Bach: Complete Arias - Volume 5 (Alto - BWV 94, 103, 117)

Description

This edition includes a realized keyboard part for the basso continuo.

In the vocal oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach, the arias scored for obbligato flute, for two flutes or for oboe constitute a dazzlingly varied repertoire. Treated on an equal footing with the vocal part, the obbligato parts assume solo duties in many pieces. The most demanding solo passages composed for these instruments in the 18th century are occasionally hidden in Bach's arias.
