These works deal with the use of the violin's scordatura, i.e. The different tunings of the violin strings. The experimentation with sounds was already to be found in the works of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and runs right through the history of music: from Ysaÿe and Camille Saint-Saëns to contemporary works that are recorded here for the first time. As soloist and chamber musician, Valeria Zorina has performed at multiple international festivals, such as the Cardiff Festival (UK), Schwetzinger Festspiele, Hambacher Musikfest (Germany), the Evian Rostropovich Festival, Royaumont Festival (France), ANTIDOGMA Torino (Italy), as well as in numerous prestigious Concert Halls - Queen Elizabeth Hall (London), the Tempelliaukion Hall (Helsinki), Liederhalle (Stuttgart), Alte Aula (Heidelberg), Auditorio Nacional Madrid (Spain).
