Description

When composers came, in the second half of the 20th century, to venture into new territories of violin literature, they were naturally inclined towards the pushing back of boundaries, often making extreme technical demands. Performers found themselves adapting traditional methods to meet the challenge of these new modes of playing. Today, therefore, we look on in amazement as violinists such as the award-winning Julie-Anne Derome reveal to us the seemingly limitless capacities of the human machine.
