Itzhak Perlman - Paganini: 24 Caprices - VINYL LP

About this product
Double vinyl LP pressing. Emerging triumphant in consistent and spectacular fashion, Itzhak Perlman - always a perceptive musician - also tells a captivating story with every piece. Ever since they were first published in Milan in 1820, the 24 Caprices of Niccolò Paganini have been regarded as the ultimate challenge for any virtuoso violinist. They are provocatively dedicated Agli artisti ('To the artists'), but few of Paganini's contemporaries were able to tackle the multiple technical demands inherent in the most astounding solo violin works yet written. In the 20th century, even allowing for the development of instrumental technique, the advent of modern recording technology and it's editing facilities, few performers in our own age have been brave enough to commit all 24 of the Caprices to disc. The legendary Jascha Heifetz recorded only three, Yehudi Menuhin only six. The Italian maestro Ruggiero Ricci, a life-long advocate of Paganini's music, was the first to set down all 24 on record. But it was Israeli-born Perlman in 1972, then aged 26, who was to make the definitive recording. Almost half a century later, Perlman's recording remains the benchmark by which all others are measured.

A starry but congenial trio, Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma and Daniel Barenboim interact with each other and with the Berlin Philharmonic in Beethoven's extraordinary Triple Concerto. Released for the first time on vinyl.
![Bambara - Love on My Mind - 12-INCH SINGLE [12 inch Vinyl Single]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/e75182ca-5a94-41c0-9ca1-1fe36c8ee02d.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
With Love on My Mind - the six song mini-album, mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Tennis, Parquet Courts, Johnny Marr) - Bambara condense all the energy and darkness that have made themso compelling and rearrange it into something defiantly new.Opening track, InchSlither in the Rain,Inch all hissing high-hat and spectral synthlines, is a true statement of intent. It's minimal and atmospheric, foregrounding Bateh's raw vocals as he introduces oneof Love On My Mind's main characters years after the events ofthe album are over, a lonely man who throws bottles at airplanesand dances a two-step in the pattern of a figure-8. While Batehhas always been adept at character sketches, tracks lke InchSlitherInch introduce a newfound vulnerability that runs true through theentire album and cause the songs to hit on a more human level.Similarly, InchPoint And ShootInch - in which each stanza describes thelouche, lawless scenes of Inchrooftop girls / standing shoulder-to-shoulder, naked figures with their hips / cocked,Inch busted up jaws, and couches full of burn-holes captured by the snapshots of Love on My Mind'sfemale lead - displays an autobiographical intimacy that is not as apparent in Bambara's previous releases. This tenderness is echoed onInchBirds,Inch a rare love song (from which the EP's title is derived), and album closer InchLittle Wars,Inch a gripping finale of loneliness and isolation.But while these songs may display a softer side of Bambara, it'simportant to note that they haven't lost the thrill of what attracted somany people to them in the first place. InchMythic LoveInch (featuring vocalsfrom Bria Salmena), with it's driving bassline and ricocheting guitarlines, brings to mind past rave-ups like InchSerafinaInch and InchSunbleachedSkullsInch but obliterates them in the process, while InchFeelin' Like A FuneralInch - a dangerously oscillating tale of a city knifi
Vinyl LP pressing. Describing it as Incha journey that will last you for the rest of your lifeInch, Perlman emphasises that the Beethoven Violin Concerto is among the greatest of musical masterpieces. It's stature is reflected in this magnificent recording, conducted with nobility by Carlo Maria Giulini.
