Peter Roennfeldt & Friends

Bach and Handel were both gifted keyboard musicians, so it is natural that they produced many works featuring the harpsichord in both solo and accompaniment roles. The trio sonata is the baroque era's most favoured chamber music combination, but quite often Bach assigns one of the treble lines to the harpsichord, as in his rather extrovert Violin Sonata in G major. Somewhat unusually, this sonata also includes a central movement for solo harpsichord. The Handel trio sonata on this program is an excellent example of the customary combination of two violins and continuo.

This concert will feature recorder, oboe and bassoon in various combinations with the other string and keyboard players.
