Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang at the Edinburgh International Festival

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鈥檚 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
