Bach: Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord & Works by Froberger, Handel, and Telemann
Johann Sebastian Bach's sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord are often overshadowed by his solo works, even though he intensively explored these six pieces throughout his life – notable for the equal role played by both instruments.
