Search - Catherine Manson & Ton Koopman :: 6 Sonatas for Harpsichord and Violin BWV 1014-1019

By departing in virtually every respect from the conventional model of the baroque trio sonata, Bach s six sonatas for harpsichord and violin let both instruments participate equally in the unfolding of the thematic-motivic material. They establish a genuine dialogue between the two performers, and actually pave the way for the classic duo sonata. The dialogue between these two musicians is equal and enchanting, and the intimate nature of this recording draws the listener in immediately.
