Johann Sebastian Bach, Vol. 1

Oboe Concerto in D Minor - Adagio

Arabella Steinbacher has firmly established herself as one of today’s leading violinists on the international concert scene, where her mastery of the violin frequently joins forces with the world’s major symphony orchestras. The New York Times summed up her playing as follows: “Balanced lyricism and fire – among her assets are a finely polished technique and a beautifully varied palette of timbres.”

Steinbacher’s feeling for the timeless melodies on this CD runs as deep as her technical command is great. The result is lyricism of the highest order. The album opens with a lush arrangement of Max Bruch’s much-loved, yet surprising, Violin Concerto No. 1, followed by two exquisite pieces: Chausson’s Poème and Steinbacher’s acclaimed interpretation of Korngold’s Violin Concerto in D major.

Francesco Geminiani - Concerto grosso in D minor, Op. 2, No. 3

Spotify suggested Meredith Monk this morning on one of those 'Hey we know you better than you' lists they compile and I was floored (even though I was already horizontal).

An astounding composer; go find her if you haven't already but before you go, I thought I'd offer my cover of a favourite from what I've heard so far.
