Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mintz was called on a week's notice as a teenager to replace Itzhak Perlman in Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1, having already debuted with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta at eleven. His complete recording of the 24 Caprices, made after he signed a long-term Deutsche Grammophon contract in his early twenties, remains a benchmark of Romantic virtuoso repertoire.
