About

This album features new arrangements for harpsichord and guitar of Bach’s Six Trio Sonatas for Organ, BWV 525-530.

Extravagantia Duo, two talented and learned young musicians, met the challenge of transforming Bach’s organ masterpieces with a fresh approach, exploring traditional repertoire from an unusual perspective.

Luigi Accardo and Francesco Molmenti dig deeply into Bach’s historical background and create a musical language of their own.

“We decided to approach this repertoire with a reading that would be as historically informed as possible. And if the organ’s three-part writing finds a natural transposition through the assignment of the first keyboard to the guitar and of the second keyboard and pedalboard to the harpsichord, our interpretation also aimed at highlighting the potential of both instruments in the realization of the continuo and of the ornamentation.

“We endeavoured to make as credible and convincing as possible the unconventionality of a choice of instruments that, in actual fact, is not distant from 18th-century practice, and which makes it possible to explore, from an unusual perspective, repertoire that is well-established in tradition.”
– Francesco Molmenti
