Simon Smith- Signs Games & Messages
Renowned British violinist Simon Smith makes his Resonus debut with an extraordinary disc of intensely virtuosic works for unaccompanied violin by two Hungarian composers: the late Sonata for Solo Violin by Belá Bartók, and Signs, Games & Messages by living composer György Kurtág, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday in 2016. The idiomatic and skillful writing for solo violin by both of these composers shows the immense range of this instrument, taking the performer to the edge of what's possible.
