Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Luís Otávio Santos & Pieter-Jan Belder

Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord is a set of six sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1720–1730. They combine Baroque contrapuntal writing with conversational interplay between the violin and an independent harpsichord part, showcasing intricate counterpoint, rhythmic energy and the mature chamber-music approach Bach developed during his Leipzig years.
First released: October 1999
