Album insights
In 2012, Avi Avital's fruitful collaboration with the Grammy-winning mandolin virtuoso from Israel began with the debut album "Bach" on Deutsche Grammophon. Since then, he has continuously immersed himself in J.S. Bach's work, reworking and performing his compositions on the mandolin. As part of his major tour in spring 2019, Avi Avital has freshly arranged two of Bach's most renowned works. These reimagined pieces, the Solo Partita No. 2 and the Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1, are included as bonus content in the current tour version of his best-selling Bach album. Additionally, this special edition features a DVD containing live recordings of Concerto BWV 1041 and Sonata BWV 1034.
