Amir Lavie plays Fugue

Check out this video of Amir Lavie plays Fugue from J.S Bach violin sonata in G minor.

Video directed and shot by Yoel Culiner.

Norman Lebrecht wrote the following on slippedisc about the video: we weren’t that thrilled last week with Yo Yo Ma’s release, in which the cellist plays with mandolinist Chris Thile on bits of Bach for the dinner-party circuit.

Amir Lavie, principal percussionist of the Israel Symphony Orchestra, thinks the Fugue from the Violin Sonata in G minor by J.S. Bach sounds better on Marimba.
