Concerto in C BWV 595 and Fuga in CBWV 545

BWV 595 is part of a concerto arranged by Bach for Prince Johann Ernst of Saxony, the original of which has unfortunately not survived. This light, lively composition without airs and graces is a very dynamic piece in the version for recorder quartet, in which the bass recorder also comes into its own. Every part in the fugue BWV 545 is equally attractive. This work, originally written for organ, has been arranged here for recorder quartet. The monumentality of the organ version gives way to an intimate dialogue between four individual instruments and the personality of their players, and this edition of Bach's music offers a pleasant addition to the recorder repertoire.
