J.S. Bach: Transcriptions for Unaccompanied Viola
A rare chance to hear two of the greatest works for solo violin played on the viola, coupled with a transcription of the the sixth cello suite. Robin Ireland has chosen to play pieces that he believes are particularly suited to the viola, which brings new warmth and depth of sonority to the violin works and a lightness to the translucent sixth suite.
