great violinist, but I certainly enjoy listening to every song in this 6 cd set. I am fifteen years old, but Paganini's music has a great impact on me. My mother bought me this album for Christmas, and I couldn't have received a more wonderful collection of music. I tend to have a preference for the first recording I ever hear of certain songs, and I have heard several of these songs performed by different artists. Let me tell you, these recordings are fantastic. My favorites are the 21st Caprice, the second movement of the 6th concerto, and the entire 4th concerto. Accardo's tone is rich and robust, and the orchestra behind him compliments him perfectly.
Utterly Satisfied,
Bobby

P.S. The title for my review was what Franz Liszt (classical pianist and composer) exclaimed when he heard Paganini perform.:)

Definitive Recordings of Paganini's Violin Music.......2001-10-16

Salvatore Accardo performs Paganini's scores with much elegant grace and warmth. Deutsche Grammophon has successfully assembled all of Accardo's recordings of Paganini's music. Undoubtedly, the highlights are Accardo's riveting accounts of Paganini's violin concerti. Charles Dutoit and the London Philharmonic Orchestra give splendid, warm performances of their own, without overwhelming Accardo's playing. Yet Accardo also shines in Paganini's solo works, such as the Caprices. This is absolutely an essential set of CDs for those who are unfamiliar with Paganini's music. Is it a surprise that these performances are still regarded as definitive in classical CD guides issued by Grammophone and Penguin?

Magnificent for collectors.......2001-02-01

This is a really masterpiece for collector. For the people that love the "virtuoso-violin", this is yours. If you are a fanatic of Paganini's music like me, this is your collection, because you will find the Maestosa sonata sentimentale, the Duo Merveille, "God save the King", in a perfect interpretation, only by Accardo, that are very difficult to find. The 6 Concertos, are amazing, if it is your first time hearing Paganini, you will find absolutely incredible, and remember, is only one violin performing those sounds. Double-Stops, Harmonics, Double-Harmonics, and the most colorful bowing performance. Paganini is very romantic and sentimental, the six, second movements are a jewel in your collection. I recomend you that adquire this for your personal collection, the case is beautiful, and the sound is powerful, like the recorders of the Deutsche Grammophon, Accardo plays Paganini transmiting to the listener the feeling of his performance. The 24 Caprices are interesting, and Accardo plays very clear, if you are playing the caprices, this is a good guide, please try to listen the sound of Accardo, you could find many tips in his performance. If you like the music in general, these concertos will give you a different vision and nature of the power of a violin with the London Philarmonic Orchesta. PROs - Excelent Violinist (Accardo), Excelent Presentation (CDs, book and case),Excelent Recorder, each CD has a number, the people take your time making this CD - Each Piece has a good explanation CONs - No are biography of Salvadore Accardo.

The Reigning Virtuosa of the Violin!.......2005-10-15

Leila Josefowicz has that rare combination of extraordinary technique, sensitivity to style, and amazing stage presence that has resulted in her becoming one of the most sought after violinist on the concert stage today. She is simply amazing, capable of tossing off inconceivably difficult passages, yet warming to the expressivity of the highest realm.

This CD is a wise one to learn just how fine a musician she is. In electing to do a full recital of works for violin alone she is fully exposed and lives up to every challenge in this demanding program. The Bartok Sonata is one of the finest examples of this genre and Josefowicz understands every quirk and turn and bit of passion and plays it as though it were a simple tune. She offers Fritz Kreisler's 'Recitativo and Scherzo-Caprice for violin solo' in such a manner that resurrects this brilliant violinist composer's reputation. Niccolo Paganini's 'Capriccio in G major' is so clearly articulated that all of the hidden secrets are unveiled. The Eugene-Auguste Ysaye's sonatas may not be well known, but as Josefowicz performs them they should become part of every violinist's repertoire.

