Giuliano Carmignola, the violinist on this recording, is internationally recognized as a leading interpreter of Antonio Vivaldi's music.
Composer's Artistic Vision
J.S. Bach's solo works for violin and cello demonstrate his profound knowledge of string instruments, serving as unique study material for aspiring musicians.
Recording & Production
The recording was made in the Peter Mayr Hall in Longomoso, Italy, a location chosen for its wonderful acoustics and enchanting natural surroundings.
Interpretation
This recording features a new violin arrangement of Bach's Cello Suites by Marco Serino, continuing a tradition of such transcriptions dating back to the 19th century.
Compositional Technique
Bach's solo string works aim to realize the full harmonic and polyphonic richness of his musical language on a single melody instrument with limited capabilities.
Compositional Technique
Bach's unaccompanied string works exemplify the 'art of omission,' where a single melodic line is written so harmoniously that adding another voice would be difficult without error.
Composition History
Bach himself experimented with alternative instrumentations for the Cello Suites, sometimes playing them on the clavichord and adding harmony.
