My Beautiful Music offering today is pure self indulgence! These are two of my favorite compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. First, flutist Emmanuel Pahud and harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock play a Flute Sonata that is near and dear to my heart as a flutist. I learned it as a teenager and have performed it many times, and was even scheduled to play it in a March 2020 concert that had to be canceled. The other piece is Bach’s Double Violin Concerto. I adore the middle movement — it is tender and extraordinarily beautiful. For fun, I chose an historic recording featuring two giants: Yehudi Menuhin and David Oistrakh. At the bottom, you will also find a link to my interview with Emmanuel Pahud from a few years ago.
