Bach: Sonatas & Partitas
Augustin Hadelich (violin)
[ Warner Classics / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 9 April 2021
"Recording Bach's complete Six Sonatas and Partitas has long been a dream of mine," says Augustin Hadelich "They are formidable tests of technical ability and stamina, but also of musical imagination and expressive range - they never cease to provide challenges, hope, and joy." For his interpretation, sensitive to historical practice, Hadelich chose to use a baroque bow. "It was a revelation," he says. "It felt liberating … Passages of three- and four-note chords felt more fluid … The dance movements danced more and the slow movements sang more."
"Hadelich, as outlined in his engaging accompanying notes, is keen to avoid portentous gesture in dealing with Bach's fearsome technical demands. Using a Baroque bow, his inward approach results in superb intimacy in the slow movements of the sonatas, notwithstanding the resonant recorded sound." BBC Music Magazine 4/5
