Time Travel

Our Time Travel begins with the humorous depiction of a flea by Roger Wanamo. Through Prokofiev’s lyrical solo violin sonata we visit the depths of the Baroque with J.S.Bach majestic C-major solo sonata and the mystical Passacaglia by von Biber. The pastel solo sonata by Hindemith op.31/2 takes us homebound to a Finnish Premier by Georgian composer Zura Dzagnidze. “Intruder” for violin and backing track is a rhythmic, imaginative work containing electronic effects and flavours of folk music from afar.
