DCXI. BACH, J.S.: Concerto #2 in E Major for Violin, BWV 1042

DCXI. BACH, J.S. (1685-1750)

Concerto #2 in E Major for Violin, BWV 1042
1. Allegro
2. Adagio
3. Allegro assai
Shunske Sato, violin
Netherlands Bach Society
(15:49)


A marvel of inspiration! From the stately opening ...

First movement






















... to the dark C-Sharp Minor dirge-like hymn of beauty ...

Second movement










... to the utterly joyful dance!

Third movement





Sato is a true Bach master, and it is a joy to hear him embellish the music just as would have been done in Bach's time.
