Emily O'Brien Presents "Bach's Organ Trio Sonatas for the Recorder"

In this multi-tracked video project on Wednesday, July 28, Emily O’Brien plays her own transcriptions of Bach’s amazing works using seven recorders ranging from soprano down to the sonorous contrabass. The organ trio sonatas of J.S. Bach are intimate, thrilling, sublime, touching and uplifting. While they are brilliantly polyphonic, they are ultimately conceived for just a single player to perform on the organ. The recorder is capable of expressive subtleties of articulation and shaping tones that an organ is not, but a lone recorder player cannot hope to cover all three parts at once--or can she? Donations are encouraged for this virtual event.
