Episode 75: 18075 Paganini: 9 Caprices

Author: Classical Music Discoveries January 29, 2022 Duration: 22:42
In January 2022, violinist Sean Lee and pianist Peter Dugan celebrate Paganini in the first-ever performance of all 24 Caprices in the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s 52-year history as well as the release of a new EP of nine Caprices with accompanying music videos. A top prizewinner at the “Premio Paganini” International Violin Competition, Lee embraces the legacy of his late mentor, violinist Ruggiero Ricci, as one of few violinists who dare to perform the complete 24 Caprices of Niccolò Paganini in recital. His ongoing educational YouTube series Paganini POV uses modern technology to share a unique perspective on violin playing.Paganini x Schumann TracklistPaganini – Complete Caprices for Violin and Piano, Op. 1 (c. 1805) (arr.

There's a whole world of classical music waiting beyond the handful of famous pieces played on the radio. Classical Music Discoveries is built on the idea that the repertoire is vast, deep, and full of stunning works that rarely get a hearing. Each episode is a curated listening session, focusing on compositions from across the centuries that deserve a wider audience. You might hear a powerful symphony by a forgotten Romantic-era composer, a delicate chamber piece from the Baroque, or a compelling work from a living creator. The host provides just enough context to frame the music-perhaps a note on the historical period, the composer's unique story, or what makes the structure of the piece so engaging-before letting the recordings speak for themselves. It’s a quiet space to actively listen, whether you're a seasoned concert-goer or someone just beginning to explore beyond the classics. This podcast serves as an accessible guide, removing the intimidation factor and replacing it with a sense of genuine exploration. The focus remains firmly on the sound, offering a direct connection to the emotional and intellectual power of the works selected. Tune in to expand your personal playlist with beautiful and intriguing music you simply won't find in the standard rotation.
