Violinist Rachel Podger brings her spellbinding artistry to a solo recital, championing lesser-known Baroque works in a programme bookended by transcriptions of J S Bach’s most popular music.

The dramatic opening notes of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue are some of the most recognisable in organ music. Here Rachel Podger kicks off her recital with a transcription for solo violin, starting a journey around Baroque Europe featuring the exuberant sounds of Nicola Matteis Jr, Johann Joseph Vilsmayr, Johann Paul von Westhoff and Guiseppe Tartini. The inspiration of Bach comes full circle in Chad Kelly’s new work Phantasia: ‘The spectre of Bach as organist looms large’, before Bach’s evocative Suite No 6.
The first woman to be awarded the prestigious Royal Academy of Music/Kohn Foundation Bach Prize in October 2015, plus Gramophone Artist of the Year in 2018, Podger brings distinctive verve to her performances along with superlative interpretative insights. ‘There is probably no more inspirational musician working today’ writes Gramophone.
