The meditative sounds of the violin as they have been heard in temples, mosques, palaces, monasteries and cathedrals of many civilisations.
"A Thousand Years In One Breath" with violinist Rupert Guenther
The sounds of the violin have been heard in the temples, mosques, palaces, monasteries and cathedrals of many civilisations, way before music was ever written down or concert halls existed. "A Thousand Years in One Breath" weaves the sounds from many world cultures, particularly parts of the East and Asia, in the way of the troubadours and minstrels over thousands of years all the way here to us, to echo their fascinating stories.
Violinist Rupert Guenthers imaginative playing and diversity of style deeply captures a spirit of place through his music. Trained as a concert violinist in Vienna, Austria, his deep love of all things of nature and the cosmos has fueled his musical passions since a young age. His versatility has seen him work as sideman to the stars with many artists and orchestras including the Vienna Chamber Opera, the Australian Pops Orchestra, Beatles producer Sir George Martin, Olivia-Newton John, Demis Roussos, John Farnham and Hollywood singer-songwriter Lisbeth Scott.
