Johann Sebastian Bach – Violin Sonatas (1685-1750) BWV 1014-1021 – Viktoria Mullova – Octavio Dantone

NOVOS LINKS!!!

Este CD foi um de meus campeôes de download, deve ter ultrapassado a barreira dos 1000 cada um deles. Foi postado nos bons tempos do Rapidshare, tempos em que eu tinha conta premium e tudo o mais. Mas está aí o cd duplo, agora com links renovados.

Já que o mano PQP me deu autorização, trago então as famosas e tão comentadas gravações de Viktoria Mullova e Octavio Dantone para as Sonatas para Violino e Cravo de papai. Tiro este peso das costas, depois de ter sido acusado de agir sorrateiramente e na calada da noite quando postei as Sonatas para Violino Solo na semana passada, com a mesma Mullova.
Mas, como diz o outro, resolvemos os problemas de família entre a própria família, portanto,já nos entendemos.
Sem mais, vamos ao que interessa.
Eis o que o mais tradicional jornal inglês escreveu a respeito destas gravações:

THE TIMES – Geoff Brown 29 June 2007 ****

The Ice Queen was the old journalistic tag for Viktoria Mullova. But it’s better buried: the Russian-born violinist, now in her late forties, inflects her playing, as she inflects her career, with obvious emotional intensity.
She made her recording name in the late 1980s, playing the big concertos for Philips Classics. But then the men in suits got number-crunching. Result: the end of her contract and, in 2005, the start of a new life, with greater freedom, at the new label Onyx Classics, dedicated to giving artists as much control as they desire.
With Mullova, this means playing with gut strings on her precious 1750 Guadagnini. Her passion for period instruments is well known, but this new release of Bach sonatas for violin and harpsichord (BWV 1014-19) takes her deeper into Baroque repertory than before. The recording’s quite close: you can’t escape from the edge in her tone, especially in slow movements. Yet this Onyx two-disc set with the fiery Ottavio Dantone (mostly on harpsichord) equally celebrates Mullova’s gentler side. The fourth sonata’s opening largo purrs with restrained lyricism while the fifth’s largo, gravely beautiful, sounds the depths. There’s not a dull note anywhere.
Bach being Bach, Mullova’s old knack for clinical excellence isn’t wasted. Both players need extreme manual dexterity. Yet the counterpoint in these sonatas crackles with fire, and the relationship between violin and keyboard (are they colleagues or rivals, master or slave?) changes as often as the instrumental colours.
The kaleidoscope dazzles the most in the two additional sonatas for violin and continuo. In the first of them, BWV 529, Mullova sits back happily in a richly textured ensemble sound characterised by the extreme rhythmic thrust of lute and viola da gamba and the bright treble piping of Dantone’s positive organ. No one could listen to this and still harbour the cliche of Bach’s counterpoint being dry, the stitching of a sewing machine.

E sobre Mullova, o jornal americano Chicago Tribune escreveu que “[Viktoria] Mullova may be the most elegant,refined and sweetly expressive violinist on the planet.”
The Chicago Tribune, August 2005
