Chris Thile - Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol.2

 

Chris Thile — Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 2 2LP

For his second recording of Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas, 12 years after the first volume, Chris Thile opted for a more personal approach to the revered master composer's works.

This time, he allowed himself to take liberties with the scores, which he recorded in multiple, somewhat untraditional, locations of personal significance: Reservoir Studios and Tompkins Square Park in New York City; Farrell Recital Hall at Murray State University in Murray, KY; and Blackberry Farm in Walland, TN.

Also out today is a video of Thile performing Sonata No. 3 in C major, BWV 1005: III. Largo, live at Yallarhammer Pavilion on Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. You can watch the video, directed by Matthew Edginton, above.
