About

Following her acclaimed DG debut album 'Beethoven and Beyond', the Spanish violinist María Dueñas has chosen to play Nicolò Paganini's iconic 24 Caprices for this album. She couples the pieces, which are known as one of the hardest works that have ever been written for violin, with a selection of later works inspired by Paganini, presenting music by composers ranging from Berlioz and Kreisler to Gabriela Ortiz.

Reviews

I’d be hard-pushed to name another modern recording offering anything close to the multicoloured lyrical imagination produced by this 22-year-old. ... Dueñas’s Beethoven debut album (8/23) impressed for the finesse-filled distinctiveness and confidence of her voice, and the sense of a youthful old soul with plenty of her own to say. Her Paganini exceeds it by some measure.  Charlotte Gardner (Recording of the Month)
