Flute Recital / Barthold Kuijken

This is a collection of mainly an unaccompanied partita by the Johann Sebastian Bach and an unaccompanied sonata by Emanuel Bach, arias and brunettes by Hotteterre, a suite by Silvius Leopold Weiss arranged by Barthold himself, and Vivaldi’s “Spring” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In particular, the pieces by Bach and his son have bold improvizations (variations) on the second repetitions, and the listener is taken aback by their sheer skill. Prior to the release of this CD, I listened to a solo concert by Bart at a church in Harajuku with almost the same program as this recording. I can still vividly recall the dreamy feeling I had at that time. #baroque #bach #片山俊幸
