Chaque fois que la musique de Bach est reprise avec un autre ou d’autres instruments que celui prévu à l’origine cela fait ressortir de façon renouvelée le génie du Maître qui parvient à rendre très agréable à l’oreille un exercice, le contrepoint, qui est en même temps un plaisir intellectuel. La façon dont les lignes mélodiques se mêlent, s’entrecroisent est une merveille de l’esprit humain. Il faut que ces reprises soient parfaitement interprétées pour en saisir toute la beauté et c’est le cas ici. Grande clarté et belles articulations de ce quatuor. Merci Messieurs !

You just reminded me that I transcribed some piece of music into something for two tenor recorders and bass. The sound was beautiful. I never knew there was a double bass recorder. Thanks for this gorgeous piece.
