Description:

Homage To Bach by Brodsky Quartet, released 18 June 2021. This version of Homage To Bach comes as a 1xCD. -

The set of six sonatas and partitas for solo violin is widely regarded as one of the summits of Bach's output as a composer, and of the entire repertoire for the violin. With this new album the Brodsky Quartet give us the opportunity to hear some of this legendary music in an entirely new way, in these world-première recordings of Paul Cassidy's arrangements for string quartet of the three solo sonatas. Writing about this project, Paul notes: 'My daily practice invariably involves spending some time with Bach's 'Six Solos for Violin without Bass Accompaniment' (Sei Solo â Violino senza Basso accompagnato). I am a devout being and these are my bible. As in the case of all 'holy' books, the six 'solos' open themselves to an infinite variety of interpretations, but whatever your approach, these miraculous pieces are endlessly cleansing and enriching for the body and soul, a balm for the spirit. Their challenging pages abound with multi-faceted characters whose succinct purity is a wonder to behold. They can move imperceptibly from being uplifting and euphoric one minute to heart-breaking and tragic the next.'
