Viktoria Mullova Interview

Lucie Skeaping interviews virtuoso violinist Viktoria Mullova about her reinvigorated passion for Bach's solo sonatas and partitas.

Lucie Skeaping talks to celebrated Russian virtuoso violinist Viktoria Mullova about her reinvigorated passion for Bach and partitas and sonatas for solo violin. Mullova explains that her approach to Bach is now very different from the one she took 15 or 20 years before. Her style is much more free and allows the pieces to breathe and rest, instead of being constrained by what has previously been thought of as the Baroque fashion.
