The very attempt to record all the 24 Caprices by Niccolò Paganini is a daring action. Not only in terms of the tehnical challenges a young violinist must deal with when he opens Paganini's scores, but also in terms of the comparisons that are being made - especially by the other violonists and professionals, connoisseurs of the subtle discography that carries the same subject. It is worth mentioning that Paganini's Caprices were recorded by artists, such as, Itzhak Perlman, Yehudi Menuhin, Salvatore Accardo and Frank Peter Zimermann and more recenlty by Julia Fischer and many, many other virtuosos. Răzvan Stoica, the winner of the Euroradio New Talent competition in Slovakia in 2013, also recorded Paganini's Caprices. We are talking about a disciple of the maestro Modest Iftinchi who, after he graduated The National Music University of Bucharest, he studied at The Conservatorium van Amsterdam, with Ilya Grubert. As the winner of the Strad Competition in Salzburg, Răzvan Stoica plays a Stradivarius violin which be borrowed from an anonimous person. The Paganini Album, recently released by Aliud Records, provides a picture of this musician's qualities - technical level, lines of force, Răzvan Stoica's personal interpretation of the sound, musical discourse construction and expressiveness, a feature which is part of the composition profile of the one who radically changed the art of playing the violin in the early 1800's; and all this on a Stradivarius violin dated 1729.
