Bach: Six Trio Sonatas - King's Consort - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Bach’s Six Trio Sonatas, BWV 525-530, were originally written as practice works for his son Wilhelm Friedemann (b.1710) when Wilhelm was learning the organ. Here they are completely reimagined and transformed into colourful, expressive, instrumental chamber works. It was Bach himself who founded the tradition of transcribing his own music for varying instrumental groupings. Robert King has arranged and adapted these six works to involve a wide range of instrumental colours. Five melody instruments (two violins, viola, oboe and oboe d'amore) create a variety of instrumental colours, underpinned by a similarly diverse continuo accompaniment of cello, theorbo, harpsichord and chamber organ.
