I bought the CD of Massimo Quarta playing Paganini's 24 caprices, and i love it!!! Massimo Quarta plays these pieces real anchantingly and devilish!!! And his tone is amazing!!! To those who have this CD, what do you think of it?
I think it's one of the best Paganini caprice recordings out there.
Unfortunately for his Paganini No 1 he tunes up and that drives me crazy since I have perfect pitch. A pity, since his playing is great and I wish I could enjoy it.
