Cellist Anner Bylsma is joined by organist Bob van Asperen for this recording of compositional works by Johann Sebastian Bach alongside a piece by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach from “Musikalisches Vielerley”. Originally this recording has been processed using 20-bit technology to maximize sound quality.
They are, as we might expect from such an accomplished artist, very good indeed. Bylsma draws a ravishing sound from his instrument often with profoundly affecting results. These experiments have considerable charm in the hands of such gifted players as these; and, in addition a recording of one of J.C.F.Bach’s two cello sonatas is welcome. It is lightweight but effectively written and delightfully performed music. Bylsma is a veritable poet, and Bob van Asperen provides a sensitive, tasteful partnership and the recorded sound is excellent.
