Product Description
The music on this recording demonstrates how composers in Germany,Italy,Austria and England responded to the challenges of writing for violin senza basso.Music for violin senza basso had a distinguished history before Bach and was widely cultivated by his contemporaries.Violinistic virtuosity was extraordinarily experimental in the late seventeenth century,with novelties in the tuning of the strings(scordaura),bowing techniques,chordal playing and contrapuntal textures(with the development of sophisticated double-triple-and quadruple-stopping techniques)and playing in high positions.This DISC of solo violin music is a real mixture of some of Rachel’s favourite pieces.Rachel Podger is one of the most creative talents to emerge in the field of period performance.Over the last two decades she has established herself as a leading interpreter of the music of the Baroque and Classical periods.After beginnings with The Palladian Ensemble and Florilegium,she was leader of The English Concert from 1997 to 2002 and in 2004 began a guest directorship with The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with whom she appeared in a televised BBC Prom in 2007.As a guest director and soloist she has collaborated with numerous orchestras including Arte dei Suonatori(Poland),Musica Angelica and Santa Fe Pro Musica(USA),The Academy of Ancient Music,The European Union Baroque Orchestra,Holland Baroque Society and the Handel and Haydn Society(USA).
