Nie ma w literaturze skrzypcowej drugiego dzieła, które miałoby podobny ciężar gatunkowy. Trzy sonaty i trzy partity BWV 1001–1006 na skrzypce solo J.S.Bacha są dziełem skończonym, doskonałym pod każdym względem. Uchodzą za najbardziej skomplikowane dzieło na skrzypce solo.
Bach na okładce partytury napisał po włosku "Się Solo"”, które może mieć dwa znaczenia: słowo "Się" można przetłumaczyć zarówno jako liczbę sześć, jak i jako "Jesteś". Jest mało prawdopodobne, aby Bach pozostawił coś tak ważnego przypadkowi lub zastosował prostą grę słowną. To swoiste przypomnienie ze strony kompozytora dla wykonawcy, aby respektując tekst muzyczny, szukać własnej interpretacji.
Linus Roth, skrzypek o międzynarodowej renomie, laureat wielu nagród, jak ECHO KLASSIK czy Editor's Choice, w Polsce znany za sprawą wykonawstwa dzieł Mieczysława Wajnberga, z arcydziełem Bacha po raz pierwszy zetknął się już w wieku 9 lat, kiedy po raz pierwszy zagrał ostatnią część Partity E-dur - "Gigue". Przez lata pogłębiał swoją wiedzę i praktykę skrzypcową przygotowując się do wykonania arcydzieła Bacha. Ten czas nastał w czasie lockdownu, kiedy aktywność nas wszystkich musiała zostać ograniczona do minimum. To "społeczne zamrożenie" okazało się sprzyjającą okolicznością, pozwalającą zakończyć studia nad tym najważniejszym cyklem na skrzypce solo, jaki został kiedykolwiek skomponowany.
Roth świadom jest wpływów, jakim podlegał podczas swojej edukacji, a miał wybornych pedagogów, wśród których można wyróżnić takie nazwiska, jak m.in.. Nicolas Chumachenco, Zakhar Bron czy Ana Chumachenco, jak też współpracowników, jak Gautier Capuçon, Kim Kashkashian, Albrecht Mayer, Itamar Golan, czy José Gallardo.

Editor's info:
The cycle of six solo Sonatas and Partitas by J.S. Bach is arguably one of the most powerful and most important compositions in musical history. These works have been with Linus Roth since he was nine years old, when he first learned the Gigue from the E major Partita, moving on by the age of twelve to the first Fugue in G minor to tackling at fifteen the Ciaconna, which represents a cosmos in its own right. By seventeen, Roth had finally learned the entire oeuvre for the first time and since then he is fortunate to have been able to grow as a musician through the constant and welcome challenge of interpreting these remarkable works.
Bach did not write ‘Six Solos’ on the cover of the score, but instead wrote ‘Się Solo’ in Italian, which can have two meanings: the word ‘Się‘ can be translated both as the number six and also as ‘You are’. ‘You are alone’ - Bach is unlikely to have left something so important to chance or to be playing a simple word game. This announcement – if it is even to be seen as a reminder from the composer to the performer - must be taken seriously and Linus has always viewed it as an invitation to interpret the music as freely as the musical text allows, which for him became a guiding principle in his quest for his own interpretation.
This recording was made during lockdown, in which all of our lives have had to be reduced to a minimum in almost every area. The chance to renew the intense preoccupation with this miraculous music in preparation for the recording was a huge privilege as it allowed Linus an escape into a spiritual freedom which helped me greatly on a personal level at this time.
Not only did Roth's teachers and the interpretations of great violinists have a huge influence on how he plays Bach, but also his preoccupation with the original text and with what is known as ‘historically informed performance practice’, in particular the experience of playing with the type of convex Baroque bow that was used in Bach’s time. Due to its bend and the different weight distribution, it has a different nature to the concave curved bow used today, which leads to a slight decrescendo phrasing where several notes are slurred together towards the tip of the bow. In Linus' opinion, the modern bow suits the modern violin better and enables a wider range of sounds, which is why he tries to translate these Baroque-style experiences to the modern bow.
While the slurs and other details in the musical text were not always adhered to in years gone by, further meticulous examinations of the text have resulted in music editions that faithfully reproduce all the details of Bach’s handwriting, yielding fascinating results.
In Bach’s hands, the Partita, a series of linked dance movements, is transformed from music with the specific purpose of entertainment into art. Music.
