About

Within J S Bach’s wonderfully rich organ repertoire, the six organ trio sonatas are unique in their degree of difficulty and musical splendour. The version represented on this CD features the instrumental combination of recorder and harpsichord or organ. Occasional alterations had to be made to accommodate the recorder. Some keys have been altered to suit the range of the recorder, something Bach also did regularly with his own arrangements. Over the past centuries, the organ trio sonatas have inspired many musicians to make arrangements. In this particular instrumental version the six sonatas form a welcome and invaluable addition to the 18th-century recorder repertoire.

Reine-Marie Verhagen studied the recorder with Pieter van Veen and Walter van Hauwe and graduated in 1976. She is a regular member of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Ton Koopman, and has performed in several 17th century operas with the ensemble La Sfera Armoniosa and its musical director Mike Fentross.

Tini Mathot first studied piano, then harpsichord, at the Sweelinck Conservatory of Music in her home town of Amsterdam. She works closely together with her husband and former teacher Ton Koopman, a duo which performs numerous well- and less-known works for harpsichord, fortepiano and organ. Tini Mathot is mainly active as a performing musician in the field of chamber music. She is a member of the Corelli Ensemble, along with Reine Marie Verhagen. She was awarded the Diapason d’Or in France for the interpretation of the Haydn Trios on CD, released by Erato (with Andrew Manze, violin, and Jaap ter Linden, violoncello).
