The violinist Midori has been a celebrated performer for more than 35 years. This recording with the Festival Strings Lucerne marks the composer’s 250th birthday in December 2020. Discover: https://w.lnk.to/mbrLY
The album was made in early March 2020 and was planned around a concert performance at the KKL, Lucerne’s impressive Culture and Congress Centre, and subsequent concerts in the UK, Singapore, China and Korea – but the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation or postponement of all the public events. “Through all of that, Beethoven guided my colleagues and me," says Midori, "his work focusing and inspiring us, our concentrations heightened, enveloped together in our musical efforts ... Beethoven has provided a fortunate focus for me in such fraught times. I am reminded that he was a man of strong beliefs and a morality to which he fully committed, as an activist who took firm stands on many major issues of his day. At the same time he maintained the discipline that allowed him to create profoundly beautiful, often serene music, despite his many personal disappointments and struggles.
“Beethoven's determination still provides a model for humankind, leading us to recognize the best in our world as we reach toward the many achievements of which we are all potentially capable. Finding my place, as a musician, interpreting several of Beethoven’s masterpieces, grounds and inspires me today, as we all face so many challenges ahead.” #Beethoven2020

When Midori eventually retires, I do hope her fiddle gains a well-earned resting period. If ever there was a hard-worked instrument, the 1734 'ex-Gibson' is it: continuous use at top level by Huberman, then Ricci, and then Midori - almost a century of continuous top-level use. Let's just hope the instrument gets a few years respite when Midori finishes her career. When Heifetz died, he actually stipulated in his Will that the 1742 'ex David' should have some years recovery period before being played at top level again: exactly what the 'Gibson' deserves.
