Music is One - Mandolin darling Chris Seeley's astonishing fusion of "musician's soul" and "respect for Bach"! Complete with the first sequel release in 12 years! Two 140g analog LP records in a limited-quantity production release! The Punch Brothers are highly acclaimed not only in the bluegrass world, but also in the alternative country and rock worlds, with a lineup of highly skilled members. Chris Seeley (mandolin), a core member of the Punch Brothers, performs J.S. Bach's "Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin" on the flat mandolin! For violinists, J.S. Bach's "Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin" is an important repertoire and a lifelong challenge. Various violinists have drawn endless joy from this "Old Testament" of violin music. The flat mandolin that Chris plays was developed by Orville Henry Gibson (1856-1918), founder of the Gibson Company, after the classical mandolin came to America. The perfect plucking of the strings with a pick, similar to that of the guitar, requires a high level of skill, and songs with fast passages are extremely difficult to play. Chris Seeley's perfect fingering technique gives the piece a delicate lute-like sound, including a distinctive high-pitched tone, and gives the piece a new appeal. Twelve years after the recording of Vol. 1, Chris Seelye has recorded three previously unrecorded pieces from "Bach's Violin Sonatas and Partitas. This time around, Seeley takes a different, more personal approach to the works of this great master. He has adopted a free interpretation that is not bound by the score, and has recorded at some of his most memorable and unconventional locations, including Reservoir Studios and Tompkins Square Park in New York City, Murray State University in Kentucky, and Blackberry Farm in Tennessee.Instead of worrying about whether Bach would like it, as he had done with his previous work, Seeley first tried to give a performance that would satisfy himself, trusting in his own musical sensibilities and attempting to find and convey his unique interpretation of these masterpieces that are well known to everyone. And he succeeded. Chris Seeley, who has played with musicians such as Bela Fleck and Brad Meldor in both his Punch Brothers and solo albums, has incorporated bluegrass, rock, jazz, and classical music, and with this new recording, he is again opening up new musical horizons that transcend genres. Chris Seeley, who has worked with musicians such as Bela Fleck and Brad Meldreau, is once again breaking new musical ground by transcending genres!
