I've never heard of any Bach trio sonatas, except possibly organ works, must do some research as baroque trio sonatas are probably my favourite form of music.Quote:

Bach repurposed the trio sonatas in all sorts of ways with the same music popping up in all sorts of places arranged for different instrumental combinations (including random 'sinfonia' movements in occasional cantatas), and performers have subsequently done the same with their own arrangements.Quote:

Just looked it up, BWV 530 is an organ sonata, I guess "trio" refers to 2 manuals and the pedals? Are the arrangements you refer to Tom all of organ works?Quote:

In strict terms a trio sonata was for two melody parts and continuo, which comprised a 'bass' instrument - most likely a viola da gamba or cello in the period ... Bach himself often took the gamba part in chamber music - plus a keyboard part that was intended as an improvised an accompaniment using figured bass (a kind of shorthand that showed what harmony was intended at key points of the bass part )- so trio sonatas are often performed by four performers. But with organ you can have two melody parts plus bass (no 'accompaniment') performed by a single person - but it's fiendishly difficult to play three actual melodies at once and indeed the trio sonatas for organ were written (as indeed quite a lot of the organ works were) for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann who was quite the virtuoso thanks to his dad pushing him very hard.
These basic blocks were organised in all sorts of ways for example some works that are effectively trio sonatas contain the second melody part on the harpsichord and a written out accompaniment that includes bass - where the gamba part is effectively optional and can be omitted. So you can have a trio sonata with one, two, three or even four players involved. (Perhaps all with the same basic musical content).
That CD contains all sorts of arrangements some by Bach some by others of Bach's music, all in the spirt of the sort of thing that Bach would have done with it.
An interesting mix of contemporary and baroque solo violin pieces

I'm really starting to get seriously into Bax's symphonies.
Very different sound world, but somehow the sheer scale of the music, its rhythmic insistence and its cycling of soft/loud sequences reminds me of Bruckner, one of my favourite composers.

This is a stunning recording

Awesome recording Jerry, not just because of the unusual instrumentation either, this is a quality performance. Nice one!Quote:

Bit of a pleasant discovery.
Very tuneful and listenable indeed, in a ripely romantic manner.

A fine set of Mozart piano sonatas - lively and lucid.
https://static.qobuz.com/images/cove...987012_600.jpg
My goodness, it's too easy to take the old masters like Klemperer for granted.
Playing Beethoven 1st symphony - and it is utterly superb in its rhythmic lucidity, precision and tonal weight.
Marvellous.
Great sq, too, from the "EMI Golden Age".

Antonio Vivaldi – ‘Concerti’
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1200_.jpg
Concentus musicus Wien, Harnoncourt; Concerto Amsterdam, Jaap Schröder
Played using original instruments.
Telefunken ‘Das Alte Werke’ 6.35416 (1968) 6 LP set
Do I need yet another copy of the 'Four Seasons'? No not really, but then I'm a big fan of the use of original instruments - and this version inter alia is a refreshing and interesting reading. No, it doesn't surplant the Drottingholm Consort's version in my opinion, but is a welcome addition nonetheless.
The rest of the concerti are thoroughly enjoyable as well.
Having rediscovered Furtwangler, I'm now revisiting Klemperer's reading of the Beethoven symphonies. I used to think of Klemperer as 'stolid' and 'plodding', but I'm now changing my view.Quote:

And the same violinist, Soyoung Yoon, in the best Sibelius VC I have ever heard.

One of the few works by Benjy Britten that I really like ---- probably because to me it sounds amazingly like Shostakovich! :)
