This album marks Italian violinist Francesca Dego’s debut orchestral recording on Deutsche Grammophon. It features two Italian masterpieces: Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari’s seldom-performed Violin Concerto and Paganini’s renowned Concerto No. 1, which celebrates its 200th anniversary this year. Dego recorded Wolf-Ferrari’s concerto when she gave the UK premiere of the piece at Symphony Hall with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the renowned Italian conductor Daniele Rustioni.
