Bach: Trio Sonatas
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, January 28, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Bach wrote his six Trio Sonatas, BWV 525-530, for organ as a technical challenge for his oldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann. But they are far more than utilitarian pedagogical pieces; they expand the definition of the trio sonata itself. Flutist Paula Robison and harpsichordist John Gibbons have interpreted these gems for their instruments on their 1997 album, J.S. Bach Sonatas BWV 525-530, which we feature this week.
