Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840) is a legendary figure in the history of music, who brought about a revolution in violin playing that forever changed the way music was composed for the instrument. Musical contemporaries such as Chopin, Schubert, and Schumann were staggered by the violinist's great artistry, as were the poets Goethe and Heine. Young Dutch violinist Bob van der Ent has received wide acclaim for his impeccable technique, seasoned interpretations, and characteristic style. With these recordings of Paganini's 24 Caprices, Bob van der Ent has become the first Dutch violinist of his generation - and one of just a few in the world - to have released the entire cycle.
