The German violinist Ingolf Turban plays unpublished works by Paganini

Saturday December 15, at the Auditorium of the Casa Paganini in Genoa, will be a special occasion.

The German violinist Ingolf Turban and the guitarist Adriano Sebastiani will be giving a concert (commencing at 8.30 pm) in which they will present the world premieres of six pieces by Niccolò Paganini recently rediscovered in the Sivori Archive. The set of "Sei Cantabili e Valtz" are pieces Paganini wrote for guitar and violin for performance by his only pupil, the “good lad sig. Camillo Sivori”. Camillo Sivori (1815-1894) took lessons from Paganini between 1822 and 1824 and was closely associated with the celebrated Genoese virtuoso during his subsequent career. The six "Cantabili e Valtz" have never been performed before, except for a private family performance on March 15, 1824, in which Paganini furnished the guitar accompaniment for the eight-year-old “Camillino”.
At the concert on December 15, marking the 225th birthday of Niccolò Paganini, Ingolf Turban will play Sivori's celebrated “Vuillaume” violin, placed at his disposal by the City of Genoa.

Now considered to be one of the world's finest exponents of Paganini, Ingolf Turban was appointed first violin of the Munich Philharmonic at the age of 21 by Sergiu Celibidache, who advised him three years later to concentrate exclusively on his solo career. Ingolf Turban has already recorded more than thirty CDs, including the six Violin Concertos by Paganini and a variety of discoveries that have enriched the violin repertoire.

In 2006, he was musical consultant to and appeared as Paganini in the documentary film “Paganinis Geheimnis” (Paganini’s secret), broadcast by the German public television network ARD.
