A new disc featuring Paganini transcriptions. I already have the Hambourg set in my collection (Tobias Bigger on Antes edition so not the world premiere that Grand Piano state) and the Friedman (I have Raekallio, Tryon, Froundjian and Johansen who plays hs own coda) however I believe most of the others are mostly new to the catalogue. The Busoni has been recorded before but maybe not the 1925 version (Groschopp on Capriccio plays the 1909 version).

I'm looking forward to hearing the Zadora - I think in this instance they are correct to put "world premiere recordings".

Goran Filipec is a superb pianist - I very much enjoyed his recording of the Liszt Paganini Etudes on Naxos (vol.42 in their ongoing series) - see http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2016/May/Liszt_piano_v42_8573458.htm
