| |  | AirThe Bach Album
Anne Akiko Meyers is celebrated as one of the world’s premiere concert violinists, described as a ‘trailblazing violinist’, one who is constantly ‘charting her own course.’ She has recently collaborated with top jazz artists such as Chris Botti, pop singing sensation, Il Divo and jazz legend, Wynton Marsalis, who composed cadenzas for her in Mozart’s G Major Violin Concerto. This new recording of Bach’s masterpieces for violin and orchestra is Anne’s third release for eOne. Alongside the two concertos for violin, Anne has recorded the Concerto for Two Violins, performing both parts on her two Stradivari violins: her recently acquired Ex- Napoleon Molitor Stradivarius (as featured on “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” on MSNBC) and the Royal Spanish Stradivarius, heard on her last two eOne recordings. Also included on this disc are exquisite new arrangements of the “Air” from the Suite No. 3 and the Bach-Gounod “Ave Maria.” Anne is quoted as saying “It was magical recording the Bach album with the English Chamber Orchestra and the ‘Ex-Molitor/Napoleon’ Stradivari violin, dated 1697. The special combination of beautiful repertoire, including ‘Air’, ‘Largo’ and ‘Ave Maria’, the Violin Concertos and the fresh take of recording both parts of the Double Concerto on 2 different Strads, was pure joy to make!” “These two Stradivarius violins clearly reveal the contrapuntal weave of Bach's lines...Meyers and Steven Mercurio interpret the concertos as exciting competition - agitated 'concitato' - rather than 'concerted' accord.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2012 **** “It's true that the Royal Spaniard Strad, which takes the bottom part in the Double, has a broader, darker tone than the golden-sounding ex-Molitor but I haven't heard portamento or vibrato like that on a solo Bach disc since David Oistrakh.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Producer and Restoration Engineer: Ward Marston “Here are some examples of what makes Cortot special...The combination of poetic inwardness and virtuoso exuberance is magical.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2011 ***** “Everything here is delectable but the very disc itself would object if I did not single out the pianist's arrangement of the Largo from Bach's F minor Concerto, something for everyone's desert island and enough to bring tears to the eyes of even the most puritan listeners.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

“as well as dazzling virtuosity and panache, they wax lyrical as well.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2010 **** “the players largely cast the jokes aside to give us more-or-less conventionally expressed readings...As usual it's just a bit of fun, but intelligent and unforced fun.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2010 “A brilliant and affectingly different collection of transcriptions of favourite Bach movements, at times uniquely exhilarating, at others showing Bach at his most expressively touching... Adams's recorder playing is musically dazzling...but the other players complete an ensemble which is delightfully fresh and alive” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
