Paganini’s 24 Caprices Op 1 were considered simply unplayable by most
contemporary violinists, but the composer himself bestrode their difficulties
with contemptuous ease. A forerunner and inspirer of his younger contemporaries
Chopin, Liszt and Berlioz, Paganini was the archetype of the virtuoso performer.
His technique was so phenomenal, and his saturnine presence so magnetic, that he
was popularly believed to be in league with the Devil. He communicated a new
vision of what the violin could achieve.

Virtuoso violinists are plentiful these days, but the challenges posed by the
Caprices are still daunting and it is a rare performer who can achieve such
insouciant brilliance in this repertoire as the young German violinist Tanja
Becker-Bender has in her debut recording for Hyperion.
