Composers
Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750)

Sooner or later the Ricercar Consort had to confront the spirit of the ricercar, explicitly advocated by Bach in his 'Musical Offering': a collection of canons, fugues and other works based on a single musical theme given to him by Frederick the Great of Prussia.

In the order chosen by the Ricercar Consort, the Trio Sonata for flute, violin, and continuo takes up a central position, separating the three-part ricercar, from its six-part counterpart, a dense, fluid work, extremely challenging for the performers. Thanks to the ordering adopted in this new recording, this 'Ricercare à 6' appears in its full grandeur, illuminated by the mosaic of the canons.
