Virtuosic and heartfelt, Bach’s sonatas reveal his complete mastery of violin technique. The sonatas’ fast movements dance as instrumental voices intertwine, while his slow passages sing rapturously with fluid Italianate melodies. Two leading stars of Baroque music perform these works. Amandine Beyer is recognized as one of the foremost period-performance violinists of our time, while Pierre Hantaï is a harpsichord legend who has performed with such luminaries as Jordi Savall, Sigiswald Kuijken, and many others.
