JORGE JIMENEZ AND FABIO BONIZZONI

Violin and the harpsichord come together in the sublime sonatas of J.S. Bach. Despite their differences, historically he two instruments and their respective repertoires were interchangeable, thanks to many skillful transcriptions. The famous Toccata and fugue for organ is a case in point: some believe it was initially written for solo violin. This concert provides an opportunity to hear this celebrated work, possibly in its original version…

You can also hear Fabio Bonizzoni and his ensemble La Risonanza perform in the Complete Bach Cantatas Series on Sunday, October 28, 2018.
