Synopsis

Album Description
This is the first of two CDs presenting the 12 violin sonatas, Op. 1, by Veracini (1690-1768), a prototype for the far more famous Paganini of a later era, being a wizard on the violin, a composer as well as performer, vain and extravagant, and prone to weird behavior. First and foremost, he was a brilliant violinist. By age 25 he was regarded, according to Charles Burney (the best-known music historian of the 18th century), as "the greatest violinist in Europe."
