[ Deutsche Grammophon / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 28 February 2025
Following her acclaimed DG debut María Dueñas has chosen Nicolò Paganini's iconic solo Caprices for her upcoming album. These 24 dazzling gems have accompanied the Spanish rising star since she began playing. Noting that Paganini lived in the age of Italian bel canto, María seeks "to bring out the vocal quality in the Caprices - to reveal the music behind the technique"
"I'd be hard-pushed to name another modern recording offering anything close to the multicoloured lyrical imagination produced by this 22-year-old." Gramophone Recording of the Month Gramophone March 2025
