Music reviews of Bach: Sonatas & Partitas

Music Review: Christian Tetzlaff - the fondness of immersing into the Great Music
Rating: 5 Stars

The solo violin Partitas and Sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach are a truly cornerstone of the repertory and act as a veritable shibboleth for great violinists. Only a very few are called to tackle them, and even less dispose of the required mastery to convey in a proper manner the deep truths that "the modest cantor of Tomaskirche" encoded in these magnificent scores. It is not sufficient to prove technical skills or keen musical sense on the performer side, otherwise sine qua non conditions. A profound humility in front of this music's greatness, a heartfelt empathy and a genuine joy of "touching" such wonderful harmonies must imbue his/her approach as well. It is about a very subtle blend of meekness at facing a marvel and proud awareness for the privilege of "conversing" with a Titan.

Christian Tetzlaff - definitely, one of the great violinists of our age - exhibits all the needed qualities and knows how to make us feel his fondness of immersing into this musical treasure, instantly rising in us the same fondness. He freshly offers a mind-blowing rendition with simplicity and directness, taking an inward look at the very essence of this truly Great Music in order to outwardly reflect it as a sheer light or a pigeon's soaring or a nostalgic recollection. A version moving to tears that will remain - I am sure, for a long time - as a benchmark in Bach interpretation. Some will luxuriate in his crystal-clear intonation, others in the appropriate gusto that shapes certain fast movements, and others in the solemnity in which slow phrases are conceived, aiming at the religious transcendence and meditation. Beyond all these, one can see here also a deep bow, a humble reverence in front of the greatest master of the contrapuntal style and the belief in music's everlasting beauty.

Truly recommended!
