Description:

An exciting and groundbreaking project by German violinist Niklas Riepe, a student of Zakhar Bron, who was born in 1990, to perform Paganini's complete unaccompanied Caprices in various arrangements. Paganini's "24 Caprices," a work for only one violin, is the grandest and most technically demanding of all. The piece was later arranged for violin and piano by Schumann, Kreisler, and Szymanowski, among others.The violinist Niklas Riepe, winner of the 2017 German Music Competition, collaborated with renowned arranger Andreas N. Tulkman and commissioned a total of 15 internationally acclaimed composers and arrangers of classical music, film music, and musicals to arrange for solo violin and orchestra. As Riepe says, "The Caprice is more than just technical, it remains a jewel for every violinist," and this masterpiece has been transformed into a new work, challenging the orchestra on all fronts.At the same time, the high technical and expressive quality of the solo violin part is not compromised at all. The result is a fascinating musical journey through many styles, from romantic compositions to jazz elements. Sony Music
