You've probably heard some of the stories about Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840). His life was one of fame, dissipation, and showoffery.
I have heard one or two other performances of these devilish works for solo violin. One was a different recording by Ricci, the performer here. But none captures the delicious deviltry in composition and floridity as this recording.
Listen with delight!
