Press Quotes
Hungarian violinist Antal Szalai's thoughtful musicianship and consummate technical command are evident in every bar of the four works that encompass this impressive unaccompanied recital. He builds each of the Bach D minor Partita's movements from the bottom up, leaning into the lowest notes both for harmonic emphasis and to propel the composer's dance-oriented rhythms. The Chaconne is on the slow side, but rivetingly sustained. Notice the wide dynamic range plus a keen ear for color and textural variety that informs the Ysaÿe, as well as the dark dignity Szalai brings to the Kreisler Recitativo (although the subsequent Scherzo-Caprice could use slightly more lightness and charm).
