Biography
Rebecca Raimondi
‘The driving force in these works was the italian violinist Rebecca Raimondi, who also completely won over the audience as the soloist in Johann Georg Pisendel's Violin Concerto: she appears as a mature personality in whom sovereign skill, meticulous work on the musical text, emotionality and musicality come together to form a natural whole.
We will hopefully be hearing a lot more from this violinist[...]’.
