by Johann Sebastian Bach / Arthur Grumiaux

Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin cover art

Reissued as a definitive CD collection, Arthur Grumiaux's masterful recordings of Bach's solo violin works highlight incredibly virtuosic acoustic performance. The album strips away all accompaniment to focus purely on the complex, highly technical, and deeply melancholic melodic structures of Baroque composition.
