A solo violin recital with music by Bach, Telemann, Missy Mazzoli and Astor Piazolla
In this collection of pieces, Philippa delivers the Partita in D minor by Bach, one of the most deeply contemplative of pieces with the astonishingly complex final movement the Chaconne, a dance over a ground bass with 64 variations. Missy Mazzoli is a groundbreaking composer from New York who responds to the opening of the Chaconne in her mesmerising piece Dissolve, O my Heart. Telemann casts an elegant Baroque path through his solo fantasias and is answered by the passionate and fiery works by Astor Piazzolla who developed the tango nuevo.
Philippa is enjoying exploring the wonderful cello suites arranged for violin and shares the fourth suite tonight.
