5.0 out of 5 stars
Rare Bach, January 9, 2000
This review is from: Sonatas for Viola Bastarda (Audio CD)
I'm very sad to see this album out of print. It would be a great loss to posterity if this album is not made available again.
The material on this album is unique, unusual, and rare. I highly recommend it to Bach fans. If you can't buy it new, it's worth trying to find it used.
Sarkozy's interpretations are very intriguing. They capture the spirit of the Baroque era wherein performers were allowed (by the scores) to insert embellishments to make the music their own.
My favorite: BWV 997 Prélude. This is the best interpretation of this piece I've ever found anywhere. Amazing! Awesome!
The sound of the Lute-Harpsichord is so unique; the choice of instruments (lute, lute-harpsichord, viola bastarda) brings out subtle differences in hues that are quite pleasing and interesting.
Surely Bach would be very happy with the works on this CD.
