Flutist Marina Piccinini relishes tradition with a twist. Having recorded J.S. Bach's Flute Sonatas with the Brasil Guitar Duo, the first ever recording using this combination of instruments (AVR 2196), she astounds again with astonishing virtuosity in her own arrangements of Paganini's devilishly difficult 24 Caprices. Piccinini matches Paganini's vision and independence of spirit.
