PRODUCT DETAILS
For his second recording of Bach Violin Sonatas and
Partitas, twelve years after the first volume, the
award-winning mandolinist, Chris Thile (Punch
Brothers, Nickel Creek) opted for a different, more
personal approach to the revered master
composer’s works. This time, he allowed himself to
take liberties with the scores, which he recorded in
multiple, somewhat untraditional, locations of
personal significance: Reservoir Studios and
Tompkins Square Park in New York; Farrell Recital
Hall at Murray State University in Murray, KY; and
Blackberry Farm in Walland, TN. Rather than
worrying about whether Bach would like his record,
as he had for Vol. 1, Thile ensured that he liked it
himself, believing in the validity of his own personal
likes and dislikes, and seeking to find and convey
something unique in his interpretations of the well-
known pieces. In this and more, he succeeded:
Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 2 sounds very
much like Chris Thile.
