Downloaded (from her website) Alina Ibragimova's 2006 performance of the Bach second partita for solo violin (BWV 1004). Seriously good. To begin with, the performance can sound a bit sedate and studied. But on a second listening, you find that Ibragimova is very much playing the music as she feels it. Her playing here is neither classical nor romantic; it's her view of the music and I like it very much indeed.
Ibragimova is turning out to be excellent; I admired her off-air performance of the Shostakovich first violin concerto very much indeed (and still do). What a plethora of interesting young violinists there is at the moment!
