About "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43 : Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43: Variation 16 und 17" by Tamás Vásáry

Vásáry teases the infamous Paganini theme into a shimmering hall of mirrors. Variation 16's delicate clockwork gives way to 17's sudden gust—a pianist balancing porcelain grace with a storm beneath the keys, like a tightrope walker over a black lake.
