Description:

It has been 30 years since the critically acclaimed "Unaccompanied" was released in 1989 and won the "Record Academy Award" that year. Teiko Maebashi has continued to captivate audiences with her new unaccompanied works, which she will finally present to the world in 2019, the first year of the 20th century, adding even more elegance and maturity. In recent years, Maebashi has given recitals throughout Japan featuring familiar programs of mainly small pieces, which have been well received by the public, and she has also been showing a new frontier in chamber music, and the results of her concert of Bach's "Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin," which she has been working on with great enthusiasm in recent years, are now available as a disc. The result is a disc of the complete works of Bach's "Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin". It is a dense, uncanny, yet divinely intense, little more than two hours, backed up by polished technique and overwhelming experience. This is the arrival of a set that will probably be a major talking point in the classical music scene in 2019. (C)RS
