BOXED SET

Hailed as an epic traversal of solo violin repertoire and a monumental achievement (Chicago Tribune), American violinist Jennifer Koh's complete Bach & Beyond recordings, pairing J. S. Bach's violin sonatas and partitas with 20th- and 21st-century works inspired by Bach's groundbreaking masterpieces, are now available in a convenient, economical boxed set offering all three albums for the price of two. Bach & Beyond Part 1 features Koh's alluring performances (The New York Times) of Bach's Partitas Nos. 2 and 3, Eugène Ysaÿe's Sonata No. 2, Kaija Saariaho's Nocturne, and the world-premiere recording of Missy Mazzoli's Dissolve, O My Heart, commissioned for Koh by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Newark Star-Ledger cited the violinist's distinctive voice over a range of styles. Toronto's The Whole Note said of Bach & Beyond Part 2, Koh, as always, is superb, her intelligence and interpretation always matching her outstanding technique in Bach's Sonata No. 1 and Partita No. 1, Bela Bartok's Sonata for Solo Violin Sz. 117, BB 124, and Saariaho's Frises. Koh's Bach & Beyond Part 3 earned BBC Music Magazine's and ClassicsToday. Com's highest ratings for performance and recording quality. The Strad admired Koh's eloquent, artful, yet unadorned playing in Bach's Sonatas Nos. 2 and 3, Luciano Berio's Sequenza VIII, and the world-premiere recording of John Harbison's For Violin Alone, written for Koh. AllMusic said, Koh's series is highly recommended to those in search of an experience that will reward repeated hearings. Audiophile Audition called it a remarkable three-disc effort, recommended to all with a good degree of urgency.
