Sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & La Divina Armonia & Mayumi Hirasaki & Anna Camporini & Lorenzo Ghielmi

Sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo is a set of six sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1720. Rooted in the Baroque chamber-music tradition, the works pair virtuosic violin lines with a basso continuo and display contrapuntal complexity, melodic invention and contrasting movements that reflect Bach's chamber output during his Köthen/Weimar years and his exploration of instrumental dialogue.
