Recording CreditsRecorded by Pavel Sporcl (violin) and Petr Jiríkovský (piano) on Supraphon SU 3772-2.
ReviewDead center in this recital Sporcl offers an especially brilliant treat: jazz/classical "fusion" composer David N. Baker's Ethnic Variations on a Theme of Paganini. Not only does this marvelous work take the famous Paganini 24th Caprice through a riotous variety of pop and contemporary music styles, but it does so in a way that is so in keeping with the spirit of the composer as evidenced by the other music on the disc that there's no sense of stylistic incongruity at all--merely a refreshing contrast. --David Hurwitz, Classics Today
