Barton Pine/Vinikour - Johann Sebastian Bach: The Sonatas for Violin & Harpsichord

Violinist Rachel Barton Pine and harpsichordist Jory Vinikour, critically acclaimed artists of international renown � and also close friends � record together for the first time on this album of J.S. Bach�s complete sonatas for violin and harpsichord. The artists approach these works as Bach intended: as trio sonatas with equally important roles for the violin and the harpsichord�s treble and bass lines. In addition to the six Sonatas, the album offers the remarkable and ravishingly poetic Cantabile, BWV 1019a, a free- standing work that Bach originally conceived as a movement of the Sonata, BWV 1019.
