Description:

This is a collection of rare works unique to the DYNAMIC label, which has made it its mission to record all of Paganini's works. The album features rare works such as "Spring" with piano accompaniment, a faithful reproduction of Paganini's first draft, the Napoleon Sonata, and the piano accompaniment version of Fantasia No. 24. The highlight of the album is an exciting performance of the Violin Concerto No. 3, a work composed around 1826 but for which the score was lost and then revived by Schelling in 1971. Violinist Mario Hossen made his debut as a soloist at the age of eight and nurtured his talent in Paris under the tutelage of Gerard Poullet. He gives an extremely intelligent performance. Naxos Japan
