Paganini's music bursts with confidence and a delight in his own fiery violin virtuosity. His lightning flights up and down the fingerboard have all the complexity of Bach's keyboard runs taken to uniquely cerebral and dizzying apexes. His orchestral and chamber compositions can be reflective and pastoral—having been composed largely on guitar—but they occasionally explode in a tornado of notes that are reined in with satisfying turns. Verve and passion await in these jubilant sonatas and concertos.
