Violin playing
is a physical art with great traditions behind
it. At its best, it conveys the qualities of
beauty, strength and mystique. It can evoke
emotions, create moods and stimulate human reaction.
Of
course, in the minds of some people, the music
which I play on this album would hardly categorise
me as a traditionalist practising an old art
form ! I have been asked if this is a 'pop'
album or whether it is a statement about what
constitutes new style classical music. I don't
believe that there is an answer or even the
need for such a question. Playing goof music
on the violin has a very high 'feel good' factor.
I first felt this when I was 8 and I am lucky
never to have lost the feeling.
So
what I like, I will want to play. I have no
wish to compartmentalise music. To me, music
with its beauty, strength and mystique is for
enjoying and for playing. This is the way of
the violin player.
I
have had fun stretching myself and both my violins
working on this album, and I hope that you will
listen and enjoy.
