Annotation

"Recording of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Trio Sonatas (BWV 525–530) performed by the Canadian ensemble Arion, released on the Analekta label as part of their ‘Fleurs de lys’ series. Features historically informed interpretations on period instruments, highlighting clarity of melodic lines and seamless, musically driven momentum. According to the Winnipeg Free Press, Arion demonstrates “enviable control of melodic and harmonic tension,” with tempos that maintain texture without becoming clogged, and a way of dovetailing phrases to create continuous musical flow. Includes detailed liner notes and a photo of the ensemble."
