 Entrancing Listening September 11, 2009
Ms. Fiona M. Perry (SCOTLAND)
Classical violin concertoes at their best and most difficult - very moving slow movements.....got carried away. Very intense and thoroughly enjoyable.
 A bit disappointed December 15, 2007

I waited patiently to receiving this CD collection of all Paganini's concertos anticipating the outstanding performance praised in most of the reviews. The outcome was a bit disappointing. The disappointment is limited though to the performance of Concerto No. 1, and especially the Rondo (third movement). Paganini is indeed very challenging and requires the performer to add their own "interpretation and feelings" to it. The way Accardo plays Concerto No. 1 is very close to what a synthesizer would do (well, exaggerating), purely technical, no feelings at all. I must however state that the other Concertos show substantial improvement and deserve the praise expressed in the other reviews. For concerto no.1 I would recommend Hilary Hahn's performance which is truly perfect.
Absolutely breathtaking performances of Paganini Concertos March 16, 2007

I have listened to this record innumerable times and still have as much fun as the first time.
If I have to review each performance indivudually I would rate the 5th concerto the best of the performances. It is simply the jewel of this 3-disc set.
1st concerto: Great performance but possible to find even better performances since this is (if I'm not terribly wrong) the most recorded Paganini concerto. I have watched Sarah Chang with Zubin Mehta perform the first movement of this piece and that was a bit better than this one.
2nd Concerto : One of the most known concertos. Liszt even composed an etude on this one which is called La Campanella, same name with the concerto. I have first listened to the 3rd movement from Menuhin and I still find that performance to be the best ever recorded.
3rd, 4th and 6th concertos: These are again great, I especially like 3 and 4. Don't get me wrong 6 is another great record.
5th concerto: As I have said the jewel of this collection. It is destined to be the jewel of every music collection containing this performance. The playful touch of the bow on the strings is amazing. Sometimes that touch becomes more tender almost pleading. And at the end it literally dances on the strings then gives way to one of the most beautiful endings of all concertos in history.
There's no way you can go wrong with this one. If you have listened to the 24 caprices and want to listen some more Paganini this is the way to go. Also recommended is Accardo plays Paganini (DG again) which contains these performances along with some other works.
Excellent Performance August 24, 2006
Dabis Camero (Camp Hill, PA USA)
Paganini is very well interpreted by Mr. Accardo, and of course Paganini's music is always extraordinary and unique.

Salvatore Accardo in one of his best achievements ever made! May 24, 2006

During the middle seventies, this album was a true revelation. In fact, the entire set of these Violin Concertos simply had not been released. The fortunate combination with Charles Dutoit, The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Salvatore Accardo as soloist, allowed the audiences to appreciate and enjoy these works, with that special character; they are not deep pieces, are in the great tradition of Liszt, fireworks for the instrument.
The Second, Fifth and Sixth Concertos are the best achievements among the rest. About the first Concerto, Leonid Kogan, the second finds in Micahel Rabin and Ivry Gitlis notable performers, and the fourth Artur Grumiaux.
But if you really want to get the whole set with additional minor works, this is a very recommended choice.
