Bach - Flute sonata in B minor BWV 1030 - Root and Van Delft | Netherlands Bach Society

We know of only a handful of flute sonatas by Bach, and of those only the Sonata in B minor has survived intact in a manuscript by Bach himself. The identity of the flautist Bach envisaged in 1736/37 for this demanding piece filled with subtleties is shrouded in mystery. But there is no doubt whatsoever that it must have been written for an excellent musician.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on 17 October 2015 at Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
