Augustin Hadelich plays Bach’s Violin Partita No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1006: III. Gavotte en Rondeau

“Recording Bach’s complete Six Sonatas and Partitas has long been a dream of mine ... All his music is suffused with emotion and exudes a life-affirming joy.“ Discover Augustin Hadelich’s recordings of these landmark violin works: On how he adopted certain historically informed approaches for this recording, Augustin explains, “It was a revelation for me to play these works with a baroque bow ... It becomes easier to produce buoyant, light articulation, and harder to produce a loud, sustained sound. It felt liberating to play Bach with a baroque bow: I found I could strike the strings with more energy, but without having to worry that the sound might become too rough or expressionistic. Passages of three- and four-note chords felt more fluid. The dance movements danced more and the slow movements sang more.“ Director: Tristan Cook Cinematographer: Zac James Nicholson Camera Operator: Jonah Zorn Koplin __________ Warner Classi
