Back to Bach

When violin virtuoso Gidon Kremer bravely took up the greatest challenge for any violinist and decided to make a second recording of Bach’s beautiful Partita’s for solo violin this certainly was a major event. He mounted, in his own words, the ‘Himalayas of violin music’ with succes and the result is a dazzling video recording, now available on MonteVerdi.
