Lipiński - Overture, Violin Concerto, Symphony - Falger, Wijatkowski

"Karol Lipiński, the most famous Polish virtuoso violinist of the first half of the 19th century (...) His professional life changed radically when towards the end of 1814 he left for Vienna, where he met Louis Spohr (...) From that moment on he started to think more seriously about a career of a virtuoso; to become one he focused on perfecting his technique and extending his repertoire. Another turning point came in 1817, when Lipiński set out on his first tour, which proved of great importance, mainly because it was then that he met and played together with Niccolo Paganini. Joint concerts were given by the two musicians. (...) Thanks to his rivalry with Paganini, whom he met again in Warsaw in 1829, his name became well known to music enthusiasts throughout Europe. Karol Lipiński was one of the biggest virtuoso violinists of the time; this is attested, among other things, by Paganini’s opinion, who – when asked to say who he considered the greatest violinist in Europe – used to respond: ‘I don’t know who the greatest is, but Lipiński is certainly the second greatest’ (...) Lipiński’s compositional output comprises three symphonies, an overture, chamber music, vocal-and-instrumental and stage pieces, and – most important of all – compositions for solo violin, including 11 caprices, as well as pieces for violin with accompaniment of orchestra or piano. These are: four violin concertos, of which Violin Concerto No 2 in D Major ‘Concerto Militaire’ is the most popular (...)"
