Meghan Nenniger; Johannes Konig; Jean Hommel - Johann Sebastian Bach: Gambensonaten

Johann Sebastian Bach's three Gamba Sonatas (BWV 1027-1029) may be among his best-known works, but in contrast to their popularity, we know little concrete information about their composition and possible dedications. A version for three string instruments could appear somewhat unorthodox at first glance, but may in fact be a little closer to its presumed origin. And although the string trio led by cellist Johannes Konig plays on modern instruments, its interpretation is inspired by insights from historical performance practice. With its version of the Gamba Sonatas, the ensemble wishes to contribute to a historically informed, yet undogmatic and diverse performance that emulates Bach's own joy in experimentation.
