Paganini, a life of a novel!
Olivier PONS, Violin Gabriel BIANCO, Guitar The concert combines Paganini's solos and duets for Violin and Guitar, and the story of his incredible life. Duration: ca. 120 min http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBTtdApO3ds More than 180.000 views on You Tube
The legendary Italian virtuoso is known for having given music a heroic dimension, consecrating its entry into Romanticism. But the man's fate is little known, and yet quite unimaginable... Almost buried alive at the age of 5, he was exhumed four times in the 55 years following his death. Almost sequestered with his violin during his childhood, by a father whose rigour echoed a vision of the Virgin announcing to his mother an incomparable talent and destiny, the appearances on stage of the Paganini phenomenon triggered collective hysteria. Close to one of Napoleon's sisters, imprisoned, suspected of being superhuman, then accused of having a pact with the devil, Paganini left for a seven-year tour and 400 concerts that ensured his fame for several centuries... But what exactly is the impact of these incredible events on Paganini's artistic production?
