Lovely, Sinister, Elegiac, Creepy

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!
