Jude Ziliak - I come to the garden alone: German music for solo violin

Violin

"Choice flowers ... of charming rarity:" so Handel described the contents of his gift to Telemann in 1754. So too might we describe this assortment of (mostly) German works for solo violin, by Telemann, Bach, Vilsmayr, and Montanari. This program begins with disorderly, manic virtuosity from Montanari. It moves on to the civilized and touching music of Telemann, a rhapsody from Biber's little-known student Vilsmayr, and finally Bach's all-encompassing Ciaccona.
