Celebrated Baroque violinist Pavlo Beznosiuk gives a seemingly effortless performance of one of the most technically and intellectually challenging works in the solo violin repertory.

Drawing on his wealth of knowledge and virtuosic prowess Beznosiuk gives an intimate and thoughtful reading full of passion and vitality that is highly attuned to Bach's intentions.

The sonatas and partitas show off every aspect of violin technique; Beznosiuk delivers a masterclass in making the impossible sound, not only possible, but also musically compelling.

Beznosiuk's performance of the famous Chaconne in D minor, widely regarded as one of Bach's greatest contributions, is a highlight.

Performing on a period violin with authentic gut stringing, Beznosiuk has succeeded in creating a modern benchmark recording of this compositional masterpiece.

Originally released in 2011, J.S. Bach: Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin has been re-issued as part of Linn's ECHO series; a second chance to enjoy the best of the label's award-winning catalogue.

"This playing seems beyond reproach, with faultless intonation and bow control, all of which ensures that Beznosiuk's sharply defined voicing of each fugal reference, especially when amidst multiple-stopped chording later on, is always convincingly managed."
(International Record Review)

"Articulation, accentuation and phrasing grow naturally out of the music, without any need to impose an interpretative view...Beznosiuk's 17th-century Flemish violin sounds mellow, with a distinctive "stringy" character. His meditative approach is especially persuasive and enthralling in the slower movements."
(Gramophone)

"Beznosiuk's authentic Baroque violin, made in Antwerp around 1676, has a straight, dry tone, unflattering in one sense, truthful in another. His mastery of it is total...His double-stopping lacks any sign of effort, even in the Sonata's four part fugues - a tune on every string!"
