JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750) Sonata for violin and basso continuo in E minor BWV1023 1. [Prelude] 2. Adagio ma non tanto Performed by Helene Schmitt, violin Alain Gervreau, cello Jan Willem Jansen, harpsichord *This particular sonata is of doubtful authenticity, though I myself think that this is more likely to be authentic than it's sister doubtful sonatas for violin and continuo. However, we only have one unsigned copy and the choice of movements is rather odd. Interestingly, like it's sister sonata BWV1021, this piece is a pure lesson in continuo writing. THe figuring is extremely detailed, to the point of being almost a tablature, leaving the player little leeway.

Nov 19, 2008 - My God...Here Bach was floating on lysurgic acid down a vision of a soon to be Canalletto canvas.This has no Bach language...at all. Much closer to Matteis or Vivaldi. This performance is beautifully intimate.Helene Schmitt must be a goddess,who stayed ouf of conservatory.

Aug 30, 2008 - AHHH! You are great to remenber pieces that I didn't listen at so many time!! :) When I listen this sonata (marvellous one!) I allways remenber the RV565 of Vivaldi. After the moment of annunciation that the "tempest" is coming up Vivaldi, like Bach, say to us: well, you wish...! and both written a marvellous adagio (spicato on Vivaldi and non tanto in Bach). :) Thaks for remembering me this!
