This is big-boned, old-school. romantic Bach. As much as I love the newer, sharper, cleaner takes of players like Podger, there's something uniquely satisfying about the touch of the old guard like Menuhin. The fact that Bach stands up to so many kinds of interpretation is a great testament.

There is pure magic about Bach. He stands alone atop of a wide musical landscape, unique in his simplicity and never ending modernity. His music resonates with me on almost physiological level, it fits my soul like a glove, whether to comfort me in sadness or to brighten my happy days. Forever grateful to Felix Mendelssohn for bringing Bach back to live - now to never disappear into oblivion. And Menuhin is one of the few who matched the score with the skill, emotion and depth. Truly divine union!

completely incomparable. go ahead, listen to 20 other interpretations, some with immaculate performances but sorry, they are most often just playing the notes. Menuhin is a genius of interpretation. These pieces were merely studies in Bach's time, well Bach would be astounded with what Menuhin can do with them. He has transformed them into quite simply lyrical masterpieces with more emotion than a romantic opera. actually anything Menuhin does is gold. Why? It's because he is dripping with humanity. Watch his interviews, his way with people, his basic philosophy of music and it's relationship to mankind. Pick 5 people throughout history who you would choose to have dinner with. He's in that category for me. I first saw him perform solo when I was about 11 and I got to interview with him as a young violinist and receive a 1 minute lesson. Again, indescribable and incomparable master of the instrument.

What an inaccurate statement. This interpretation is an absolute abomination by today's standards - the ridiculous lack of dynamics, the incredible overuse of vibrato, and the way too slow tempos all contribute to one of the most disgusting sounding, nowhere near historically accurate performances of the Sonatas and Partitas. If you want some better performances, go listen to Rachel Podger and Shunske Sato on Baroque violin or Hilary Hahn on a modern violin.

Menuhin made three complete recordings of the Sonatas and Partitas, the first in the mid-thirties when he was about fifteen, the second in the mid-fifties in mono, and this one from the seventies in stereo. All three are wonderful, this last one possibly the best of all, and all are available on CD in various issues from Warner-EMI. It is worthwhile having all three.

Maestro Menuhin appears to interpret the JS Bach violin sonatas at the highest level throughout his life. Fluid, technically sufficient, haunting, passionate, joyful and spiritual. These are of the highest mark and caliber for which you will find a very short list of violinists on. Beautiful! and his double, presto and allegro just shred!

Bach's violin music really reaches so deeply into the soul! I have heard no better violin music than that coming from this great German master. And that statement is made after having taken the likes of Biber (a genius and master of scordatura tuning), Vivaldi, Corelli and many others into consideration.

Menuhin at the height of his powers with the music he handle's best, indeed he makes of Bach on a solo violin something extraordinary, lyrical,complex, dancing, eliding, traversing, haunting to the point one cannot believe this is a single instument

Even music as a museum has its interest. But if music is and must continue to be art, it must above all be alive, and not a museum of styles. This is why it always comes well, playing in your own way, with everyone's sensitivity, commitment and taste. Then Bach, for example, is not only baroque music, the essence, the sublime of Bach is also the fact of being baroque music, and it is well that those who make it understand directly. Probably even Bach would be happy to hear it.
