This is a bit bonkers. Noam Sivan has transcribed Liszt's mighty B minor Piano Sonata for solo violin and it's performed here by Giora Schmidt. The Sonata is one of Liszt most formidable works, one which eschews the flashy virtuosity that Liszt's works can suffer from. This arrangement doesn't really work, but it's a really admirable attempt at reducing a dense score onto an instrument that doesn't really do harmony. It's also very well played here by Schmidt.
