Description:

Saskia Letiecq is a violinist who performs as a soloist primarily in Europe. Her repertoire is wide-ranging, spanning from J.S. Bachfeatured on this albumto sonatas by Faur, Franck, Saint-Sans, and Ravel, as well as works by Bartk and even Haydns piano trio. The Bach sonatas and partitas for solo violin included on this album are masterpieces that demand both technical skill and artistic sensibility from the violinist; Retiek delivers a superb performance, combining solid technique with lyricism, an emotional depth that could even be described as romantic, and a sense of cantabile. It stands out as one of the finest recordings of these works in recent years.Tobu Shoji Co., Ltd.
