Dance, rhapsodic style, extended harmonies, serial technique, Johann Sebastian Bach and Jewish music come together in the two Suites for solo violin by Bloch, who in addition to being a composer was a violinist and pupil of Ysaÿe. Composed for Menuhin, the Suites are perfect for the violin of Nurit Stark, historical presence at the Festival, which will be accompanied by the participation of the cellist Giovanni Gnocchi for the execution of the thoughtful Sarabande in C major by Bach.
