Niccolò Paganini
Niccolò Paganini was the most legendary violinist who ever lived — so dazzling that some believed he had sold his soul. Hear his music performed live.
Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840), the Italian violinist and composer, redefined what the instrument could do. His 24 Caprices — above all the famous No. 24 — remain a summit of violin technique, inspiring composers from Liszt to Rachmaninoff. His performances were so astonishing that rumours of supernatural pacts followed him everywhere. Paganini was also a showman who reshaped the idea of the virtuoso. Performed live, his music is pure fireworks.
