Various - The Spirit of Paganini: rare and unpublished works

This double-CD set brings to completion Dynamic�s project to record Nicol� Paganini�s entire output. The programme includes notable rarities such as the Sonata Napol�on MS. 5, the splendid Maestosa Suonata Sentimentale MS. 51, Sonata movimento perpetuo M.S 66 and La Primavera MS. 73, all in performances that faithfully follow Paganini�s original manuscripts. The set also features an exciting interpretation of the rare Concerto No. 3 in E major MS. 50, perhaps one of the least performed of Paganini�s concertos, and the Caprice No. 24 in an interesting version with piano accompaniment. Mario Hossen received his musical education in Sofia, Vienna and Paris. He made his debut as a soloist with orchestra at the age of eight. Hailed for his incredible virtuosity and charismatic stage presence, Hossen�s repertoire covers the full stylistic range, from renaissance to classical, contemporary and jazz. The focus of Hossen�s musicological and artistic endeavours includes source research on Niccol� Paganini. Mario Hossen plays a 1749 violin by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, on loan from the Austrian National Bank collection.
