Violinist Alina Ibragimova releases the results of a uniquely ambitious ‘lockdown project’ - a barnstorming new account of Paganini’s fiendish Caprices, recorded in the late spring of 2020.

The transcendental heroics of Paganini’s Caprices have presented the ultimate test for generations of violinists; Alina Ibragimova’s accounts of this most exclusive repertoire join a select few of the most celebrated.

‘Her facility, speed and precision, breathtaking throughout, never loses sight of musicality. Listening to these short works in one sitting can feel like an overlong firework display. Not here. Ibragimova infuses them with addictive variety, grace and insouciance. She obviously has 20 fingers.‘ - The Guardian
