- Ranni exclusive on Bach series is a first-class PPZ production event. We recorded series in a Trinity Church Ljubljana, Slovenia in the spectacular baroque set with vibrant Orchestra matutina, led by her father Matej Šarc, a recognized oboist and director of Slovenian Philharmonics. Icelandic-Slovenian violinist, Rannveig Marta Sarc, is increasingly recognized as a versatile and dynamic musician. She enjoys an active performing career as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher, and has performed throughout Asia, North America and Europe. She has appeared as a soloist with orchestras such as the Iceland Symphony, Slovenian Philharmonic and Iceland Youth Symphony. As a chamber musician, she has appeared at festivals in Ravinia, Taos, Kneisel Hall, Aspen and Thy. She has received numerous awards, including the Nerenberg Award from The Musicians Club of Women, the American Scandinavian Society Cultural Grant and the Rotary Club Scholarship, to name a few. Rannveig holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School, where she was a proud recipient of the Kovner Fellowship. Her teachers include Catherine Cho, Laurie Smukler and Donald Weilerstein, as well as Robert Mealy on baroque violin.

The Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041, is a violin concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. While it is "generally thought to have been composed at Köthen in 1717-23". Christoph Wolff has argued that the work may have been written in Leipzig during Bach's time as director of the Collegium Musicum.
The piece has three movements:
1. Allegro moderato, in A minor The opening movement is in ritornello form. This means that there is a main section that comes back in fragments in both the solo violin and orchestral parts. This 'ritornello' can be found in the first movement up until bar 24. The motifs of the theme appear in changing combinations and are separated and intensified throughout the movement.
2. Andante, in C major, common time meter;
In the Andante second movement, Bach uses an insistent pattern in the ostinato bass part that is repeated constantly in the movement. He focuses the variation in the harmonic relations. Butt notes that "Bach seems to have associated" the ostinato scheme "particularly with violin concertos.".
3. Allegro assai, in A minor,
In the final movement Bach relies on bariolage figures to generate striking acoustic effects. The meter and rhythm are those of a gigue. Butt describes it as "perhaps Bach's most animated and carefree movement in the minor mode."

For those like myself who especially appreciate the wonderful sounds this instrument can produce when played by a skillful musician, as well as for those who just love chamber music as it should be played, this has been a remarkable performance...One more gift I feel I should thank you for, among many others you have given us over the years...Thank you, and best wishes from this violin music lover in Athens, Greece.
I wish I were in Greece!!!! I would be enjoying GOOD FOOD, instead of beans and rice in Costa Rica!!!!🎉
Sting is listening every day to J. S. Bach. He means, that all his Music is perfect and for him the inspiration for his songs.
Hermosa interpretación, solista y ensamble en perfecta coordinación y expresividad . Me hicieron gozar de verdad. BRAVO!!!!!!! Muchas felicidades❤
Woderful. Thank you for this present.
Aaaah ... violin ... what a beautiful and emotional instrument❤
An absolutely stunning performance by Ranni and this superb Matutina chamber orchestra, Primož! And I second everything that our friend Terry has written.
This has long been one of my favorites of Mister Bach's violin concertos. He simply Always got it right. And Ranni, I believe, was born to perform his works on this beautiful instrument. The beauty of tone that she gets from her instrument is just amazing. She is, in my opinion, a Slovenian National treasure, as is Ernestina... whether or not they have been officially "bestowed" with that title. 💖
And in this chamber orchestra, I am always delighted to see and hear Anja on the cello. 😌 Also, what an absolutely perfect location for these concerts, the beautiful Trinity Church Ljubljana.
And I hope that you will continue to direct, produce, edit, and share these lovely concerts with all of us. Every time I listen to one of them it brightens the whole day, as it has right now.
Hugs from here, my friend. 🌈🌴💖
Johann would have been very pleased. Good to see Jakob playing a part in the production. I am sure that he was happier helping with this production than filling the dishwasher. I still feel bad that I could not play chess when we visited.
I believe that Mister Bach would have eyes filled with tears of joy, my friend. Ranni is amazing.
I owe you a long letter and photos, obviously. It has not been laziness. I've missed our back-and-forths.
Con 🌈💖
What a treat! Fantastic performance, and overall production quality. Thank you!
It is a joy to both watch her play and listen.
Takšne krasne video! Posnetek, barva, zvok in seveda izvedba! Vedno najvišja kakovost!
Perfect! Sublime❤
Thank you very very very much
Se o violino não existisse, a música seria bela da mesma forma, mas com este instrumento, ela torna-se exuberantemente bela!!!
Beautiful ❤️🙏🇨🇦
Música celestial, bálsamo para mi espíritu. 👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely superb!
Magnifique
Zevnikov, this is fabulous! A mixture of Icelandic and Slovenian expression of Bach 's great music!
Listening and watching the videos you publish, I get the feeling there is something brewing in Slovenia and other Eastern European countries, something new which might inspire stifled Western Europe to some sorely needed rejuvenation.
I look forward to seeing what comes............
We are here. Thank your for your nice words.
Zevnikov, thank you. But please note I really meant what I said. Those were not only "nice words".
Maravilhoso!
Impeccable performance
