Description
On Sonata & Paritas Vol 1, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile performs two Bach works written for solo violin.
The album, pressed on a single disc in 140-gram vinyl at Pallas, was produced by Thiles friend, mentor, and frequent collaborator, the double bassist and composer Edgar Meyer. Thile will perform works by Bach in solo recitals this autumn.
Chris Thile is the founding member and lead vocalist of Punch Brothers. With broad influences including progressive bluegrass, rock, classical, and jazz, Thile transcends the borders of conventionally circumscribed genres, creating a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic.
As a soloist, Thile has released five previous albums. In 2011, Nonesuch Records released the Grammy-nominated Sleep With One Eye Open, an album of duets with guitarist Michael Daves. Thile has also collaborated with a pantheon of musical innovators from multiple genres including Béla Fleck, Brad Mehldau, and Hilary Hahn. For more than 15 years, Thile played in the wildly popular band Nickel Creek, with which he released three albums, sold two million records, and was awarded a Grammy.