Another of the major joys of Leila Josefowicz' career is her commitment to contemporary music. She tackles the most difficult of the new violin concerti and plays them without score as though they had been around for ages. Her instrument is a Guaraneri "del Gesu" made in 1724 and in her hands this treasureable violin produces a huge, very warm sound. She is currently performing the Oliver Knussen Violin Concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic with her ardent admirer Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting. It is a miracle of a work and we can only hope a recording will soon follow. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp, October 05

The Bow!.......2004-02-27

In this CD Leila explores so many different colors and textures - it never ceases to amaze me. Plus, her musical selections make the CD a pleasure to listen to as a whole. A dynamite album that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Leila Josefowicz - the Phillips CD is amazing........2002-01-21

Leila Josefowicz began her career very young, somewhere around 13 in Philidelphia, or Boston, or New York. Nonetheless, she's had her early fare share of performances and repertoire. A wonderful violinst is she who is clear and emotional in her violin skills. For this CD she recieved the very presitgious Diapason d'Or prize.

Two things about Leila:
Good - One of the best solo violinists out there
Bad - NOT one of the best concerto violinists out there.

So, when youre looking for solo, you've come to the right place. Although she does demonstrate her skills in violin concerto repertoire, it's not quite as 'perfect' as say Vengerov, Oistrakh, or Heifetz, not too many can compare to her solo skills.

In this rendition of Ysaye's, Ernst's, Paganini's, Bartok's, and Kreisler's select compositions, Josefowicz (I pronounce "yo-se-fow-ikz" others say - "Jos-eh-fOW-ikz") had a fun time making a 'random' repertoire album neatly made and very clearly recorded by Phillips.

To begin with, I havn't heard any other performers of the Bartok, Ysaye or Ernst. Leila plays the Bartok impectible, playing every note, and phrasing incredibly well. Her understanding of Bartok's style is evident; Bartok has a unique bowing grip exectution style. Not the bow hold, but the way the bow hair grips the string and the execution. Leila performs this amazing. About the Bartok Sonata: it's a very, very, modern sounding composition. An array of colours, themes, and styles. It is difficult to explain these movements as they are all very different from eachother. the first is the longest, but most beautiful. The second, his very non-personal composition of notes and glissando mixed in unison with pizzicato. His third, the very slow and beautiful one made up of slow notes, double-stops all revolving around a three-note theme of harmonics - brilliantly made. His fourth, the 'fast' one is "neat". It's full of jumping, joyful themes.

Next comes Kreislers "Recitativo And Scherzo". It's a nicly made piece consisting of two contrasting parts. The Recitativo is slow, modern and romantic. The Scherzo is fun but doesn't quite mix with the Recitativo. Alone, it would be amazing, but what can I say - I didn't compose them! Leila performs the Recitativo alike that of the other performers i've heard, but the Scherzo is a bit different. Same phrasing, talanted, but she gets carried away with the tempo and doesn't slow down towrds the end. Where's the accelerando marking?

Paganini's "Nel Cor Piu Non me sento" from Paisiello's La molinara for violin solo. What a composition is this... Not much to say other than YOU MUST HEAR THIS. Leila performes each variation AMAZINGLY... With this composition, the performer can have a little fun changing phrasing, tempo, etc. Leila doesn't play around too much, only in the slow, second-to last variation. (I believe there are seven all together). Anyways, you must hear this composition, and a very good recording of this is by Josefowicz.

The Ysaye.. Oh, the Ysaye. Ysaye is my favorite composer. Him and Paganini. But, this Ysaye sonata is amazing. Simply beautiful in every way. THE best recording made, and she has been given recognition for this....

Ernst: Ernst is a brilliant composer of virtuocity. Not many composers rank among his stature in technicality. Paganini, Weiniawski, Ernst, Vieuxtemps... This composition, which he 'samples' the theme of the Schubert's D. 328, Erlkönig, can be classified as a "Perpetual Motion" or "Perpetuum Mobile". It's a non-stop work of either fast 8ths, or steady 16th notes. How one could play this is past me... But Leila does a great job, especially with the harmonics. Wanna know why Heifetz didn't play this? The greatest violinist (one of the) of the past 100 years COULDNT play this piece because of the harmonics. Josefowicz show's how it should and IS played... Simply amazing.

