Fredrik From plays with tremendous expression through dynamics and a cleanly detailed sense of line within authentic – largely vibrato-less playing. These performances bring out Vivaldi/Corelli Italianate qualities in these concertos which you might not have noticed elsewhere. The bassoon has the effect of pointing out the lively activity going on in the lower lines, a feature with melodic strengths all too often neglected. Even if, like me, you have heard these pieces dozens of times before, you will be made to stop and pay attention as if they were new pieces…if you are on the lookout for ‘authentic’ Bach violin concertos then this will be well worth considering.
