Bach’s sonatas for organ BWV 525-530 have long been suspected of being adaptations of his own trio sonatas for various instruments. Several recordings have already attempted to reconstruct the original instrumentation of the originals. With this recording, however, Trio Lezard presents more of an adaptation of the adaptation, which makes no claim to being an authentic reconstruction. Rather, the focus here is solely on the joy of playing when Bach is divided between cor anglais, clarinet and bassoon.

“Thanks to the woodwind instruments and their sensitive, refined playing, the interpretation was both transparent and light.“

“a Bach that is rarely more sprightly, music that truly lifts one‘sspirits. The musicians‘ enthusiasm cannot be surpassed.“
(Niels Kaiser, CD des Tages in hr2, 8.11.2005)

“this blend of three timbres is simply enchanting … pure joy …“
