Teodoro Baù & Andrea Buccarella
Historical sources frequently compare the viola da gamba to the human voice. In Bach’s sonatas for gamba and harpsichord, everything sings, no one is master, no one is servant. With four grandiose compositions, the Thomaskantor sketched the outlines of a new kind of chamber music, in which instrumental partners each acquire their own voice – sometimes agreeing, then challenging, but always in sharp dialogue. Taking the sonatas as a starting point, Teodoro Baù and Andrea Buccarella delve into the essence of Johann Sebastian’s sonorous revolution.
