A must have I think, if you want something outside the dusty canon and like composers like Phillip Glass :

Suggestions for Solo Violin Recordings
2I am listening to the Nathan Milstein J.S. Bach Sonaten & Partiten 3 LP box set (Deutsche Grammophon) and came to the realization that I need to broaden my classical music horizons with recordings similar to this. Solo Violin. Can be on vinyl or redbook CD. Must be high quality recording.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

So many choices, even if you just stuck with the Bach Partitas! Here are some good (albeit pricey) options https://www.discogs.com/Johanna-Martzy-Jean-Antonietti-WDR-Studio-Recordings/release/12131804 https://www.discogs.com/Johanna-Martzy-Radio-Recordings/release/9966202 https://www.discogs.com/Ida-Haendel-BACH-Sonatas-Partitas-For-Solo-Violi/release/10092204 Among more recent recordings I like Lara St John and anything by Patricia Kopatchinskaja |
And one other I've really enjoyed recently -- Barotsz Woroch's survey of some recent solo violin repertoire (with accompaniment on some of the pieces) -- challenging but worth your time and a test of how resolving your system is https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/09/bartosz-woroch-dancer-on-a-tightrope-cd-review-compell... |
