Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Johann Sebastian Bach's masterpieces, reimagined for the trumpet in this captivating album, "Bach, JS: Works for Trumpet." Released on January 9, 2006, under Warner Classics, this classical gem spans a concise yet fulfilling 71 minutes, offering a fresh perspective on Bach's iconic compositions.
The album is a testament to the brilliance of arrangements and transcriptions by Alison Balsom and Tom Carey, who skillfully adapt Bach's works for trumpet, both as a solo instrument and in ensemble settings.

Highlights include the energetic "Badinerie" from the Orchestral Suite No. 2, the serene "Aria variata alla maniera italiana," and the moving "Agnus Dei" from the Mass in B Minor. The album also features a delightful arrangement of "Bist du bei mir," a piece formerly attributed to Bach but now known to be by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel.
