Program notes

Hungarian violinist and professor at London's Royal Academy of Music Gyorgy Pauk works with Gennaro Cardaropoli on the Sarabande from Johann Sebastian Bach's Violin Partita No. 2.

Bach's Partita No. 2 in D minor, written between 1717 and 1720, is the best known of his six solo violin works. Each of the work's five movements takes a different dance form–Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Gigue, and Chaconne–and the D minor Partita's fame is in large part due to its final magnificent Chaconne.
