Concerti nos. 1 & 2

Album by Niccolò Paganini & Alexander Markov & Rundfunk‐Sinfonieorchester Saarbrücken & Marcello Viotti

Concerti Nos. 1 & 2 are violin concertos by Italian composer Niccolò Paganini, composed in 1817 and 1826 respectively. They exemplify early Romantic virtuoso concerto writing, characterised by demanding solo violin technique, dramatic dialogue with the orchestra and inventive exploitation of the instrument's range, and they occupy a key place in Paganini's output for their influence on the 19th-century violin repertoire.
First released: 2nd June 1992
