Bach: the recorder parts of his vocal works
Bach, J S arr. Hofmann & Thalheimer
Solo various. Johann Sebastian Bachs recorder parts are amongst the most delightful artistic challenges which baroque music has to offer players of this instrument. In the 25 cantatas and oratorios in which Bach uses the recorder, there are parts with moderate technical demands, but also many where the instrument is at the limits of the performing techniques of the time. Taken as a whole, Bachs recorder parts constitute a body of study material which presents plenty of challenges even for advanced players.
