Listening to the Internet: Bach and Mandolin

Chris Thile is probably one of the most notable mandolin players out there with an ability to play anything, any style of music with verve and authority on his instrument -- whether it is blues, folk, country, traditional Celtic reels, jazz improvisation -- or more recently a gorgeous new collection of The Bach Partitas and Sonatas. He was featured on Sound Check "Chris Thile Bach on Mandolin" and oh how wonderful to hear the entire interview and musical interludes. Here's one of my favorites -- Thile who is known to play with incredible speed and fluidity, going slow and deliberately through Bach's "Sonata No. 1 in G Minor, Sicilianna."
