'....altogether superlative. You'd do well to seek this one out!' International Record Review

'[Pavlo's] take on the Bach solo violin music was always going to be worth hearing...' Early Music Review

'A fine set, beautifully recorded.' BBC Music Magazine

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 J. S. 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.
