Music reviews of Paganini: 24 Caprices Op 1

Music Review: BRILLIANCE AND BEAUTY: JULIA FISCHER PLAYS PAGANINI'S AWESOME CAPRICES
Rating: 5 Stars

Five BRILLIANT Stars! Awesome performances by the award-winning German violin and piano virtuoso Julia Fischer, focused exclusively on Niccolò Paganini's famous 24 Caprices for Violin, Opus 1. Paganini's caprices are known for being among the most technically difficult, treacherous, and at the same time some of the most beautiful violin pieces ever composed, clearly evoking the Romantic period with deep emotionalism, at times amid some of the most searing showers of notes imaginable. One of the foremost violinists of his time, these compositions are like 'time capsules', reflecting the incredible 'state of Paganini's violin artistry'- extraordinary virtuosity, demonstrated all over Europe, solidifying his reputation as a great composer and musician. Julia was 8 when she sat fascinated while a violinist played all 24 Caprices, as she followed along with the sheet music, and became intent on performing them one day. This CD was recorded in her hometown of Munich at the August Everding Hall with excellent sound and presence. While some may think of these as akin to practice pieces and individual show-stopping virtuosic pieces for an artist's encore performance, she sees them as a valid body of compositional work flowing from one piece to another and reflecting unique moods and specific violin skills in each "miniature", some so technical that they seem to be nearing the edge of rapid fingering and bowing possibility, as he probably intended. The joyous Caprice No. 1 in E sets the stage for what follows with its marvelous kinetic bowed fireworks and over-the-top demands, played with fire, grace, and dexterity by Ms Fischer. Other most notable caprices include Caprice No. 3 in E Minor and No. 4 in C Minor which Fischer gives moments of great ethereal multi-stopped beauty in response to different technical demands of the piece. Caprice No. 6 in G Minor ("the Trill Caprice") is stunning in composition and execution by Fischer who daringly uses a mute, creating an otherworldly sound at times like an accordion, a horn, and a flute. Caprice No. 9 in E ("the Hunt") is played very stately and deliberate, while Caprice No. 11 in C is full of aching beauty, giving way to a spritely dance in the middle. Caprice No. 18 in C is very sensitive with bird song-like elements before the swiftly-played section takes over. The 'pièce de résistance' is the famous Caprice No 24 in A Minor: 4 minutes and 22 seconds of heightened musical drama, with Fischer brilliantly stating the themes and eleven challenging variations, including the very buoyant pizzicato section which she plays with left-hand fingers and right index finger. This superb and unique CD is a great addition to the Julia Fischer discography. Bravo, Ms Fischer. My Highest Recommendation. Five DAZZLING Stars!
