Jan Stigmer refers to them as his trilogy. Three recordings with music that could easily be described as
being the very epicentre of virtuoso violin music. And some great music it is!
“ This music has been with me for as long as I can remember. In dreams, in incredibly hard work, in
success and in failure. These recording represents not only my great passion for the violin, but they also
represent the closing of a chapter. And even though I will surely revisit some of this music, other parts of
it now belongs to the past.
Probably the most daunting and fascinating
work single instrument ever written. Jan
Stigmers ambition has been to focus on the
lyrical qualities of Paganinis music.
Bela Bartók Sonata for violin solo, Willhelm Ernst The Last rose of
summer and Der Erlkönig, Niccoló Paganini God Save the King and Nel cor
pií non mi sento and Nathan Milstein Paganiniana.
A truly amazing repertoire on this recording. From Bartók’s monumental
sonata, to Ernsts amazingly intelligent showpieces, via Paganini’s grand
pieces for violin solo to Milstein’s very personal summary of Paganini’s
music.
The six sonatas for violin solo by Eugéne Ysaÿe are among the most
personal and inspired works written for the violin. The richness of pallet
needed to play these pieces make them the most challenging of tasks for
any performer.
