The Art of the Baroque Violin
Voices of Music showcases the sparkling genius of beloved baroque violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock on its Great Artist Series, 2011-2012. SFCV.org called Blumenstock’s playing, “lithe of bow, zingy of articulation, crisp of trills, dauntless and dashing in passagework.” She joins William Skeen on viola da gamba, and co-directors Hanneke van Proosdij on harpsichord, organ and recorder and David Tayler on archlute in a wonderfully varied program of music from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Program: Violin sonatas and trio sonatas by Castello, Schmelzer, Biber and Leclair. Bach's partita BWV 1002 for solo violin; lute work by Ferrabosco, solo gamba pieces by Marin Marais.
