Sonya Bach brings a 'clean, jewel-like tone' to JS Bach's Keyboard Concertos Nos 1-5 & 7
Bach’s keyboard concertos are, in fact, his own recyclings for harpsichord and strings of sundry earlier works – fine examples of how he refashioned his music according to his resources and circumstances. Had he lived a generation later, he would might have played them on the piano, as his namesake Sonya Bach does here.
