About the Music

Although Bach's compositions for several different types of instruments might not number as many as those by Telemann and Vivaldi, he did 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.

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