The Violinist as Composer

on BBC Radio 3

Duncan Druce continues his exploration of the output of violinists of the past 200 years, much of it rarely heard today, and in his second programme examines the effect of Paganini, who dazzled all Europe with his technical daring and personal magnetism around 1830. Followers such as Ernst, Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski all found characteristic ways of accepting Paganini's challenge. discs
