Violins, pianos and dancing (baroque)

Emma Pauncefort of CRD Records sits down with British-born violinist Maya Magub in Santa Monica, California to explore the violin’s ability to interpret historical dance forms as featured on Maya’s forthcoming album ‘The Violin Dances – Baroque’.

Recorded at the illustrious Menuhin Hall in Cobham, Surrey, England, this album is the result of an intricate process that saw Maya select, curate and arrange dance pieces, many of which lay hidden for decades in Maya's father's collections.

We underline the significance of rhythm and tempo in ‘dance music’, as we see in the violin's bowing techniques, and we spotlight the expressive freedom in ornamentation and spontaneous interpretation that Maya and Matthew delighted in when recording.

Finally, we add a note on the extraordinary acoustics of Menuhin Hall that enhance the performance and help shed light on the emotional and rhythmic intricacies of Baroque dances ranging from the Sarabande to the Sicilienne to the hornpipe.

As we hope our conversation highlights, this is an album celebrating the joy of rediscovering historical dances that can so beautifully – and relevantly! – soundtrack C21st life.
