Bach's gamba sonatas have been played on a wide variety of instruments over the course of time - just like the two pieces Spiegel im Spiegel and Fratres by Arvo Pärt. Apart from the contrast that the two composers represent simply because of their different eras, however, the changeability of the pieces is not the only thing they have in common: both Bach and Pärt always have a spiritual statement at their core. This was the central point for violist Annette Bartholdy and her piano accompanist Benjamin Engeli in the conception of their current album.
