It’s dizzying to think of everything Bach created for violin; be that solo (Six Sonatas & Partitas), in duo (sonatas with Harpsichord) or in concert (two concertos for violin, and another for two violins). In some fifteen masterworks, Johann Sebastian Bach expressed the quintessence of his powerful, invigorating and redeeming art form. Under the direction of Jörg Halubek, this unusual, condensed programme by Il Gusto Barocco keeps the work alive.
Interspersed between the six parts of the Cello Suite No.3 (with Jonathan Pesek) are four concertos: two for a single solo instrument, and two for two solo instruments. Jörg Halubek immerses himself in the Concerto BWV 1054 (an adaptation of the Violin Concerto No.2), and is then joined by Alexander Gergelyfi in Concerto in C minor BWV 1060. Next, the wonderful Leila Schayegh offers mesmorising versions of Concerto in A minor BWV 1041 and Concerto for two violins BWV 1043.
Halubek and Gergelyfi provide incredible performances, both in terms of their originality and their rhythmic rigour. Few musicians have ever proposed an instrumental exchange as playful and vivacious as the one put forward here in Largo ovvero Adagio from BWV 1060. It’s simply joyful. Each musician within Il Gusto Barocco brings enthusiasm to the finale (Allegro). The hypnotic polyphonies, rich and full textures, and sharp rhythms are a whirlwind of emotions, as are the final bars of every concerto included in this recording. Leila Schayegh is without a doubt the star of the album. With Il Gusto Barocco, she emanates an irresitable energy from the moment she arrives on BWV 1041. Free, bright and never static: it’s a joy to behold. A recording that exudes balance and serenity. Highly recommended. © Pierre-Yves Lascar/Qobuz
