 Gidon Kremer - Johann Sebastian Bach: The Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Gidon Kremer's latest double CD recording of Bach's solo violin music, also for ECM, sticks to performing them as written, with no guest musicians or refashioning of the music, but it is an intense and ardent journey nevertheless.
The fugue in Sonata No. 3 in C Major is equally impressive; Kremer attacks the piece's numerous multi-stop chordal passages with abandon; he also has a knack for subtly varying the tone of each discrete line in the texture to reflect a different character.
Listening to Kremer and Poppen perform Partita No. 2 on their respective ECM recordings is an instructive example of the aforementioned resiliency of Bach's music.
