Mandolin Virtuoso Performs Bach on Double LP!

For his second recording of Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas, 12 years after the first volume, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile opted for a more personal approach to the revered master composer's works. This time, he allowed himself to take liberties with the scores, which he recorded in multiple, somewhat untraditional, locations of personal significance: Reservoir Studios and Tompkins Square Park in New York City; Farrell Recital Hall at Murray State University in Murray, KY; and Blackberry Farm in Walland, TN.

"My mentor, Edgar Meyer, has shown me ... you practice Bach ... because it makes your life better," Thile says. "Because it makes the world around you seem like a better, happier place. Because communing with something that beautiful, made by a human being, continuing to be made and enjoyed by so many human beings, makes you proud to be human ... I love practicing Bach, and I wanted to try and share how that ongoing process feels and sounds to me."

The double LP includes Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004; Sonata No. 3 in C major, BWV 1005; and Partita No. 3 in E major, BWV 1006.
