  • This Sonata for violin and harpsichord no. 1 in B minor, performed here by Bojan Čičić and Steven Devine for All of Bach, is the first in a set of six that Bach probably wrote during his years in Köthen. The slow opening section immediately shows Bach’s ambitions for the whole set. He reveals himself at his most expressive, and there is also room for virtuosity and complexity. For instance, after the melancholic introduction by the harpsichord, the violin enters in a lament with a long motionless note and proceeds to descend in a resigned garland of notes. A little later, the violin even becomes two-part, creating a five-part interaction between the two instruments. It is precisely this combination of expressiveness, virtuosity and compositional mastery that explains why these sonatas have not fallen into oblivion.

    Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Sonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der genialen Violine und zurückgehaltenem doch schimmerndem Klang des ebenso genialen Cembalos. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist wahrhaft ergreifend. Alles ist wunderbar!

    • @randomoneforstuff3696
      @randomoneforstuff3696 Год назад +4

      I mean, he is the most technically skilled Baroque violinist in the world. He went to Juilliard and Curtis. You can hear that Čičić is a tiny bit out of tune on some of the double stops--nothing out of the ordinary that kills the performance or anything; it's still exceptional. But, the near-perfect intonation of someone who attended the most elite music schools in the world really shows in Sato's performances. Just look at any solo violin piece that requires significant technical ability, like Bach's 3-part fugue in G minor, compare it to any other Baroque violinist (even the likes of Rachel Podger), and you'll find that nobody comes close to Sato's mixing of exceptional technique with Baroque interpretation:

    Hot take: sometimes lack of vibrato in baroque interpretations seems almost unnatural. like they're almost trying NOT to vibrate. a stiffness. but here... i didnt feel that stiffness at all.
    an interpretation isn't interesting because it's "accurate". it matters so much more that they are real, alive, honest. and this performance feels that way

      Most important is that our agreements with the musicians impose restrictions on this. Apart from these legal agreements we also want to keep our recordings ‘intact’, i.e. image and sound are not separated, especially since most of our videos are live recordings (and not studio recordings). Finally, we also want to maintain that our recordings are always viewed via our own channel, and not via other channels.
