Description
Titans of the period-performance community Sarah Cunningham and Richard Egarr join forces for a dazzling programme of J.S. Bach's three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord together with arrangements of the Organ Trio sonata No. 3 and the Allemande from Flute Partita in A minor.
Legends of the period-performance community Sarah Cunningham and Richard Egarr need little introduction with their contributions to recorded music garnering critical acclaim from early music afficionados across the decades. They join forces for their AVIE Records debut recording of J.S. Bach's celebrated Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord together with Cunningham's dazzling Organ Trio Sonata and Flute Partita arrangements to conclude the programme. The Gamba Sonatas have long-established themselves as a staple in the cello/gamba repertoire, notably extending their fame into popular culture with the Adagio from Sonata No. 3 featuring (alongside with Bach's solo suites) in Anthony Minghella's 1990 BAFTA award-winning movie "Truly, Madly, Deeply", starring Alan Rickman and Juliet Stephenson.
Sarah Cunningham is recognised as one of the foremost viola da gambists worldwide.
Richard Egarr brings a joyful sense of adventure and a keen, enquiring mind to all his music-making – whether conducting, directing from the keyboard, giving recitals, playing chamber music, and indeed talking about music at every opportunity.
CRITICA ACCLAIM
"…achieves a pleasing balance and integration of texture, with [Sarah] Cunningham carefully differentiating between leading and subsidiary passages in her part, and Richard Egarr choosing well-contrasted timbres for his upper and lower lines." - BBC Music magazine, Feb 2022
