Info for Bach: Violin Concertos

This captivating new Bach release will become a timeless piece of music which can only come from the outstanding combination of Giuliano Carmignola and Concerto Köln.

Though presenting a traditional piece, Carmignola and Concerto Köln bring new and outstanding colours into this often recorded repertoire, and their temperamental performance introduces a sparkling and thrilling interpretation of Bach’s concertos. Carmignola’s fiery and successful “Vivaldi con moto” will be continued with a more subtle and traditional Bach Concerto recording, a Co-Production between Deutsche Grammophon and Deutschlandfunk.

Carmignola is a unique artist and one of today’s most charismatic and captivating violinists, prompting The Strad to say “Timing is everything, and Carmignola has the timing of Sinatra. Rubato, portamento, pauses, tight-rope showmanship.”

“Carmignola is on characteristically ebullient form, bringing sparkling virtuosity to Bach's outer movements while revelling in the poetry of the inner ones...Carmignola's linear control is well-sustained and expressive.” (BBC Music Magazine)
