NICCOLÒ PAGANINI: VIOLIN CONCERTOS NOS. 2 & 5
The second concerto for violin became an extremely popular «hit» due to the «Campanella» [bell] theme in the third movement, which gave rise to countless imitations. Swiss violinist Alexandre Dubach is ac-companied by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo under the direction of Lawrence Foster.
This is the second CD in a collection featuring all of Paganini’s violin concertos.
Niccolò Paganini, the «demonic violinist» from Genoa, explored and employed the violin as no other composer; his six violin concertos represent the epitome of virtuoso music in this genre. The so-called fifth concerto was most likely his last work for this form, written late in his life.
