This recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin (the title Discovering Bach is not terribly useful) was preceded by a performance history lasting several years after American violinist Michelle Ross received a fellowship enabling her to work toward the recording. Ross performed the works in non-traditional venues including bakeries, boardwalks, and ferries. She is not unique in employing such venues, but her idea is novel: she has avoided bars and public transit stations where there is noise. She also blogged about this concert tour. Ross' reading of these well-explored works reflects that background to a degree: she is a strong player who is unafraid to grab the audience's attention. Her playing also draws on that of her teacher Itzhak Perlman; it's in a big, Romantic vein that's refreshing in Bach because it's not heard so often lately. The "Gavotte" from the Partita in E major, BWV 1006, is typical: lively, free in tempo, and seemingly spontaneous. Sample the mighty "Chaconne" (Ciaccona) in the Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004, to see whether Ross' style may be a bit heated for you, but it's unlikely that you'll find it boring. The album was recorded not in a bakery, but at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York, a fine chamber venue, and Albany's production team captures the immediacy of Ross' playing. Recommended for those who like Bach violin playing in the classic style.
