About "Paganini: La Campanella, Op.7" by David Garrett
Paganini's 'La Campanella' is a tightrope of trills and harmonics. Garrett plays it with rock-star glee, but the bell-like motif rings with an eerie, almost mocking calm. It's virtuosity as suspense: the higher the notes climb, the more precarious the whole enterprise feels.
