Thanks for sharing these, Alex. I'm sending the link on to one of my young mandolin students as well.
I was so taken by Victor's Basque Variations that I made an arrangement of it for string orchestra. It's not as good as the original, but I simply couldn't help myself. (No one else seems to be able to help me much, either.) If anyone would like to take a look at it, I've posted a Scorch file here. If Victor doesn't object to my further butchering of his excellent material, I'm hoping to arrange some of his other mando works for strings as well whenever time permits.
There's nothing like the originals, though, and I'm grateful to be able to listen to (and view) these wonderful performances.
(When do we get to see a video of Victor playing? )
