Laura Andriani 1/2 - Strings in the Dark

On today's episode, part one of two, we are speaking with violinist Laura Andriani about her work with the nineteenth century composer and virtuoso Paganini and her relationship with the physicality of playing. Performing some of the most difficult repertoire ever written for her instrument, Laura tells us about rediscovering the history of her instrumental technique and the importance of letting go.
