This programme traces a lineage of “encounters with Bach” through three works for unaccompanied violin, beginning with the D minor Partita and its vast Chaconne. Read here less as virtuoso showpiece than as a danse macabre, the music’s sequence of dances gathers momentum towards a final movement that seems to hold both farewell and transcendence—an inward narrative of grief, memory, and hard-won calm. From that world, Hindemith’s Solo Sonata (1917/18) feels like a continuation at first: baroque-leaning gestures and contrapuntal thinking gradually loosen into a more unsettled, near-atonal horizon. Zimmermann’s 1951 Sonata completes the arc with a distinctly modern voice, yet one that still acknowledges tradition—most explicitly in the appearance of the B-A-C-H motif in the closing movement—and, for all its twelve-tone origins, retains a surprisingly tonal pull. The result is a concentrated listening experience: intimate, searching, and richly interconnected.
