Serving as pianist and curator, the acclaimed Simone Dinnerstein opens Bach from the Piano with selections of the composer's six sonatas (BWV 1014–1019), considered to be among his finest compositions.
C.P.E. Bach called his father’s six sonatas with harpsichord among his finest compositions, possibly due to the juxtaposition of a through-composed keyboard part against the ‘solo’ instrument, which was novel at the time. Each of the pieces on this program exemplify this fresh approach, featuring both instruments as equal partners with exhilarating results.
Dinnerstein will be joined by an incredible cast of musicians: Christina Jennings (flute), Rebecca Fischer (violin), and Alexis Pia Gerlach (cello).
