About

Many Paganini scholars consider the quartets with guitar to be among his finest chamber works. The care Paganini took in their composition is documented in numerous letters asking the opinion of his friend Luigi Germi, to whom Quartet no.10 is dedicated. The Quartets, op.4 and op.5, with their almost playful eccentricities and freedoms, show the composer trying out a variety of forms and variations on convention, all with his typically virtuoso and lyrical touch. Volume 2 of this edition (CDS7938) was admired for its ‘crisp and elegant sensibility’ in BBC Music Magazine.

‘Their [the Paganini Ensemble Vienna] playing is alert, well-balanced, and expressive, with each instrument easy to hear, thanks to excellent engineering.’ – American Record Guide (Vol.1: CDS7912)

‘…this is truly virtuosic playing!’ – American Record Guide (Vol.2: CDS7938)

Paganini Ensemble Vienna:
- Mario Hossen (violin)
- Marta Potulska (viola)
- Liliana Kehayova (cello)
- Alexander Swete (guitar)
