Breaking: Bach violinist hits #8 on Amazon all-music chart (update)
mainShe appeared yesterday on NPR’s All Things Considered show (listen here) and lo0k what happened. Anne-Akiko Meyers’ Bach album is now in the US amazon top ten, two behind Bob Dylan (watch your back, Bobcats).
Like Heifetz, she plays both parts of the double-violin concerto. Unlike him, she plays it on different Stradivarius instruments.
That’s what you can afford when you hit #8 on amazon music.
UPDATE: Since I first posted, she has risen to #6. Must be the power of Slipped Disc.
Fresh Air and All Things Considered, as well as the NPR website, are wonderful marketing tools. It’s not often discussed or even widely known, but these programs have audiences reaching well above most other syndicated talk programs.
