3 out of 5 stars Possesion by quite a sedate demon.......2006-05-10

Vasary puts in a proficient performance in the recording of the Paganini variations (with the LSO conducted by Yuri Ahronovitch). I feel that although there are some nice touches, the performance lacks the demonic passion that is present in the most exciting performances of these variations on a theme of a man suspected, in his time, of being the devil himself. Perhaps a live performance is needed to inspire the energy of an epic battle between good and evil represented in this work.

The solo pieces (Corelli variations and Preludes) performed by Lazar Berman, are a little more sparkling, and are a nice inclusion.
