ABOUT THE ALBUM
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.
