…should pass directly into the Hall of Fame. Absolutely essential.
Fanfare
Massimo Quarta is a real virtuoso, tossing off the difficult passages boldly, nonchalantly and with an impressive degree of polish and accuracy…
Gramophone
All these virtues, as well as close but unobtrusive miking and appropriately reverberant recorded sound, should recommend the set to collectors, violinists, ad students in search of models.
Fanfare
This is Paganini Caprices the way they were meant to be heard. Massimo Quarta takes all of Paganin;s markings seriously and doesn’t try to make things easy for himself. It’s refreshing to hear such immaculate execution and rhythmic precision in performances of the Caprices.
American Record Guide
Full-bloodied, technically assured and forwardly recorded…
BBC Music Magazine
…Quarta phrases the lyrical melodies with disarming charm and ravishing timbre and displays all the requisite technical armoury, flamboyance and style.
The Strad
Quarta’s octaves are miraculously true (listen to No. 7), his double-stops uniquely smooth (No. 8) and left-hand pizzicato is rounded and immaculately controlled. Indeed, only a certain lack of devil-may-care exuberance prevents this masterly account from going straight tot the top of the list.
