You can call me Johann. But don't expect me to answer to that.
Another CD of very old, miscellaneous Bach compositions, once again performed by Christiane Wuyts, a Belgium-born harpsichord known particularly for her performances of Bach’s music, as well as for her use of period instruments. The two harpsichords she’s playing on this CD were made by Henri Hemsch (1754) and Jacques Goermans (1774). BWV 923 (“Praeludium […]

August 6th, 2011 · No Comments · 1720, Bach at 35, BWV 1001, BWV 1002, BWV 1003, CD 1-10, Mark Lubotsky, Partita, Sonate E Partite I, Violins, Yngwie Malmsteen
