The Beauty of Bach

The Beauty of Bach

 

Musicians
Ian Wilson (recorders)
Kasia Tomczak-Feltrin (harpsichord)

Description

Bach’s use of the recorder was a significant one; it appears, for example, as a solo instrument in two of his Brandenburg Concertos as well as playing a significant role in around a tenth of his cantatas. Despite this clear affection and understanding of the instrument, Bach never wrote a solo sonata for the recorder. Ian Wilson and Kasia Tomczak-Feltrin give a tantalizing glimpse into what a Bach Recorder Sonata might have been like by performing transcriptions of works for other instruments. Performing two violin sonatas with particularly lyrical qualities and a sunny flute sonata, the qualities of the recorder that appealed to Bach are thoroughly explored.
Kasia and Ian have a long relationship with the museum, performing here regularly since it opened in 2001.
