About

Throughout his life, Johann Sebastian Bach arranged and parodied his own and other composers' works.

This openness to the practice of transcription, which has been demonstrated in so many ways, encourages the composer to venture into new instrumentations even in modern times.

This is what the baroque violinist Annegret Siedel and the organist Ute Gremmel-Geuchen practice here with great joy in experimentation.

Particularly exciting are, for example, the famous Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 in the presumed original version for violin solo as well as organ arrangements of some individual movements of the choral motet Jesu, meine Freude BWV 227. Of course, both also play together, for example in the Trio Sonata in E minor BWV 528.

Annegret Siedel studied in her native Berlin and successively held the position of first violinist in the orchestra of the Komische Oper in Berlin and in the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra. A regular concert performer, she expands her versatile violin repertoire with concertos for the viola d'amore, parts for the viola and violino piccolo.
