J. S. Bach. Sonatas for violin and harpsichord
Andres Mustonen (violin), Imbi Tarum (harpsichord), Ene Nael (harpsichord), Svetlana Vest (harpsichord, Israel)

It’s easy to play any musical instrument:
all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself. /…/
I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music.
(Johann Sebastian Bach)

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach is like a divine paradise.
If, in your youth, you manage, even slightly, to open its doors, you’ll end up spending the rest of your life there –
it absorbs you completely and you cannot get out any more. And, honestly, you won’t want to.
(Andres Mustonen)

One determined violinist, three graceful harpsichordists, six enchanting sonatas – a winter afternoon in its full inner beauty.
