Sei Solo - J S Bach: The Sonatas and Partitas For Violin Solo

Thomas Zehetmair, one of the great violinists of our time, returns after almost four decades to the summit of the violin repertory, the solo Sonatas and Partitas (BWV 1001-1006) of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Zehetmair uses period instruments and techniques playing the music with vividness and intelligence to produce a recording that is deeply steeped in the music and at the same time powerfully original. The album was recorded at Propstei St. Gerold in the Austrian Alps and is issued as a double CD with a 36-page booklet featuring German liner notes by Thomas Zehetmair and Peter Gülkein with an English translation by Paul Griffiths.
