Russian-born Alina Ibragimova gives the second of her two Late Night recitals of solo Bach.

Her natural tendency towards a historically informed style of playing these works was formed while she was a teenager at the Yehudi Menuhin School.

Her teachers at the time called for more vibrato, bigger gestures. “I wanted something more direct,” she recalls, “less about me”.
