Review by Popa Alin

The album Ruralia Hungarica Caprice No 13 In B Flat Major Caprice No 20 In D Major La Campanella by Dohnanyi, Paganini, Campoli, Malcolm is a masterful display of virtuosity and technical skill. The performers, led by violinist Alfredo Campoli, bring a level of energy and precision to each piece that is truly impressive.

The album features two caprices by Niccolo Paganini, including the famous La Campanella, as well as Ernst von Dohnanyi's Ruralia Hungarica. Each piece is a showcase for the performers' abilities, with intricate runs, finger-twisting arpeggios, and lightning-fast bow work.

In addition to Campoli's violin, the album also features pianist Frank Malcolm, who provides a solid foundation for the soloist's flights of fancy. The two musicians work together seamlessly, creating a cohesive and dynamic sound that is a joy to listen to.
