One of Bach's most beautiful harpsichord pieces

I am biased because the "French Suites" are how I first fell in love with Bach's harpsichord works, and yet we often find in life that where we started out is where we tend to return...

This is the Sarabande from the suite in d minor. I just love how it builds and lifts and then releases in an outpouring of passion.



Christophe Rousset is an amazing harpsichordist.

Neo-Baroque

Lovely neo-Baroque composition by Remo Giazotto (1910 - 1998), who at first attributed it to Baroque composer Tomaso Albinoni (1671 - 1751).


Adagio for Strings and Organ in g minor
Conducted by Maria Teresa Garatti
