Query: Absolutely Marvelous

"A Customer" is either tone deaf or has water for blood. It's not surprising that when Hanssler Classics chose a recording of the sonatas & partitas for solo violin for their complete Bach collection, they chose, from all the available performances, Sitkovetsky's. In its review of these recordings back in 1985 on the Orfeo label, the highly respected Fanfare magazine recommended buying the CDs rather than the LPs, because the purchaser was definitely going to be playing these sonatas and partitas repeatedly. With exquisite tone and technique, Sitkovetsky allows this wonderful music to speak for itself; he adds nothing to Bach and takes nothing away. While I own and enjoy performances by Milstein, Perlman, Hahn, and others, I usually listen to Sitkovetsky.
