His latest album…may be his finest achievement yet, at least rivalling his 2019 account for that label of Bach’s Complete Sonatas and Partitas. Cotik’s Telemann is impressive on all fronts as a technical achievement that will spur the interest of other performing artists and for a sensual beauty that should appeal strongly to listeners everywhere. Cotik performs all this music, and more, with such style and flair that he almost makes a daunting task seen easy.

His sound is treated like a true craftsman, with just the right vibrato, intensity and dynamics controlled to the millimeter, transparency of layers, and a unique color for each string. It’s a commendable effort towards a new musical identity.

The CD recording is his seventeenth in ten years, yet no sign of fatigue is evident when his passion for the material translates into performances of immense appeal…Cotik invests the material with so much life. Listening to him play is never less than a pleasure, and all twelve pieces are brought vividly and expressively to life.

…nothing challenges Cotik, who uses a Baroque bow to lovely effect…The booklet essay says that “every note of these often complex pieces lies perfectly, if not easily, [my italics] under the bow.” Well, yes – if you’re as superb a player as Tomás Cotik.
