bored so made another chart, my top 5 essential (and favorite, in this case) sets for Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

note: possibly could switch out Ehnes' set for his newer, second one, but as it stands, his first one is the one I'd rank higher. I need to do a direct comparison of them soon

and don't give me a
>wtf no Grumiaux???
yes, Grumiaux is a legend, and his set is no doubt essential to try, but for my ears it's so severe, too harsh. if you wanna call me a pansy because it's too masculine, then fine, I get that. it's my chart tho

anyway, give them a listen! once again, some of the greatest achievements in the history of music, everyone ought to not only be deeply familiar with them, but with a variety of interpretations and sets from great musicians
