Kim Kashkashian - Six Suites for Viola Solo

+++ available on CD, download & streaming +++

ECM New Series 2553-54

The poetry and radiance of Bach’s cello suites (BWV 1007-1012) are transfigured in these remark-able interpretations by Kim Kashkashian on viola, offering “a different kind of sombreness, a differ-ent kind of dazzlement” as annotator Paul Griffiths observes. One of the most compelling perform-ers of classical and new music, Kashkashian has been hailed by The San Francisco Chronicle as "an artist who combines a probing, restless musical intellect with enormous beauty of tone." An ECM artist since 1985, she approaches Bach’s music with the same commitment as revealed in her other solo recordings, the legendary Hindemith sonatas album and the widely acclaimed (and Grammy-winning) account of Kurtág and Ligeti.
