Our Take

J.S. BACH / KREETA-MARKA KENTALA Side By Side - Partitas And Folk Music

When you think of Bach, you probably picture a stuffy old composer in a powdered wig. But violinist Kreeta-Marka Kentala is here to show you that Bach can be cool, too. In her latest album "Side By Side," Kentala pairs Bach's iconic Partitas with lively folk music, giving listeners a fresh and funky take on classical music.

From the moment the first notes of the Partita No. 1 in B minor hit your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. Kentala's bow dances across the strings with precision and passion, breathing new life into these centuries-old compositions. But it's when she transitions into the folk tunes that things really get interesting.

With tracks like "Kallopio" and "Rakovalkeinen" Kentala proves that classical music doesn't have to be boring. Her playful, whimsical interpretations of these traditional Finnish songs will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. It's like Bach meets a ceilidh, and the result is pure magic.

So if you're looking for a classical album that's equal parts sophisticated and silly, look no further than "Side By Side." Whether you're a die-hard Bach fan or just someone who appreciates a good toe-tapping tune, Kreeta-Marka Kentala's latest offering is sure to tickle your fancy. Bach would be proud.
