“STEPAN RAK: DEDICATIONS.” Nimbus Records NI 5239 (compact disc). This disc of parodies/homages shows the Czech guitarist’s remarkable abilities with mimicry and transformations, as well as his explosive virtuosity. Musically strongest on the largely pops agenda are the three movements of flamenco nuevo dedicated to Lorca and the “Romance Ontario” (to Glenn Gould), but all are high in entertainment value.
