Bach (1685-1750)

Description:

This album is the first volume of a trilogy of works for unaccompanied violin by Bach and Ysaye, and includes Bach's "Solo Violin Sonata No. 1" and the famous "Chaconne" from his masterpiece, "Solo Violin Partita No. 2. This album, the first volume of a trilogy, includes Bach's "Sonata No. 1 for Solo Violin" and the famous "Partita No. 2 for Solo Violin," which includes the famous "Chaconne" from Bach's masterpiece. From Ysaye's works, the "Sonata for Solo Violin Sonata No. 1," which shows strong influence from Bach, and the "Sonata for Solo Violin Sonata No. 2," which impressively quotes Bach's Partita No. 3 (in Volume 2) and "The Day of Wrath" are included. Bach's works are relatively well known. But what about Ysaÿe's sonatas? Ysaye is always treated as a virtuoso, but he should be taken seriously as a composer." "In these works, there is always something new to discover, which I decide to emphasize or not at the moment of performance.How should the chords be broken, which notes should be emphasized, how fast should they be played?" As she states in the booklet, her attempt to combine the works of Bach and Ysaye was her own idea. Her approach to deciphering the connection between Bach and Ysaye and conveying the essence of each work to the listener distinguishes her performances from those that are too self-assertive. It is said that Ysaye began composing for solo violin in 1923 after hearing Joseph Szigeti play Bach, and each of the six sonatas she completed was dedicated to a different violinist. The first sonata dedicated to Szigeti is in the key of G minor, with a prelude-like grave in the first movement, a fugue in the second, and a technical finale with many heavy notes in the fourth movement, and was undoubtedly composed with Bach's First Sonata in mind. The second sonata, dedicated to Thibaud, bears the titles "Delirium, Melancholy, Dance of Shadows, and Vengeful Goddesses" for each movement, and the first movement is thought to represent a delusion about Bach.The "Day of Wrath" is used as a circular theme, and there is a reference to Bach's Partita No. 3, but Weithaas dares not to use No. 3, but to combine it with Partita No. 2, which she believes has a deeper connection.
