CD Reviews

Not quite complete but you won't hear anything else like thi
William Hobbs | 10/02/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"First of all, they should have called it "Complete Chamber Music that is not for violin and guitar." There are several more CDs worth of music for those two instruments, of variable quality but mostly not terribly interesting. This set, however, goes far beyond my expectations of what Paganini Chamber Music would be. Naturally there are some pieces that are clearly meant to be enjoyed only by the people playing them-- tuneful and fun music for amateurs. However, there is a lot of music here that is more substantial than that. Some (not all) of the guitar quartets (yes there are 5 CDs of them) are extremely flashy, and the Sonatas for Violin and Bassoon (played by Salvatore Accardo by the way) are really interesting. The String Quartets I can live without, but the 10th CD is full of miscellaneous items that are intriguing and entertaining. My personal favorite of all is a set of Variations on "Nel cor piu non mi sento" for two violins and cello which are every bit as inspired and crazy as the solo violin piece.



I give this set five stars for content, even with the proviso that some of the pieces are a little silly, and as the other review states, you won't find Beethoven here. I have to go with four stars because the intonation from the violinist of the Paganini Quartet is at times simply appalling. I cannot believe that they could not have found better takes. When he's good he's very very good, but when he's bad... wow! Still, this set is worth it. You won't regret it!"
If you want Beethoven or Mozart you won't find it here.

"I'm exploring this set and so far all of it is marvelous.The works for bassoon and violin are delightful as are the quartets and quintets. If you are looking for profundity, you won't find it here, these are chamber works in the original sense of the term; music made at home for fun and relaxation. And that is the best manner in which to enjoy this music."
