About "Paganini: 24 Caprices, Op. 1: No. 16 in G Minor" by Frank Peter Zimmermann
A violin caprice flickers like a candle guttering in a draughty hall—nimble, eerie, and oddly consoling. Zimmermann threads Paganini’s devilish runs with a chamber-music intimacy, turning virtuosity into a quiet, unsettling meditation on grace under pressure.
