Violin: Sulki Yu
Hanna Kulenty Still Life with Violin - UK premiere
Paul Patterson Luslawice Variations
Edwin Roxburgh Soliloquy 3
Béla Bartók Sonata for Solo Violin
The remarkable young violinist Sulki Yu is Laureate of the Yehudi
Menuhin International Violin competition (2006) and the Szigeti-Hubay
International Violin competition (2007). She has already performed
throughout the world in venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore
Hall, Barbican, UNESCO Centre in Paris, Carnegie Hall in New York and
the Seoul Arts Centre in Korea. Paul Patterson’s Luslawice Variations
was commissioned by Penderecki for his own home town’s Luslawice
Festival. It is dedicated to the great Polish composer and friend and
former tutor to Patterson. Hanna Kulenty’s Still Life with Violin is a
study of patterns, while Edwin Roxburgh’s Soliloquy 3 is a
tour-de-force, as skilful in its construction as the skill demanded of
the performer. Bartok’s Sonata for Solo Violin is arguably the most
significant work in its genre since Bach.
