Thomas Baltzar - Complete Works for Unaccompanied Violin

Recorded: Sept. 2006, Princeton, New Jersey | Released: 2007

Label: MSR MS 1224 | TT: 33:57

Little is known about the early life of Thomas Baltzar. He was born in Lübeck in 1630 or 1631, into a family of musicians active in the community for several generations: his father and two of his brothers were town musicians (ratslautenisten), as were his uncle, grandfather and great-grandfather, and two of his great-uncles were organists. Baltzar’s brother Joachim learned composition, the cornett and the violin from Nikolaus Bleyer, and although there are no records to show where Thomas received his musical instruction, Bleyer is a likely teacher.

In England, Baltzar later came to be known as "the Swede," not because he was Swedish, but because he had recently been employed at the court of Queen Christina in Sweden. Records from the year 1653 suggest that he may not have stayed very long. He certainly did not stay beyond the end of 1654, as the Lübeck archives list him as a town musician in early 1655.

End of status report

Thomas Baltzar is a little-known German violinist and composer who is getting a well-deserved airing in this new premiere recording [...] This CD represents his complete output of unaccompanied violin music, and is also the first-ever recording of this once-innovative music. What’s so striking about the pieces is their early use of polyphony, [...] double-stops and scordatura [...] British-Mexican violinist Patrick Wood thoughtfully plays the works. His tone is even, pure, and warm, and his intonation is spot-on. His light, gentle playing adds just the left shimmer to the simple beauty of each short piece. (Strings, July 2008)

Bach [raised] the art to its peak in his iconic Sonatas and Partitas, but Baltzar appears to have helped set the scene [...] preludes, allemandes and courantes are early models of compositional concision and elegance. The pieces are [...] endowed with sophisticated turns of phrase and harmonic personality. Certainly the discernment and imagination Baltzar invested in his unaccompanied works were destined to provide curious violinists with ample technical challenges, as well as musical rewards. Patrick Wood is one of those violinists. makes a splendid case for Baltzar, playing the collection with graceful and fervent assurance. His sound is rich and nuanced, his command of the difficulties complete. (Gramophone, May 2008)
