Description
David Grimal, one of the leading French violinists of his generation, releases his third recital for Ambroisie featuring Bach's solo sonatas and partitas interspersed with the world premiere recording of a piece by exciting young French composer, Brice Pauset. This recording marks a very special moment in the career of internationally renowned violinist, David Grimal. It is the mination of a long journey of initiation that has seen David battle, not only with the complexities of Bach's music and the secrets of the composers language, but also with his desire to discover more about himself and of his own musical voice. Through musical experimentation, the inspiration of fellow musicians, and spiritual enlightenment when playing in India, David Grimal now approaches music, his life and his playing, in a more mature way and has learnt to "ceaselessly question the mysteries of proportion and colour". Brice Pauset's Kontrapartita, given its premiere recording here, was inspired by the "morphology and the metaphorical strength" of Bach's music. In his booklet note Pauset says this led him to transfer his "impressions of the relationship of the bow to the violin strings into a piece in which bow and violin are treated as found objects". The release also includes a bonus DVD of David Grimal playing Bach's stunning Partita No.2 in D minor, BWV 1004 featuring the monumental and hugely popular 'Chaconne'.
