About the Music

Bach's compositions for several different types of instruments  focus to a great extent on the instruments that he loved the most: violin, violoncello, flute, oboe d'amore, and harpsichord. This program presents those instruments in works by Bach himself.

It is said that Bach played the viola and was as masterful at that as he was an unparalleled keyboard player. But Bach didn't write much for viola alone, so we turn to his friend and colleague, Georg Philipp Telemann, for his popular Concerto in G Major for Viola and a rousing concerto for Flute, Violin, and 'Cello.

The American Bach roster of amazing soloists will take turns presenting this sound catalog of JSB's best-loved instruments.
