  • Paganini's deal with the Devil

    Send us Fan Mail

    For our New Years Episode, we have chosen the 'seemingly' true story of the greatest violinist of all time, Paganini and his supposed deal with the Devil. It is fact that Paganini played the 'Grand Sonata Miltare' on one string only at The Theatre Royal on Drury Lane on 10th July 1833. He was indeed a sensation and hailed a God. It has never been done by anyone since! Listen here as Nick Murray Brown and Mario take you down his devastating road of destruction.

    The song was 'Soul Collector' by Zingaro Blue

    The Artwork derives from the original painting of 'The Soul Collector' by Artist John E Davey.
