About
Ukrainian violinist Iryna Gintova performs Telemanns 12 Fantasias for solo violin, one of the pinnacles of the Baroque repertoire for the instrument. Telemanns 12 Fantasias embrace an array of European styles fashionable at the time, including Italianate concerto\-style movements inspired by Corelli, contrasted with pieces in the French style. Telemann was an able, self\-taught violinist and relished showcasing the instruments varied colours and techniques in these works, including multiple stopping, implied counterpoint, improvisatory lines, and tussles between traditional Baroque intricacy with newer, lighter and more forward\-looking virtuoso melodies. Iryna Gintova performs these wide\-ranging works with the nuance and fluidity for which she is increasingly known in performances that have taken her to major venues, competitions and festivals around the world.

Awards and reviews
October 2021
Gintova plays a contemporarily strung violin at today’s concert pitch enlivening the music with expressive warmth and stylistic propriety...Certainly, she reaches the heart of the music with unaffected grace, while at the same time making sharply defined contrasts between playful dance rhythms and stricter Baroque disciplines.
Jan/Feb 2022
I think this is Gintova’s debut recording and, as such, it is most impressive. She holds the listener’s attention without inflating the music or allowing her ego to take control of it. Her playing often smiles, but it is clear that she takes the music seriously.

Her playing is fabulously committed, teeming with intention and clarity of attack. Take the concluding Allegro from the Fantasia No 4 in D: Gintova’s playing glows with positivity, so much so that one feels healthier just from listening to her.
