J Bach S / Bowes - Sei Solo (3 CD)

J Bach S / Bowes - Sei Solo (3 CD)
DESCRIPTION
Thomas Bowes' Sei Solo shines the spotlight on the sonatas and partitas for solo violin composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1720. Bowes believes that these six stand-alone compositions, while each individually offering insight into Bach's genius reveal more when taken as one epic work - and especially when set against the tragedy in Bach's life in the year of composition. The three albums in Bowes' release contain a total of six tracks. Each album starts with a sonata and concludes with a partita, moving through different keys. The sonatas showcase a larger, more abstract expression, while movements in the partitas are more focused on elements of the dance. Bowes views these six compositions as a vehicle for exploration into the existential, taking his cue from Bach's cryptic title 'sei solo', which reads 'you are alone', punning on the Italian for '6' and 'you are'. Though the performer flies solo on all of the tracks, he reaches well beyond the limitations of just one instrument. The focus and attention the violinist brings to all six tracks draws the listener into a meditative state of mind. It's almost as if Bowes is performing solely for each individual listener, providing an intimate experience that demands attention yet allows room for contemplation.
