A rhapsodic and fantastic concert that Alexandra Soumm has built for Solo alla Rotonda. From Purcell’s Prelude to Daems’ world premiere, the Russian-French musician’s violin wanders through the centuries, also proposing the little-known Hindemith Sonata, whose ironic title makes fun of the most popular small talk topic ever: the weather conditions. The program closes with the famous “Erlkönig” by Schubert, transcribed for solo violin.
