Description
In 1977, a capsule containing samples of the world's musical heritage was rocketed into space. It was probably no coincidence that more music by the German Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach than by any other composer had been recorded on the golden double disc accompanying NASA's Voyager space probe.
Chamber works of the Baroque era might be played on instruments that varied from one performance to another, and material was commonly recycled. Bach's flute sonatas were originally performed on a wooden traverso flute together with a harpsichord and viol or some other bass instrument.
The instruments on this release are a 24-carat gold flute and the Naantali Church organ built in the 17th-century Dutch Baroque style. The advantages of a modern flute are adapted to suit early music and its aesthetics. The organ's tuning differs slightly from equal temperament, and the rich registration affords new characteristic perspectives on the familiar repertoire.
