바흐: 무반주 첼로 모음곡 전곡 (바이올린 판본)
레이첼 포저(바이올린)

무반주 소나타와 파르티타, 소나타, 협주곡을 차근차근 녹음하며 우리 시대 최고의 바흐 해석자로 공인받은 레이첼 포저가 무반주 첼로 모음곡을 바로크 바이올린으로 녹음했다. 포저는 6번을 제외한 다섯 곡에서는 옥타브를 올려서 연주했는데, 바이올린의 특성을 고려해서 템포를 살짝 빠르게 잡고 각 춤곡의 본질을 잘 살렸으며 몇몇 춤곡에서 첼로에 비해 떨어지는 울림은 거트현의 섬세한 음색으로 보충했다. 평소 자신의 곡을 자유롭게 재활용했던 바흐의 연주 관습에도 부합하며, 해석과 양식미, 기술적 능력에서 모두 최상급의 연주라고 할 수 있다.

 

Presto Classical 26th April 2019
Reclothed in the brighter colours of D major, the opening Prelude of the ‘G major’ Suite shimmers with an unfamiliar, iridescent beauty that’s as disconcerting as it’s beguiling…Like many of my most treasured interpreters Podger never draws undue attention to the mechanics behind the music. She clearly knows and loves its every contour as well as any cellist...Neither Podger nor I would advote that you banish your Rostropovich, Casals or Fournier, but anyone who loves these endlessly rewarding works should give this recording a whirl.
- Katherine Cooper

In Podger’s hands they sound altogether new, not like a higher-pitched copy of the familiar cello works but like something written for her own instrument...Played on the cello, these sets of stylised dances sit companionably with you beside the ballroom floor. Here, on the violin, they drag you up on to your feet and whirl you around. That’s partly to do with the buoyancy of Podger’s playing, full of agile twists and turns, and partly because some movements naturally flow faster on the violin.
