Jennifer Koh – violin

Bach’s solo violin music, performed in the 14th century Great Hall at Lennoxlove, continues Lammermuir’s special interest in his music.  The programme concludes with the magisterial Chaconne – the unforgettable climax of the D minor Partita.  The Bach frames three short meditative works by three stellar musical figures of today in Elliot Carter, Kaija Saariaho and Esa-Pekka Salonen.  Jennifer Koh describes this programme as “moving from light to darkness and back to light – Bach’s Chaconne is the ultimate journey of reaching a transcendence through struggle…”

“Koh’s white-hot imagination and her focused, sweet-toned playing made this a performance to remember”
