| Holy Crap! Salvatore Accardo Plays Paganini #1 (Cadenza) - 353 sec I wouldn't post this if it weren't worth listening to again and again. What an awesome display of technical genius and virtuosity! Let me know what you think - I have half a dozen other recordings of this cadenza.
By the way, Salvatore Accardo was the first violinist in history to record all 6 Paganini Violin Concertos in 1974. He made quite the buzz back then, according to my dad, but I'm sure nobody's heard of him today. Buy the CD and you won't be disappointed.
