Notes and Editorial Reviews
Recognized by the New York Times for his "exquisitely
nominated mandolinist Avi Avital is one of the most
committed to building a fresh legacy for the mandolin
through virtuosic performance and refreshing new
repertoire.
Israeli-born Avi Avital has won many competitions and
nomination for "Best Instrumental Soloist Performance" in
2010.
album - including transcriptions of concertos for
harpsichord and violin in arrangements for mandolin and
orchestra - with Kammerakademie Potsdam.
"Avital has the gift of transforming the seemingly
impossible into reality. His magical fingers arrange,
shape, and twist the melodious phrases so evocatively that
they take on a vocal quality, sounding even more vibrant
than the music many violinists or cellists coax from their
instruments."
(Jesko Schulze-Reimpell, Donaukurier)
in virtuosity and dedication."
R E V I E W S:
Vivaldi wrote concertos to feature the mandolin - an
Italian instrument, after all - but J.S. Bach did not.
instrumentation, though, and young Israeli mandolin ace Avi
Avital has transcribed for his instrument three of the
and 1056. In their more familiar guises for such cantabile
instruments, these concertos sing, gloriously. With the
resource compared to the harpsichord, a more usual
alternate instrument - it would seem like the soul of this
music would go missing. Some is lost in translation, true,
in his hands, the light, quicksilver tone of the mandolin
acts like a dash of Mediterranean sun, making the concertos
more ebullient, feathery. A poor soloist-ripieno balance
would ruin things, but the modern strings and period
continuo of the Kammerakademie Potsdam are vivid without
mandolin should be a touch higher in the mix. Not just for
unlikely and all the more lovely for it.

Following in the footsteps of Milos and his guitar revival,
Deutsche Grammophon presents the charismatic young Israeli
musician Avi Avital, champion of yet another beautiful and
underestimated stringed instrument - the mandolin.
In 2010, Avi Avital was the first mandolinist to ever
receive a Grammy nomination for "Best Instrumental
Soloist".
His debut album for Deutsche Grammophon is devoted to one
of his great passions: the music of J.S. Bach. The
three concertos and a trio sonata by the great Cantor of
Leipzig.
These gifts, and his commitment to expanding the expressive
possibilities of the mandolin, are why Deutsche Grammophon
way to begin, than with Bach?
