Samira Spiegel is an exceptional talent: she has won prizes at international competitions on both the violin and the piano! With Genuin, she now presents an exciting programme featuring music for both instruments inspired by Bach. On the piano, the works range from Franz Liszt's Fantasie und Fuge to Busoni's adaptation of the Chaconne and Francis Poulenc's Waltz-Improvisation to Damian Scholl's ... est un fleuve tranquille from 2013.
On the violin, she juxtaposes Eugène Ysaÿe's fifth solo sonata, which is genuinely haunted by Bach, with the original Chaconne by the great Leipzig master. An adventurous and ludicrously virtuosic ride through styles and centuries! © Genuin
