Bach - Violin Sonata no. 2 in A minor BWV 1003 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

Details

Description

In this Sonata no. 2, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, Bach makes the unviolinistic violinistic, but also embraces what the violin does best anyway. Even the Fugue and the Andante sound completely natural here, despite their polyphony that is so difficult to play well. The Andante, in which the violinist accompanies himself with continually repeated notes below the melody, is a marvel of apparent straightforwardness. And the spirited Allegro with its echo effects sometimes appears almost ironic in intent, and is cut out for the violin.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on 22nd June 2019 at the Lichtfabriek, Haarlem. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
