• “To hear Mullova play Bach is, simply, one of the greatest things you can experience”, wrote the London Guardian. ONYX now proudly announces Viktoria Mullova’s first COMPLETE recording of the Bach Sonatas & Partitas.
• For Philips in the early 90s Viktoria recorded the 3 Partitas on a modern violin but has never recorded the Sonatas, and in the meantime her interpretations have been transformed by her studies in Baroque practice and her subsequent performances with masters such as Gardiner, Dantone, Harnoncourt, Antonini and il Giardino Armonico.
• Viktoria Mullova records again on her Guadagnini violin of 1750, using gut strings a Baroque bow and technique, as she always does in pre-romantic music.
• 5th release on ONYX in a truly flowering relationship, previous releases including Bach Sonatas with Dantone (ONYX4020) and Vivaldi Concertos with Giardino Armonico (ONYX4001)
