Bach: Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato Volume 2

This recording is the second volume devoted to Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin, performed by H�l�ne Schmitt (the first volume was released at the end of August 2005). It is one of the rare versions played on a Baroque violin (gut strings, curved bow...). These are archetypal works for solo violin, combining spirituality and virtuosity. Taking up a difficult challenge, Bach succeeds most admirably in obtaining polyphony from a monodic instrument.
