JS Bach & Taneyev: Inventio

The pure polyphonic quality of J.S. Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias cannot be overstated – simple yet bursting with ideas, they offer an agile introduction to late-baroque musical forms and imitative writing in general, while retaining a cantabile feel. These exquisite miniatures, transcendent of the didactic purpose to which they were relegated for too long, provide an orderly and at once concise and comprehensive survey of Bach’s soundscape. Composers: Johann Sebastian Bach and Sergei Taneyev Artists: Yulia Berinskaya: violin Valentina Danelon: violin Anna Serova: viola
