CLASSICAL NEWS
NEW RELEASE: Isaac Stern -- In Celebration and Tribute
A lasting tribute and celebration of a tremendous life, featuring
never-before-seen photos, previously unreleased material,
including Bach Partita No. 1 for solo violin -- Stern's only
recording of the Bach Suites for solo violin. This album is a
must-have for both Isaac Stern and consummate classical music
listeners.

"Isaac Stern was a musical giant and a great person who
gave the world some of the most fantastic beauty. If the
definition of a genius is that of someone who can positively
transform people's lives, then I know for sure that he was a
genius, because he certainly had an impact not only on my
own life, but also on the lives of many others."
-- Yefim Bronfman

Classic FM Magazine Reviews Bach: 6 Violin Sonatas
Giuliano Carmignola (Violin), Andrea Marcon (Harpsichord)
"Thank goodness we are re-entering a period in which
performers seek to draw out the dance-like quality of
Bach's music, rather than approaching it as an intellectual
challenge. Both Carmignola and Marcon have artistic flare
aplenty, and when they pool their talents, as they do here,
sparks really fly. In the Six Sonatas for violin and harpsichord,
Bach frees the latter instrument from its dreary continuo role,
letting it compete with the violin. This makes for some intricate
interplay where the melody passes back and forth from one
instument to the other. Fabulous!"
--John Brunning, Classic FM Magazine, July 2002
