Watch the full concert online here
Cynthia Roberts ~ violin
Peter Sykes ~ harpsichord
J.S. Bach’s G Major Sonata is full of joy and lyrical energy and is contrasted with the C minor Sonata with its passionate darkness. In both of these obligato sonatas, Bach uses the two voices of the harpsichord and the one voice of the violin to converse at the highest level.
Cynthia Roberts and Peter Sykes are on the faculty of the Historical Program at The Juilliard School and enjoy playing recitals together whenever possible. They especially gravitate to performing the music of Bach.
