JS Bach Solo Sonatas & Partitas

Reseña del editor Considered by many as the pinnacle of musical achievement, J.S. Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin are arguably the composer's most demanding and emotionally penetrating works. After living with, reading about, listening to and playing these seminal works for over 30 years Gil Shaham steps up to offers a new perspective on these works, undertaken in 2014 as part of his Artist-in-Residence with Symphonie Orchester des Bayerischer Rundfunk. These works have been part of Shaham's concert programs for over ten years and for this recording decided on a 'more Baroque set-up' opting for a Baroque bridge, Baroque bow and 3 of 4 strings being gut. The deluxe package comes complete with Shaham's insightful views on these works in discussion with former Strad Magazine editor Ariane Todes. "The high moment was Shaham alone, in the Bach D minor Partita: his warmth, honeyed tone, and beautiful sense of line were balanced with intelligent articulation, and the Chaconne radiated an uplifting, cathartic humanity." Críticas "A set of performances that not only do justice to Bach's pedagogical intentions for the violinist but also cultivates the sort of "active listening practices" through which the rest of us can appreciate just how inventive Bach was in creating these six compositions." --Stephen Smoliar, Examiner, March 2015CD of the Week"Shaham opts for a more Baroque set-up with its distinctive timbre and lighter bow strokes, which wouldn't matter much if the musical approach wasn't so thoughtful, but it is. Shaham likes the way Bach's dance music swings with the slightly faster tempos...Musically I have been finding a lot to enjoy and admire in these performances."--Andrew McGregor, BBC Radio, March 21, 2015"...Shaham's playing is so clean, clear and precise, and the thought behind everything he plays so unassailable, that to listen to it is tofeel safe with music...it is impossible to listen to it without having a positive artistic experience."--Gramophone, March 2015"...Violinist Gil Shaham has taken up Baroque-style bow and gut strings, but this is no typical period style. Long years of playing Bach's six great solo works for violin have led Shaham to a personal and free way of playing... there is much detail and nimble, sensitive violin playing on the way." --Richard Fairman, Financial Times, March 14th, 2015Editor's Choice"...exceptional musicality and warm presence combine to give these performances a balanced blend of intellectual clarity and emotional depth that is vital to music that depends so much on the interpretation. The sound of the recordings is close-up and clear in a moderately resonant space, so every detail can be heard without sacrificing any of the glowing tone of the Stradivarius Countess Polignac."--All Music, April 9, 2015"Shaham's playing sparkles with vitality and and astonishes with its technical brilliance...this is a rewarding achievement of which the C major Sonata is its dazzling high point...vibrato is thoughtfully applied."--BBC Music Magazine, May 2015"...the relationship among the movements is so clear, the relative pacing of them so well done, that Shaham quickly becomes convincing in these interpretations and sweeps listeners into a world in which the dances really do sound dancelike while the serious slow movements, fugues and the Ciaccona of Partita No. 2 all come across as weighty and very carefully considered...This is a truly lovely and highly engaging recording that captures listeners with sonic beauty and keeps them with its skilled and thoughtful interpretative insights."--Infodad, April 16, 2015"A wonderful and very distinctive traversal of some of the greatest of all Bach music." --Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News, April 12, 2015
