Keith Jarrett is the best-selling solo pianist in the world, both
classical and jazz. No other performer has his unique combination of
broad popular appeal and critical recognition. His solo work and
recording partnership with Michaela Petri have brought him both chart
success and Grammy nominations. Keith Jarrett and Kim Kashkashian, one
of the classical world's most acclaimed and interesting violists, meet
to perform Bach's glorious Sonatas for Viola da Gamba. Though written
for viola da gamba, these works are frequently played on cello or
viola. This is the only recording currently available with viola and
harpsichord.
