Muted Magic

Playing the violin with the mute is a style of its own – not just a filter on the sound, but a different way of approaching the instrument altogether. The brilliance softens, the overtones tame, and what remains is something quieter, more intimate, almost confessional. Musicians interact with the changed sound and adapt their phrasing, dynamics, and expressive language accordingly. Synchron Solo Violin 1 (sordino) captures this distinct playing style in extraordinary detail, performed by Marina Dimitrova, concertmaster of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra, in the large hall of Vienna Synchron Stage.

The Spirit of the Wildwoods

Synchron Solo Violin 1 (sordino) features the same exceptional artist behind the “senza sordino” collection: Marina Dimitrova, concertmaster of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra. Hailing from Bulgaria, she studied in Sofia, London and Vienna and has performed with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna, and the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, as well as at festivals such as Salzburg and Wien Modern. With the mute in place, her playing takes on a different quality altogether – more restrained, more inward, yet no less expressive. Every shading of the bow becomes audible, every breath of phrasing essential.
