2025 marks my 40th anniversary of playing the violin and I’m celebrating in a big way! Throughout this year I’m releasing live video recordings of all six solo violin works by Bach, recorded in six different locations in the Netherlands. The most recent release was on November 16, of the Partita No. 3 in E Major.
View the previous three releases here:
Behold, the first page of the manuscript of some of the most famous and beloved works ever written for solo violin: the 6 Sonatas and Partitas by Johann Sebastian Bach. These are pieces I have been living with virtually on a daily basis for the past 30 years. They never cease to amaze me in their beauty, and in the endless layers of complexity to discover.
Even when I make studio recordings, it’s my goal to use the longest takes possible, to best simulate live playing. Nothing can replace the thrill of a live concert; the feeling of spontaneity, the collaboration between the performing artist and its listeners, all sharing the same space and time yet each forming their own relationship with the music. My wish is to best capture that energy on camera, so that viewers across the world can have the same experience as those listening in person.
