J.S.Bach’s son CPE.Bach was full of praise of the six sonatas for violin and harpsichord, calling them ‘amongst the finest works of my dearly beloved father. They still sound excellent and give me great pleasure although they are over 50 years old. There are several Adagios in them which even nowadays could not be set in a more singing style.’ With Bach every note is in exactly its rightful place, the absolute clarity of this music, especially in the hands of these two masters, is both invigorating and calming – a perfect start to this day.
