KTC1922: EIN GOLDBERGWERK: Recorder and harpsichord works around J.S. Bach Carsten Eckert-recorder, Alexandra Koreneva-harpsichord

Description

It seems that Bach himself understood the intricate texture, especially of his instrumental works, as an overarching aesthetic quality, the tonal implementation of which was not tied to a specific instrumentation. For example, a trio movement could be used as a sinfonia of a church cantata (BWV 76/8), but also as an introduction to an organ trio (BWV 76/8) with its distinctive instrumentation for oboe d’amore, viola da gamba and basso continuo without significant changes in its compositional substance (BWV 528/1). Carsten Eckert and Alexandra Koreneva take up this concept of adaptation and present their versions of some well-known and less well-known chamber music works from Johann Sebastian Bach’s circle.
