Bach Partitas 1-3

EMI单声道版是两版米尔斯坦的完整的巴赫无伴奏小提琴塔之一。这版比较优雅，却更有咖啡般苦涩而悠长的回味。 Great violinists have always been drawn to the partitas and sonatas of Johann Sebastian Bach, many of them recording the works several times in their careers. Jascha Heifitz, Yehudi Menuhin, and Nathan Milstein have all essayed the Bach partitas throughout their illustrious careers. It's no wonder this music attracts musicians; it's filled with deep emotion, technical brilliance and boundless invention. Bach composed the works in 1720 at the age of 35, when he had assimilated the energetic Italian style of Vivaldi and the elegant French dance forms of Couperin. The partitas represent the pinnacle of solo music for the instrument. This recording by Milstein was produced from sessions that took place in the 1950s. Milstein's Bach is not for early-music purists or those who prefer an analytical approach to the music. Milstein plays with passion and stunning virtuosity. His double stopping in the "Preludio" to the Partita No. 3 is glorious and a high point of the disc. Milstein was very much the poet, and the profundity he brings to the famous "Chaconne" in the Partita No. 2 is legendary. This is essential listening.
