Paganini 24 Caprices

"These epoch-making performances were originally issued on Epic SC 6049 in 1965. They were recorded by violist extraordinaire Emanuel Vardi who performs his own arrangements of the Paganini Caprices playing one fifth lower than the original key. He remains, as Cembal d’amour reminds us, the only violist [for the last 50 years] to have set down all twenty-four and an additional symmetry resides in the fact that Vardi was inspired to take up the viola after hearing William Primrose's own viola performance of two Paganini caprices, recordings that the Scotsman made for Columbia in 1934." -- Music Web International
