Sophie Scolnik-Brower - Complete Sonatas for Flute (2CD)

Facts When Johann Sebstian Bach composed his flute sonatas, the flute was in it's infancy as a replacement for the popular recorder. Nevertheless, his musical genius rings out as richly layered harmony and emotions exude from each fluently written piece on J.S. BACH COMPLETE SONATAS FOR FLUTE & PIANO. On this two-disc recording, the mother-daughter duo of flutist Julie Scolnik, lauded by the Boston Globe for her "urgency full of fire that melts into disarming delicacy," and pianist Sophie Scolnik-Brower further amplify Bach's expressiveness, swapping the usual harpsichord for piano to deepen the dynamics and phrasing throughout the compositions.
