Bach 2-disc set Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin disc 1 ① Sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001 ② Partita No. 1 in B minor, BWV 1002 ③ Sonata No. 2 in A minor, BWV 1003 disc 2 ④ Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004 ⑤ Sonata No. 3 in C major, BWV 1005 ⑥ Partita No. 3 in E major, BWV 1006 Nathan Milstein (violin) Recorded: 1973 Milstein sings the melodies vibrantly with a sharp, beautiful tone. With his meticulous, careful, and beautiful tone, and his dedication to Bach, you will be enveloped in a storm of emotion. Milstein was born in 1904, the same year as Horowitz. This Bach recording is his second (the first was EMI mono). Milstein never visited Japan, so his popularity in Japan was not very high, but this performance is a masterpiece. Although he was 69 years old at the time of the performance, there is no sign of a decline in his technique, and many people consider his performance superior to the recordings of Szeryng and Kremer in terms of sharpness and beautiful tone. His performance on the Stradivarius is meticulous, careful, and beautiful, and the recording is excellent with rich bass. It also moves us again with the depth of Bach. This album won a Grammy Award in 1975. It is a pleasure to surrender to Nathan Milstein's Bach. Milstein's Bach is truly rich in bass. His attitude, which prefers live performances, is the opposite of Glenn Gould's. Milstein disliked repeating takes many times to select the best one for editing. He said it would interrupt the continuity of the music. However, this performance is a studio recording. Even with a recording style he disliked, he left behind such a wonderful recording. His technique of "emphasizing the bass and making it stand out as if it were independent, thereby highlighting the middle voices" is clear in this performance. I would recommend this CD even to those who don't listen to Bach very often. Anyone who loves music will love it. Because you can enjoy the rhythm of Bach, which is alive and seems to be breathing.
