JOHANN CHRISTIAN BACH (1735-1782): Quintets for Flute, Oboe, Violin, Viola and Continuo, Op. 11, No. 1 in C, No. 3 in F and No. 6 in D, Quintets for Flute, Oboe, Violin, Cello and Harpsichord, Op. 22, No. 1 in D and for Oboe, Violin, Viola, Cello and Harpsichord, Op. 22 No. 2 in F, Sextet in C for Harpsichord, Oboe, 2 Horns, Violin and Cello.

Description: Bach's attractive, tuneful, harmonically adventurous, forward-looking chamber music is now overlooked as other composers of his period are being discovered for the first time, which is a shame. So here's a fine new recording on period instruments of a selection dating from the 1770s. All these works are under-recorded and Op. 22/2 is claimed as a first recording. Amarillis.
