Skoryk: Paganinini By Arrangement

Catalogue No: TOCC0463
EAN/UPC: 5060113444639
Release Date: 2018-11-01
Composer: Myroslav Skoryk
Artists: Alexander Zemtsov, Lviv International Symphony Orchestra

Some composers – Enescu, Schumann and Szymanowski among them – have had a go at adding piano accompaniments to Paganini’s 24 Capricci for solo violin, and there are arrangements for any number of instrumental combinations. The Ukrainian Myroslav Skoryk (b. 1938) is the first composer to go the whole hog and orchestrate all 24 of them, turning Paganini’s virtuosic violin-writing into a succession of symphonic fireworks, often injecting a touch of humour along the way.

Lviv International Symphony Orchestra
