Johanna Martzy s solo Bach has acquired iconic status. Deploying the sturdy rhythm and glowing tone that are features of all her recordings, she gives balanced, middle-of- the-road interpretations, unhurried and free of self-indulgence. The three original LPs were well received on both sides of the Atlantic. Her interpretations are directly in the tradition of Hungarian fiddlers such as Szigeti, Telmányi and Varga with her native flair and un-showy virtuosity.
