Dordrecht Bach festival piano and violin sonatas BWV 1014 - BWV 1019

This week, the Bach festival Dordrecht started, with numerous concerts devoted to Johann Sebastian and his sons divided all over the beautiful 17th century inner city of Dordrecht, in the Netherlands. Numerous shops in the city participate in this festival, including Chocolate shop N’Joy, who produced a special set of chocolates for this festival (see picture below :-)

Not as populair as the solo sonatas and partitas for violin, are Bach’s sonatas for Harpsichord and violin. Not „violin and harpsichord” as two of the three voices are for harpsichord, and in fact these works are actually triosonatas-for-two-instruments.
That these works can also can be played on piano and violin, show pianist Enrico Pace and violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, who recorded this fine set in 1995.

N’Joy!
