About this album

Bach’s Violin Concertos are presented with poise, elegance and chamber-scale clarity in performances by Yehudi Menuhin and Christian Ferras. The set draws on Baroque style without losing warmth, balancing rhythmic lift with singing lyricism in works that remain central to the violin repertory. Menuhin’s interpretive authority and Ferras’s refined tone bring contrasting but complementary strengths to Bach’s concertos, while the Bath Festival Chamber Orchestra and Robert Masters Chamber Orchestra provide alert, understated support. First issued in 1961, this release reflects the period’s growing interest in historically aware Bach playing while keeping the music direct, communicative and unmistakably lyrical.
