Before EugÃ¨ne YsaÃ¿e's six solo sonatas /written 1923/24) or ZoltÃ¡n SzÃ©kely's solo sonata (written 1919/20), the established solo violin repertoire was limited to Bach's Sonatas and Partitas and Paganini's 24 Caprices. Reflections, Carolin Widmann's new CD, features solo works beyond and since YsaÃ¿e, by Boulez, Sciarrino and JÃ¶rg Widmann. A hugely versatile musician, Ms Widmann's activities span the great classical concerti, new commissions specially written for her, chamber music and, increasingly, period instrument performances including play/direction from the violin.
