‘Haunting lyricist' or 'devil violinist' are terms critics use to describe impressions Manrico Padovani conveys with virtuosic, profound playing as well as flawless technique in his concerts. Here the fascination can be felt by means of Beethoven's Violin Concerto, the Romance No. 2 as well as a Violin Sonata. Manrico Padovani, Swiss violinist of Italian origin is defined by critics as the "Wizard of the Violin" for his musical intensity and technical agility. He is not only a great musician able to excite and establish contact with his audience, but he involves and fascinates them by explaining classical music in a clear way, bringing it closer to everyone, even the youngest audience members. © ARS-Produktion
