Title: Eliot Fisk - Nicolo Paganini's 24 Caprices
Post by: Armin on January 03, 2007, 11:30:20 pm

It's a bit old, but I was just able to get a hold of it recently. If you like classical music, you'll love this. Eliot Fisk plays Nicolo Paganini's 24 Caprices for Solo Violin... on a nylon string guitar!

If you want to get an idea of what these sound like, there are some good videos on youtube of Heifetz (imo the greatest violinist of all time) playing them.

Heifetz, Caprice #24 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJymvZiEFeo)

I like when he goes to the pizzicato at 3:51 -- a great example of his technique.

Edit: Although I think I enjoy this recording (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfDXZ4RCm6U) more. :)

It's a pretty good series. Pretty impressive guitarwork, too.
