Sauret / Rashidova 24 Etudes-Caprices 3 CD

With a portfolio of over 250 works, including major concertos and technical studies, Emile Sauret- hugely admired by Brahms, Liszt and Tchaikovsky- was one of the most distinguished figures of his time, a violinist with a stupendous technique and a profoundly analytical mind. With it's spellbinding effects and exceptional variation of form and dynamics, Volume 3 of his Etudes-Caprices, Op. 64 continues the exploration of this monumental work's fusion of virtuosity and expression. Nazrin Rashidova plays on Sauret's own 1685 Stradivari violin.
