Anna Lindal – violin alone
SAK 4610-3
   
     
 
Anna Lindal has been the most renowned Swedish violinist specializing in new music for the last decade. Her playing is characterized by naked beauty – powerful, but not muscular, straight rather than sweetend. A lone voice contemplating. John Cage: Chorals and One10, Aldo Clementi: Fantasia su Giorgio moEnCH, Lars Hallnäs: fromm und fröhlich sein, Nicolaus A. Huber: musik für violine allein, György Kurtág: Hommage à John Cage, Christian Wolff: The Death of Mother Jones and Six Melodies Variation. "Without becoming introvert, she plays inwards, listening, reflecting. It is austere and ascetic as well as complex – a whiteness containing all colours." (GöteborgsPosten)
