Alina Ibragimova is heard this season not only with her duo partner Cédric Tiberghien and as a member of the Chiaroscuro Quartet—she also makes her Pierre Boulez Saal solo debut. The Russian violinist performs works from three centuries, ranging from Telemann’s Fantasia No. 7—part of a collection of 12 that form a comprehensive compendium of Baroque violin music—to Bartók’s 1944 Sonata, which Yehudi Menuhin called “one of the masterpieces of all time.” Virtuoso works by Paganini, Ysaÿe, and Biber complete the program.

Approximate running time: 1h 30m with one intermission
