BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang at the Edinburgh International Festival

A virtuosic solo violin festival debut of music by Bach, Ysaye and Milstein.

From the Queen's Hall, award-winning violinist Clara-Jumi Kang performs a virtuosic solo programme of Bach, Ysaye and Milstein.

From the Queen's Hall, violinist Clara-Jumi Kang makes her Edinburgh Festival debut with a solo recital.

Bach was a violinist himself and his Partitas for solo violin using Baroque dances are a celebrated part of the violin repertoire.  As are Ysaye’s Opus 27 sonatas each written with a specific violinist in mind; the fifth for Belgian violinist Mathieu Crickboom captures his colourful character.  A set of variations on themes by Paganini closes the recital, written by Nathan Milstein and considered some of the most challenging music for violinists to play.

Bach: Partita for Solo Violin No. 2 in D minor BWV 1004
Ysaye: Sonata no. 5 in G major Op.27 No.5 'L'Aurore'
Milstein: Paganiniana