WONDERFUL! GREAT! WOW!.......2000-06-05

This has GOT go be the BEST Solo CD I have ever listened to! Its worth the money, won't let you down! (And for SUCH a GREAT $ too!)

This program is an exercise in pure virtuosity, and it is breathtaking. It includes some of the most horrendously difficult showpieces in the repertoire, containing every imaginable--and some unimaginable--violinistic effects, such as simultaneous left-hand plucking and bowing, harmonics and double harmonics, double and triple stops, to say nothing of runs across the whole fingerboard at top speed. The violin seems to be called upon to do everything but turn somersaults. Especially stunning are two unaccompanied pieces: a set of variations by Paganini and Ernst's paraphrase of Schubert's song "Der Erlkönig," which Repin himself calls the technically most demanding violin piece ever written, as well as Paganini's Moses Fantasy, played entirely on the G string, tuned two notes up for greater brilliance. Repin performs all these acrobatics with an effortless ease that must be heard to be believed, playing with flair, perfect timing, and incomparable charm. Most amazing, he actually makes them sound like music and seems to be having fun besides. His tone is pure, beautiful, expressively inflected, and--though many of the pieces are of questionable musical value--his elegance keeps them from sounding cheap or corny. --Edith Eisler

A Must for Any Violin Music lover.......2004-07-10

This is truly an excellent CD, a must for any violin music lover. If you are learning the violin, you may feel that you still have a very long way to go; but because of Repin's inspiration, you know it is not impossible. The sound quality is also excellent. Any violin music lover will regret for not having listened to this one.

I Cannot Ignore My Ears.......2000-06-27

I am in accord with the Grammophone review of the album of violin delicacies performed by young and burgeoning Russian soloist, Vadim Repin. All in all, I cannot add anything in positive to a review that was so complete. His rawness is appealing. His phrasing tasteful and even refreshing. A violinists, violinist. Yet I have a problem. Intonational problems are evident all throughout the album. It may have been the recording style that was used, or some tweaking or lack thereof in the studio that had altered some intonation. Or then again, I could be going tone deaf. Specifically on the Zapateado track, he is missing a lot of harmonics and the arpeggio's are a bit sloppy. Sustained notes tail off in artistic phrasing, but lack intonational stability. An old violin teacher of mine once said, "never stop listening to what you are playing." I am wondering if Repin or the engineers at ERATO were really listening to the final tracks?

Seventeen-year-old Ilya Gringolts is the latest violin phenomenon to emerge from Russia. He has won the Paganini Competition in Genoa and many prizes in his native country. The music on this disc befits his youth, his radiant talent, and triumphant virtuosity. There is nothing he cannot do; he tosses off the most hair-raising pyrotechnics--multiple stops, runs at breakneck speeds, double harmonics--with consummate ease, reveling in his technical prowess; his tone shimmers and glows with unfailing beauty, purity and sweetness. Even more amazingly, he makes music out of these bravura pieces, creating atmosphere, mood, character, emotional contrast, with simple, genuine expressiveness. His playing has charm, humor, poise, romantic ardor, dramatic intensity, and, sensitive to Paganini's frequently operatic style, a singing, spoken quality: the Cantabile becomes a passionate love song, the Concerto's slow movement an Italian scena ed aria; its Finale glitters with joyful, sunny brilliance. He makes no cuts and plays the Moses-Fantasie with the G string tuned two notes up, as indicated by Paganini. The pianist is excellent, the orchestra less so. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

Good rendition of these pieces.......2004-06-25

An interesting collection of pieces presented quite nicely by Viktoria Mullova. Ms. Mullova is a Russian emigre (she defected when she was in Norway, tricking her KGB handlers by leaving her priceless violin in the hotel, and was considered Kogan's finest student. Although her technique pays fitting tribute to her teacher, her temperament, frankly, does not.
Still, these solo works are presented with a good deal of aplomb. The Bach partita is played in the contemporary style, and is really quite interesting to hear under Mullova's hands, and the technical twisters of the Bartok are tossed of with ease.
The Paganini, although one of my favorite pieces, is given its due.
Overall, a good collection, worthy of exploration, and a good way to hear Mullova's sound.
