Carolin Widmann - L'Aurore

German violinist Carolin Widmann’s imaginative solo recital spans a thousand years of music history from Hildegard vom Bingen’s antiphon Spiritus sanctus vivificans vita to Three Miniatures by George Benjamin. En route, Widman’s “little encyclopaedia” embraces compositions by Eugène Ysaÿe and George Enescu, pieces that brought new expressive possibilities to violin literature. A radiant account of Bach’s Partita No 2 in D minor rounds off the recording, made at Auditorio Studio Molo RSI in Lugano in July 2021 and produced by Manfred Eicher.
