Richard Troeger - JS Bach The Art of Fugue Violin Transcriptions Fantasias
Review by Frank Rich
The album "JS Bach The Art of Fugue Violin Transcriptions Fantasias" by Richard Troeger is a stunning tribute to the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach. Troeger's violin transcriptions of Bach's "The Art of Fugue" and "Fantasias" are masterful, demonstrating his virtuosity as a performer and his deep understanding of Bach's music.
Troeger's violin playing is exquisite, with a rich tone and flawless technique that brings out the intricate beauty of Bach's music. His interpretations are thoughtful and nuanced, capturing the emotional depth and complexity of Bach's compositions.
The album is expertly produced, with a clear and balanced sound that showcases Troeger's violin and allows the listener to fully appreciate the subtleties of Bach's music. The packaging is also well-designed, with informative liner notes that provide valuable context and insight into the music.
