Midori, in her search for authenticity,visits the places where Bach's compositions originated. Exploring the castle of Köthen, where Bach wrote the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin,she fills the historical rooms with the sound of these masterpieces. Music and space merge exclusively in the acoustic offered by the location, which supports the breathtaking polyphonyand the detailed richness of the works as well as the technical brilliance and perfectionof Midori's subtly shaped performance. recorded at the Castle Köthen, August 2016
