Presto Recording of the Week
30th April 2021

Alina Ibragimova (violin)

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.

"Despite Ibragimova’s precision being consistently faultless, there is absolutely nothing on this album to suggest that expression has been sacrificed to mere accuracy...I think I’m justified in proposing that this is her most impressive achievement to date." - David Smith, Presto Classical, 30th April 2021
