Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Since she branched out from the various groups with which she has been associated (most notably the Palladian Ensemble and Florilegium), Rachel Podger has been making quite a stir with highly acclaimed solo recordings of the Bach Partitas and Sonatas. Here she's joined by the ever-youthful Trevor Pinnock in the complete sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord. And complete they most certainly are, with the various alternative versions of the Sixth Sonata all included. If you've grown up with traditional readings of these works, you may find Podger initially seems a bit withdrawn and light of touch. Keep listening though, because within a couple of movements or so, I suspect you'll be hearing these works with new ears. They are intensely "pure" readings, vibrato applied as an expressive device rather than daubed all over Bach's graceful architecture. Nor is there any lack of perk in these performances--try the joyful second movement of the Fourth Sonata (disc 2, track 6) or Pinnock's solo movement in the Sixth Sonata (disc 1, track 3). There are countless more wonders to be found, but listing them would only spoil the surprises that await. The only disappointment is yet another staid and dreary cover design from Channel Classics: precisely the kind of thing that gets classical music a dull name. Full marks to Podger and Pinnock, but sack the designer. --Harriet Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Bach, 19 Jun 2006
By Sid Nuncius "Sid Nuncius" (London England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
These are wonderful discs. Bach's sonatas for violin and cembalo are delightful, rewarding works, but can be hard to get into, in my experience. Previously I have had recordings by Elizabeth Wallfisch and Richard Tunnicliffe and by Fabio Biondi and Rinaldo Alessandrini - both world class duos, and fine performances in their way. However, I always had a sense with both of somehow working ones way rather ploddingly through the sonatas (most certainly not what I'd expect from Biondi!) and they had a slightly turgid, uninvolving feel to them.

Podger and Pinnock dispel this instantly. Rachel Podger's wonderful lightness of touch doesn't trivialise the music in any way but, as with her solo Bach, brings a sparkle and verve which light up the whole disc. And Trevor Pinnock plays with the enthusiasm and energy of a young tyro while bringing the depth of his decades of experience to bear. The combination is irresistible. Any Bach enthusiast will want these sonatas in their collection, and this is the finest recording I've come across by some distance. It is also very reasonably priced. In my view, you can't go wrong with these discs - very warmly recommended indeed.
