Bach’s Libro Primo alternates between Sonatas and Partitas, all designed to complement one another and laid out in a precise order, Guillaume Rebinguet Sudre sets out to reinterpret the Cantor’s musical language in a fresh way by tackling these pieces in mirrored form in his search for their creator's original idea.

Since the mid-1980s, Frank Peter Zimmermann has earned recognition as one of the world’s leading violinists, admired not only for his technical skill and interpretive intelligence, but also for his versatility in a wide-ranging repertoire. His extensive discography ranges from Bach concertos and Beethoven sonatas to works by composers such as Martinů, Ligeti, Magnus Lindberg and Brett Dean. He waited until the fourth decade of his career, however, to take on Bach’s Sei solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato, the six sonatas and partitas for solo violin.

The Electric Light Orchestra is the eponymous debut studio album by English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in December 1971 in the United Kingdom by Harvest Records. In the United States, the album was released in early 1972 as No Answer, after a misunderstood telephone message made by a United Artists Records executive asking about the album name; the caller, having failed to reach the ELO contact, wrote down "no answer" in his notes, and this was misconstrued to be the name of the album. The Electric Light Orchestra (First Light Series) is a two disc expanded special 30th anniversary edition of their debut album. Released in 2001 in the UK, disc one contains the original ELO album plus bonus tracks and an interactive CD-ROM feature, while disc two features the oldest surviving live ELO material with co/founder Roy Wood and cellist Andy Craig.

The late Nathan Milstein’s 1973 stereo remake (of his mid-Fifties New York recordings) was his own preferred version of these pillars of the violin repertoire with which he had been so associated since his youth in Odessa. These are epic virtuoso performances justifying Milstein’s view that with this music the performer could "bask in the most glamorous light". Stylistically, purists will object to their expressive liberty and gesture. But few will be able to resist their artistry or intensity of delivery. This album won Grammy in Best Classical Instrumental Solo Recording category (1975).

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.
