Bach - Concerto for two harpsichords in C major BWV 1061 - Corti/Henstra | Netherlands Bach Society

In the Concerto for two harpsichords, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, the two harpsichordists are busy. So much skill in the keyboards means a raw deal for the strings. Almost everywhere, they double the soloists exactly, apart from the odd independent motif. The origins of these string parts is filled with speculation. Might the spartan string parts have been added later by son Wilhelm Friedemann, rather than father Johann Sebastian? With harpsichordists Francesco Corti and Siebe Henstra on the Concerto for two harpsichords in C major.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 3rd 2017 at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam.
