Violin recital with Simon Zhu
Three emblematic personalities for three eras and three very distinct worlds. This is how the choice of authors is characterized for the second appointment of Schio Musica, with a violin recital by Simon Zhu under the banner of virtuosity: Bach, Paganini and Ysaÿe, universally recognized as pillars of the violin repertoire. Bach’s Sonata No. 2 from the famous collection Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin will be performed, which have always been a challenge also and nonetheless for the technical and interpretative asperities. Paganini, whose famous instrument “Cannone” Zhu was able to play, will instead be represented by the performance of six of his emblematic 24 caprices for solo violin, another milestone that contains the very essence of the composer and aims to distort the instrument, leading it to overcome its apparent limits and renew its nature. Added to this is the performance of two of Ysaÿe’s Six sonatas for solo violin, a grandiose compositional project that is both a tribute and a challenge to Bach’s masterpiece, which represent a meeting point between the tradition of Bachian origin and contemporary harmonic and timbric conquests. An unmissable program to listen to a great international talent in an architectural jewel of the early twentieth century.
