Repertoire
|
 With
the years I have built up a large repertoire, which includes both
standard works and rarities. I often compile the concert programs
thematically. The instrument combinations include: violin and piano,
violin and guitar, violin and organ, 2 violins, violin and orchestra
and violin solo. In a typical concert larger works by the great
composers will often be alternated with shorter pieces, exhibiting
the charm and virtuosity of the violin.These pieces were once very
popular.
During the "Golden Days" of the violin such famous artists as Fritz
Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, the young Yehudi Menuhin and a host of
others included these beauties in their programs. Audiences still
love them. In today’s concerts this lovely part of the repertoire
has disappeared in favour for chamber music and sonatas. To perform
them again means more to me than just to present some rarities. It
is a connection with the old tradition of violin art.
Another important part of my repertory are the sonatas and partitas
for soloviolin by Johann Sebastian Bach. These noble works I like to
perform as a complete cycle in 3 different concert events, but of
course I also play them separately as part of mixed programs. I
prefer to play them in churches, mainly because here they usually
receive the good acoustics and the spirited atmosphere, which they
require.

Originally conceived for the music lovers and violin fanciers of
his home town, the university town of Tübingen, the concert
cycles are designed to provide a deeper insight into certain
aspects of music history, by combining concert performances with
commentary, sometimes with the aid of a picture show. After a
presentation of the historical background of the music, an
audience can listen to the music with greater understanding and
awareness.
