About
Holland Baroque presents Bachs Königin, an album full of masterful organ works by J.S. Bach, transcribed for the orchestra by Judith and Tineke Steenbrink. These creative interpretations add unique colours and a fresh spirit to baroque monuments. Here is yet another chance to enjoy Bach’s genius.
Holland Baroque is an original and innovative baroque orchestra that approaches baroque repertoire through a fresh and contemporary approach, with a focus on improvisation and collaborations with outstanding artists from different traditions. Bachs Königin is their fifth Pentatone album, after having released Minne (2022) Brabant 1653, Polonoise (both 2021) and Silk Baroque (2019) with the label.

Awards and reviews
April 2023
Best known in the programme are Nos 2 and 5 of the Organ Sonatas Bach allegedly wrote for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, as part of his organist’s training. Their texture lends itself to sympathetic transcriptions, reminding us that, perhaps, not all the music was originally intended for solo organ.

nothing is lovelier than the album’s very opening...There is so much in the texture to enjoy: the violins articulate with a charming naivety, there’s impressively expansive bassoon-playing from Wouter Verschuren, and the general zest and zing is infectious.
