Iryna Gintova - 12 Fantasias for Solo Violin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ukrainian violinist Iryna Gintova performs Telemann's 12 Fantasias for solo violin, one of the pinnacles of the Baroque repertoire for the instrument. Telemann's 12 Fantasias embrace an array of European styles fashionable at the time, including Italianate concerto-style movements inspired by Corelli, contrasted with pieces in the French style. Telemann was an able, self-taught violinist and relished showcasing the instrument's varied colours and techniques in these works, including multiple stopping, implied counterpoint, improvisatory lines, and tussles between traditional Baroque intricacy with newer, lighter and more forward-looking virtuoso melodies. Iryna Gintova performs these wide-ranging works with the nuance and fluidity for which she is increasingly known in performances that have taken her to major venues, competitions and festivals around the world.
