Bach always wrote expressively for this eloquent member of the viol family, above all in the wonderful G minor Sonata whose outer movements adhere to the ritornello principles of a Vivaldian concerto. Jonathan Manson and Trevor Pinnock form a hugely rewarding partnership. The controversial interplay between the instruments is animated and engaging and the rapport between the artists hardly can be placed in doubt.
