Paganini Ensemble Vienna

"Chamber music is a complementary and indispensable aspect of Niccolò Paganini's production, rich in pages of high musical value in which the composer's imagination, with frequent bel canto reminsicences, unfolds with absolute naturalness. Especially in the guitar quartets Paganini has offered us the best example of his inexhaustible creative vein, with results of fascinating melodic and inventive beauty."
Danilo Prefumo
