A fascinating demonstration of violin virtuosity, this CD features one of the finest interpreters of 18th- and 19th-century repertoire, Luca Fanfoni. In addition to Giuseppe Tartini's "Devil's Trill", Fanfoni performs some of Paganini's most popular and spectacular works, such as the famous "Witches", which caught the attention of international audiences in 1813 of the devilish aspect of the Genoese violinist's artistry. A remarkable addition completes the CD: the rediscovered complete version of Paganini's Sonata a preghiera, which is played on Paganini's own violin.
