Sonata No. 1 in G minor for violin solo, BWV 1001

Available for over a year

The set of 6 violin Sonatas and Partitas opens with a forlorn yet technically challenging violin solo. A complex Fugue and lively Presto are the standout movements in a work that tests the player’s technique to the max. Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach Performer: Jennifer Pike (Violin) Recording date: 21 June 2009 Date of broadcast: 20 April 2010
