INVIOLATA BACH

The debut album of my duo Inviolata presents a WP-recording of all three of J. S. Bach’s wonderful gamba sonatas (BWV 1027-29) played on viola and accordion.

The recording has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews in Danish and Swedish newspapers as well as in acclaimed magazines as The Strad and Gramophone.

“The three gamba sonatas by J. S. Bach are well established as a central part of western music.
11 characteristic movements invite the performer and listener to embark on a fascinating journey through joyful dances, caring sweet conversations, unflagging rides and slow, painfully slow, contemplations. 

We love this music! 

Their compositional structure of three equal voices is naturally suited to our duo.
Thus, we delved into the possibilities of these unique sonatas to see what could be discovered with the union of our two much underrated instruments. 
We hope that this recording will not leave you ‘untouched'”.
