The chaconne from the partita #2 is for me specifically about all that misery and conflict in the world. Personally, I would hear it in my mind when I was flying away from someone that I loved.

Mr Kristof Barati is a giant artist with excellent technic and nuance. i really felt the music in my heart. It seemed to me that Bach was playing the violin. Besides, The recording in studio was so pure, clean and net. Thanks for uploading. I wish you health and much more success.

[@ohnree4110]

@@msdsecretary8702 neat, maybe

[@erikwhitesides]

his approach to chords is unique.... he applies enough weight to grab 3 strings at once which creates a more percussive sound, but his violin does not scratch. in most interpretations, the chords are rolled slightly slower to avoid the scratch that often results from being too aggressive.

[@grisgriz85]

For Bach I actually like this, slightly rustic, not too refined, but without harshness.

[@kavyathyagarajan7359]

@@grisgriz85 Yeah, I love his way of approaching the music.

[@NoMoreMrNiceGuyNYC]

It helps that he's playing a 1703 strad. He wouldn't be able to get away with it on a lesser instrument.

Now i understand why some chords in the very rhythmical sections are disturbingly slow

Having listened to so many interpretations of these work besides playing myself, I can say that this rendition can be easily said to be one of the best among the great artists so far.

[@tomaxi007]

Excellent interpretation and wonderful intonation with a very good feeling. His instrument is also awesome. It’s sounds so clean and full and golden. It is such a fine thing to hear him because he can be compared with the golden age of great violinists like Menuhin, Milstein, Heifetz, Grumiaux, Szeryng, Francescatti, Oistrach, Stern and others.

Bach is the foundation of all music styles that followed his time; stemming from his outcoming to the classical, romantic, modern, and contemporary jazz. Everybody that loves music should linger on Bach. Mind you, once you go under this wonderful composer you will never be out of his grip. His solo violin partitas will glue to your taste and will never leave you. The present post of Bach's violin partitas for solo violin, as interpreted by Kristóf Baráti, renders a most transparent Bach, untinted by unduly affectate performance. Thanks a lot for this post!

Today, violinists are two a penny, don't you ever believe it, if you learn to play one scale, that does not make you a virtuoso, I actually have a English heritage, in Nottingham 1967 I was naturalised, nationalised, and who knows whatised, one of my daughter, than five years old, wanted to learn ballet, but had not the personal pursuit which ballet deminded, so, she decided to learn to play the Violin, since she now hadsome Hungarian blood in her, I thought, that was the next best thing. However, by now sge cost me some money in tutorial, she and me agreed upon me bying the best tutorial, which I have purchased for her. Six month past, and I asked; A...., how your study goes, she said; I finished the book, I thought, all three years, she insisted with a yes, but she could not play a scale, not even in C major! Than I realised that the mastery of any instrument, take discipline, and this you have to dish it out to your self, and next to this; practice, practice, and more practice, till the day you die! Oh, I have falen into my own trap of self expectation, I, with the Piano, I was 18-years of age that time, believing that in two years I will be a concert pianist, alas, I learned that dedication is not enough, you need the blessing of talent from above, today, at 82-years of age, I am happy to listen to others performances, rather than that of my own! Oh, I am not complaining, I have made a first class engineer, even today, I can make wonders to come true on a Lathe! Metal work, of cause!

Thanks Brilliant Classics for uploading this nice rendering of the sonatas and partitas. The Hungarian violinist Kristóf Baráti, whom I did not know, gives a convincing, emotional, attractive version of this classic work. His violin playing is warm, assured and musical. Being a Hungarian, he shares the deeply emotional and singing soul of this noble people. He is still young (41) and has had a notable career in Hungary.
