So I have some more violin music for you tonight! I don't believe I have posted any Bach at all, and so I need to change that.
Have you ever been around a person or event that has such "good vibrations" (to quote the Beach Boys) that you can't help but catch onto them and become absorbed in that energy? That's how this prelude makes me feel mostly. There is no doubt of the boundless energy that this music possesses; the perpetual sixteenth notes and joyful energy push it forward without a single glance back to past events.
However, the part I really enjoy about this piece of music is that it does not only embody sheer happiness, but also finesse and refinement. Like a person who is undiscriminating to whom they share their jollity with but is also elegant and mentally aware in social and academic standings.
Nathan Milstein was an accomplished violinist of the twentieth century and learned all of the Bach 6 sonatas and partitas for violin solo when he was still in his teens. Milstein was most known for his performances and interpretations of these works. So please indulge with me in this beautifully refined, yet vivacious interpretation of Bach's preludio in E Major.
Partita No. 3 in E
I. Preludio
Brilliant! But then when isn't Bach - that wasn't a question by the way. Must say prefer Milstein's 'cleaner' rendition to Vanessa Mae's.
ReplyDeleteHello, I was searching for music played on violin and I got your blog's link. I will listen it and give my views (though I don't understand ABC of music, :) but I can enjoy good piece of music).
ReplyDeleteI recently heard Itzhak Perlman. He's is fabulous!
