 |
| With the years I have built up a large
repertoire, which includes both standard works and rarities. I
often compile the concert programs thematically. The
instrument combinations include: violin and piano, violin and
guitar, violin and organ, 2 violins, violin and orchestra and violin solo. In a
typical concert larger works by the great composers will often
be alternated with shorter pieces, exhibiting the charm and
virtuosity of the violin. |
 |
| These pieces were once very popular. During the "Golden Days" of the violin such famous artists as Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, the young Yehudi Menuhin and a host of others included these beauties in their programs. Audiences still love them.
In today’s concerts this lovely part of the repertoire has disappeared in favour for chamber music and sonatas. To perform them again means more to me than just to present some rarities. It is a connection with the old tradition of violin art.
Another important part of my repertory are the sonatas and partitas for soloviolin by Johann Sebastian Bach. These noble works I like to perform as a complete cycle in 3 different
concert events, but of course I also play them separately as part of mixed programs. I prefer to play them in churches, mainly because here they usually receive the good acoustics and the spirited atmosphere, which they
require.

Originally conceived for the music lovers and violin fanciers of his home town, the university town of Tübingen, the concert cycles are designed to provide a deeper insight into certain aspects of music history, by combining concert performances with commentary, sometimes with the aid of a picture show. After a presentation of the historical background of the music, an audience can listen to the music with greater understanding and awareness.
