Paganini Buy New: $10.99 |
This slam-bang, take-no-prisoners account of the Paganini Caprices is just the thing for a rainy day. Considered the last word in virtuoso violin technique when they were composed–and still quite a challenge today–these delightful miniatures each get played to the hilt by Perlman, reveling in their technical intricacies while also making the most of their lively charm and musicality. This is simply one of the best solo violin recordings available, and it belongs on any Perlman fan’s shortlist. –David Hurwitz

Guero Buy New: $11.99 |
Now that Beck has effectively exorcised his personal demons with 2002’s hyperconfessional Sea Change, he can get back to the business of being a total fruit loop. We all know what that involves: videogame sound effects, random shouting in Spanish, and rhymes about popsicles and vegetable vans. And that’s just the second track. Guero is like every Beck album condensed into one, a no-holds-barred collision of two-turntables and a microphone with the added bonus of guitars, bossa-nova beats, Jack White, lyrics about spaceships, and dumptrucks full of ideas all fighting to be heard above the ruckus. It’s an exhausting and exhilarating listen with lots of peaks, such as the digitized power ballad “Broken Drum” and handclap-drenched folk freak-out “Farewell Ride,” and more than enough to restore anyone’s faith in Beck as one of the most chaotically inspired songwriters of our time. — Aidin Vaziri

StringWorks Maestro violin outfit A |
One of the most popular violins available today for the advanced violinist or adult amateur, the StringWorks Maestro violin features some of the most beautiful figured woods and a rich oil varnish that is tastefully antiqued. The tone of these violins is rich, resonant and full, with deep bass registers and a strong and vibrant upper register. Suitable for the most discriminating violinist, these instruments provide the visual beauty that is surpassed only by the rich tonal colors and depth of sound. Exclusively at StringWorks! Remember, there are many instrument brands now available with the ‘Maestro’ name, but there is only one StringWorks Maestro- the original and still the best! This outfit (Maestro violin outfit A) includes our very popular Joh. Krausch violin bow (pernambuco stick, nickel and silver fittings), and our D-shape case, with 2 bow holders, music pocket, handle, strap, and Cordura cover. “We truly love the Maestro violin that we purchased from StringWorks. It’s a tremendous joy to hear our son play an instrument of such high quality and it has such a remarkably beautiful appearance. He is very proud of his fine instrument and the CodaBow is really outstanding, too. His teacher was also delighted with this violin and couldn’t put it down. It has a powerful, yet warm tone that is really impressive. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would recommend StringWorks to anyone interested in getting an excellent instrument and a great value.”- B.H. Solid, hand carved maple back and sides, solid hand carved aged spruce top, hand applied supple oil varnish, slightly antiqued. Stradivari model faithfully followed, with exacting graduation of the top and bottom plates for optimum tone and playability. Genuine ebony fingerboard, Aubert Mirecourt bridge, Thomastik Dominant strings on 4/4 size. Available with top quality boxwood or ebony fittings.
