Featuring:
János Bodor – violin

Niccolò Paganini is the most influential violin virtuoso in the history of music, and he was also a composer who loved to write for his instrument – pieces, of course, that only he could master. His dazzling virtuosity and overwhelmingly passionate performance earned him the title of the Devil's Violinist. The 24 Caprices is a series of character pieces for solo violin, each focusing on a different technical challenge, but also displaying a distinct mood and emotion.

Nowadays, one or two of the Caprices is performed mainly as an encore in concert halls around the world; the complete series is rarely heard in one concert, as its performance still demands an almost superhuman level of effort and skill from the violinists even two centuries after its creation. There have been two such occasions in Hungary so far: in the 1970s Miklós Szenthelyi and in the mid-1990s József Lendvay attempted to conquer the Mount Everest of solo violin literature. Following in their footsteps, János Bodor, member and acting concertmaster of the National Philharmonic Orchestra and permanent concertmaster of the Danubia Orchestra, has now set his thrilling expedition to mark the anniversary of Paganini's birth.
