ACO Shorts: Meet the Musicians

2m 55s
In this performance, ACO Principal Violin Satu Vänskä questions what happens when you combine one of Paganini’s most fiendish caprices with a character created by a Russian dramatist.
Satu’s quirky, isolation-fuelled interpretation of Paganini’s virtuosic Caprice for Violin No. 5, filmed in 2020, was inspired in part by the Finnish Maid in Gogol’s short story ‘Diary of a Madman’.
