Synopsis

Album Description
Rudolf Gähler counts among the few violinists who are masters of the modern curved bow. After studying with Prof. Schroeder in Kassel and Prof. Brero in Berlin, he appeared on numerous international stages, both as a soloist with orchestra and in duet with piano or harpsichord. Gähler prefers to perform polyphonic music on the curved bow, especially Bach's works for solo violin. His many recordings and performances on radio and TV demonstrate the diversity of his repertory as well as the richness of timbres and tone colors made possible by both the traditional bow and the curved bow. Besides his solo performances, Rudolf Gähler is a much sought-after specialist at conferences,symposiums, and festivals.

Bach with muscles!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bach's music played this way makes for some fascinating listening!...one can argue about authenticity and whether Bach really wanted his music played this way (and the debates are still going on)--but for me, this sound adds another, fuller dimension to his music--it's nothing short of terrific!"
