Compact Discoveries Program 4: The Tune That Drove Composers Wild, Part 2
So many variations by so many composers were written on Paganini's original theme, Fred Flaxman couldn't fit even the most famous such works in one hour. So the theme continues in this program with very interesting, unusual, tuneful variations by Boris Blacher, Witold Lutoslowski, and "Cats" composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Review of Compact Discoveries 4: The Tune That Drove Composers Wild, Part 2
I really enjoyed this program. It was great to be able to hear and compare the various modern versions of Paganini's Variations. I am definitely going to listen to more of Fred Flaxman's programs.
