Viktoria Mullova in Violin Recital

Throughout the varied career of the charismatic violinist, Bach has remained a constant. Here she combines his music for solo violin with similar pieces, including examples by Dai Fujikura, Sir George Benjamin, and her son, as well as Prokofiev’s major sonata (1947).

Moscow-born Viktoria Mullova’s extraordinary talent captured International attention when she won the 1980 Sibelius Competition in Helsinki and the Gold Medal at 1982 Tchaikovsky Competition which was followed in 1983 by her dramatic and much publicised defection to the West.
