Complete Edition

Description

Paganini represents a true turning point in the history of the violin; indeed, there was a before and after Paganini in history. More than just a violinist, he was also a composer, although for a long time the general public had little knowledge of his works; several of his manuscripts belonged to a private collection that was inaccessible to researchers and publishers, and the only public editions were often incorrect and misleading. When his manuscripts were brought back to Italy in 1970, things finally changed, and Dynamic can now offer for the first time in a 40-CD box set the complete known and available works of Paganini. The initiative to record them on CD required several years of commitment, but anyone wishing to discover the true Paganini can now find in this box set the legacy of a man and a composer whose performances and compositions represented a turning point in the history of music, not just for the violin.
