About

A wonderful album from virtuoso violinist Linus Roth of uplifting dances by Bartok, Stravinsky, Piazzolla, Brahms, Wieniawski, Bazzini and Symanowsky, recorderd at the visually stunning and acoustically unique Library of the former monastery in Ochsenhausen, Germany.

2020... Sitting at home with no performances ahead brought Linus Roth back to his notebooks, in which he had been jotting down random musical ideas over the course of many years. One of them that suddenly struck him, was an idea for a recording programme made up of some of his most beloved pieces for violin and piano, all of which had in common both a virtuoso character and that they were all dances. What better way to lift the spirits than with dance music? Linus called his long term musical partner, pianist Jose Gallardo and five weeks later, they had the remarkable opportunity to record the album in the visually stunning and acoustically unique Library of the former monastery in Ochsenhausen, Germany, home of the Music Academy of Baden -Wurttemberg.

May 2021

Roth finds a silvery sweetness for the more lyrical sections of the Stravinsky, an earthy fullness for the Brahms and skitters through the harmonics and left-hand pizzicato passages of the Wieniawski and Bazzini with dazzling accuracy and speed.

May 2021

[A] splendid, wide-ranging recital of virtuoso danceorientated violin showpieces. Linus Roth fervently throws himself into the elemental syntax of Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances.
