BACH DOUBLE VIOLIN CONCERTO
Description
On this wonderfully satisfying, Baroque-centered program, violinists John Storgårds and Paul Huang play one of the most cherished works of the violin repertoire—the so-called “Bach Double”; violist Che-Yen Chen and cellist Peter Stumpf solo in concertos by Telemann and C. P. E. Bach, respectively; and the Escher String Quartet plays Mozart’s starkly beautiful arrangement of Bach’s Fugue in E Major, BWV 878, from The Well-Tempered Clavier.
