Violinist Rachel Barton Pine and harpsichordist Jory Vinikour are both internationally acclaimed musicians. They’re also old friends. The warmth of their personal relationship is evident in this incredible performance. The Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord by J. S. Bach are a cornerstone of both the violin repertoire and Bach’s keyboard literature. Pine will argue that she is actually “one-third” of the duo, as the works feature a trio texture, so that the harpsichordist plays (at least) two fully-written out parts for the left and right hands.

"In these works we encounter some of Bach’s most technically intricate and fascinating creations, and these interpretations, performed with such clarity and care–in true partnership–make a good case for hearing them more prominently and more often."  David Vernier, Classics Today
