http://dartington.org/ http://www.dartington.org/ Thu, 23 Feb 2012 07:32:00 GMT Brilliant young violinist Alina Ibragimova makes her Academy of Ancient Music debut in a programme which vividly charts ground-breaking developments in the role of the violin as a solo instrument. The programme begins with Alina alone on the stage, performing what is thought to be the first work for solo violin: Biber’s Passacaglia. Then she’s joined by a harpsichord for Bach’s Violin Sonata in E major. Then, the stage bustles with action as the whole orchestra arrives to perform violin concertos by JS Bach and Vivaldi. Full of glorious music, this is a concert not to be missed.
