CD Reviews

A just dazzling recording!

F. Soares | Campbellsville, KY United States | 06/10/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mintz's recording of Paganini's Caprices is probably one of the best recordings if not the best. He is technically perfect and his sound has a wonderful quality. But the best thing for me in this recording is that unlike other violinists, who play those caprices just as studies, he makes a very musical interpretation of them, with his well-played dynamics. A "must have" recording for all Paganini fans."

Outstanding !

"I must agree with the last review. I have 6 recordings of the caprices and this ends up on top. Mintz plays in a very different way, unlike other violinists. Just hear the #24, because in other reccordings this one is always the same : It has the same duration(4:40), and its played like a study(specially the eight Var)

Mintz's interpretation is unique (He repeats the second part of every Variation). He plays it in a musical way.

this is really a "must have" for Paganini fans. I highly recomend this recording, forget about the other ones."

Best of the best
