Our Take

When it comes to violin virtuosos, Benjamin Schmid is a name that can't be ignored. His latest album, "Benjamin Schmid: My Favourite Paganini," showcases his incredible talent and passion for the music of the legendary composer.

From the moment the album kicks off with Schmid's electrifying rendition of Paganini's Caprice No. 24, you know you're in for a wild ride. Schmid's technical proficiency is astounding, as he effortlessly navigates the intricate passages and soaring melodies that define Paganini's music.

But it's not just Schmid's technical ability that sets him apart - it's his infectious enthusiasm and irreverent sense of humour that really make this album shine. From the playful interplay between Schmid and his accompanists to the unexpected twists and turns in his interpretations of Paganini's work, there's never a dull moment on this album.

Tracks like "La Campanella" and "Moto Perpetuo" showcase Schmid at his most dynamic and daring, with his fiery bowing and dazzling runs leaving listeners breathless. And on slower, more introspective tracks like "Sonata No. 6 in E Minor," Schmid shows his sensitive side, delivering a moving and heartfelt performance.

In short, "Benjamin Schmid: My Favourite Paganini" is a tour de force from one of the most exciting and versatile violinists in the business. Whether you're a die-hard classical music fan or just looking for something new and exciting to listen to, this album is sure to delight and surprise. Don't miss out on this wild and wonderful musical journey!
