Stunning Disc!, August 28, 2011
This review is from: Trio Sonatas (Audio CD)
This is a delightful, inventive, witty, charming, enchanting, inspiring disc. I was blown away. I have long enjoyed the Bach trio sonatas (BWV 525-530), which are usually played on organ. My first recording of that was of John Butt playing an historic instrument owned by UC Berkeley, another outstanding disc. These trio sonatas are Bach at his most inventive, and that is saying a lot. In the Verbruggen disc, only four of the six sonatas appear together, plus one other trio sonata (BWV 1031). Perhaps Ms. Verbruggen thought that BWV 526 and 528 did not translate well to the recorder. In any event, the recorder and the harpsichord are outstanding here, as is the recording quality. Highest recommendation.
