Very nicely done. Interesting venue. Interesting picture of this fine violinist in her website under "news." Thanks for bringing this piece to our attention.
So talented violinist but I really can't get used to such music (I know some like it very much and respect all tastes). As a violin student, I know how difficult the technical aspects of such pieces are even though I do not enjoy the way they sound. I just wonder what someone who is knew to the violin would say??? I have an hard time to understand what such composers had in their head while composing... Sure in some cases, I know these composers were extremely revolted. Any music history specialist here?
But thanks for posting because I find the violinist (and pianist too of course) very talented to play this.
