Description
Like other concert pieces by Holliger (Siebengesang, Turm-Musik), the Violin Concerto is music on a biography: The Swiss painter Louis Soutter (1871-1942), who had also studied the violin with Eugène Ysaÿe, lived in a mental institution for almost twenty years; there he painted nearly all of his four thousand pictures. When his sight began to fail, he resorted to painting with his fingers. By means of stylistic allusions in the music, Heinz Holliger portrays
the life of this painter, from his first picture in 1904 to his death in 1942.
