The incomparable Cho Liang Lin brings one of Barber’s most romantic works warmly to life. Written three years after his famous Adagio for strings, it amply demonstrates Barber’s lyrical gifts.

Wagner’s masterpiece Tristan and Isolde appears in a fascinating new guise in de Vlieger’s arrangement. In seven linked excerpts, the Dutch composer has stripped away the opera’s inessentials to focus on the doomed lovers’ hearts and minds, with the great second act duet as its core.

If I have one regret in my life - it would be that I never learned to play the violin!!! To me it is the most superior instrument and listening to good violin music sends me into an emotional high - like every fibre of my being is being touched.

It depends on the music but the violin is so versatile. The range of emotions is huge but I must say a good violin player can make me feel as if my heart is going to be split in two - the sheer power and resonance of the instrument is quite amazing

When listening to the violin playing I feel as my soul fly high, high into the sky. It brings me eternal joy.

It just depends so much on the music as to what emotions come to the surface. The strings resonate with the soul to enhance what ever emotion you are feeling.

Ohhh I 'm not good. With certain pieces I get excited and Awestruck and with others I get reflective and feel a state of bliss, any music I hear I usually want to be a part of it, guess that's why I became a musician - not a good one, but the thrill of the music is phenominal.

To be honest it makes me cringe, I am rather a pleb when it comes to culture. On the other hand, my wife studied music. To her orchestral music is divine. To see the smile it brings to her face, sometimes even tears to her eyes. It would be worth it just to see her enjoyment!!

Certain types of violin performing are romantic but in general they are uplifting and energising emotionally.

Watching a wonderful violinist is all-encompassing. Makes me forget about a hard day with the kids, the dishes and the bills.

The violin is almost like beautiful singing, so when I hear it I feel like my soul is souring with the melody.

A great violinist takes us through many strings of journey - my favourite being the feeling of excitement and heightened emotions that came with certain anticipation of what is yet to come.. as the music builds and builds to a climax.

Melodious violin music makes me tingle all over and soar to heaven where the sensory effect is of the gone-on-before maestros jamming with angels.

The violin can pluck at the heart strings like no other instrument whether it be romance or tradgey - whether it's shivers down the spine or tears in your eyes the violen has the power to move people.

Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D. 35 leaves me breathless with its beauty. Just fantastic, and this from someone who also loves rock music.
