Paganini...for nothing more than the Caprices.
Agreed...and I was thinking of Liszt for the Fantasies.
His Violin Concerto No. 1 is really his greatest work. I wore out some old 78 my father had when I was four or five years old listening to it over and over. It might have been Zino Francescatti with Ormandy and Philadelpha. A number of years ago I saw a CD rerelease of this and immediately bought two copies, one for myself of course, and one I mailed to my sister as a surprise. In fact I think I'll take it out and listen to it now.
