About
From the Queen's Hall, violinist Clara-Jumi Kang makes her Edinburgh Festival debut with a solo recital.
Bach was a violinist himself and his Partitas for solo violin using Baroque dances are a celebrated part of the violin repertoire. As are Ysaye’s Opus 27 sonatas each written with a specific violinist in mind; the fifth for Belgian violinist Mathieu Crickboom captures his colourful character. A set of variations on themes by Paganini closes the recital, written by Nathan Milstein and considered some of the most challenging music for violinists to play.
Bach: Partita for Solo Violin No. 2 in D minor BWV 1004
Ysaye: Sonata no. 5 in G major Op.27 No.5 'L'Aurore'
Milstein: Paganiniana
