Bach - Violin Concertos, Concerto for two Violins BWV 1041-1043 + CD

A minor, E major, D minor

 

To this day, Bach's violin concertos are among the most popular repertoire pieces of many violinists who have to meet great technical demands in these works. Created during Bach's time in Köthen, in which the composer presented works of revolutionary novelty and originality, the violin concertos testify to Bach's rich instrumental imagination. Whereas his examples still followed a rather rigid structure in the outer movements, Bach managed to achieve a closer connection and integration of the formal sections by treating the roles of the soloist and the orchestra in a differentiated and varying way.
