Music reviews of Bach: The Six Sonatas & Partitas for Violin Solo [Hybrid SACD]

Music Review: Lara St. John INSPIRING Bach!
Rating: 5 Stars

Although I regularly review my personal favourite violinists Julia Fischer's and Hilary Hahn's latest recordings (which I adore so much!), I must say that I am so impressed by and happy about the great musicality - besides all technical abilities these Bach works for Solo Violin bear - LARA ST. JOHN manages to express in this her latest recording. So I decided to write a review about her very great CD as well!

As a "collector" of Bach works for Solo Violin (and Goldberg Variations) I try to get as many recordings of Bach for Solo Violin (and of his Goldberg Variations) as I can get - so I lukily came to this one as well as to LARA ST. JOHN'S very first Bach recording for Solo Violin, and I find it truly even more expressive and more mature than her first recording of the same pieces (which I really like and recommend as well). This recording has therefore now become one of my few personal favourite recordings of Bach for Solo Violin. Very well-done LARA ST. JOHN!

In short, this recording bears everything in it: LARA ST. JOHN expresses with much intenlligence a deep warmth, intensity and power and reaches a superb level of musicality which makes this recording examplary for other violinists. Her phrasings are shaped with liveliness and much spirit and bring out a great level of inspiration and imagination.

Besides, I also really love the CD cover and booklet; this is really artistically designed (unlike so many other classical CD covers and booklets). For example, the dress she wears on the cover matches the colours of the letters of "Violin Solo" and her name (orange), which "connects" the main parts of this CD programme to a unit, and in the inside of the CD cover there is a red background and LARA wears a red dress - how matching! And one CD is coloured orange, the other one red. So, this CD is, as I think, a perfect example of how to produce a superb CD (cover/booklet) design! (Deutsche Grammophone and Pentatone - this is how it's done!) So, congratulations to the designer(s) of it!

In conclusion, it is a great experience and pleasure and a great delight listing to these two CDs of wonderful recordings of Bach's works for Solo Violin! Five stars for LARA ST. JOHN, actually even more stars..., same for the designer(s) of the CD cover and booklet!
