The Swiss violinist says, "It is also like a hall of mirrors, as some tracks invoke the spirits of two or three violinists." From an early age, Sebastian was immersed in a lineage of violinists who favored Romantic transcriptions of Baroque repertoire, studying with a pupil of the great Ukrainian-born violinist Nathan Milstein. Later in life, he fell under the influence of violinist Ida Haendelon YouTube, watching her perform Corelli's La folia variations. "She played this amazing virtuoso cadenza, and I was captivated. "So arose the concept of a program reflecting the ethos of La folia, the ear-catching theme which has fascinated composers for centuries, from the Baroque era's Tomaso Antonio Vitali and Giuseppe Tartini to latter-day Ottorino Respighi and Fritz Kreisler. Sebastian captures the sound world with sincerity, playing on two different violins, the 1710 "King George" Stradivarius, and a Guadagnini made in 1761.© DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
