5.0 out of 5 stars Nicolo would be proud!, 5 Oct 2003
I first came to these recordings when they appeared on vinyl over twenty years ago and instantly fell in love with them. My first recording of Paganini had been Maurice Hasson's excellent, if truncated, performance on CFP, which I greatly loved for its flair and fabulously throwaway style. Later I bought recordings by the brilliant Ruggiero Ricci and by Henryk Szeryng, Ivry Gitlis, Arthur Grumiaux and others. But truth to tell, as good as most of these were and still are (some stunning) there is nothing amongst them to surpass Accardo here. This, one feels instinctively, is Paganini as he was always meant to be played; here there is all the elan and panache, the emotional intensity when called for and the devil-may-care humour and playfulness that make Nicolo's concertos so worthy of repeated hearings. The technical problems, which once made Paganini seem unplayable to many, are here dealt with flawlessly and with such style and bravura you feel like applauding in mid-movement. The opening movements are grandiose and swaggering, often martial and always thrilling, with breathtaking cadenzas so tortuous and demanding they hardly seem possible; the adagios are meltingly beautiful and wistful, and the final movements filled with dancing, exuberant, feather-light melodies, rhythms and tempi that lift the heart and gladden the soul. I have heard many performances of most of these works and can say confidently that you will never hear them better played than here. This is a box set to covet - or better still to simply buy and enjoy over and over again. A truly splendid achievement

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, 27 May 2004
By Mr. Alan K. Payne - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Accardo, one of the 'great' violinists of our time. Or is this so? I have recently aquired the Paganini Caprices from a friend. As a violinist I have always aspired to develop a technique good enough to play these so called 'show off' pieces.I would never have dared to play one or even look at the score unless I was confident that I could play them to a high standard. I have heard Scholo mintz play these and Salvatore, I'm afraid to say is not a patch on him. As for the violin concerto, I have a stunning recording of it by Ilya Kaler, who, as a relitavely unknown violinist astounds me! His technique is impeccable and this far outshines the performance by Accardo. By no means is he a poor violinist! But he should not have recorded this piece without thorough review of his playing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 10 Aug 2009
By Mr. J. P. Pryor - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How on earth does he do it?

One can see why some people said Paganini had made a pact with the devil.

His compositions are plain devilish. I darenit imagine what they're like to play.

Fantastic
