Bach: Sonatas and Partitas Volume 1 is beautifully played and uplifting to listen to from beginning to end. Every one of the pieces on this CD sounds perfectly at home interpreted for the mandolin.

Thile now must be considered – along with Bela Fleck – as one of the contemporary masters of the mandolin, exercising his powers across multiple genres.

PopMatters

These are practiced, meticulous, and highly orthodox performances, ones that would be impressive for someone twice Thile’s age.
