“Fathoming the depths and beauty built upon an essentially eternal breath is a moving experience. It reveals how opulent simplicity can be.” This is how the Münchner Merkur characterised this remarkable violinist’s art of interpretation, whose richness of expression is characterised by a deep understanding of the historical context of the music and the greatest possible fidelity to the original. The programme is rooted in Romanticism – characterised by emotionality, individuality and expressive, almost magical sounds.
