Paganini: Entrata d’Adone nella reggia di Venere M.S. 8

Luigi Alberto Bianchi and Maurizio Preda continue their rediscovery of Paganini’s compositions for violin and guitar. The success of their previous recordings (notably CDS 43/1-2 and CDS 294, dedicated to the Lucca Sonatas) shows how Paganini is loved throughout the world not only for his violin concertos but also for works such as these, certainly not as ambitious yet fascinating from the points of view of melodic inventiveness and virtuosity.

In this elegant box-set at special price Dynamic reunites all the compositions written by Nicolò Paganini for violin and guitar - the two instruments Paganini loved the most - with the violin clearly the protagonist (with only two exceptions - the Sonata Concertata M.S. 2 and the Grande Sonata Concertata M.S. 3, where the guitar has a role of importance). The success with critics and public met by the single CDs previously released (especially those dedicated to the Lucca Sonatas, CDS 43/1-2 and CDS 294) show that music lovers do not only appreciate Paganini’s Violin Concertos but also works such as these, less imposing yet captivating for their melodic inventiveness and virtuosic solo writing.
