ÉMILE SAURET (1852-1920): Études-Caprices, Op. 64, Vol. 1 - Nos. 1-7.

Description: When Naxos’ first Sauret disc appeared six years ago (08N050), we said that he “might be the most ignored violinist of the 19th century who was world-famous in his time”. Now we get the beginning of a jaw-dropping sequence of 24 Etudes-Caprices which marry virtuosity with every expressive opportunity available to the instrument. The result is one of the unsung but major cycles for solo violin spanning all twenty-four keys Nazrin Rashidova (violin).
