I like the passion in your playing, Mr. Slapin. The technique is exquisite, but I'm more interested in simply listening and allowing the music to work on inner healing while I work on other matters at the computer. The violin is a favorite instrument of mine, and I briefly took lessons in junior high school about 60 years ago. Horrid teacher, so I let it drop. That experience stayed with me, a yearning to hear someone play who is in love with the instrument. Thank you so much for your gift. 🤫🎻🎶🙏🏻🧓🏻
Oh how much sweeter can it get...and for such, at least it would seem so...an underused instrument, particularly in chamber music, as elsewhere...and just how impressed would Bach himself might be...THANK YOU!!!...THANK YOU!!!...THANK YOU!!!!....
The G minor Fuge! Thank you for taking it a quicker tempo as it brings out things you don't normally hear as far as harmonies when it is played a fifth higher!
These are absolutely fantastic recordings. I have a book that features most of the entire works (sonatas and partitas) and I found that playing Bach's solo violin work on viola works out to be both magnificently beautiful and satisfying to the soul. I aspire to be able to play like this and to have both the musical and technical ability to interpret Bach as you do. Bravo!
What an absolutely mesmerizing recording of the Bach solo sonata and partita! I was completely hypnotized by the interpretation and articulation. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible performance!
The warm sound of viola gives an intimate character to these sonatas.
It sounds even more better on the viola.
