      Cheers, Edgey

      Did you watch the video of excerpts from the masterclasses as well? Brilliant - these kids, looking very grown-up in the performance videos, get really "kiddy" with excitement as they choose their baroque instruments, and discover what they can do for the Music with them.

      In connection with the recordings of Bach’s Violin Sonatas and Partitas, the Netherlands Bach Society has organised a talent development project for the viol...

          Partita in b minor for solo Violin, BWV 1002

          Shunske Sato performing in Haarlem's Light Factory (the old Gas & Electricity factory works - like Tate Modern, now used for concerts and performances):



          ... and, for youTubers:

          Variations are placed explicitly in the foreground in Partita no. 1, performed here by Shunske Sato for All of Bach. It is the only partita in which each dan...

              Sonata for Solo Violin in a minor, BWV 1003

              Looks like we're getting the entire solo Violin works as a "cycle" (or "traversal") from Shunske Sato. No problem as far as I'm concerned:



              ... and, for 'Tubers:

              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...

                I can't wait (well I will have to) to see what Shunske Sato does with the fugue from the 3rd Sonata BWV1005, as it seems to expose the grip and technique and emotionality and ego of the player more than any other. In my view it combines the happiness of the fugue in the first sonata, with the struggle of the fugue in this one (2nd sonata), in a paradox which only the best violinists can navigate convincingly, and Sato is one of the best.

                    Your wait will be over tomorrow.
                    I've already had the e mail but haven't listened to the performance yet.
                    I'll leave it to ferney to post the links on Friday if that's ok

                      (Don't know why they waited a week to publish this ... but so worth waiting for. New videos seem to be appearing on Thursdays now - but I think keeping the pleasures until Friday on the Forum is a marvellous way of starting the weekend,)

                        Gob smacking performance - Japanese passion in spades - quite different to Arthur Grumiaux or Rachel Podger, but I'm entranced by all three.

                        (And as zola reports you can stream Podger in the first sonata and partita from the Wigmore Hall on Sunday morning).

                                Partita in d minor for solo Violin, BWV1004

                                Concluding Shunske Sato's traversal of the complete works for solo violin - with the ordering nicely arranged so that the great Chaconne concludes the project. Tremendissimo!



                                ... and for youTubers:

                                Shrouded in wistfulness, all the movements of this Partita no. 2, here performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, are in a minor key. Bach’s manuscript origi...


                                ... how do you follow that?!
