‘Music will be my life’, knew violinist Arabella Steinbacher at the age of four. ‘I played Bach with my father at the piano. I saw my reflection on the shiny black wing, heard the beautiful music and wanted only one thing: that it would never stop.’ It never did. For many years top soloist Arabella Steinbacher has been sharing her joy for music with a public of millions. Guest conductor Michael Sanderling conducts works by two Czech grand masters. Vibrant folklore, fresh and rugged like the landscape of their homeland. At the heart of this concert programme is Max Bruch's much-loved Violin Concerto. "I prefer to play it with my eyes closed," Arabella said, "then I get into a flow with the musicians, the conductor and the audience. Like we are all one.’
