Info zu J.H. Roman: Assaggi for solo violin

Der Vater der schwedischen Musik und der schwedische Händel‘ sind zwei Bezeichnungen für Johan Helmich Roman (1694-1758), einen der bedeutendsten Komponisten Schwedens. Roman komponierte etwa zwanzig Assaggi - Assaggio wurde mit „Probe“, „Aufsatz“, „Studie“ oder „Experiment“ übersetzt - und sie reichen von mehrsätzigen Werken bis zu einzelnen Sätzen, wobei einige nur als Fragmente erhalten sind. Sie sind wunderschön für die Violine geschrieben und offenbaren eine verblüffende musikalische Fantasie bei der Arbeit. Die kanadisch-amerikanische Barockviolinistin Alison Luthmers, die zunehmend als Leiterin und Solistin von Ensembles für Alte Musik in ganz Europa gefragt ist, konzertiert mit Concerto Copenhagen, Camerata Øresund, Höör Barock, Göteborg Baroque, Eslövs Kammarorkester und Nivalis Barokk.

She has recorded for Rubicon, Da Capo, Channel Classics, Berlin Classics, Ramée, Naxos and ECM.

Alison Luthmers is a founding member of the Bellevue String Quartet, Scandinavia’s only full-time period instrument quartet, which engages audiences through their unique, conceptual programs and intimate concert environment. A passion for creative programming also led to BookJam, where as artistic director Luthmers has organized a series of informal chamber music concerts at a bookstore in Malmö, Sweden.

As a two-time recipient of a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, Alison Luthmers studied the connection between folk music, early music and dance in Scandinavia. She studied modern violin with Robert Lipsett at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, and Baroque violin with Peter Spissky and Arek Goliński in Copenhagen.
