Digital Booklet

"Piccinini is the Heifetz of the flute. Her fluency and articulation are quite literally breathtaking ... I have rarely heard the solo flute sound quite as beautiful as this ... I suggest a disc at a time, but whatever, do try and hear Marina Piccinini."
- Gramophone
Flutist Marina Piccinini astounds with her virtuosity on this 2014 double album of her own arrangements of Paganini’s devilishly difficult 24 Capricci. Piccinini matches Paganini’s vision and independence of spirit, explaining she was drawn to transcribe and record all the Caprices as a challenge and stimulus for her own development, a path towards pushing the envelope outside her personal comfort zone.
"What I discovered and fell in love with was a musical voice that demanded a far greater emotional expression through technical perfection of phrasing, flexibility of embouchure, depth of sound, breath control, digital dexterity and precise articulation."
- Marina Piccinini
