BERG
Lyric Suite - 3 Pieces
VIVALDI
The Four Seasons
With Alina Ibragimova directing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, expect an ‘astonishing performance of sizzling virtuosity and mind-blowing acrobatics’ (Glasgow Herald).
Bach didn’t indicate which instruments should perform The Art of the Fugue, so in recent years string players have claimed this fascinating work. Kurtág includes an Homage à J.S.B. in Signs, Games and Messages, his extraordinary exploration of the violin’s musical language. Berg’s Lyric Suite is often called his most beautiful work.
“Astonishing performance by Ibragimova…sizzling virtuosity and mind-blowing acrobatics.” Glasgow Herald
“Alina Ibragimova is…destined to be a force in the classical music firmament for decades to come.” The Times (UK)
