Your favorite Paganini concerto?

November 24, 2007 at 2:49 PM

Hi all,

I would like to get my Dad a Paganini concerto in DVD. Do you have any suggestions? Which are your favorite Paganini concertos?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Mayra

I have the Massimo Quarta set, that were played on Paganini's Cannone Guarneri violin. I especially like that set because it captures the beauty of the concertos with the sound that Paganini must have designed it for.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked it ou ton Amazon and they have it for $100, which is a lot more expensive than I was hoping. Also, that's a CD collection, and I was hoping to find a dvd because my dad loves to see the violinist/orchestra playing. That set does sound awesome, though.

Mayra, try searching with pricegrabber. I see some offered around $40-50. Still you're right, it's not a DVD.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out. It seems there are no Paganini dvd's, except for the Caprices. At least, I couldn't find any. In that case that cd collection sounds like a great gift.
Thanks again.
