"Her superb Bach sonata collaborations with Ottavio Dantone attest to this on every level...Among the numerous world-class Bach sonata cycles available on CD, Mullova and Dantone easily merit reference status."

"To hear Mullova play Bach is, simply, one of the greatest things you can experience", wrote the London Guardian.

ONYX can now announce Viktoria Mullova's first complete recording of the Bach Sonatas with harpsichord, partnered by one of the world's greatest keyboard players, Ottavio Dantone (director of Accademia Bizantina). The set was recorded in March 2007 after a sold-out European tour

Viktoria Mullova records for the first time on her new Guadagnini violin of 1750. Using Baroque bow and technique, as she always does in pre-romantic music. Her next ONYX project will be her first complete recording of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin -
2CDs sold at a special price. Double digipak format with 4 language booklet and notes by Ottavio Dantone.

For BWV1014-1019 Dantone uses a new harpsichord (2007 Oliver Fadini) after an C18th Silbermann. For the other two Sonatas he plays a new chamber organ by Francesco Zanin and is joined by Baroque specialists Vittorio Ghielmi and Luca Pianca for the continuo.
