A conversation with Solenne Païdassi

I’m still coming down from the summer– Schoenberg, Shostakovich, “The Jury,” everything and everyone who turned up for concerts, rehearsals, readings. I also miss my guys: Solenne, Danbi, Clancy, and Elaine. As consolation, I got to speak with Solenne in a wide ranging conversation last week. She is a dear friend and it was great to hear some of the background that went into forging this wonderful artist.

She also has a terrific new recording of the complete Bach sonatas and Partitas for solo violin.

Piazzolla’s favorite dish was fettucine served with a sauce that was a specialty of his mother’s made from garlic, olive oil, tomato, and red-wine.

I call every member of my family until somebody picks up and entertains me, and when they get bored, I call the next person.
