Violinist Adele Anthony

One of the great things about Johann Sebastian Bach is the wonderful variety of music that he left us, when he composed it in the 1700’s. Yesterday I posted about his Partitas and Toccatas for harpsichord, now mostly played by pianists; today, it is music for violin as accompanied by chamber orchestra, and Suites for orchestra.

As a start, here are some audio ‘nibbles’ for you, from my Spotify catalog. These feature Adele Anthony as soloist:
