Jörg-Michael Schwarz & Dongsok Shin – Trios for Two: Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord of J.S. Bach

Jörg-Michael Schwarz, violin
Dongsok Shin, harpsichord

The collection of sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord represent some of Bach's most eloquent and ingenious contrapuntal writing, the most distinguishing element being the concertante treatment of both the right and left hand of the harpsichord, which, together with the violin part, forms a trio texture that is fully integrated and sublime.
