"Bach opens with the Violin Concerto BWV 1042, and the performance is captivating in every respect. The interpretation lives from the liveliness and the joy of communication of the soloist with the orchestra. In general, the music sounds very round, well balanced, of great warmth, sensitively performed and yet not without the necessary freshness and liveliness. "

Linus Roth has made a name for himself internationally not just with standard repertoire, but also with his discovery or rediscovery of works that have undeservedly fallen into oblivion.
