Pavel Sporcl (violin)About
Paganini's influence continues with Josef Slavík's Caprice, in what is a world premiere recording, In his day, the Bohemian violinist (1806-1833) was often compared to Paganini. The only serious contender to the virtuoso crown in Paganini's lifetime was Heinrich Ernst (1814-1865), with his variations on Last Rose of Summer. Nathan Milstein (1904-1992) was one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century. As a tribute to Paganini he wrote his Paganiniana. These variations include the theme of the 24th Caprice, and from the other caprices, too. Šporcl plays his own variations on 'Where is my homeland?', a theme composed in 1834, which became the Czech national anthem in 1918.
Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) is the most modern composer included, with his tribute, A Paganini. The only non-violinist here, he wrote many great works for violin. Of all the violinists here, Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was the least virtuosic. His Recitative and Scherzo, which he dedicated to violinist Eugčne Ysa˙e, makes a lovely encore in the Romantic style. Finally, by way of bonus, Šporcl plays the cadenza for Paganini's Violin Concerto in D major, written by Jan Kubelík (1880-1940).
Pavel Šporcl and his famous blue violin, which was created by leading contemporary instrument maker Jan Špidlen, are celebrated around the world. He is considered in the 'royal line' of Czech violinists.
