Boris Begelman performing Violin Partita No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1006: III. Gavotte, by J.S. Bach.
In the April 2018 issue of The Strad, Tim Homfray reviews Begelman’s recording of the complete Sonatas and Partitas as ’emotionally rich, musically satisfying and always entertaining’.
’Bach’s music is a reflection of life, and life is not always serious – there is also humour and dancing, and uplifting moods to counter the darker ones.’
