Audax Records and Ensemble Diderot pride themselves on their pioneering forays into unknown and neglected repertoire. The concept of building compelling and insightful programmes around major works and audience favourites and not shying away from presenting recital albums has been one of the building blocks of the label.

​Audax Milestones is a new series of single releases which presents those repertoire cornerstones that are often hidden in their highly inventive programmes where the limelight shines on new and unknown gems. Johannes Pramsohler and the musicians of Ensemble Diderot have curated the series from their award-winning Audax releases.

Bach’s Partita in D Minor, BWV 1004, is one of the touchstones of the violin repertoire. After a sequence of standard suite dances the work culminates in the famous chaconne, one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Johannes Pramsohler plays on Reinhard Goebel’s ex Rogeri and sets new standards in terms of tempo and articulation.
