About

Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux explores some of the most technically challenging and virtuoso solo violin repertoire for her stunning debut recording. her programme embraces a mix of the rational and intuitive, of head and heart, in five diverse solo sonatas, each strikingly different in style and substance.

Saluste-Bridoux comments: “This album comprises a collection of violin works that have been at the centre of my musical life for many years. Biber rivals Bartók with his obsessive tendencies. Ysa˙e is included for his often misunderstood elegance, Bacewicz for her devilish energy. And Prokofiev’s Solo Sonata was picked for being an underrated little gem of the solo violin repertoire. Finally, in his Sonata for solo violin, Bartók writes in a musical language that at once pays tribute to J.S. Bach and his own deep affinity for the folk tradition. I am drawn to this world of musical connections: the counterpoint and complex structures of Bach’s solo writing meet the rhythms and sense of movement found in Magyar folk music. It is one of those pieces that lives with you, possesses you.”

Saluste-Bridoux was a prize-winner at the 2021 Young Classical Artists Trust International Auditions, in partnership with Concert Artists Guild (New York). Other recent career highlights include appearances at Wigmore Hall, a BBC Prom with the 12 Ensemble, and a performance of the Franck Piano Quintet at the Gstaadt Festival with Alina Ibragimova, Lawrence Power, Sol Gabetta and Bertrand Chamayou. Charlotte plays a wide variety of repertoire, including rarely heard solo concertos by Panufnik, Vasks and Joachim, the last of which she has performed, alongside Bernstein’s Serenade, with the Concerto Budapest Orchestra conducted by András Keller.
