Jordan Hunt - The Three Visions for Solo Violin
Director Jordan Hunt
Choreographer & Editor Christopher Thomas
Featuring Jordan Hunt & Christopher Thomas
Commissioned by Sadler's Wells as an accompaniment to choreographer Christopher Thomas's contemporary dance work of the same name, The Three Visions for Solo Violin premiered at Sadler's Wells in 2019 and was recorded at The Menuhin Hall.
In harmony with the dance's narrative, this ten-track EP delves into the internal landscape of a female protagonist teetering on the precipice of a life-altering decision. Amidst her struggle she encounters three visions: her absent mother, her youthful self, and the child she will never bear, culminating in a final furore.
With a nod to Bach, Pärt, Mendelssohn and Ligeti, the ever-changing textures of The Three Visions for Solo Violin unfold like a multi-movement Baroque solo partita, encompassing nine exquisitely poignant and frenetically colourful variations of the opening mournful Prologue within its 18-minute duration. Through Hope, Loss and Fury, the variations weave an inherent tension throughout, propelling us towards its climactic Reckoning, and ultimately leaving a prevailing sense of resignation in the final framing Epilogue.
