Programme Note
Rachel Podger is a phenomenon. She tours the world as an orchestral violinist and director, but she is at her mesmeric best when playing entirely on her own. Four strings and one bow does not sound like a lot when it comes to making gripping music on her baroque violin yet that's all that Podger needs to grip you.
While featuring mostly 17th- and 18th-century music the programme also contains a contempory piece and a Bach arrangement by the British harpsichordist Chad Kelly. But, yes, there's Bach too, of course. Bach and Podger - a meeting of minds across the centuries.
