Favourite HIP violinists

[FideLeo]

Which ones among the above mentioned haven't recorded the Bach unaccompanied? 

[Marc]

"Rugged" as flat like a floor and then covered up with a rug. Now that's a hip I wouldn't like to see. 

BTW: listened to BWV 1001 tomorrow, with the mentioned Fernandez. Definitely not too 'rugged', IMHO. Very inspired, warm and effective Bach playing!

Did not intent to use the term negatively, I like my violin playing a bit "rough" or "robust" if those terms make any more sense... And please let's stop fantasizing about rugs - I haven't had my morning medication yet.

BTW I think Hélène Schmitt deserves an honourable mention as well. 
This is a superb solo album:

Rough and robust: me, too.
Mild: me, too.



In many cases it depends on my own mood and desires. The more mild and gentle recordings have their booked place beside the bed.

Do you mean "affective"?  That would make a good contrast to Ryo Terakado's interpretation of the same (which is refreshing in a clear, sorted way and technically it is next to none).

[Antoine Marchand]

With three of them playing modern instruments!  It's distressing to see Bruggen blowing some metal! 

I don't know that recording, but I hope the period instrument must be the harpsichord. 

Which ones among the above mentioned haven't recorded the Bach unaccompanied? 

AFAIK Steck, Carmignola, Kraemer, Biondi, Manze and the girl of the broken violin (almost censored by Que  ).

No. I meant 'effective', but I meant it in a personal way: it has an apt 'Bach-effect' to my mind.

......

Which means that he's sort of 'affective', too!
No surprise really, I already used the adverb 'warm'.

Can't compare him with Terakado, though, because I haven't listened to the latter (yet?).

Yes your haunch is correct! 

AFAIK Steck, Carmignola, Kraemer, Biondi, Manze and the girl of the broken violin (almost censored by Que  ).

You know the girl?? 

[Expresso]

No one mentioned Goebel. Also i'll add the already mentioned Carmignola,Biondi,Kuijiken, Manze.

[Sorin Eushayson]

Which ones among the above mentioned haven't recorded the Bach unaccompanied? 

Andrew Manze.  I really wish he would get to it!

[Dancing Divertimentian]

With three of them playing modern instruments!  It's distressing to see Bruggen blowing some metal! 

I think professionals of this caliber know what they're doing.

[George]

Time for some name dropping on HIP violinists....
Favourite recordings by him:
Q

Something just occurred to me - shouldn't this thread be in the "General Classical Music Discussion" room?   

[FideLeo]

I think professionals of this caliber know what they're doing.

Maybe that's why they switched to period instruments later!
