BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Sharon Bezaly, London Baroque

Flautist Sharon Bezaly and London Baroque perform a range of Bach's flute music.

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)
Bach: Flute Sonata in E major, BWV 1035 
Bach: Suite No 2 in B minor, BWV 1067 (movts 5 - Polonaise; 6 - Menuett; 7 - Badinerie)
