Any violinist who successfully plows through the Paganini Caprices deserves immediate admiration. A guitarist who transcribes these enduringly difficult pieces and plays them flawlessly defies belief. John Williams first dared to experiment with Paganini on the guitar; Eliot Fisk has followed his lead and appropriated the whole cycle of 24 Caprices. -- Alex Ross, The New York Times
