Concert 4: The Obbligato Sonatas

  • Perennialle Plants Nursery 29 Gaskill Street Canowindra, NSW, 2804 Australia (map)

The trio sonata elevated to perfection

Madeleine Easton - Violin
Daniel Yeadon - Baroque Cello
Neal Peres da Costa - Harpsichord

Artistic Director and violinist Madeleine Easton is joined by two of Australia’s most lauded early music specialists Neal Peres Da Costa and Anton Baba to present a selection of Bach’s much loved Obbligato sonatas for violin, harpsichord and viola da gamba. In a rare departure from his usual compositional style, Bach took the existing baroque trio sonata form and utterly excelled himself, producing a new and innovative example of three-part contrapuntal writing showcasing the depth of his musical expression and the apparently inexhaustible inventive resources of his genius. They are nothing short of perfection.
