Music for Violin Alone - Aisha Orazbayeva's fourth solo album was recorded in a makeshift studio in an empty house in Le Poujol sur Orb (France) during the first two weeks of the French lockdown. Recorded both as a response to all loss of work due to COVID-19 and a way to be heard again. The pieces on the album are the pieces Aisha came to discover and learn during the two years of maternity leave. Two years of maternity leave have also been two years of creative silence, a search for new approaches, repertoire and ways of playing.

"Aisha Orazbayeva, a brilliant London-based Kazakh violinist, performs contemporary works with expressive assurance and deploys avant-garde techniques that elicit a jolting freshness from the early-music canon" Steve Smith The New Yorker

"As taut and tender playing works by Bach as it is deft and wild playing John Cage, Aisha Orazbayeva's violin is a sweet revelation on music from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries." Bobby Barry The Quietus
