Bach: Sonatas and Partitas

The violin sonatas and partitas BWV1001-1006 are among the most demanding works in any violinist's repertoire. These works are part of the cultural heritage of humanity, and their musical and emotional depth remains unsurpassed. The famous Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor, among other works, has become world-famous and represents for many violinists the ultimate pinnacle of music for their instrument. Like many virtuosos who approach this repertoire, Christian Tetzlaff, who was recently awarded the prestigious ECHO Klassik award for Best Instrumentalist (Violin), reserved the right to choose the time to record this special repertoire himself. Tetzlaff is indeed at the absolute zenith of his career, which he also demonstrates in this recording. Dance-like, cantabile, deeply felt, and almost effortless, Bach's wonderful solo sonatas and partitas sound in this highly impressive recording in terms of sound quality, which also sounds completely natural acoustically, from the Bremen concert hall. A major album that establishes Christian Tetzlaff as one of the undoubtedly greatest violinists of our century.
