With ominously rumbling double-basses in the beginning of Elektra’s Soliloquy and then a reproduction of the Chicago Symphony’s brass section that make the wineglasses in the cupboard in the adjacent room chink from exaltation, I had to reach for the jewel case to check the recording date. Look at the heading: nineteen hundred and fifty six! Half a century ago! It’s unbelievable! I could have sworn that this was a brand-new state-of-the-art effort but it is in fact a very early two-channel analogue stereo recording, enhanced through some technical wizardry and served through my SACD system, which actually is quite modest, adapted to my relatively small listening room.

CA, USA) This review is from:  Bach: Violin Concertos (Audio CD) For those who already appreciate Rachel Podger's unique brand of magic I'll just say that this return to recorded Bach is lovely and all that one could hope for. All that one looks for is here, and there is more. For those who are not familiar with Rachel Podger, she is a unique voice among violinists. She has absorbed the principles of late Baroque performance practice and made them a part of herself, so that the articulation and inflection of that rhetorical approach to music flows from her as a natural idiom of expression.
