DukeCity Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just went to a concert presented by the violin professor at the college where I teach. He did all 24 of Paganini's Caprices. HOLY CRAP! He was great, and I liked the pieces. Any recommendations for recordings? I'd like to limit it to collections of all 24 on one recording. Thanks in advance.

Leeway Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 This thread might be better in the Classical Discussion section. Anyway, for a single recording, this will work well. The CD goes for about $10 on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks. That's one I was considering. Jim A., if you or one of the mods would like to move this thread to the Classical Discussion section, that would be dandy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks. That's one I was considering. Jim A., if you or one of the mods would like to move this thread to the Classical Discussion section, that would be dandy! The Perlman is a good first collection, much agreed. But it's important to not stop there, I think, as different interpretations (and the different caprices themselves) bring out a variety of flavors among performers. Just to add three more — certainly search for: • Salvatore Accardo • Ruggiero Ricci • Michael Rabin And there are of course many more. I've been listening to the caprices lately as well, and enjoying Accardo's edition, even though his intonation is sometimes ... idiosyncratic. But the passion is all there. Just check out his No. 3 and No. 4. Whew. I'd be interested in hearing about others' favorites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrill Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 As i don't see these works as something profound (unless you are a violinist, i assume), i'd second that time honored Perlman's recording. But if you want something more modern, try this: Also i've really enjoyed this rendition, including a cover: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
