Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Richard Boothby & Shalev Ad-El

Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord is a set of three sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1730. These Baroque chamber works feature contrapuntal interplay between the viola da gamba and an obbligato harpsichord part, combining lyrical melodic writing with fugal and dance-derived movements, and they occupy a distinctive place in Bach's instrumental output as examples of his mature chamber music for bowed and continuo instruments.
