Bach: Sonatas for Viola Da Gamba & Harpsichord

Legends of the period-performance community Sarah Cunningham and Richard Egarr need little introduction with their contributions to recorded music garnering critical acclaim from early music afficionados across the decades. They join forces for their AVIE Records debut recording of J.S. Bach's celebrated Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord together with Cunningham's dazzling Organ Trio Sonata and Flute Partita arrangements to conclude the program. The Gamba Sonatas have long-established themselves as a staple in the cello/gamba repertoire, notably extending their fame into popular culture with the Adagio from Sonata No. 3 featuring (alongside with Bach's solo suites) in Anthony Minghella's 1990 BAFTA award-winning movie "Truly, Madly, Deeply", starring Alan Rickman and Juliet Stephenson.
