With her new album “Soliloquy”, violinist Rachel Koblyakov presents her personal selection of unaccompanied pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries that helped her through the artistic solitude that was imposed on so many musicians during 2021. Besides milestones by Hindemith and Boulez, she performs two works by Orlando Bass and Matthias Pintscher that highlight the broad spectrum of this exceptional artist. This selection of repertoire also represents an exemplary journey through the development of the violin’s playing techniques since WWII.
