A determined departure from the "sleek" approach adopted by Perlman et al. Urgent but commited playing for those who prefer this music to sound strident and dramatic.

This recording offers to the listener a violin playing in the old fashion manner (no-chin contact with the violin, non or minimum vibrato, etc). Some strident Giovanni Grancino Viloin.
Kuijken is one of the best performers in slow movements, with total respect to the partiture,technically and spiritualy. In this recording the listener hears J.S. Bach and not a solist as the disgusting Gideon Kremer's playing of the sonatas and partitas. I recommend this recording very highly to thoselisteners to want to hear Bach in the music and not a egocentric solist.

For anyone that agrees with Pinchas Zuckerman in saying that authentic performance artists are idiot historians who have taken a few music lessons, I say for them to listen to this recording of the Bach Sonatas. |
