Sharon Bezaly, London Baroque

Flautist Sharon Bezaly and London Baroque perform a range of Bach's flute music including the Solo Sonata in A minor, BWV 1013, and the Sonata in E, BWV 1035.

Considering that neither Bach nor any member of his family played the instrument, the flute is a remarkably strong presence both in his domestic chamber music and his orchestral works. Flautist Sharon Bezaly and London Baroque perform a range of Bach's flute music from the Solo Partita, his only solo work for the flute, through two of his sonatas to movements from the Suite in B minor which highlight the flute.

Handel: Sonata in B minor, Op 1 No 9
Bach: Sonata in A minor, BWV 1013, for unaccompanied flute (3rd movement: Sarabande)
Kalevi Aho): Solo III for flute (2nd mvt: Presto)
