[@meijong6453]

How can we ever know Bach. What I notice is that Sato sees and hears the music before it comes out of the violin, and that the playing comes from his whole body. This incredible musical composition is being brought to life in a way that I am awestruck on all levels.

[@win.violin]

i wonder how bach would feel if he could watch these violinist giants, the best violinists of each era, perform live of all of his compositions.

[@fil_britbunnyboi872]

Best rendition of the Partita I've ever heard 😭

[@zeyadhegazy101]

First things first, Sato's performance is marvelous. Plus the recording quality is perfect !!

[@thomasmaze9156]

I love the sound of his violin ! He makes it so danceable, sublime performance.

[@mrsenstitz]

Seriously, this is the best I have 3ver heard this played. Such passion from an ancient instrument.

[@julienfowler8274]

All of his recordings of the partitas are so so perfect, he is on another level.

[@bboy6ify]

He makes it look so easy, I know he spent A LOT of time with these pieces. Bravo Shunske Sato 👏👏👏

[@juancarloscorrales9892]

I'm obsessed with this guy! The way that he understands the contrpoint is outstanding, something I never had imagined in this pieces. Is like if I was hearing them for the first time.

[@nickyork8901]

Hearing it for the first time is also what I experienced from this...the individual notes become almost irrelevant because the harmonic structure and phrases are so clearly laid out. It reminded me of hearing the Chaconne for the first time when each section is properly and individually characterised by a great player.

[@BoulderMamacita]

Yo, también!!! Un génio.

I was even somewhat reluctant before clicking on the link for the very same reason. Agree with every word you wrote.

[@DrLuke-ci8bo]

I find his playing is generally superb, but his rubato and unsteady beat are distracting and mar an otherwise fantastic performance -- my taste ♫♪

[@klop4228]

I love almost all of them, but I can't say I find his 2nd sonata too enjoyable myself. Excellently performed, but diverges too much from the way I see the music! However, I have to admit that, while I normally don't love the prelude of this partita, Mr. Sato has made it unquestionably enjoyable for me.

Grande musica e grande violinista. Dubito che dal vivo il suono risulti così pieno. Comunque splendida esecuzione

[@infledermaus]

When I watch violinists of his immense talent, I so wish I would have learned to play the violin. Sadly, my parents put little stock in music. Despite their lack of concern, I did learn the harmonica (by ear only), take guitar and then piano lessons, ultimately teaching myself to play the mandolin. I'm too frikkin old now. My stiff arthritic neck, weists and hands would never cope with the strains. So, you know, ahhh shit!

[@Admiralmeriweather]

that's hard. I will say, as someone younger and more nimble, that I still can't play for crap. But I love to play. So there's that.

[@lawrence18uk]

So much baroque music on violin is played in 1st position, it gives that special bright sound to the instrument. Yet this 3rd Partita has to be played right up on the fingerboard. What caused this shift in composition? Was there a special violin with a longer fingerboard developed? (tho I suppose it doesn't go beyond an octave above the open string, same as for the high E, but it's high up on A and D strings which is highly unusual) - are there other pieces which use the same techniques? Was Bach inspired by a violin virtuoso?

[@julienfowler8274]

It is a baroque violin, with a baroque bow.The strings are made of gut wich is why it sounds so good, it's the old type of strings that Bach used.

[@jasonbaijens3378]

Whomever is financing NBS is a saint. Sato's interpretation of Bach has the power to heal and rekindle a lost flame, the impenetrable faith of JSB is very much still alive. My existence has been corroded by a gambling relapse; but the more I listen to Bach, the more I know what must be done. There is no evading the truth with music of this metaphysical caliber, your soul becomes reliant upon the primal reckoning brewing within at all times. I have given up on rationalizing the seemingly infinite meaning in Bach's expression, though I know I will die a happy man staying true to the lessons he instills. Thank you NSB.

[@nickyork8901]

He creates a whole new sound world, so beautiful! The lower pitch gives some of the resonance, warmth and depth of a viola, and at other times it sounds like a Hardanger fiddle. Lovely ornamentation in the gavotte and the minuets.

[@umiviolalefut1593]

Well... He is playing on an old brescian violin... I think it's a Maggini... That's the deeper tones you are hearing. The brescian makers were known for that... Sadly the plague wiped out their way of violin making and we are left only with the manner of violin making from Amati in Cremona.

The playing is absolutely impeccable, but the acoustics in this space (old gas factory in Amsterdam) strike me as a bit cold, with its bass-less response. It sounds all bit sharp.

Could be caused by the Violin he uses. Also he plays in a way not too focused on clear tones, but like a rock guitar would be played.

I want to know the specific history of his instrument, When/where was it made. How did it get into his possesion, what is the reason for the short fingerboard. His playing makes the instrument come to life, but it's such a beautiful sound that I have to know more about it!

[@bach]

I would suggest to start with this short documentary: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3aymK2LoKlgf7s The violin was built by Cornelius Kleynman in Amsterdam in ca. 1684. The instrument is not in Sato's possession, but was made available to him.

[@ovidiuimbuzan3967]

That question is difficult to answer. Instead of thinking in terms like easier/more difficult, one could say it's different, as Pieter Affourtit and Shunske Sato explain in this short documentary about the baroque violin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3aymK2LoKlgf7s
