Violinist Siwoo Kim returns from New York to dazzle our audience with dozens of diabolically difficult works of virtuosity and emotional intensity, commemorating All Hallows’ Eve in “classical” style.
Eugene Ysaÿe’s bard-like virtuoso solo sonata draws inspiration from Bach’s violin partitas, as well as from the Gregorian Chant “Dies Irae,” used as song of for the dead in Requiem masses. Schubert’s Erlkönig is based on Goethe's poem about a father frantically riding through a stormy night to save his sick, hallucinating son from a malevolent supernatural Elf-King.
Tartini dreamed that the Devil himself serenaded him with an enticing violin solo, which he promptly wrote down the next morning for us all to enjoy, called the “Devil’s Trill” Sonata. Paganini was allegedly the best violinist ever to have lived, reputedly because he had sold his soul to Satan in exchange for his abilities, explicitly demonstrated in his composition “La Campanella.”
