In Reply to: At least recommend a performance that doesn't embody everything that's wrong with "traditional" Bach. ; ) nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on January 22, 2018 at 22:15:20:
Some excerpts:
"Zimmermann and Pace play splendidly together (with Pace one of the great accompanists working today), and their music making is perfectly coordinated, expressive but not romanticized, energetic but not overwrought."

"With all due respect for the period instrument perspective, I admit to preferring the full, gorgeous sound of the piano over the tinny noise clanging away in the background, and these two musicians so beautifully make use of the piano's equality with the violin. The music sparkles with aliveness, all the parts so clear, Bach's genius on full display."

"This is the kind of thing a max rating should be reserved for. Exceptionally lovely, intense performances. Also to me the sound is fabulous. . . "

"Zimmermann and Pace give expressive and lively performances without a trace of sentimentality or melodrama."

"I have over a dozen complete recordings of the violin sonatas and these are EXTRAORDINARY accounts!. . . Zimmermann's phrasing is expressive and considered and his tone is amazing! Zimmermann and Pace are connected and the result is refreshing. . . I would not want to be without this set"

"Superb musicality, expressiveness and phrasing, combined with great richness of tone, make of this set a breathtaking listening experience. The gorgeous sound of Zimmermann's Stradivarius (once belonging to Fritz Kreisler) balances and blends beautifully with that of Pace's charismatic and tasteful pianism. I can't think of a stronger case for the superiority of the piano as the keyboard instrument on which to hear these sonatas"

Well. . . I could go on and on - but I think you get the idea! These listeners are clearly listening for something beyond mere mannerism! ;-)
