I always enjoy watching and admiring the teaching of music. Teachers have mostly learned that one has to encourage students to explore interpretation on their own. To bring their own ideas into what might work, other than the teacher’s way. The teacher of Yitzhak Perlman, Ms. Dorothy DeLay was a terrific example of that approach

In this recording (DVD), we get to hear and see the following:

Bach, J S:

  • Partita for solo violin No. 2 in D minor, BWV1004: Sarabande
  • Giga from Violin Partita No. 2
  • Partita for solo violin No. 2 in D minor, BWV1004: Chaconne
  • Partita for solo violin No. 3 in E major, BWV1006: Preludio
  • Partita for solo violin No. 3 in E major, BWV1006: Loure
  • Partita for solo violin No. 3 in E, BWV1006: Gavotte
  • Cello Suite No. 3 in C major BWV1009: Bourrees I & II
  • Cello Suite No. 3 in C major, BWV1009: Gigue
  • Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor, BWV1011: Prélude

Performed by Rachel Podger (violin/tutor); students: Colin Scobie, Violeta Barrena (violin); George Clifford (baroque violin); Hetti Price, Vladimir Waltham (baroque cello)
