about

New Letters To Esterhazy Sonata 2 is my 12th album of my own original improvisations. It was commissioned and recorded by ABC Classic FM in 2007, and is my contemporary depiction of new pathways and ideals for humanity, articulated through rich and imaginative tones of my solo violin. On this CD we are hearing Sonata 2, set in 6 improvisations or movements. Each improvisation/movement of the sonatas depict letters written from myself here in 21st century Australia, sent back in time to musician-composer Joseph Haydn in the 18th century Austro-Hungarian court of Esterhazy. They are full of inspirations for humanity, sunlight, and hope, yet tenderly handle moments of despair, winter darkness and delicate new growth with great compassion. Another Rupert Guenther original inspired improvisation, all in one take, no overdubs!
